Despite the way the season has gone, there is hope... It's been no secret that the once powerful Texas football program has fallen to what might be its lowest point in the program's history. The Longhorns have gone 1-11 this year and 0-8 in SEC play. Their one win came against FCS Prairie View A&M, and while they might be leading their division in the SWAC currently, they are only 6-5 on the year and not a juggernaut by any means. And it has been a slog to watch this team play as well. They have been shutout in half of their games, and the most points they've scored in a game this year against FBS teams is 12. And the cherry on top of all this is a disastrous 71-0 loss to their in-state rival Texas A&M. But the season is not over for the Longhorns. Despite the way the season has gone, there is hope. This team is NOT eliminated from SEC title contention and can very well clinch the title over the next couple of weeks. This may seem impossible or a gigantic troll post, but I assure you these are actual feasible ways in which the Longhorns can become SEC champions. So......how can they do it? There are 14 teams we need to make ineligible to get Texas in the SEC title game. Let's start at the bottom and work our way up. 15. Florida Gators (3-8, 1-7) - Take the Team to Disney World What better way to distract a team by taking them to the most Magical Place on Earth (TM)? Listen, Florida players may already have tickets to Disney the same weekend as the SECCG. They could've bought those tickets back in week 5 when Tennessee trounced them 62-17. Not to mention, despite blowing out Texas, Florida's only other wins are an FCS SWAC division leader (no not the one I said earlier) and a week 1 win against a ranked Penn State who ended up also being terrible. They also have to play one last game against an 8-2 Florida State team who is still fighting for an outside shot at the playoffs. All of this is to say, these boys are tired. They need some rest and relaxation. And there's no better place to ger some R&R than the place with Mickey Mouse and Tron Bikes. And since it's sooooo expensive to go to Disney World, the Gators would decline any invitation they get to the SECCG and are therefore eliminated. The Longhorns are now in 15th place. TOTAL COST: $109 PER TICKET X 99 ACTIVE PLAYERS = $10,791 (before taxes) 14. Vanderbilt Commodores (3-7, 1-6) - Schedule a Final Exam on SECCG Day Picture taken during the 4th quarter of a close game The Longhorns may not even have to go this far to get Vandy out of title contention. I mean, does anyone reallllly want to see the Commodores play in the title game? This writer surely doesn't. But just to cover all of our bases here, the best solution to distract a NERD school is to make them take an important Final Exam on the Saturday of the game. Because NERDS love to take tests right? Right? Get it? So just, you know, do that. Can't be too hard to bribe a professor of engineering, I mean after all they are probably experienced from working for Boeing. They know when to keep quiet. The Longhorns are now in 14th place. TOTAL COST: ~$1-2K SHOULD GET IT DONE 13. South Carolina Gamecocks (3-8, 2-6) - Start a Huge Brawl at the Palmetto Bowl Shouldn't be too hard actually This article is being written before the 3-8 Gamecocks (hehehe...........game) take on the somehow more terrible 1-10 Clemson Tigers. These two in state rivals do not like each other that much if you can believe it! It basically started because some guy didn't like how South Carolina college was doing their business, so he wanted to start his own using the land he got from a guy named Clemson, but the politicians did not like this guy and it was a drag and blah blah long story short they hate each other now. And particularly in this matchup, neither team has anything to play for so why not let out all of your frustrations on them? Hey Gamecocks, Clemson told me you guys stink like poopy! And Clemson, South Carolina told me you have butts in your brains! That should keep them busy. To stay on top of this we will need to get into players DMs and continue reminding them that the other guy thinks they are trash. Every player will be suspended from this and South Carolina is ineligible. The Longhorns are now in 13th place. TOTAL COST: MESSAGING AND DATA RATES MAY APPLY 12. Missouri Tigers (2-9, 2-5) - Trap Them in Branson Chat is this real? It doesn't get more "tourist trap hellhole" than Branson, Missouri. They have many great attractions like this upside down house or an aquarium with a big octopus in the front or a Ferris wheel or THE FUDGE FACTORY LETS GOOOO!!!! There's lots to "do" in Branson, and it will be way cheaper to keep a football team here than in Disney World. Because of this, we will also need to get with the local law enforcement to create a barrier around the town to ensure nobody can leave. This sounds scary but LOOK AT THE UPSIDE DOWN BUILDING WOW HOW DID THAT GET THERE??? The Longhorns are now in 12th place. TOTAL COST: WHATEVER THE GOING RATE IS FOR BRIBING AN ENTIRE POLICE DEPARTMENT 11. Ole Miss Rebels (4-7, 2-5) - A Never-ending Tailgate Bender Party party party party party If there's one thing I must admit about Ole Miss, it's that they know how to get down on a Saturday. Which makes sense because what the hell else are you going to do in Mississippi. They have one of the best tailgating experiences in the country, and for this plan to work we need to make sure the party never stops. Given the Rebels are 4-7 the fans have plenty of reason to be drinking and trying to forget the season. With the Egg Bowl coming up soon, it will likely be the last game of the season for the Rebels. Which means another 9 months of doing nothing until the next football season starts. So with the help of the Longhorns boosters, we will ensure that the party can go for weeks and weeks. Just enough time to get Ole Miss inebriated enough to miss the SECCG. The Longhorns are now in 11th place. TOTAL COST: $175 PER KEG, 100k EXPECTED ATTENDANCE, EACH FAN GETS 1 KEG = ~$17,500,000 10. Auburn Tigers (4-7, 2-5) - Make the War Eagle Academically Ineligible Turns out General Chemistry was not a blow off class Mr. Eagle! I know Auburn fans mostly won't care about one of their stars failing classes, but you know who does care? The SEC........after we bribe them to care. The symbol of Auburn being taken down due to bad grades would send the program into a spiral, and without the presence of their best player (probably, I mean the actual team is 4-7 so the only reason fans go to games this year is to see the Eagle) the football team would not want to continue their season. And who could blame them? The Eagle was so cool! Why did he have to fail GenChem? The Longhorns are now in 10th place. TOTAL COST: A $1,000,000 CHECK TO THE COMMISH SHOULD GET THIS DONE 9. Arkansas Razorbacks (6-5, 2-5) - Wal-Mart Hostile Takeover Like Succession (I haven't watched Succession) This one might be a bit expensive It's no secret that the only good things to come out of Arkansas are Darren McFadden and Walmart. The state revolves around the Walmart economy, and as such the corporation holds lots of power over things, like a certain college that plays SEC football. The plan is simple: completely overtake the company and then use the power of Walmart to temporarily dismantle the Arkansas football program. We'll be sure to bring the team back in time for their bowl game, however, as somebody needs to play in the Birmingham Bowl or whatever. The Longhorns are now in 9th place. TOTAL COST: A FEW BILLION TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE GETS THIS DONE 8. Alabama Crimson Tide (7-4, 3-4) - Play Every Game from 2007-2022 On Loop Like dangling keys in front of a small child Out of all the possible distractions listed here, this one might be the one that will happen with or without our influence. It's very likely all Bama fans have been deep in their nostalgia bag since the Oklahoma loss. It's hard to care about a mediocre season like this when there's hours and hours of footage of true greatness all on YouTube. An SEC title will not put Bama in the playoffs (probably.......maybe) so why not just give them a nice Coors and an old rocker and put up "Mark Ingram career Highlights #3" on the 55-inch plasma. Let them dream for one more night. The Longhorns are now in 8th place. TOTAL COST: POTENTIALLY NOTHING, THEY ARE PROBABLY ALREADY DOING THIS 7. Georgia Bulldogs (7-4, 6-2) - Buy Everyone a Corvette I mean.....come on Do I even need to explain this one? These Dawgs love speed and speeding and being reckless and other things that are in GTA5. There are some who will say this will lead to innocent bystanders potentially getting hurt, and to that I say....Texas football matters more. Plus by now you should know not to be on any roads in Athens after 5pm. Shoutout to Georgia for beating Tennessee by the way, very nice. You've earned these cars. After the entire team eventually gets arrested for breaking every single road law, the Dawgs will not have a team ready to go to Atlanta. The Longhorns are now in 7th place. TOTAL COST: $70K PER CAR, 104 ACTIVE PLAYERS = $7,280,000 6. Texas A&M Aggies (9-2, 6-1) - Make Them Go Back to the Big XII Just remember the good times, aggies. While the Aggies like to complain about the Longhorns joining the SEC to mess with them, they must not be that bothered by it if they chose to stay anyways, right? And despite only having 1 conference loss, there is a real chance they may not even make the conference title game! But if they were to join the Big XII, and play a slightly easier schedule (they would still have a conference loss to Baylor), maybe they can have enough tiebreaks over TCU to get to the XII title game (and lose to Baylor again). And the best part about the Big XII? Texas isn't there anymore! It's a conference up for grabs (behind Baylor) and A&M can try to take control (of 2nd place......being behind Baylor and all). This move of treason would make them immediately ineligible for the championship game. The Longhorns are now in 6th place. TOTAL COST: APPROXIMATELY $100 MILLLION IN BUYOUT FEES 5. Mississippi State Bulldogs (9-2, 6-1) - Convince Them the Game is in Atlanta, Mississippi Maybe they won't notice? We are back in the state of Mississippi, a state that I wish was 1% as fun as spelling its name. The people of Mississippi, however, have an undying love for their state. They are a proud people. And because of that, they never want to leave. Well, now they don't have to! The SEC has announced that the SECCG will be played in the Bulldogs' backyard, right in Atlanta. Sure, Atlanta, MS might be an unincorporated community with a population of.....0, but that just means there's a lot of empty space to get the field setup AND MORE TAILGAITING!!!! By the time the Bulldogs figure out it is not the correct Atlanta, the title will already be on its way back to Austin. The Longhorns are now in 5th place. TOTAL COST: ONE MISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN ON FACEBOOK (PRACTICALLY FREE) 4. LSU Tigers (9-2, 6-1) - Beignet Overdose We need to be careful not to overdose ourselves because my god they are amazing. What the state of Louisiana lacks in other places, it more than makes up for it with its food. And in this writer's humble opinion no food from this state is tastier than the Beignet. It's a fluffy doughnut type pastry usually dowsed in powdered sugar and can be eaten with a little bit of honey. They are the perfect dish, no imperfections whatsoever. And they make a great bait to distract the state as we pull the SECCG appearance right out from under them. We just have to continue making beignets for the team and never stop until they go into a food coma nirvana. While beignets are delicious, they do kinda immobilize you for several hours in order to digest properly. The Longhorns are now in 4th place. TOTAL COST: ~$8 PER BEIGNET, 10 BEIGNETS FOR A FOOD COMA, 99 ACTIVE PLAYERS = $7,920 3. Tennessee Volunteers (10-1, 6-1) - Leak Images of Brandon Savage Wearing Alabama Gear This might be close enough to get the job done. The Volunteers are true National Title contenders, and they are in this position because Brandon Savage is an outstanding Quarterback. Just last week he went 27/33 for 593 yards and SEVEN touchdowns against OU (nice!). Where he goes, so goes the team. And we just so happen to have sources that suggest Savage's intentions of becoming an Alabama man. Given that the state of Tennessee does not like the state of Alabama in anything besides electoral vote sharing, this rumor will cause a rift to open up in the locker room. Lines in the sand will be drawn and the team will fall apart. Not to mention the boycotting from the fans should this occur. This is too much of a headache for the SEC to deal with and as such they will eliminate the Vols from the title game. The Longhorns are now in 3rd place. TOTAL COST: ADOBE PHOTOSHOP IS $22.99/MONTH 2. Oklahoma Sooners (9-2, 7-1) - Invade Oklahoma States in red are about to be invaded by Texas Texas fans, let's be honest with ourselves: when it comes to taking control of the conference, it's either us or them. And it sure as hell ain't gonna be them. This plan has been in the works of the Texas government for generations, and now they finally have an actual logically sound reason to invade and conquer Oklahoma: because it will benefit Texas football. While the entire state is distracted by Bedlam, the Texas National Guard will secure the border surrounding Oklahoma and close in until they control the Capitol. We will rename this state Texas 2: Electric Boogaloo. There will be no more Oklahoma football. Oklahoma State can stay but they will be renamed Texas 2 State. This is a good plan. The Longhorns are now in 2nd place, which gets them to the SECCG......but we can go even higher. TOTAL COST: POTENTIAL LOSS OF FEDERAL FUNDING 1. Kentucky Wildcats (9-2, 7-1) - Just Beat 'Em The Longhorns CAN beat Kentucky fairly and squarely. The Longhorns have to play in the SECCG to get a chance at the title. Through all of our previous steps, they are in Atlanta to play the Wildcats for the crown. The two teams match up fairly evenly: both have an offense, a defense, and special teams. They both have the proper equipment, they both have knowledge of the game, and most importantly, they both love football. And at the end of the day, isn't what this is all about? And if that doesn't work, and Kentucky wins 79-0, we'll just steal the fucking trophy. TOTAL COST: OUR DIGNITY And that is how Texas still has a chance to win the SEC. Thank you for reading. Hook 'Em.

Wow last week SUCKED but we will REBUILD! Nobody said it would be easy to go into the #1 teams home and come out with a win. In fact, I think we all learned last week that it is very hard to win those type of games. But that's all in the past now. We move on to the next opponent on the schedule, and are prepared to re-build into becoming a strong force in the SEC. How will we re-build? Um.......I don't know. Football is still a very foreign concept to us here in the Battalion. But we do like to do research on these cities where Universities have become a staple to their economy. And so, we move on with our "scouting" report, this week, in an effort to become better than we've ever been. Let's go to Arkansas. Jonesboro, Arkansas So this is where they boro all those Jones' What is a "Jonesboro"? - In a basic sense, a town in Arkansas. In an etymology sense, the land for the county was originally a part of Mississippi before becoming a part of Arkansas. When Craighead County formed from this land, they named the original county seat Jonesborough in honor of State Senator William A. Jones who was the man mostly involved with creating the county. This backstory is so boring I have no choice but to believe this is not what actually happened but it's the only story we could find. Where is this "Jonesboro"? - In a basic sense, Arkansas. In a geographical sense, it is in the Northeast corner of the state of Arkansas. The town is about 80 sq miles. In a latitudinal/longitudinal sense, it sits at 35° 48′ 40″ N, 90° 41′ 49″ W. Why is "Jonesboro" a thing? - In a basic sense, hunting and trading. In a historical sense, after the Louisiana Purchase, settlers moved into the area and began hunting, trapping, exploring, and trading with the local Indian tribes. Eventually Jonesboro became the largest settlement in the area and became the county seat for Craighead. And if you're wondering if it ever became a rail stop, you know the answer is uh yeah of course it did. Fun fact! There were efforts to build a courthouse in town a few years after it was incorporated, however it was delayed for YEARS because the locals did not want to interfere with their hunting seasons. Not long after finishing the first courthouse, it burned in a fire in 1869. So they converted a store across the street into a courthouse...and then that burned in a fire in 1876. So they built another building...and that burned in a fire 2 years later. Who is in "Jonesboro"? - In a basic sense, humans. In a demographical sense, the 2020 census reports that the population of Jonesboro is 78,576, the 5th most populous city in Arkansas. The town is 71% white non-Hispanic, 21% Black or African American non-Hispanic, and 7% Hispanic or Latino. Jonesboro is the principal city of the Jonesboro-Paragould Combined Statistical Area, a CSA with a population of 179k according to that 2020 census. Top 5 Things To Do in Jonesboro (Sponsored by TripAdvisor) This uh, this might be a short write-up, just FYI #5 - Civil Axe Throwing - Jonesboro - So, as you can probably already tell, this is a smaller town with not much to do. That being said, who can say no to some good axe throwing? It's, it's really just a normal axe throwing place. #4 - Centennial Bank Stadium - Well, this is a new one. The stadium we are playing in is one of the top things to do in Jonesboro. Not really sure what the protocol is here. Here's a blurb about some in stadium features I guess: Centennial Bank Stadium features a multi-level press box, which houses media areas, coaching booths, broadcasting locations, a video control booth, camera areas, suites, a club area and more. The face of the stadium has been redesigned to include 42 loge boxes, 20 suites, a club area covering close to 8,000 square feet (740 m2) and 344 club seats in its revenue-generating areas. Not only has depth been added to the press box, it now spans from approximately the 15-to-15 yard lines, allowing for enhanced media, coaching, broadcasting, control booth, visiting athletics director suite, and camera areas. #3 - ASU Museum - Finally an interesting and unique attraction! The University Museum offers exhibits that help further academic research by providing quality programming to the people of NE Arkansas. See and learn things about the Arkansas Frontier, including wildlife and Native American art. Conduct earthquake experiments and see the giant Mastodon fossil. It's fun-ducational! #2 - Forrest L Wood Crowley's Ridge Nature Center - If the amount of fun had was tied to the number of letters used in the place's title, then this must be the most fun place on Earth! The three-story facility offers an educational experience focusing on the local wildlife in the area, ranging from large game animals to the smallest insects. There's also 3 miles of hiking trails so you can do your own damn research if you want! #1 - Craighead Forest Park - As seen pictured above, you can get some really nice views in Jonesboro. The best place to get these views is at Craighead Forest Park. The park offers several different buildings and facilities for the public (including a dog jumping pier WHAT!) and is 692 acres of forest beauty. Activities include basketball, biking & running trails, bird watching, camping, disc golf, fishing, horseshoes, playgrounds and softball & volleyball fields. And the lake has catchable bass, bream, crappie and tilapia. Arkansas State University The crown jewel of Jonesboro...no, really Arkansas State University is a public research university in Jonesboro. The university was founded in 1909 as the First District Agricultural School. In 1925 it became the First District Agricultural and Mechanical College. The first 4-year program started in 1930, and in 1933 the name changed again to Arkansas State College. Finally, in 1967, the Arkansas state legislature elevated the college to a university. Enrollment is about 15k, with an acceptance rate of 70% and a graduation rate of 53%. 2023 U.S. News & World Report has Arkansas State as the 361st best school in the country. Its motto is "Educate, Enhance, Enrich." NOTABLE ALUMNI: Debbye Turner - Miss America, 1990 Jeff Hartwig - former U.S. Record holder for Pole Vaulting Earl Bell - former World Record holder for Pole Vaulting Rodger Bumpass - voice of Squidward Tortellini (what the sigma??) The Arkansas State Red Wolves Yeah alright it looks pretty sick Why Red Wolves? - In the early history of ASU, the team went by multiple different nicknames, including Aggies (hey!) Gorillas, and Warriors. But in 1931, the school settled on being called the Indians. ASU had a trio of Indian mascots, with the only named one being Chief Big Track (named after an Osage chief), the other two were an unnamed brave and princess (look, it was Arkansas in the 1930s ok? Didn't exactly age well!) Local tribes including the Cherokee worked with the university to use accurate attire, dances, and appearances. In 2007, the mascot review committee voted unanimously to retire the Indians namesake. A panel was created to select a new team name. They had 12 finalists: A's (athletics), Black/Red Wolves, Diamonds, Express, Mallards, Mustangs, Red Dragons, Red Storm, Ridge Runners, Ridge Riders, and Thunderbirds. A further cutting down of the list left three candidates: Red Wolves, Ridge Riders, and Express Train. On the last day of January 2008, the committee voted on the Red Wolves (personally I liked Ridge Runners for its uniqueness, but Red Wolves is also good). Unfortunately the school does not have actual wolf mascots Sports? - Yes. The school sponsors 13 sports and also has women's bowling which is not a sponsored league. For both men's and women's there's basketball, cross country, golf, and track and field. They have baseball but no softball, and for soccer, tennis, and volleyball those are all women's teams only. And of course they also play... FOOTBALL! Hard to make any football stadium look bad honestly, this is no exception The House - Centennial Bank Stadium The Cap - 30,406 The Field - ProGreen The Name - While formerly known as Indian Stadium and ASU Stadium, in 2012 Liberty Bank became the title sponsor after they donated $5 million to the university. A year later Liberty Bank was bought by Centennial Bank and thus the name changed as well. Extra Curriculars? - Other than the occasional high school football game....nope. IN CONCLUSION Arkansas State University is the most notable thing about Jonesboro Arkansas. The Aggies will go into enemy territory and come out with a win, destabilizing the local economy.

Texas A&M is UNDEFEATED! Let's keep it ROLLING! After a great start to the year this past week against Fresno State, the Aggies are going to take on a potential title favorite in the Baylor Bears. But even after watching the team's victory last week...we still don't know anything about football. So once again we decided to get a "scouting" report ready for our upcoming opponent. Keep in mind we DID win, so clearly doing these scouting re- sorry, "scouting" reports has helped the team. And we don't even have to travel far this week since the game is a couple hours' drive from College Station. So, let's get started! Waco, Texas Also known as: THE WORST CITY IN THE WORLD Author's Note: Ok, we will get into the normal stuff in a second, but I wanted to step outside of the bit for a second to talk. I think I am a decent human being, capable of being open minded to new ideas, new cultures etc. I love to learn about new things and experience new places. I think I tend to have a more positive outlook on things than the normal person. I think I am very humble. With all that being said............Waco is far and away the worst city in America, in the world, and in the whole f****** universe. I. Hate, Waco. Texas. I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I HATE IT! I've been there for, all told, maybe a couple days total, and everything about this place is what is wrong with humanity. The people here live fake lives, and they worship a couple that is quirky because they like to say "shiplap" a lot. I don't want to get into religion here, but I'll just say the hypocrisy is off the bleeping charts. And don't even get me started on the one event that Waco is known for (and that there are STILL PEOPLE THAT DEFEND THAT PERSON). So, when I go on to talk about the things to do in Waco, as I am contractually obligated to do by TripAdvisor, what I really want to tell you is that there is only one thing to do in Waco: Leave as fast as you can. /end rant What is a "Waco"? - In a basic sense, the epitome of hell on Earth. In an etymology sense, the term derives from the type of Wichita Indian tribe that first lived in the area, who were known as the "Waco". If you're wondering "were these natives forced out of their encampments violently" you already know the answer is yes! Where is this "Waco"? - In a basic sense, too close to College Station. In a geographical sense, it is a bit NE of the center of Texas and sits almost halfway between Dallas and Austin. The city covers about 95 sq miles, of which 11 are covered in water. In a latitudinal/longitudinal sense it sits at 31°33'5" North, 97°9'21" West. Why is "Waco" a thing? - In a basic sense, to create sin. In a historical sense, the land was on the Brazos River, and so naturally any body of water will lead to people wanting to settle there. The town started to grow rapidly when they built the first bridge over the Brazos in 1870, as this led to cattle herds now having a much easier path to navigate (should they choose to pay the bridge toll). It wasn't long after this that Waco got its own stop on the railways. And, unfortunately, we do have to give Waco one good thing: In 1885, at Morrison's Old Corner Drug Store, the soft drink Dr. Pepper was created. Who is in "Waco"? - In a basic sense, heathens. In a not-hating sense, a 2022 estimated census report shows that about 143k people live here, making it the 24th most populous city in Texas. In a demographical sense, it is the main city a part of the Waco metropolitan statistical area, which has an estimated population of 304k as of 2023. According to that 2020 Census, 42% of the population is white non-Hispanic, 31.7% are Hispanic or Latino, and 19.4% are Black or African American (non-Hispanic). Top 5 Things To Do in Waco (Sponsored by TripAdvisor) Besides, you know, leaving #5 - Valley Mills Vineyards - Technically this is not in Waco but in Valley Mills (which in this author's opinion adds to the appeal), however it is close enough to the city that is worth going to. Make fine wines from 100% Texas-grown grapes and enjoy some wine tasting tours as well. Or you can skip the whole thing and just buy the wine online. #4 - Dr. Pepper Museum (a 2023 Travelers' Choice Award Winner!) - As mentioned previously, Dr. Pepper was created in Waco, and this is a museum dedicated to the history of the product and the company. Dr. Pepper is the nation's oldest major soft drink, and this building has 3 floors with regularly changing exhibits. Experiences (which are an additional charge) include Make a Soda, Taste a Soda, PARANORMAL EXPERIENCE (???) and Extreme Pepper Experience. GA Tickets are $10 and you get a free soda with each ticket. I hope they have Pepsi! #3 - Cameron Park Zoo - Zoos are cool. This one is no exception. 52 acres of land not far from downtown, Cameron Park has more than 1700 animals representing 300+ different species. They have a penguin exhibit coming soon, so that's pretty hype given that penguins are the best animal. #2 - Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum (a 2023 Travelers' Choice Award Winner!) - No, this is not about the baseball team. This is about the actual Texas Rangers and their history. Opened 60 years ago as the first law enforcement historical center in the US, the Museum has many artifacts and exhibits documenting the entire history of the Rangers (picture above is by the entrance of the museum). Again, there are no references to the baseball team. #1 - Waco Mammoth National Monument (a 2023 Travelers' Choice Award Winner!) - There are MAMMOTHS in TEXAS?!?!? No, but there used to be! Columbian mammoths roamed what is present-day Texas thousands of years ago. The records of these fossils remain the only recorded evidence of a nursery herd of ice age Columbian mammoths in the United States. At this National Park, tourists can view the remains of some of the fossil specimens that remain in their original state when they were found (some of the fossils discovered were transferred to Baylor for scientific studies). As far as I know, Ray Ramono has not paid a visit yet. Baylor University A University with 0 known controversies, what a rarity! Baylor University is Private Baptist Christian research University in Waco. The University was chartered in 1845 by the last Congress of the Republic of Texas and is the oldest continuously operating University in the state and was one of the first institutions to open west of the Mississippi. The original location was in Independence, TX, a town closer to Houston that now only has a population of 140 people. The University moved to Waco in 1885. Enrollment is approximately 16k, with an acceptance rate of 46%. In 2023 U.S. News & World Report has Baylor as the 93rd best University in the U.S. Other papers like Forbes rank Baylor much lower, usually sub-250. Its motto is "For Church, For Texas". Fun fact! The University does not officially recognize any LGBTQ+ clubs, so that's a very cool thing for a college to do IN 2024. NOTABLE ALUMNI: Robert Griffin III, Heisman Winner Angela Kinsey, that tight-ass Christian chick, the blonde Jeff Dunham, Dummy Honorable Mention: Willie Nelson, who studied "Agriculture" for 3 years before dropping out. Legend. The Baylor Bears B U more like P U! Why Bears? - In 1914, Baylor students voted on the Bears to be the official "Patron Saint of all Baylordom". The first live bear arrived on campus in 1917 as a gift from soldiers at Camp MacArthur. Each live bear mascot since is given the honorary title of "Judge" in honor of the school's founder Judge R.E.B Baylor. Baylor currently has 2 new cubs as their mascots, Judge Indy and Judge Belle. Live look at the Cubs trying to make a desperate escape out of Waco Sports? - Yes. Baylor sponsors 17 different sports, including golf, tennis, cross country/track, a title winning basketball program for men's and women's teams, and a title contender in the sport of.... FOOTBALL! Stupid sexy stadium The House - McLane Stadium The Cap - 45,140 The Field - Matrix Turf The Name - Named in 2013 after Drayton McLane Jr., a business magnate and Baylor alumnus who was the main bankroller in the stadium's construction. Extra Curriculars? - Almost none. Occasionally hosts the usual concert or church gathering, you know, normal football stadium stuff. IN CONCLUSION Baylor University is a university located in the worst town ever. The Aggies will go into enemy territory and give the potential #1 team in the nation their second loss of the season (their first loss being in Waco).

Texas A&M football is BACK and AGGIER than EVER! A new season of college football is upon us, and as Kyle Field is ready to welcome hundreds of thousands of fans through its gates once again, we here at The Battalion wanted to give a weekly "scouting" report of the upcoming opponents. However, nobody here at The Battalion actually knows anything about football. We like the Aggies, sure, but none of the other teams are all that interesting to learn about. You can find plenty of articles out there talking about base defenses and zone reads, but how many articles are out there where you actually learn about the history of other schools? That is what this weekly article aims to help with: learning! Because education is priceless, and we care very much about academics here!* So, without further ado, let's learn something about Fresno State, the week 1 opponent for the Aggies. *unverified reports Fresno, California Wait, I've heard that tagline before... What is a "Fresno"? - In a basic sense, it is a city in California. In an etymology sense, Fresno was the Spanish name of the ash trees that were abundant in the area when it was incorporated in 1885. Where is this "Fresno?" - In a basic sense, it is in California. In a geographical sense, it is near the center of the state and covers about 115 square miles of land. In a latitudinal/longitudinal sense, it lies at 36° 45′ 0″ N, 119° 46′ 0″ W. Why is "Fresno" a thing? - In a basic sense, gold. In a historical sense, as a result of the California gold rush settlers formed a town here in the 1850's. In 1872 a railway station was built and it helped the city grow rather quickly. Who is in "Fresno?" - In a basic sense, approximately 540k people, making it the fifth largest city in the state and 34th largest in the United States. In a demographical sense, it is the main city in the Fresno-Madera Combined Statistical Area, a CSA with a total population of 920k+. According to the 2020 Census, 50% of the population is Hispanic/Latino, 24% is white non-Hispanic, 14% are Asian non-Hispanic, and 7% are Black or African American non-Hispanic. Top 5 Things To Do in Fresno (sponsored by TripAdvisor) This is a real photograph and not a painting, we promise. #5 - Blossom Trail - Just a trail with Blossom trees surrounding it. The path is about a 3 hour walk. DO NOT GO INTO THE ORCHARDS! Because it's private property and that would be trespassing silly! #4 - Meux Home Museum - Once the home of Dr. Thomas Richard Meux, this 1888 Victorian Mansion has 16 rooms as well as a beautiful, maintained garden. Tours take 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on your pace! laughing emoji #3 - Woodward Regional Park - The 300-acre regional park has playgrounds, trails and recreation areas, ponds for fishing and a BMX course. It's also home to the beautiful Shinzen Japanese Friendship Garden (pictured above). Fun fact: if you smuggle in someone 65 years or older you get $2 off admission! #2 - Fresno Chaffee Zoo - With over 190 different species across 39 acres of land, the Chaffee Zoo is fun for the whole family! Feed stingrays and giraffes, watch bird shows, dine with sea lions, and don't forget to buy the overpriced merchandise! #1 - Forestiere Underground Gardens (a 2023 Travelers' Choice Award Winner!) - The creation of self-taught artist/builder Baldassare Forestiere in the 1900's, these underground gardens are exactly what they sound like: a hand-built network of underground rooms with fruit-producing trees, shrubs, and vines, with some plants being nearly a century old. Anything to get out of the heat amirite?! Fresno State University Well technically it's California State University, Fresno, but that doesn't market well Fresno State University is a public institution that is a part of the California State University system. The school was founded in 1911 as "Fresno State Normal School". The location of the school moved to where it currently resides in 1956. Enrollment is approximately 25k students, and they have a 95% acceptance rate. In 2022 Forbes ranked Fresno State as the 170th best university in the country. Its motto is "Discovery, Diversity, Distinction". Fun fact! If you are a part of the Equestrian team you can get on campus housing (on campus stabling?) for your horse! I just think that's neat. NOTABLE ALUMNI: Rick Husband, Astronaut Aaron Judge, Baseball Masher Lane Kiffin, Lane Train Enterprises The Fresno State Bulldogs I hope we get to see a good boi later in this report! Why Bulldogs? - In 1921, the student body president brought his pet bulldog with him everywhere on campus. The student paper started referring to the college as The Bulldogs soon after. The university has not always had a live mascot (quote from the FSU site: "As the country entered tumultuous times in the late 1960’s to early 1970’s, the Live Mascot program fell to the wayside." So Vietnam is basically responsible for Fresno State not having a live mascot for a while). However in 2006, a contest was held and a new Bulldog was chosen to become Victor E. Bulldog, restarting the tradition once again. THERE HE IS!!! YEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!! Sports? - Yes. Fresno State sponsors several men's and women's teams, including Wrestling, Volleyball (women only), Golf (Men only), softball/baseball (each have the only two NCAA championships in Fresno State history) and...of course... FOOTBALL! Somebody left the end zones transparent (photoshop joke) THE HOUSE - Valley Children's Stadium THE CAP - 40,727 THE FIELD - FieldTurf THE NAME - A local children's hospital, naming rights bought for $1 million over 10 years. EXTRA CURRICULARS? - Not really, hosted the California Bowl from 1981-1991, and hosted a few soccer friendlies prior to the 1994 World Cup IN CONCLUSION Fresno State is a University in California. They play football. They're travelling to Kyle Field and we're gonna beat 'em...maybe.

uh i think mine is very broken

College Station, TX - In a surprise move that seemingly came out of nowhere but has been in the works for months now, former SMU HC VerifiedThing has returned to college football, this time taking over the Fighin' Aggies of Texas A&M. Before taking the job, and to prove he was worthy in the first place, VT had to go through the traditional "27 Rites of Passage" to become the new Head Coach. Every Aggie knows the 27 by heart from their Freshman Orientation, but for those outsiders/non-believers who are curious about our ways, here is the full list of the 27 Rites: RITE 1: Upon meeting the Administration for the first time, the candidate must introduce himself with a hearty "Howdy!" RITE 2: The candidate must follow up the Howdy with an equally hearty "To hell with UT!" RITE 3: Must leave a penny on the Sul Ross statue and hope the tribute is not rejected. RITE 4: A deep and respectful bow to Queen Reveille. If she pisses on your leg you are to be taken to the police for treason against the crown, where the punishment is banishment to Austin. RITE 5: Ordering a nice refreshing coke. The coke must be Dr. Pepper. RITE 6: Attending the Midnight Yell, must follow all orders to a tee or else face banishment to Austin. RITE 7: Sing all of the Aggie Songs, in order, with no breaks or refreshments (not even Dr. Pepper). RITE 8: Another "To hell with UT!" followed by a thumbs up. RITE 9: Must replace their entire wardrobe with Maroon and White. Any orange clothes will be confiscated and burned at the bonfire, and the ashes shall be banished to Austin. RITES 10-19: Must sit in solitary for 10 consecutive days thinking only about the glory of Texas A&M. Each day is its own Rite. RITE 20: One more "To hell with UT!" RITE 21: If "Gig Em" has not entered the candidates everyday vocabulary he will be dismissed. RITE 22: Upon gazing at Kyle Field for the first time, the applicant must stare in wonder at the most beautiful sports stadium to ever exist. RITE 23: The applicant will be fitted for a football uniform, which he must wear at all times, and he must be ready for action in case the team needs him. RITE 24: This Rite has been changed in 2015 after a student body vote. The applicant must simply wear a cowboy hat and mustn't do anything else with it. RITE 25: *RITE 25 IS TOP SECRET AND CAN ONLY BE EXPERIENCED BY THOSE WITH PROPER SECURITY PROTOCOLS. IT IS ILLEGAL TO EVER DISCUSS RITE 25 WITH THOSE INVOLVED* RITE 26: Upon finishing Rite 25, the applicant will go in front of the student body and proclaim "I have completed Rite 25." This will be met with a hearty "Whoop!" followed by "To hell with UT!" RITE 27: The applicant must agree to a 10 year $650 million contract fully guaranteed.

Note: All top 10 recruits are 5*s and have B Overall ratings 1. OT John Nunez, Choctawhatchee High School, Fort Walton Beach, FL Potential: A- It takes a special player to be ranked #1 in the country, and an even more special one to be an Offensive Lineman. But at 6'4" 297, Nunez out of Florida has impressed scouts so much that some have even said he could start for any CFB team this year. For defensive ends, it's as difficult to get around Nunez as it is to spell his high school's name. Speaking of Choctawhatchee, did you know that in the 1970's Ann Bowden, wife of Bobby Bowden, attended a Choctawhatchee football game and saw their pregame ritual of their Indian mascot riding a horse onto the field and planting a spear at midfield. She then told her husband about it, and soon enough the Florida State Seminoles pregame ritual was born. Could this be a sign that Nunez may be destined to continue the Choctawhatchee-FSU pipeline? 2. WR Brad Pogue, Clarke County High School, Grove Hill, AL Potential: A- If there was one word to describe Pogue, it would be "fast", but by the time you say the word fast he's already gone 50 yards downfield. This speed helped his team win State by leading the country in receiving yards his junior year. His Senior season is poised to break those records. But if you're thinking of snagging the best WR in the class, you better be contenders. Pogue has made it clear that his decision will be based on whichever team gives him the best chance at winning, so non-Playoff contending teams need not apply. However, if you are a Tulsa fan, this is excellent news; you guys would most likely be the first on his list. 3. QB Dick Richards, Johnson High School, Anchorage, AK Potential: A- One of the most talked about recruits so far this cycle is a 5-star potential generational talent Quarterback from the recruiting hotbed of...Alaska? (Does it even get hot there?) While there are some concerns that Richards is facing weaker competition than his peers, he's more than quelled those fears by stealing the show at every recruiting camp he's been able to attend. Like Pogue, Richards led his team to the state title last season and is primed to repeat. As far as leading candidates for schools, there aren't any. Richards is supposedly willing to hear from anybody and will consider any offer. It's very likely he may wait until signing day to make a decision, but until then, just enjoy the show if you're in Anchorage. 4. OT Shawn Johnson, Glenelg High School, Glenelg, MD Potential: B+ In a small town West of Baltimore, there lies a monster, and he plays Left Tackle for the Glenelg Gladiators. Shawn Johnson comes in at 6'5" 295 pounds, and he has given himself the nickname "The Monster." Johnson is known to have a flair for the dramatic, as his tapes will show an equal amount of raw destruction and showboating, but he is as good as he is flamboyant. He has told scouts his senior quote is going to be "Bulldozers grow up wanting to be me." With all that said, Johnson really is a solid Run Blocker, possibly the best in this cycle. Johnson also would like to go to a school close to home, so Maryland may be in a great spot. However, he also prefers a religious school and Temple is close to home as well. 5. FS Edward Martin, Erath High School, Erath, LA Potential: B Quarterbacks in the Bayou state have long since learned to not throw to the side of the field that Eddy Martin patrols because the best case scenario is the ball gets swatted into oblivion and the worst case is an easy 6 points the other way. A rare gem from the tiny town of Erath, Martin finds himself on the top of the list when it comes to High School Senior Free Safeties, and for good reason. Martin is exceptional at zone coverage, and looks to be an immediate contributor at the next level. Similar to Shawn Johnson, Martin wishes to stay close to home. This bodes well for Louisiana and of course the LSU Tigers, but don't count out Houston and Rice who are very close as well. 6. DE Roger London, Lovejoy High School, Lovejoy, GA Potential: B- When London was a Freshman, he broke the school record in nearly every weight room category there is. Since then, London has turned that strength into being a menace on the football field. His athleticism combined with his strength makes him a top target in the country. He looks to be a future NFL draft pick, and if given the right training regimen he may develop into a #1 overall pick. As far as schools London favors, he is keeping his choices and preferences close to his chest and there is no clear favorite at this time. Although the Georgia schools should have an advantage given he's a hometown product. 7. ILB John Kwiecien, Northampton County High School, Gaston, NC Potential: C+ Fans of teams in the North Carolina/Virginia area may want to practice their pronunciation of Kwiecien (koo-WAY-shun, apparently) because he looks to be a dominant Linebacker in college and has said he'd like to stay close to home. Kwiecien has had offers before to practice at schools designated to help young athletes reach the next level (like IMG Academy in Florida) but had turned them down in order to stay in Gaston. Despite the lower talent level he's played against, Kwiecien has shown tremendous leadership skills as well as pure athleticism that makes him a highly sought after recruit. As such, Kwiecien has made it known he wants to win a title, so Old Dominion and maybe Duke as well look like the best bets for him right now. 8. DE Hector Galvan, Tomball Memorial High School, Tomball, TX Potential: C+ Down in Texas we have the #1 ranked run stopping DE in the class with Hector Galvan. The Houston area prospect is well known for his hard-working work ethic, always in the weight room or film room looking to improve his game. However, Galvan is also known to butt heads with other teammates and even coaches, as this may be a product of him being the best player on every team he's ever played for. If he can scale back that intensity a bit or at least direct it more towards the opposing OL, he could become even better than he is right now. Galvan has a very open list of interested teams to start, so even though several Texas teams may get an in house bonus, Galvan also is willing to travel far out of state to compete at the next level. 9. C Timothy Doak, Windermere Preparatory School, Windermere, FL Potential: C+ Quarterbacks across the country will soon be jealous of whoever is lucky enough to take the snap from Doak. He's one of, if not THE best pass blocker of this class and still has much more room to grow. He's 6'5" 295 pounds and you are not getting past him on a rush. Playing in a small school conference, Doak has not been challenged much, but even with that caveat, it's very clear on game tape that he is a special player. It's too early to tell where Doak is even thinking of heading towards, but anyone with a QB they wish to protect should go after this kid with every recruiting tool they have (within the limits of NCAA regulations.) 10. CB Paul Phillips, Pottsgrove High School, Pottsgrove, PA Phillips didn't pick up football until he tried out for varsity his freshman year. He hasn't missed a start since. Phillips has been CB1 for Pottsgrove for 3 consecutive years and is primed to make it 4. While his coverage skills still need some work, if he's anywhere near the ball it's going to be swatted away or picked. Phillips may not be a first-year starter in college, but if given time and proper coaching he could quickly develop into one of the top corners in the country. And if you're worried about Phillips leaving early, worry no longer, as he has made it very clear in his recruitment that he wants to graduate with a degree in Physiology before potentially playing in the NFL.

Everybody's mock is gangsta until someone makes a trade... I'm going to go out on a limb and say 2 Top 5 picks and 6 of the first round picks in total are going to move around some. There are some risk loving owners out there and we saw that with FA. Should be a wild 2 nights
