  1. This will definitely make things worse, but I also don't know if there is any other path that eventually leads to things being better.
  2. Everybody wants to be these guys! Is Tech a blue blood, Lord? Who cares?
  3. All negated by their historically impressive loss to Miami. No one will ever achieve anything like that again.
  4. Bored, mildly intelligent people.
  5. I'll presume to append this to @closetojumping 's admonishment: In the case of jokes, they must be at least mildly funny. Making a joke is not necessarily being funny. If a person races to be the first one to post the obvious joke, that person might consider that the line is tired. For example: Can he block? Repeating puns. The John Belushi "Hey!" gif.
  6. Recall the unspeakable arrogance and entitlement of t.u. Aggies are earthy men of the land and never, ever haughty. Tech will never be the blue blood that Texas A&M University home of the Fightin' Texas Aggies from Texas has become. No one dares call A&M a ... fraud. But, Tech? I dare say! Now do you recognize our ascendancy, sir? I wear a real conference cloak upon my shoulders. Unlike yours, it is warming when I want to keep out the cold realities! In the modern era, after A&M narrowly avoided the death penalty, Tech is 11-6 against A&M. Regarding the way too early poll (Texas #2): Two old Aggie saws: ESPN floats t.u. and other teams never improve over the off-season. Add the usual limp grasp on perspective. Their "season before" ended with a two-score loss to this fraud Texas team and humiliation at the hands of Miami, yet they're number 10. Head scratchers: Who knows if his 'understanding' is correct, but he's right that we'll never catch them (ever!) in SEC wins. I'm sure the same goes for the Mississippi schools and Vanderbilt. We may as well close down the football program.
  7. Absolutely! I assume, like the brilliant plan for Venzuela, tax money to the tune of more than a hundred billion dollars would have to go to the effort. So, the rich get to pick our pockets and dear leader collects huge graft. I think his goal is to be the richest man in the world. Even an indebted USA is a pretty rich till to drive into bankruptcy and abandon.
  8. I prefer the myth. However, the only way to make Indiana a contender was to do just that. I like the low star rated players forming a cohesive team that was a pleasure to watch. I don't consult the rosters of many other teams so much, I care about the Longhorns. I suspect my sentiments apply to other fan bases, but maybe not. How would I know? And, the point is largely moot. It will never be the same, but it could still be good. Just have to wait and see, my friend.
  9. Expected response. I loved the play, too. Things have changed since then and continue to change. Your response is the NFL viewpoint, so you'll love free agents flooding in every year. You get what you wanted. I likely won't. eta @JBJ deftly illustrates what I'm talking about: I'm talking about the emotional feel of the college game. The emotional connection to players that is different than the NFL. It's why I watch only the college game now. I'm almost grateful to the Texans for not drafting Vince. That might have pulled me back in because of the connection to him.
  10. I was talking about where we're headed. I love the Indiana story and enjoyed the hell out of the game. New names appearing in the playoffs is one of the benefits of NIL to date. I'd be delighted to be wrong. As @closetojumping noted, it's fascinating to be in a situation so chaotic and fluid. I don't think schools and coaches are happy dealing with the annual free agency which is growing. Maybe lessons will be learned about the downside of entering the portal: you might end up worse off. Now that I think about it, maybe players will value what they have where they are and become part of team that remains largely intact from season to season. I have no idea. Change had to come, such chaos did not.
  11. As with the oil in Venezuela only compounded, getting at Greenland's ores and rare earths would come at almost unimaginable cost. Greenland has no infrastructure; there aren't even roads. I think the moron in charge just thinks "let's seize valuable properties and develop them" with no notion of what it will take. America tamely watches, or some of them do.
  12. The lack of forethought in transitioning to NIL money which is transitioning to a mini-NFL has been devastating for fans only of college ball. I think NFL aficionados love that it's going to that model. I will miss the connection to players who chose Texas for many of the same reasons I did. And, same as me, it became part of their identity. A writer years ago noted that as pro teams constantly shuffle players, the fans are essentially rooting for jerseys. It's coming, the dream of making college ball the NFL. My interest will wane at the rate that starting players don't really give that much of a shit about Texas. I'll find it difficult to give much of shit about them. An NC will not feel the same as 2005 with a team we all watched grow on campus. Hook 'Em!
  13. Delay. Delay. Delay. If they can get this on the path to the (bought, soulless) Trump Supreme Court, more time for them. Trump fights hundreds of losing rearguard battles exhausting his pursuers. I'm not the mighty creature that I was, but I could still cuff the Dotard around and enjoy the snivelling. This guy, Jennings? He'd win the fight, but I would enjoy seeing that he got scratched up doing it.
  14. That still sounds slightly obscene to me even after all these years. Letterman used to regularly say: The Washington post polled 10,000 people, and we all know how painful that can be. Seems to fit this, too.
  15. Fair and balanced. Whiny and balanced: I dislike whining about seed. It's a tournament. All that matters is who wins the whole thing not praying for a game against James Madison so you can claim a shitty early victory before being skull fucked by a team that's actually good. Pitiful. However, an early tournament win against anybody would make them genuinely feel like they're better than t.u. Last guy is funny. I do not see an AgTag. 2%er.
  16. Isn't that the point? Do something everybody else can't thus being a big deal? Nobody said they were. They were shit at football. Cignetti seems to have reset the formula for selecting players. He formed them into an excellent team. They won 16 fucking games.
  17. Those banners are killing me. 1 I didn't like the name goons where one of our teams wanted to use it. I think it was one of our good DLs since 2010. 2 They're adopting it for a line that was shown up versus Texas (mediocre t.u.) and Miami (greatest loss in a long tradition of same). 3 And lastly,
  18. Only my friends and decent human beings may call me Jonas. Enclosed please find my response. Fight them? He is them. His rise will bring the controls back to the GOP.
