Can we not use the R word, please. Too much history with that word.

Cruz is about one of 2-3 true constitutionalists that are actually in congress.
Trump did trump things and dogged him. Trumps following has to be respected if you’re a conservative whether you like them or not.

So be it. My politics are anything but, however if I'm labeled "Woke" over that request, I'll wear it as a badge of honor for what he means to me. My little man isn't even 2 yet, but I will advocate for him his/my entire life. Part of ...

And to answer the question... still don't know.
A&M sat in 3 down bringing at most an extra linebacker against Tyler Van Dyke and Miami. The Canes have a good to very good line and handled it well. TVD had time to throw all game and hit his passes.
In the past 2 games, albeit against poorer ...

Posted by shanklin12 on 6/27/23 at 1:56 pm
You really have to include Bryan as well if talking about College Station. It is very much BCS more than just one of the other.
Restaurant scene has gotten better over time. Still a ton of chains but some actual nicer standalones have come along and upped things several notches.

re: Since football season has returned early, here's a refutation of 5 of Bama's title claims

I guess since we are on the topic of erroneously claiming stuff, I thought I'd bring my expertise as an Aggie. We've been doing this for decades!
Flat out, AP should be the only answer... but if 2 or more other publications give it to you, are you supposed to turn it down? I guess in Bama's sit...

I only take I-10 going to and from Fort Morgan, so maybe you all can answer this. Why is there always a slow down when you are headed east right before the Mississippi River bridge in BR? Rain/no rain, any time of day, it always seems to take 30 minutes to get from Gross Tete to 12....
