I bet ole Randy is yanking it so hard to this thread

Well, that link leads to nothing except Stanford. Nice try; got anything else?...Probably not.
And if you had refutable, linkable evidence, I would think it would be appreciated on the Shag.
Try it.

Yes, the guy is a tad bit preoccupied with discrediting some **** lore, but he provides links to his research/claims. If you guys can prove otherwise, then do so with your own links instead of just claiming he's making this stuff up---and fish camp doesn't count, BTW. Otherwise, perhaps maybe you people need to re-think your group-think. (The attempts last year by some of your more notable contributors weren't met with much success, it seems, but I'm sure RD would welcome picking their arguments apart once again.)
Just sayin...now, let me have it.....

I'm sensing you're not a blind follower and you see the truth beyond the hype. Good for you. You can still celebrate a "symbolic" tradition without having to defend a non-existent literal version of the event. RD is just pointing out the difference (albeit obsessively) but it makes some of your ilk very uncomfortable; i.e., crazy.
quote:Go back and reread his 300,000 words of diatribe, then, dumb ****.
I don't recall RD "revelling" in bonfire jokes; maybe I'm wrong. I do recall him blaming the a&m administration for lack of oversight/control/responsibility. I agree with that.
What, exactly, leads you to believe I'd think 12 deaths would be "hilarious"? Back it up.
quote:Sweetheart, RD has three main assertions in regards to the 12th Man

I happen to have a 1924 Battalion hanging on my wall. It's from October 22, 1924.
Here is the front page. We were playing SMU that weekend.
Here is part of the article that talks about the game and bringing the twelfth man. It gets more in depth about the twelfth man being loud, but that part has some damage to it.

My understanding of RD's argument is not that Gill wasn't called down to suit up. His argument is that the "glorification" and subsequent "Aggie12th Man tradition" came after a 1939 radio broadcast featuring Gill, and then wasn't even touted openly as a "tradition" until the early 80s. Someone even provided him last week with a newspaper clip where Gill himself pretty much confirmed it was no big deal at the time.
quote:You can either a) address the photographic evidence posted above kicking RD in the nuts, b) silently STFU and GTFO because you're a ***** , or c) just admit that he's a ****ing lunatic with no life who just likes to pull stuff out of his *** almost as much as he likes to put stuff in it.

Like I said, there's a difference in a symbolic version of events and a literal one. IMO he's just pointing that out and it's disturbing to many of you. Accept the reality and enjoy the symbolism---what's the problem?
quote:Whatever? Yes you clearly don't care.
Nope. The "12th Man" term was in use way before a&m used it; that's pretty much acknowledged by everyone, even your own. The question RD poses is whether Gill was heralded in 1922 and thereafter as "THE 12th Man" of **** tradition today. I have to agree that he wasn't at that time, not until many years later. What's wrong in admitting it was romantized to add to your "traditions" after the fact?
Really, whatever.....
quote:So your position is that the tradition itself wasn't "heralded" in the same way as it is today until later? Don't all traditions grow over time? If something happened last ****ing week, of course people aren't going to look back at it with the same romantic viewpoint that they would if it happened a century ago, you ****ing idiot. Who cares? Name ANY school where that isn't EXACTLY the same. You think Notre Dame painted the helmets gold one year and treated it as sacred lore the next? No, you dip****.

quote:So if the YEAR 1 numbers aren't what Clay Travis said they'd be in Year 3 or 4...after startup costs which IN EVERY BUSINESS lower the take in the initial years.....will Randy be "right" to you?
Oh, and BTW, regarding his "failed debunking of sec network revenue projections"---I guess we'll see how that pans out realistically in a week or so. I'm curious myself.
quote:We will see what we will make in year 3 a week from now? Sweet Krishna you are stupid. Why don't you try thinking on your own, Cow?
