The hatred is so bad for some of those aggy's that they can't figure out that we're a good team. It's like bad-mouthing you exe's new boy friend who's better looking, makes more money and likes puppies.

As an engineering school, they should appreciate the exquisite symmetry of losing their last game to us in the Big XII and their first game to us in the SEC.

More correctly, "As an engineering school for those who cannot get into Texas much less the Texas' Engineering School,".

Many years ago*, I was suffering through a church sermon in which the preacher was getting Steve McQueen mixed up with Paul Newman … he was talking about the scene in Cool Hand Luke in which Luke is praying to the Lord in a rather snarky manner … after the 3rd Steve McQueen reference I wanted to jump up and yell “IT WASN’T STEVE MCQUEEN YOU NINNY IT WAS PAUL NEWMAN!!!” But instead I took some deep breaths and did my Zen thing. I don’t know what the rest of the sermon was about because all I could think about from that point forward was the interchangeability of McQueen and Newman movie roles. McQueen in Cool Hand Luke? Yeah, that could work. I could see him roaring out of the work camp on a motorcycle, easily. Newman in The Great Escape? Oh hell yes, and possibly better than McQueen in that role. Then I got to thinking of the camp Kommandant getting so vexed with Capt. Hilts that he’s chewing him out and inadvertently switches into German, which causes the Newman version of Hilts to grin and face the camera and say “What we have here is failure to communicate.” At that point I was really struggling to stifle my giggles, much to my wife’s non-amusement. So I started thinking of Apollo 13 with the cast of City Slickers. Imagine Billy Crystal as Jim Lovell and Jack Freaking Palance as Gene Kranz. I would pay to see that. (And with the technical marvel of AI, it would be possible to do this.)

*With the thread officially derailed, I’m taking the ball and running with it.

You have more mental patience than me.
