Area man has ongoing dispute with reality.

Posted by Doperbo on August 31st, 2008 under Football

You may have noticed by now that the Fightin’ Texas Aggies, led by the scrappiest Fightin’ Texas Aggie quarterback since Bucky By God Richardson no less, fell a little short yesterday in their home opener against Arkansas State. As fellow compadres in the Big 12 we at the Carnival have quite a bit of sympathy, nay, even empathy, for our fallen Ag comrades. This is a tough time for us all. I mean we’ve never lost to Arkie St. or anything, but we sort of know how that must feel. Probably. Maybe there was that time in Jr. High when the slow fat kid with grease stained pockets from sequestered french fries nailed you in dodgeball, or that time you were showing off rail grinds on the cafeteria steps and nailed your junk just in time for a bunch of girls to laugh and step over you while you were writhing around on the ground. Maybe your dad took you snipe hunting one time. Of course you were seven, and these are quasi-adults we’re talking about, but we’ve all been there. We’ve all played the fool. I really feel now is the time for us to reach out to our Ag friends and help them. They need us right now, and one of them needs us now more than ever. You know who I’m talking about.

Seriously, you would have to be the fan of a GIANT LOSER of a program if you allowed Arkansas State anywhere near you on your home field score-wise. I can’t even imagine what kind of enormous state university would have such an overrated P.O.S. program as to let these guys from a backwoods high school play you close. We have new schemes on offense AND defense, but I am not worried in the least, because our walkons could beat these guys.

Everything is going to be okay Brandi, and we’re all pulling for you. You just keep on being you, and forget all the naysayers. You’re good enough, and smart enough, and doggone it, people like you. Most of those people happen to be longhorn fans, but even so rest assured you’ve got someone in your corner. You’ll pull through this and by midseason you’ll be predicting a win over Oklahoma and all this will seem a distant memory, mainly because huffing targets those areas of the brain specifically, but that’s beside the point right now. Let’s focus on the positive.

You know, when life gets me down, I like to turn to a little something from the Main Ingredient. Oh yeah, you know the tune. Works every time. We just wanted to let you know we’re pulling for you man, keep your chin up.

    Blow out losses to Miami and Cal on national TV… then this shit. What an embarassment to our conference and Texas high school football.

    I read one comment from an Aggie over there today that basically indicated he was confused because ESPN wasn’t covering this game as if it were a gigantic upset, and that it almost seemed as if ESPN no longer considers A&M one of the 1 or 2 best programs in Texas.

    Imagine how confused he is going to be after Sherm leads his Fightin’ Texas Aggies to a loss to Baylor. It’s coming.

    Texas a&m lost to Arkansas Fucking State and it wasn’t even mentioned on ESPN.

    Congrats aggy, you are completely irrelevant. Did I misspell irrelevant? Don’t care, blaming the vodka.

    i just saw you risked $400 to win $800. That’ll buy a lot of diapers. Congrats.

    No problem. I do futures all the time so I have obsessed over that decision many times. Letting $100 25-1 odds ride as long as you can is much more intense.

    We need to get some more betting previews going here for the tourney. We can link to marchtomarch.com or whatever.

    You guys got absloutely screwed. Toughest bracket by far. Even Lehigh is the toughest 16 seed. The committee did you zero favors.

    Mike Iupati will get taken by the Cowboys if he’s on the board. I wouldn’t hate a Golden Tate pick, but we have much bigger needs along the OL and secondary rather than getting another WR. We already have a ton of money tied up in the position (when we pay Austin).

    Wow, louisville as a 9 will give Duke all they want in the second round.

    Siena will beat Purdue. Bank it. They probably win their next game.

    Don’t listen to Seth Davis, Texas is a shell and Wisconsin is over seeded as a four. Kentucky will run them out of he gym. Kentucky walks to elite 8 where WVU will have something for them.

    In the West, Syracuse has a walk to the sweet sixteen, but Butler can give them problems.

    Syracuse gets KSU as their two so it looks like either Kentucky or Duke is stuck with WVU. Tough break. Pitt as a three is a joke. If I’m Self I’m really pissed now. KU

    For my money the race for Player of the Year isn’t all that close. Sorry John Wall. My apologies Wes Johnson. Evan Turner is the most dynamic and talented player in the college game today. He’s built like a hybrid wing, handles like point guard, and shoots it like a sniper.
