I will be shocked if we don't beat A&M by 10 at Kyle Field.

We’re gonna beat their asses but 10 possessions is a little optimistic. I just hope they don’t embarrass us with a Johnny jolly dance when shutting down our 8th string rb on the 9th up the middle run during rhe 3rd quarter.

My god they're about to witness an absolute massacre in their own stadium. Their defense will be hobbled and their 4th string QB might actually be someone from the stands. 

The vaunted 12th Man! Ya don't stand a chance, ya stoopid 'sip!

Texas fans keep tripping over their own feet with the Jim Schlossnagle situation while Texas A&M baseball keeps pulling in top recruits
It's actually pretty impressive that a university with such a developed network of media members has managed to bungle the narrative surrounding hire of their rival's coach so badly. When it first came across everyone's timelines that Jim Schlossnagle was headed to Texas, the Longhorns seemed content to be smug—until the situation with Richard Zane's question at the presser blew up in their faces.


ADVERTISING


Facing a media blowback, Texas attempted to swing the idea that Schlossnagle was a sympathetic figure. That also did not work.

There's little doubt that the public narrative surrounding Schloss's departure has had a deleterious effect on the Longhorns' recruiting efforts. In contrast, the Aggies' hire of Michael Earley has looked to be a stroke of genius, as he and his staff have stymied any attempt at momentum from Austin. Not a single major contributor left the Aggies' roster, and A&M has pulled in portal prospects left and right, not to mention snagged both of the top Longhorn pitching pledges over the next two years.

Now, Texas is trying to puff out their chests about this whole thing, despite the failure it has been so far. Hence Anwar Richardson from Orangebloods attempting this shot at Texas A&M:

Aside from the fact that this analogy says more about the person using it than anything else, this... doesn't really make a lot of sense. First of all, if Texas "taking the hot girl home" (odd stand-in for this middle-aged man) means they got him to be their coach, then wouldn't that mean she was seeing the first guy the whole time? He was A&M's coach, and now he's Texas's coach. He's doing the same thing at both places.

It's just not really accurate. It's kind of like saying "revenge is a dish best served cold" when someone gets revenge without regard to the timing or physical temperature of the revenge. It's kind of catchy, but it doesn't really describe the situation. I guess "A&M was buying drinks for this smoking hot baseball coach who is a girl and now Texas is buying her drinks" isn't quite as snappy, though.


It's kind of embarrassing to attempt to approach this with bravado and trip over yourself like this. Especially so against the backdrop of the three or four different media tacks that Texas has tried to take on this whole situation.

Oh well. It's almost football season.

This fucking guy spent two paragraphs writing about how a throwaway line by an OB writer about taking home a girl from a bar wasn’t an exact analog of Texas taking their baseball coach. I mean wtf.

The fact the he is trying told hold up Anwar's tweet as, somehow, emblematic of how "Texas" is responding to this whole situation is just everything that is wrong with his half-assed brand of journalism.

Is there a significant faction of Texas fans predicting a cakewalk?  Seems to be the SEC concern of the month.

Speaking of dumbasses, I saw this beauty today in which they said "when they run out of their tunnel in their home whites, you can't help but laugh".  

See if you can spot the flaw in their "logic".  I mean, it's right there in front of their face, but beyond that, verify before posting?

May be an image of crowd and text

Oh he will, but it’s gonna be a while before we see it!

I get your joke, but the amount of manufactured arrogance just kept on coming last week.  Sark said he respected the league, well that is arrogance.  But when Venables says he respects the league, but not scared of any of them, thats a hall pass. And the horns down penalty / no penalty was another ad nauseum topic. "Are the players and fans going to get their feelings hurt if an opposing team does it?"

I just saw in my feed that Ketchum and Liucci did a joint video a couple of days ago (not linking because fuck Ketch). That may be the most amount of suck in a video since Debbie did Dallas. 

...or when Finebaum and Herbstreit share the stage

That tells you one important thing, sounds like you need to clean up your feeds.
