Quote Of The Day
-
“And Georgia fans, don’t be turds. Enjoy this. Soak it up. It’s awesome. If you don’t win this year, it’s still not a failure. It’s a heck of a run. Back-to-back in the Playoff era hasn’t been done. So, to ask for a third I feel like it’s gluttonous. I feel like it’s not OK. But we’ll be in the mix.”-- David Pollack, On3.com, 5/9/23

Oh happy days! A new post from the Senator! Glad you’re on the mend.
As for the subject post, I can’t believe those two ego maniacs will get along for long. They better win right out of the gate because if they don’t, Jimbo will be throwing Bobby under the bus as fast as he can. I can’t wait to see what happens when they struggle to score 20 in a loss against a mediocre opponent.

I’d love to see Petrino finally “done” at the highest level. But I’m not holding out hope this go round. He’s kicked ass calling plays at every single stop, and A&M has better talent than he’s ever had before.
They’re most likely going to have some major success… if Jimbo can swallow his pride and get out of Petrino’s way.

As for Petrino/Jimbo, I think if Jimbo really lets Petrino run the offense and design the plays, A&M will be much improved. The problem (for A&M) is that he likely won’t.

Welcome back, Senator! To say you’ve been missed is an understatement! You’ve been a part of all our lives for so long it was a shock to our systems when you weren’t there as you have been. I’m glad you’re feeling better. I hope you continue to recover from whatever it was that had you down, but not out!
As for Jimbo and Bobby P, this is going to be the greatest slow-motion train wreck in CFB history and we’re all going to see it play out live and in color in 2023. Sometimes, the CFB Gods truly love us. I almost feel bad for the TAMU fans.

Bobby Petrino is a gutless, lying, self-centered, selfish son of a bitch who’d step over his mother’s body to fulfill his desires. That Jimbo would hire him is all you need to know what type of person he is. It’s an indictment of Texas A&M that those two are the faces of their football program. Their only real success has come from “generational” QBs. That they’re just another couple of once above average OC’s so far in over their heads that all the cash available from the oil men won’t buy them a viable program is obvious to everyone but the oilman cult. It’s understandable of the oilmen as they’re Texans. You can always tell a Texan, you just can’t tell him much. They’re going to fuck around and find out.
It’s sad that if those two somehow avoid a Viking blood eagle from the other and win championships again they’ll be lauded and eventually shown the same respect as Petrino’s brother in verity, Saban.
Thanks for the new post, Bluto. I don’t get this type of thought provoking content from DawgNation or SDS.

Also, I just pulled up A&M’s schedule to see if I could predict the day that this hastily arranged marriage between Jimbo and Petrino is going to fall apart, and man the Ags have it almost as easy as we do. It’s as easy as an SEC West schedule possibly can be. They only play four road games all year, one of which is at Miami in one of the more tame road environments you’ll ever see. They get Alabama at home. They do have to go to Tennessee and LSU, but man… this stacks up well for them.

Picturing those two Weasels in the same room sent me searching – this what I found – may it prove to be true.
From Wiki
“In Japan, weasels (鼬、鼬鼠, itachi) were seen as yōkai (causing strange occurrences). According to the encyclopedia Wakan Sansai Zue from the Edo period, a pack of weasels would cause conflagrations, and the cry of a weasel was considered a harbinger of misfortune. In the Niigata Prefecture, the sound of a pack of weasels making a rustle resembled six people hulling rice, so was called the “weasel’s six-person mortar”, and it was an omen for one’s home to decline. It is said that when people chase after this sound, the sound stops.”
