^ Paragraph 2 - isn't that what I said? He was also tried, apparently, in the District of Columbia from what I read? If so, they don't have the ability to try him at the other level to get around double jeopardy.

He's with Washington now. Where's JaMarcus Russell?

Clemson over Georgia. 8 or 9 pt underdog. Easily can win the game outright.

Touché. I forgot the non-BCS bowl game, Cotton Bowl victory season was one for the ages for the Aggies. Different standards I guess. Although it was impressive coming off a summer where patheticism hit an all time high in Aggieland and two ancient football national championships were found. The good news for Aggies is that there is still one more trophy you can claim after a decade or so of futility. Texas, on the other hand, will leave the 15 football NCs it doesn't claim on the shelves and pursue ones in this century.

"Recent success" - the jokes just write themselves! 😂

I thought I was clear when I referenced last year's incredible 7th place conference finish? You Aggies have trouble keeping up.

Interesting you bracket your statement in the last 5 years. Since the year before Texas was in the bcs championship game. Interesting, yet very predictable. I will use the same argument with aggy but extend my bracket to 75 years. Damn that's sad!

Super fascinating scenario. Since murder is obviously not a "lesser included offense" of attempted murder, prosecution is not barred there. And I would assume murder has at least one additional element that has to be proven that attempted murder does not. Still, I have a hard time having this pass the smell test with me. When the conduct is exactly the same in either charge - and he was found crazy the first time - let it rest IMO.

I will help you out here: [Hidden Content] Just click on any thread with several replies and there is a good chance you will find one. Or just look for a Smitty reference to "low information voters." Pretty blanket statement IMO.

No it wasn't. Reading a challenge for you Tigers?

With that gem of a sentence, no one will doubt you are an lsu fan! 😂

I have everything imaginable. Directv is my favorite toy. Glad to be an SEC contributor!!

UT may be many things, poor isn't one of them. It has a larger endowment than the GSP of the whole state of Lousiana!

Gotta love an article that contradicts itself in a 2 sentence blurb...

  Fair enough.  I was talking about universities overall and not the actual athletes.  We were just on different topics!  :)

  Don't let A&M middle of the pack finishes be your guide.  They were equally mediocre in the Big 12, maybe even more so.  They just went from losing to Texas Tech on a regular basis to losing to LSU on a regular basis...

  Shocking.

  I remember not long ago when A&M was proud of its academics.  The quality education you could receive in College Station was one of its selling points.  Has this unprecedented success, i.e. 7th place conference finishes, in football gone to your heads and made you change your priorities??

  Wow!! Made Bowl games??  They actually were able to finish 6-6 or better??  Amazing!!!!

  UNC nor UVA will join the SEC for the same reasons Texas won't.  I would be willing to make a sizable bet on that.  (2 more of the Public Ivies.)

  That looks much better.  A&M and Missouri leaving for the SEC actually boosted the SEC rankings and hurt the Big 12 (especially adding WVU).  The Big 12 was formed by geography.  When the move is made, UT will join the ACC, Big 10, or Pac 10, all of whom are very sound academic conferences that don't have the stigma of the SEC (see SWC of the 70s and 80s).   Edit - By the way, I don't have a problem with Time Magazine.  It was just that article could not have meant what you thought it did (or appeared to have thought it did).  If they want to rank the universities, I would think they could do it justice.  I would also assume Northern Illinois would not rank No. 2.

And if you believe the conference can not be brokered out of existence before 2025, I have a LOT of stuff I would like to sell you.  A LOT.

  Did you actually read the article?  Or is reading comprehension not your friend?  Hard to tell with you aggies... 

  Of course you do.  It is the one conference in the country where the mediocre programs like Ole Miss, Miss St, Vanderbilt, and now A&M find it acceptable and not laughable to claim the championships of its league opponents.  We would have let you guys do that in '05 if you hadn't been too proud!

  You should favor that approach.  A&M (unless piggybacking the accomplishments of programs who have won a championship in the last 75 years) is much better off with an academic evaluation than a football evaluation.
