At this point, I think it is obvious the there was just so much hype based on his last name and not based on his talent. I’ll bet if his name was Smith or Sapperstein, we wouldn’t even be talking about him. He would just be another so-so college quarterback. Or he may prove me wrong and finish the season on fire and win the Heisman. Who knows?
3rd Saturday in October! Our first game with one of our historical rivals. I hope we’re smoking cigars Saturday night.
Pretty unusual for a coach to come out and take a shot at one of his teams fansites. But Mike Elko went there after the loss this past Saturday. He of course has backed down on his comments. Texas A&M coach Mike Elko expressed regret Monday for his comments after losing to Missouri in which he referred to the website TexAgs and a portion of the Aggies' fanbase as a "cesspool." After the Aggies dropped to 3-3 on Saturday with a 27-6 defeat at No. 14 Missouri, Elko was asked what his message would be to Texas A&M fans who might be worried. He said there is a difference between the fanbase and social media, with a nod to Billy Liucci, the executive editor and co-owner of TexAgs. "There's one group that I really don't care much about. Billy's cesspool can go be Billy's cesspool," Elko said. "Our fanbase: Stay with us, be behind us, we're going to build something that we told you we were going to build. We're in a really bad spot right now, but we'll work our way out of it." On Monday, with Liucci in attendance at his weekly news conference, Elko said the viral comment was made in the heat of the moment and came across in a "way that I certainly regret."
I'm away from it, but almost every Aggie knows the "cesspool" Elko is referring to, and honestly he's being kind. Texags started way back in the late 90's and it was a fun site... but the creator sold it, and it quickly degenerated into a whiners paradise, and a lot of fans went elsewhere. Liucci built it into an impressive media company, but it is still full of bitter losers who would complain about the rope you hung them with...
Can't tell you the last time I had to wait till 2200 hrs for a kickoff for a NU game. Probably should get advice from the senior old farts on this board how to manage that huh?
Your dachshunds and you should consider a late afternoon nap. A big meal before the nap should make you sleepy. I am sure the dogs already sleep 17-20 hours a day so no special instructions for them. Don’s recommendation to set an alarm is a solid one.
Great Idea Bobda...but Frankie and Gracie require 10 working days notice before any sleep schedules are changed.
Yes Bobda...those are my Dachsunds, on THEIR bed, with their own personal heating pads. My version of Phillips 66 U-Stop Roller Grill Dogs...
