Aggies like to claim that the origin of the name Bevo for our mascot comes from their branding a bovine they did not own without permission and not with the brand of the owner. Do they consider this more in the vein of lying, animal cruelty, or merely garden-variety felonious behavior? I am curious what part of the myth appeals to them most.

Cornyn’s Easter brisket I think from a couple of years ago. Pretty good roast all-around of him after posting. But……probably not as bad as LR’s

I tried to figure out how I might make a brisket look like that, and I can't.  That is some superior shitty cooking.

If the post had been “here’s some super cheap beef I roasted till tender then covered with ketchup and ate it out of the pan because I was fucking shithammered,” I’d have had so much more respect for it.
Hell, I might have even tried it myself.

That or “my wife has never cooked a day in her life, but we decide to let The Help have the day off for the holiday and this is what she fixed up…and believe you me, this is the best tasting ‘brisket’ I’ve ever had, wink wink”

When did this happen? I'm not sure that's how that works. 

1963. https://archive.ph/20071016140712/http://theeagle.com/aandmnews/anniversary/1rudderbio.htm https://www.tamu.edu/about/history.html

In the Constitution, it is referred to as "Agricultural & Mechanical College."  Tex. Const. Art. 7, Sec. 13.

And the name included both "college" and "agricultural" and "mechanical" until 1963, when it was "reorganized" as a university, and the agricultural and mechanical officially removed from the name.

The world sees you as an 8-3 team barely ranked in the top-25. In short, a pretty good year for a middling team.

You see yourselves as SEC championship contenders with a shot of winning the national championship.

Even after losing convincingly, some Aggies say that their bizarre position to maybe still make the championship game should be considered a good year as they re-write history and claim they generally viewed 8-4 as a good season back in August.

Childe Graham's final point is the most telling. "Hey, Georgia did it, so we can, too!" They leaned so hard into the flukish way they were at the top of the standings for the SEC, that they see themselves as near champions even after losing their last three SEC games including two games that were complete dominations.

Not all of them leaned so hard into the fiction, but anyone who objected was shouted down and accused of being without testes.

They'll always have their manly manfulness to see them through these tough and injust times.

Texas dominated Texas with turnovers.  Georgia had scoring drives (FG or TD) of 4,13,13,25,34, and 89 yards.

Five possessions starting inside our 40. Three times held to field goals. All of their points with under 200 yards of offense.

They created the turnovers and all of that, but it sure feels anomalous. It will be a different game tomorrow. They may win, but I don't expect to be like last time.

I'm very happy to play them again.

I will add this dark note: nobody should make the playoff that has already lost twice to another team in the playoffs. The system needs to be tweaked or the SEC needs to be tweaked to lessen the possibility of that happening.

Beat them dawgs!

Texas A&M football just signed quite the impressive class for Mike Elko's first year at the helm. Though things didn't end up going the way that Aggie fans wanted down the stretch of the year, the talent that is coming in via the high school ranks is considerable, with plenty of instant impact players to go around.

Late in the game, the Aggies added two five-stars at premium positions: highly-regarded wideout Jerome Myles and elite tackle prospect Lamont Rogers. Those are two players who will no doubt make a huge impact on this roster going forward.


The strength of this class, though, is in the trenches. That's where you win games in the SEC, as we've seen for years now, and so it's imperative to bring in top prospects at those positions. Mike Elko did so—at the expense of an in-state rival.

Texas A&M football helped shut out the Texas Longhorns on elite line prospects in-state
The most obvious evidence of this is from the three elite offensive tackle prospects from DFW. Ty Haywood, Michael Fasusi, and Lamont Rogers are all five-star tackles; the Aggies got Rogers, while Fasusi—despite a huge push from the Longhorns—ended up with OU. Haywood still has yet to sign, but is down to Alabama or Michigan.


Then, you have what happened with the defensive tackle talent in state. DJ Sanders, out of Bellville, was a guy that Longhorn insiders believed they were getting right up until his commitment, and then they believed once more that they were flipping him right up until he signed.

Of course, neither of these things materialized, and he inked with the Aggies. A similar story happened with another of the Ags' top DT prospects in Chace Sims, who Texas kept trying to get on campus during the fall. The Aggies weathered the storm there as well.

And we can't forget about Landon Rink. The uber-productive DT out of Houston is a Longhorn legacy, coached by his father Shane Rink—but he will wear the Maroon and White in college.


Now, Texas didn't go o-fer. They brought in DE Lance Jackson, who the Aggies never pursued, but is highly-rated by at least one service. They're waiting on the announcement of another five-star in DL Justus Terry, but it's not likely they'll get a five-star DL out of Georgia when the Bulldogs are in the mix.

The Longhorns brought in plenty of talent at DB and WR, that's true. But we saw in the Tom Herman era how overloading classes at those spots will end up for your program. You need to have the proper amount of talent on the lines of scrimmage—and in that respect, the Longhorns should be worried.

LIke...why do they add LSU and Mizzou like those were tough games?  switch Kentucky and Miss ST with those two school...Texas is STILL a one loss team.

Switch them with Tennessee/Bama/Ole Miss.  Okay...Texas is a 2 loss team, and STILL qualifies for the SEC Title game most likely.

 

Like WTF is their problem.  Basically some of them have realized their schedule was as soft as ours, and some pretend it was still tougher?

If Texas played against aggy every week we'd be 12-0

Relaxed is the antithesis of aggy.  Instead of a collie, a more appropriate mascot would be a jittery chihuahua that barks and nips impotently at bigger dogs and gets carried around in maroon Dooney & Burke purse by an overweight 45 yr-old woman with a " Proud Aggie Mom" t-shirt.
