When was the last time two teams played each other, in a non end of season game, then both fired their coach afterwards? Gotta figure that’s not common.

Problem is, Lanning (if he’s the guy) would probably require one of those insane fully guaranteed contracts. I’ve seen some ridiculous names thrown around today. Deion. Kiffin. Swinney. Meyer. Kingsbury. Dan Campbell.

They’re PAC-2 bound. Part of me wonders if the timing of the Fisher firing is Michigan related. Maybe the BOR guessed Harbaugh is gone to the NFL, and landing your preferred target is a lot easier if Michigan isn’t also in the picture for him.

I’d be shocked if it’s traylor. Figure they’ll go after one or both of the other two, or Elko. Shoulda let Jimbo walk to LSU two years ago and kept Elko then. Would’ve lost a few from THE GREATEST CLASS EVER~!, but the list would’ve overlapped pretty close with the ones that have already been run off or transferred.

I didn’t know I needed to see that till I read your post.

What a weird time to do it. I can only guess they were in a rush to snap up whoever we’re gonna money whip next before somebody else did. If not, why not wait till we lose to LSU to do this? Goodbye to Jimbo and the worst collection of former HCs on the planet - Petrino, Addazio and Durkin. Keep Elijah Robinson please. The rest can go. now I gotta go to Mass and fight the temptation to keep looking at my phone the whole time

Wife's aunt died yesterday. Honestly glad she's at peace now. Wife and I volunteered in dementia wards for years, and I'm not sure I've seen a worse case. So now I get to deal with my wife's family. I can just about handle my inlaws. They're the sanest of the bunch. I just have to protect my wife from their low grade insanity, which never comes out if I'm around. I've had 25 years of practice at that. And at least I won't (I think) have to deal with the worst of her family. The thieving bastards' (like steal a relative's life savings level of thieving) and gang members probably won't make an appearance, since they'd actually have to spend money to get there. (I had to stand in as a pallbearer at her grandfather's funeral after one of her cousins went on the run - the police were looking for him over a gang related shooting the day before the funeral.) So this time I get to deal with the medium grade level assholes. My wife's jackass uncle who lives in a $5 million house, but didn't want to spend money on a funeral, despite his wife's very clear wishes. The cousin and her POS husband who couldn't possibly help with any of this shit for her mom, despite their supposedly endless wealth and lack of any real responsibilities.

I've spent all my spare time this week dealing with 18 months of my father's unread email, unsubscribing him from mailing lists and deleting thousands of conspiracy theory emails. I didn't expect the craziest thing I read all week to be on the weekly CFB thread here.

I'm just gonna go ahead and assume that SEC Shorts' dramatization of how this went down is 100% correct.

When I was in grad school at Texas (late 90s), I walked out of the ENS building one November afternoon and wondered where all the yelling I heard was coming from. Then I heard the Aggie War Hymn fire up. It was loud as hell where I was, two thirds of the way across campus.

Forget about national championships. A&M has only had three years that would generally be considered "good" since I graduated 29 years ago. - 98, last conference championship won, with the out of nowhere win over undefeated K State - 2012, 11-2, Manziel's Heisman year - 2020, 9-1 in the Covid year

Back to coaching my sons baseball team again. I’ve had to tell the kids a lot of stuff over the last four years. But I’d never had to say “stop humping that sycamore tree”. At least I hadn’t had to do that before last night.

Conner Weigman is out for the season after breaking something in his foot/ankle. If you're counting, that makes three years in a row that A&M has lost its starting QB for most of the year. Please excuse me, I'm off to make a voodoo doll of Steve Addazio.

The one nice thing about not having a break from 8 to 6 today is at least I can’t make myself suffer through watching that game.

So not having seen what happened to Chubb, and having no desire to do so, how catastrophic was this? Marcus Latimore catastrophic?

GTA 5 turns 10 years old this weekend. Somehow 5 is older now than San Andreas was when 5 came out.

Forgot to enter, which means I got exactly the same number of correct picks as last year.

Gonna have to jack to price of gas up some more. $77 million fully guaranteed coaches contracts don’t buy themselves out.

That’s the first I’d heard of there being NG+. Bethesda does know nobody ever actually finishes their games, don’t they?

Still on Xbox and still the same ID. Not sure what’s up. Possible I set it to offline when I was down with Covid a couple weeks ago. I noticed a few weeks ago that you’re not on my friends list anymore. No clue why. I uninstalled yesterday in a fit of pique. My play through was fucked badly enough (330k bounty on whatever that first planet is called) that I didn’t care enough to figure out how to un-fuck it. I’ll reinstall when I’m not pissed off at the world. Right now there’s so much I don’t like about the game that I don’t need it around.

So far, nothing has I’ve seen is gripping me. By the time I made it to whatever the the first populated planet is called, I just started shooting at civilians out of annoyance. Not sure if the problem is the game or me and the immensely shitty week I’ve had Maybe it’s both of us I’m hoping this turns out like Morrowind did for me, where I despised it at first, but eventually fell in love and played a billion hours of it.

Looks like Denver Harris may have been sent packing by LSU. If so, that will make four players from A&M’s 2022 recruit class that have been kicked off the team they transferred to before the start of the 2023 season. 30 for 30 on that class is gonna be bonkers. (side note - I may have set a board record for worst tense usage there)

So glad to not be there for awhile. I’ve been in Tennessee all week. People here saying it’s hot when it’s 15 degrees hotter at home. Between all the fire warning texts and the news saying it’s gonna get even hotter next week, I don’t wanna go home.

The old record was apparently set the day before. Was helping run my son's baseball practice Tuesday, and it was just brutal. Had one kid go down after about 20 minutes. The rest of em looked pretty pretty rough as well. Today was thankfully cut short by the wild ass thunderstorms that came through Manchaca. Even our dipshit coach seemed to realize that having a bunch of seven and eight year olds standing around in a hailstorm wasn't a great idea.

Gotta find a way to make that next billion, I guess. Figure GTA6 will be pretty much useless without GTA+. That list of removed stuff is crazy. Damn near every car that was around the last time you or JT played this thing got wiped today. Worst of all, the removed the Mini Cooper. Rendering the Nite Shift battle cry "To the Mini Cooper!" obsolete.
