Good lord aggys, y’all are such a mess

The 2010 one always gets me. If I remember correctly they lost a 3-way tiebreaker which means they didn’t even win the B12 South. As much as we talk about how the kids we are recruiting were toddlers when we last won a National Championship, we’ve at least played on Conference Championship weekend this millennium. Last time those goobers played in a conference championship game Bill Clinton was President. Their highlights since then are having a Hesiman trophy winner, overpaying for a mediocre head coach, a top-ranked recruiting class this year, and beating Bama twice.

I'm so bored with pot-smoking sports writers, journalists, opposing fans, and all the others putting on the charade that possession is even a newsworthy event.

I've never smoked pot. Ever. I don't give a shit if other people do. Some people clearly benefit from it by chilling the fuck out when they need it.

That's the funny part. They haven't even been close to wining a conference title, since 1998, outside of two years. 

1) 2010 when there was a 3 way tiebreaker in the Big 12 South. That aggy team wasn't very good either as LSU spanked them in a bowl game and aggy still lost 4 games. It was just a weird year in the Big 12. 

2) 2020 where they finished 8-1 in the SEC during a Covid year. Their wins had a combined 31-42 record.

But getting arrested always draws attention. Doesn’t really matter what for.

What gets me is when anyone, no matter what school affiliation, peels back the fluff and exposes out how mediocre their seasons have really been, they defend it with "better than tu".  Like that magically makes their little over .500 lifetime average mean more.

We've sucked for over a decade and we are well aware of it.  They've been almost as shitty. When it goes into the record books, an 8-4 season is still an 8-4 season no matter what conference you played in.

After last night, it's clear that I  really have been living in a bubble.  A family member of mine, before saying things like "good to see you" or "merry Christmas " went right into "is Texas ever going to recover from this?" "You probably need a new coach" ... that was when I was reminded that the greatest things that ever happen at gomer are other people's misfortune, specifically Texas. I'm usually prepared for things like that, but work and covid, amongst other things, I had forgotten how shitty their fandom is.

So yes, I hope he bought multiple tickets and can't sell them for shit. All in all, this past season was a zero burger for everyone not named Bama, Michigan, Georgia or Cincy.

Gator Bowl not refunding goober fans’ money, saying they bought tickets to see the “event” not to see a team. 

well if the Gator Bowl advertised the game as Wake Forest and Texas A&M they should probably give some refunds, but this is beautiful.

Let me get this straight. Their 2010 fine print will need another finer print?

ministry opinion eagle dude:

"Rutgers won't sell tickets. Then again, aggy wasn't selling tickets either. aggy played in the Gator Bowl in 2018. Jacksonville fans weren't excited about a 21st-ranked 8-4 aggy back then on a beautiful day, so they surely won't be excited about a Rutgers team that went 2-7 in the b1g losing 4 games by 3 tds including blowout losses to wisky and tosu.  Rutgers could turn on tv sets in new york and the east coast to offset the loss of aggy, which is always a good tv draw (?????)."

blah blah blah about tv ratings......

gator bowl dude:

"but the good news is we'll have no competition in our time slot, and we lead in to the two CFP semifinals."

somebody else with the jeff goldblum gif may do the honors

not a chance if I'm the Gator Bowl.  aggy could have asked it to be moved out, right?  also, people bought tix before they knew who the teams would be. 

aggy bitching out is glorious.  their whole fan base needs to own this.  lock, stock and barrel.

My point, amigo, is that the arrest shouldn't be ballyhooed into some identifying moment for a person. At this point, it's like being arrested for wearing socks.
Still illegal in Texas and on the federal level so anyone with even the slightest bit of fame and an available pic on the webs (everyone) will get it posted along with a small article. I mean, media outlets have people who's job is looking at police arrest reports for any names that stand out.

If these guys can potentially make millions while still in school, they can take responsibilty for doing something stupid.

Where might one find these socks, the wearing of which is similar to the consumption of marijuana? Asking for a friend.

This stretch of creek was supposed to be a manmade lake. It's about a 15 foot drop from street level down to the water.

Screenshots_2021-12-25-15-15-03.png.779756f76e3622cb52a8e107c2cce6e3.png

aggy couldn't figure out how to keep it from draining, so they turned the embankment into a frisbee golf course. It has been a few decades now, so most aggy are blissfully unaware of the history of this example of aggy engineers continuing the long, storied tradition of aggy quitting.

Seems like a really stupid risk to take for a guy who wants to be drafted early by the NFL. All of it was stupid on his part, regardless what you think of the law. Fuck that moron.

SIAP. 

"Any bowl game can be moved to as late as Jan. 10 without a waiver to accommodate schools that might need additional time to prepare for competition."

I'm loving that it's turned my aggy neighbors into Charlie.

Too. Bad. If only they had a fan in the stands to Come down and play.

Please don’t tell Aggy that there is a thing that you can postpone bowl games until January 10th for COVID.

They bitched out. Plain and simple.

Haven’t they heard of bentonite?
