Aggie now one hit away from going o-fer for the rest of the season.  

Wouldnt be the worst thing for Jimbo to run a bunch of QB draws with Max until he gets hurt.

Weigman’s initial prognosis appears to have been a bit too optimistic. They’ll be lucky if he’s back for Ole Miss.

dude went from A&M to Cincy to the Bengals in the NFL then to Texas State and then was not kept on when they hired GJ. evidently he spent 2023 with the USFL team and now runs OL camps? so he is actually available if they wanted to re-hire him.

Turner was fired at TXST in Feb of 2022, long before Spav was fired in Nov 2022.  Not sure we ever found out what it was he said/did.

None of those teams is really good and all are very beatable by that bunch.  Alabama is the best but will never score more than 28 except against air or Middle Tennessee.  Arkansas defense is stool softened purée.  South Carolina's offensive line is garbage.  If A&M, with their talent, doesn't go at least 2-2 against that lineup then there is an inside betting scandal at work. 

But, this is true every year.  It's all part of the bullshit myth of the SEC "gauntlet."  The only difference is that this year, Alabama isn't head and shoulders above the rest.

So it's true every year and yet the ags still manage to hit that 4-4 conference mark pretty consistently, year after year.

Except for last year of course.

What did I bet and with whom on this one? I am at the point where I can't tell if I have actually placed all of these random bets or if it is taking on a meme-like quality on Surly to reference it. It's entertaining either way, at least.

When we were in Tuscaloosa we learned that 60% of Alabama's students come from out of state and ran into several students who were Texas fans. They are one of several schools in the South that offer Texas kids in-state tuition.

It's not quite like that, as far as Alabama is concerned, they do offer a ton of scholarships to offset the out of state costs.  They're very generous but they're not automatic.  My daughter had a 3.95 gpa in high school but her school and class were very competitive.  She wasn't even top 20% with those grades.  
My son went to UT and received exactly ZERO scholarships.  Most all of those go to the "disadvantaged".  At Alabama, my daughter received a merit scholarship and a couple of additional ones initially and continues to receive new ones she keeps applying. They gave her one for having "extensively traveled throughout Central America" as a kid. 
It helped her that she had a lot on her resume.  Volunteer work, FFA, Cheer, student counsel, TOKC and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few others.  The point is that is they do like students who are involved in activities that they can show they did something other than just show up or win a popularity contest  (the Texas admissions people say this as well) and that is what separated her from her peers and earned her close to $100,000 in scholarships so far. 


Oh, and she's having the time of her life.  That place parties.

p.s. The 60% out of state is true.

Her freshman year in high school.  My wife dragged our daughter to the FFA Club meeting after the teacher gave her and a couple of her cheer friends the hard sell on FFA.  My wife and daughter walk into the school looking for the meeting.  They spot a bunch of rejects and dorks sitting around in what should be the meeting location inside the cafeteria.  They both, mother and daughter, keep walking like they're there for something else and find the nearest exit to the parking lot.

In my hellscape of a high school experience, almost everyone had a blue corduroy jacket, even the cheerleaders. You can deduce the favored college football team.

Of course it shows up on the resume. She "showed up" for a meeting.

I thought it was something about how many games Weigman would start or something about him getting injured behind that OL…

Or fuck, it might just be a meme at this point. It is all starting to run together. We might need to set up a Surly bet sub-board in IPIHB to set up bet challenges and a CTJ bet tracker….

We raised a goat and she placed 2nd.  Ended up selling it for a couple thousand at auction.  She just never went to the meetings.

To get back on topic, the poor goat acted that way because it knew it was destined to be auctioned off to a sick, depraved, goat-rapist aggy.

If he wasn't, why would the kid spend so much time around him?

Oh, yeah...I almost forgot that money aggy guaranteed Jimbo.

Rumor going around aggy sites is Weigman broke a bone in his foot and is done for the season.

You can't just come waltzing in here saying that without proof! That's outlandish!!

Did you see where Greenspoint mentioned this injury earlier?

Yeah, @GreenspointTexas said he's done for the year earlier this afternoon. Specifically mentioned the 'talus' injury and said it could be career-threatening.

A little talar fracture can be analogous to a little pregnant. Here's hoping the kid recovers from this without serious long-term ankle problems.

The talus has low blood flow and typically heals much more slowly, correct?

You can’t put weight on a talus fracture for 2-3 months right? 
 
If true, this sucks for Weigman. I never wish injuries on other teams. aggy included. 

Sober me agrees with this, but inebriated me might make exceptions for the occasional OU dickhead.

Max Johnson seems like a pretty good kid, but I hope he fails. Different than wishing injury upon him to be sure.

It worked out well for aggy. They probably had to take Max in the portal to get his mid 4 star brother. At worst they are getting a serviceable back up QB and a good, young TE. I imagine Max stayed at aggy another season to play his brother. Win-win, but again I hope they lose.

Yeah, I was posting the “proof.” The poster I was responding to asked where the rumor came from. 

My response to Blacklab was a joke. He runs this place, and I thought (erroneously) that if I called him out on his statement not having any supporting link, it might be funny. Specially in light of the fact that another poster did the same thing just a bit earlier, and we kinda went with it.  Maybe I should just stick to lowbrow, food stuff.

This was a few years ago now, but Bama offered my son full out of state tuition scholarship (no room and board) based solely on his 34 ACT score. He was all but set to go, and we had placed deposits for a dorm and visited three times, until Texas offered acceptance to MCCombs (no scholarship/financial aid at all) in March of that spring, so he ended up staying here. Several of his classmates took them up on it.

If true, this sucks for Weigman. I never wish injuries on other teams. aggy included. 

It varies based on whether this is osteochondral, posterior process, lateral process, body, or neck. Best case for him is if it is a simple lateral process fracture. There is a high risk of AVN with more serious neck fractures. That’s super bad. Even if this heals up (and it can be slower than the average bone 6 week time), significant and early arthritis does occur with lots of these.
