Roma, how can you be so cold? Yep, pretty deep friendship.

image.png.b3fb4597de6672fa1d1b061173ce7efa.png

Beginning of a deep relationship. Still the first meeting:

image.png.cb80513d9eb0da91f7973976fc84f516.png

You know, deep stuff. Continuing, we see that this isn't just a routine visit with a car salesman.

image.png.fabd073752de3381d2f8ae8c9ba2a2c4.png

I got sorta choked up here. So much must transpire after this first meeting. Fishing trips. Bowling. Long nights musing and laughing. I read on. Our scribe friend writes on:

Text messages! For years! We're talking real bonding. They live two hours apart, an insurmountable distance for personal contact! Still, people can have very meaningful contact via the written word. Olin is a writer, after all.

Let's see how it goes:

image.png.ad763cac7396b2ccbcc00dfb336f3667.png

 

And you never intitiated these text exchanges, Olin. You're busy in College Station. He's busy in Hutto. Busy. Tragic news is to come. Olin's deep friendship with Chad is evident in how Olin learns the sad truth.

image.png.318ed57bdd30fed8dd230cb5f6d6d433.png

Doesn't get much more involved and personal than that with a "life long friend."

 

Of course, Olin mustered the same gumption that got him to Schlossnagel's t.u. press conference to drive the two hours to his dear friend's bedside.

image.png.e64ef57a93da7be3a5408320f472e4b7.png

The note about the dominos game with his wife is a nice pitch-perfect non-trivialization of receiving the dire news. A guy I don't know messaged me that a car salesman I met six years ago and hadn't seen since had died a day and a half before. You were clearly as dear to Chad as he was to you, Olin.

Surely, Olin now goes to see Chad in his final repose.

Welll, maybe not:

image.png.c1eb0303298a08c4aa8ab6b593b0b5ed.png

 

Still, Olin has all those fond memories of the truck salesman in whose presence he was only in once.

We'll always have Paris, Chad.

I know Bobby made a nice egg from Rivals/247/On3, but who’s bank rolling OTF? I know most of the guys have day jobs but, I assume Gerry and CJ are full time. Are they already self sustaining from subs and ads or do they have a backer?

I imagine the ads pay for most of it. Plus subs to OTF. They have a ton of ad reads, as well as ads before the show comes on.

He wrote a love letter to a Facebook acquaintance…. I just love the tag line starting with “A Lifelong friend” and the first line of the article starts with “a little over 6 years ago” lolol Olin Buchanan being 6 years old would explain most of his writing. I’m just glad we have a video recording of that meeting in the Hutto Chevy Dealership

They don't. Not a chance they need that head count to run that shit. I would walk through that office like Ari Gold with a paintball gun. They have fucking 4! customer support people on staff, AI or a bangaledsh call center would more than suffice at 1/20th of the cost

What you're failing to consider is that all 4 customer support people are pretty female current undergrad students and this is Billy Liuici we're talking about here. 

Of the paid staff, I counted around 12 that are current undergrad students at A&M and another 8 or so that graduated within the last three years. I doubt he's paying the current college students much more than minimum wage. That's about $15k per year. The recent college graduates probably get paid something that is considered competitive for a fresh college graduate (teachers on average in Texas get paid less than $60k / year).

What a worthless, self-serving piece of writing. "Chad was an ineffective car salesman who thought me and Billy were cool dudes in a sad hanger-on kind of way. Anyway he died."

The dominos thing is the most tangible proof yet Olin did really marry a Latina, though.

20 years ago, for Aggie schadenfreude, I skipped past TexAgs to go right to AgTimes.com, for the hard stuff. There was a poster there who would go to some chicken wing place in CS every week, to be at the live taping of some local radio show called something like the “Belliucci Hour” (sadly, Agrimes is defunct, so I can’t find the right name), and relate inside team tidbits and provide “analysis”. Evidently, young Liucci teamed with some other guy with a name like Beliota(?) for weekly program insights. (Where is “Beliota” now? The College Station equivalent of wherever Ryan Secrest’s co-host from the first season of “American Idol”, I suppose). 
 
The point is- the guy has spent a ridiculous amount of his life sniffing jocks and describing the smell to hayseeds for pay. It’s a choice, I guess.

During a press availability Wednesday, junior defensive tackle DJ Hicks was asked about how the defensive line will replace three potential NFL draft picks and what fans can expect from the unit in the future. Hicks responded, in part, saying the unit’s motto is “C.B.O.”

In a follow-up question asking what “C.B.O.” stood for, Hicks said, “In simple terms, choke a woman out. Let’s say that.”

 

Saying the word Bitch is 10,000% better than trying not to cuss and actually saying what Hicks said. They would be undisputed champions of stepping on your own dicks for no reason was a sport.

Edited by Not a Sock

Choked Like a Bitch would seem better considering the finish to their oh-so-close SEC championship game appearance last year.

Besides mysogyny,  the Ags are more psuedo thug than thug for that motto.

So the entire story is about how he went to this car salesman in Hutto who clearly had mouths to feed, wasted his entire afternoon, and didn't ever buy a car from him.

Then later when this guy began reaching out to him, he routinely left the text conversation on read.

And then the dude died.

Most people, I think, would test drive locally and then price shop online and only make that 2 hour drive if the hutto dealer (Chad) gave him the best price on the spec’d truck.

Yeah at first I was amused that Sark embraced FAFO and Saban allowed LANK, but Elko was going to crack down on CBO

Then I saw how Hicks explained it and lmfao. Gameday came up with naysayer for LANK but the best you can do is express violence against women? Just say choke an enemy/opponent/dog out.

Also Elko’s reaction when the reporter gives him Hicks’ quote is hilarious

It was the power of advertising on an elite platform that swayed Olin to check out the deal in person.

1) It's concerning that, in Hick's mind, a direct synonym for the word bitch is "woman". I didn't realize that our resident incel, BO&W, play interior DL for ATM.

Local high school coaches are taught PR framework for public/media speaking purposes. Is this new information for you guys? Irrespective of their personal views, they know how to handle a microphone, normally. Coach's kids are expected to know better than the average kid regarding many facets of the game, hence that attribute being valued in recruiting evaluations. But let's not let that interrupt a good honking session around how fucking dumb and animalistic high school coaches are.

I think I'll just leave it on the other board.
