  1. They actually won the 2025 National Poultry Judging Championship recently ... no kidding. Here's part of the photo of the champs from TexAgs (too big to screen grab fully)
  2. Works for me ... pretty cool
  3. I wish they would scratch Arch from all the 2026 mocks, but definitely not going to happen. And CONGRATULATIONS to Texas A&M as two more members of "The Greatest Recruiting Class Ever" in 2023 go in the first round, doubling the count from their junior year. Of course, those two are no longer Aggies (LT Overton at Bama and Longhorn buddy Evan Stewart at Oregon), but still, kudos to Jimbo for recognizing their 5* talents. Too bad they had to leave College Station to blossom.
  4. Just saw this thread about the tweet on TexAgs - https://texags.com/forums/8/topics/3540169 They are complaining about it too (here's the start of the thread) - "Fat Bottom Squirrels" has the best answer, IMHO "Nothing we can do about it other than bend over and take it. We had an opportunity this weekend to take back some pride and fell directly on our faces. Like we literally always do."
  5. That's the Texas' coach's son. When we stole his dad from the Aggies last year their fanbase made a lot of noise about taking names and kicking Texas ass, like "write it down - we won't forget this - you'll pay blah blah". He's mocking them is all.
  6. Just went slumming on TexAgs to see how things are going, what with the NFL draft concluding (just one of the fabled 2023 Greatest Class of All Time in the draft as an Aggie, plus the baseball series). Some of them seem to really want to quit following Aggie sports, though they picked an odd metaphor to express it
  7. Good analogy - sometimes you have to hammer on the door a few times to finally smash through but if you're on the doorstep often enough with a battering ram your time should come. Both those coaches won twice, which should be encouraging to Texas (and probably programs like Oregon). I'm old enough to remember when "Clemsoning" was a pejorative adjective/verb/noun for getting close and then choking - right up until they won Dabo's first championship. We are well positioned now with our coaches and players, just need a few breaks with health and big plays at the right time. Fourth and ten forever!!
  8. Seems like a good time to post a link to this ESPN article titled "Jim Schlossnagle is at the center of the Texas-Texas A&M storm" And this is another reason why they hate us so badly - quote from the article when CDC snaked him away from A&M after a meeting at a nearby cemetery - By Tuesday, June 25, Schlossnagle was the new coach at Texas, and Del Conte regaled reporters with his tale of meeting the coach in a cemetery in Snook, Texas, about 12 miles outside of College Station, when the coach returned from Omaha. "I left at the crack of dawn, and I knew I could not be seen anywhere in College Station, so I went to the Snook Cemetery and waited for [Schlossnagle] to get back," Del Conte said. "The Snook Cemetery will go down in history." The timing was stunning. For the Longhorns, it was the ultimate power move. For the Aggies, it was the ultimate betrayal.
  9. C maybe but honestly if he played RT in the NFL he would be roadkill and Kyler Murray would be running for his life a lot.
  10. 107 was the total number of players projected as first rounders when you tally up all the mock drafts.
  11. True that. Mel Kiper might never recover from that. The biggest Longhorn OMG moment thus far has been Vernon Broughton selected # 71. CJ Vogel had VB going # 181 so 110 picks or almost 4 rounds later, and the NFL Mock Draft Consensus had VB going # 123 or 52 spots later (almost 2 rounds). Seeing Dillon Gabriel picked ahead of several QBs projected higher was a surprise. Shedeur, Will Howard or Quinn Ewers - who is your pick for next QB off the board?
  12. Cardinals are pretty good at selecting players with injury histories ...
  13. Finally an Arizona native ... from a district adjacent to mine so I followed him a little in high school (Christian Clark is my neighbor). Kids from Shough's high school train at the same gym I go to. I remember him coming out of high school (same class as Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields), I think a two time state champ at Chandler Hamilton and ranked # 1 player in the state. Went to Oregon, backed up Justin Herbert, injured, went to Texas Tech, injured, played well at Louisville. Four (?) college degrees lol. Surprised he was taken this high given his injury history. The shock on Mel's face was worth it I guess (Mel had Shedeur Sanders as the # 1 overall pick). Trivia question - who was the fourth highest rated QB in Arizona in that 2018 class? Anyone know ...
  14. Utah transfer Jack Bouwmeester edit - writing at the same time as CJ lol
  15. Sounds like there are a few teams he doesn't want drafting him, so he's probably acting aloof in those interviews. Here's an example in the tweet, a QB coach from a team drafting in the first 7 spots slagging on him (lot of guys don't want to go to Cleveland or the Jets, just sayin'). This isn't as bad as John Elway snubbing the Colts or Eli Manning's family telling the Chargers not to draft him, but those two had more leverage. Also, Deion rubs a lot of guys the wrong way, just saying ...
