I THOUGHT I heard the clicking of a couple of stainless steel ball bearings rolling around in somebody's hand.
Could jump to a school boy joke about hot steel balls and Superman but guess I just gave up the punchline..….
Tech just qualified for the final four, moving ahead of aggy. Poooooooooorrrrrrrrrr aaagggggyyyyyy!!!!!
The fact A&M and Northwestern are the only two left is fantastic. In fairness, Northwestern's most viable way forward to a top 4 finish is football and that's really unlikely. Of the two, A&M is more likely to finally break through. That said... I still would not bet on A&M to break through.
aggy beat the Horns in baseball last year regular season also; then in the regional toinamint the Horns beat aggy when it really meant something.
Well, as any astute college athletics fan should know, April, September, the years of 1935 to 1939, and 1985 to 1993 are the only years that matter. Whoop. That and whenever meat judging finals lands.
Funny! As I was walking out of the stadium last night Aggy was in full chant mode so I yelled, "It's ok, while we're playing in Omaha you'll be watching us from your mobile homes!". It wasn't clever but it made me feel better.
“There’s no one in the universe that didn’t go to Texas A&M that would say Texas and Texas A&M are on the same level” (the blonde is aggy as you will quickly figure out)
While the B12 vs Aggy or SEC isn’t something I greatly care about, but since aggy cares about it, I care about it. Funny that TT makes final NCAA game and not the SEC. Wait till Texas makes the CFP champ game for them to go apoplectic.
That video is an instant classic! She is exactly what I and everyone else who knows an aggy deals with on a daily basis. They live in their own reality.
Just wow.... Her lame comebacks, unsupported claims, unjustified boasting about aggy so fully encapsulate so many aggys mindsets I have met over the years. It's like arguing with a crazy man or Forrest Gump... it wears you down and you just walk away. The only claim or "fact" she could think of was aggy had more $$$ than UT.... true in her mind just because she said it.
Meh, it was kinda pointless as neither side ever brought up any facts to back up their claim. The guys are like, "they just are", and she is all, "but a$m has more money", whatever that means, and nobody ever gets into any stats. If she would like to talk money, how about we compare the relative value of the two brands?
The most basic thing one might argue: I browsed and found that UT is ranked #6 in all time NCAA National Championships in all Men's & Women's sports (total was 46). The list I saw had 40 programs and aggy was not even listed among the top 40 programs....
I cross-posted this from the Men's Basketball discussion re: rooting for Tech tonight. I think it belongs here. "Here's one way to look at things. We (UT) are the big brother in a dysfunctional family. We have two little brothers (Tech and A&M) along with many cousins, in-laws, and hangers-on. One little brother is a scrappy underdog with lots of fight and spunk who you can usually admire and root for against other teams, and who occasionally rises up and bests his big brother. The other little brother is an ornery little sh!te with a grossly over-inflated view of himself, who boasts and throws insults constantly from his obnoxious loud slobbering mouth. Even after repeated smackdowns he still won't shut up. He really hates both of his brothers, but especially us. He's recently been adopted by a new dysfunctional family. Most of his new 'brothers' beat him up--sometimes mercilessly. Strangely, like a battered wife who stays with her man, he still loves them. Draw your own conclusions as to who is each little brother."
