He’s gotta be writing purely for surly, right?  I haven’t seen a single thread on Texags about any of his articles. Admittedly, I only wade into that cesspool about once a month. Even Liucci has to shake his head at this. 

He's trying to crack a market that Liucci has completely locked up. You aint gonna win over aggy with rationale discussion of why their athletic department is a festering asshole of incompetence for the last 20 85 years, so he's gotta try and out-Liucci ole Billy. Will he be successful? Probably not, who really cares. Just enjoy him before he decides he can make more money manning the glory holes around CS.

I keep waiting for Ashton Kutcher to jump from behind Graham Harmon and letting us all know we've been punked.

It's nice for them that gay marriage is finally a thing.

GH can’t conceive of a scenario where Texas is anything more than a mediocre, middling, also-ran in the SEC and they are perpetually on the cusp of vying for conference supremacy.   Never change my friend.  His myopia just adds to the mystique of aggy weirdness. 

 

He doesn’t believe a single word he writes. He just writes whatever the Aggies expect him to write so the paychecks keep cashing.  I doubt he’s even a fan and I bet he laughs every time he’s proofreading that drivel.

This is where I am at.

Is he cashing any checks?  I was under the impression that his role was a "contributor" position (unpaid content), and that he is just trying to establish a portfolio in the hopes that someone like Liucci will pick him up and pay him.  To that end, most of his clicks are probably coming from Surly--I have never seen any TAMU source discussing his fanboi takes.

Arch Manning mania may have finally jumped the shark with eye-rolling graphic from On3
As the end of the college football season has finally come, there is already a lot of talk about what we'll see in the upcoming year— and that means that the name Arch Manning is being bandied about all over the place.


The son of "the funniest Manning" is entering his third collegiate year after two sitting behind Quinn Ewers at Texas. For all the complaints Texas fans have had about Quinn, Manning was apparently unable to beat him out for snaps.

Even so, many in the college football world await his true debut with bated breath— hyping him up endlessly. This hype may have just reached a fever pitch with this projection by On3:

I'll try to steelman the argument as best I can before we really get into things: often, the top pick in the draft is a high-upside quarterback, even if that quarterback hasn't necessarily been prolific statistically. This graphic presupposes that Manning is the highest-upside quarterback in all of college football, and thus the team with the top pick would be pining after his services, even if he takes a few years to develop.

The problem with this is that there is simply nothing to show that this presupposition is grounded in any reality. Manning's tape at the college level has come against ULM and Mississippi State— neither defensive stalwarts, to say the least— and he's seen slight spot duty against Georgia and in the playoff, where he basically came in to run the ball.


He boasts a Manning name and a high rating from high school, but that's it. I'm not sure that's enough for any GM to use their top selection on him, especially when you have a guy like Jeremiah Smith— whose gifts are proven against the highest level of defense— available.

There's a lot of buzz that Manning is planning to stay in college for four years. Take it with a grain of salt, since it comes from Texas fans, but if this does indeed come to pass, I'll be interested to see which of he or Smith is selected first, as they would be in the same draft in this instance.


I get that this is essentially yelling into the void— there's really no point to try and slow down a hype train like this. But I think this is clear evidence that this obsession with an unproven redshirt sophomore has gone way too far.
