But we can and should mock them for having such a culture of enforced conformity that those who are different are just now in 2019 being embraced as having a place in their culture. 

When mainstream aggys understand mocking “2 percenters” has long been a stain on aggy culture, it will be a moment of progress.

Can we use this as a vehicle to make fun of them for everything else? As in "so what they are really saying is they are just letting even more freshman?"

Whose the coach on the far left? Seems like he might be ok.

[Homesickhorn 2202]

Noticed that too.

[Goodman 3273]

Jimbo catches no heat for the type of program he runs. Last off-season his staff almost killed an OL, the racist LB exposed how they cheat the mandated hours, his first photo as coach was with uncle Ro Simon, you don't have to attend class. Ever and still graduate as a fb player...His teams will always have a large contingent of bad seeds.

[markstanco 12505]

That's fine, but you'll be serving them fries while they're on the way to a ski vacation.

I got it. Nobody else did sadly.

Not just aggy here, but do these things not piss you off like it does me?

 

A chance to play in the NFL, and if you suck you still make $480k as a rookie. If you are good get 8 figures.

 

Yet you put your hands on a female. You fucking dumbass. Have fun at Sam's Club working the early shift at $12 an hour.

 

[Mantis Toboggan, MD 1499]

These cases are bullshit as often as they are true so I’m not going to base an opinion on a news article or a domestic violence charge. But I can judge him on being an aggy, which is really dumb.

True. And the program also raises the average IQ on campus at aggy.

Unfortunately the academic rigor the students in the program experience will drop from what they’re used to.

Is it? I mean I am all for providing services to this population but is that really the job of major four year Universities? I thought those were supposed to be for elite students. I am just not sure how I feel about it.

I guess I am still stuck in the old pre-Rick Perry mindset that A&M is this great school with a few weird aspects. Now I guess it wants to be giant community college and general state service provider while also trying to be a first class university. Well I guess if they can do everything at once it will be instructive to the rest of us.

I mean why not run a big program for high school dropouts at UT? People could come in and UT could help them get their GEDs and prepare them for future employment and they can join all the clubs and take the classes and UT could treat them like real UT students and they could fulfill their dreams of being at a top University and we would be providing this great service to the state. But...is that really something that UT should be doing? Granted that would be completely impractical with campus now surrounded by a massive city with no place to fit more people on campus, but that was just a mental exercise.

Rick Perry with the lulz. What a maroon.

Quote

WASHINGTON — At Rick Perry's Energy Department, liquefied natural gas now has a patriotic pseudonym: "freedom gas."

The new nickname was revealed on Wednesday by one of the former Texas governor's under secretaries, Mark Menezes, who used the phrase in a mostly mundane Energy Department news release about expanding LNG exports from a southeast Texas terminal.

"Increasing export capacity from the Freeport LNG project is critical to spreading freedom gas throughout the world by giving America's allies a diverse and affordable source of clean energy," Menezes said.

Too bad that wasn’t available while Johnny was in school.

So now Daniel can actually graduate from A&M?

Mississippi State has had that program for years. Welcome aboard.

This is only a transition phase to the final destination:

They will soon begin putting their brands on the side of the stadium wall, e.g. aggy State Forest Service, etc.

Also in the Hall of Air.

In fact, they could fill the Hall of Air with aggygas.

Brilliant.

[UTEX_ME 4754]

aggy is so dumb. Do they not understand ESPN still picked up a Texas game, in Austin, in primetime, where Gameday is most likely going to be?  Do they not realize last year gameday was at the Cotton Bowl? I am missing where this is a haha moment at Texas. https://texags.com/forums/6/topics/3038590

So,per the Big XII contract, in odd numbered years (here)

http://mattsarzsports.com/Contract/GameList/Big12/2019#.XPFM3YhKjcs
 

Quote:

Big 12 selection order for each week will be determined via a draft of weeks before the season. In even numbered years, FOX will retain the top choice of weeks and in odd numbered years, ESPN wiil have it.

ESPN/ABC has the first pick the biggest game of the year it wants in the Big 12. This year it happened to think it was LSU/Texas instead of the biggest conference game of OU/Texas, which was left to Fox at 11 AM. I guess ABC wanted a prime time game instead of a sheety 11 AM game.

Does it really about to a hill of beans if a poster on some web site gives up or not? Does it affect the team or something?

Stuff like this is why “aggy jokes” exist. They don’t realize that we were still ESPN’s first choice, aggys are relegated to a 2:30 time slot against the defending national champions on the same day while we get prime time, and that a game like this happens once every 10-15 years, not every season like the TX-OU game.

[Go Pokes 979]

I can’t even imagine being such a fucking loser that I would have to pick apart every word written about OU and try to twist it around to put them in a bad light. It’s one my favorite things about aggy. They so desperately want to be seen as UTs equal.
