Texas A&M, Data, Football, and Me

So what is this blog really about? Well, it's about me, the university from which I have obtained two degrees (BS and MS), the football team from the aforementioned university, and the numerous spreadsheets, graphs, data collections, predictions, breakdowns, statistical comparisons, and graphics I have made concerning all three over the last few years.

I subscribe to several different online recruiting sources to get my information, namely: TexAgs.com and AggieYell.com . I will refrain from posting anything directly from these sites, like quotes from players, staff, journalists, or coaches; however, I will post my own random musings over football and other sports-related events, my data analysis for upcoming games, my interpretation of what things mean, my graphs and charts that detail how I came up with my conclusions, and my photographs, photoshops, and farks as they come to me.

I am an amateur photographer with a Nikon D60 with 50mm, 200mm, and 350mm lenses. I have a 1600mm lense on my Amazon wishlist but that will not capture action too well, and it requires a supertripod just to keep it steady... I hope to get some pictures of recruits in their high school games to post on here (with their permission of course).

Today, instead of starting with my depth chart (which I will post later this week) and my recruiting breakdown, and all that I just want to post some of the funny Farks I've done over the years...

(by the way, yes, I used to be StrongbadAg on TexAgs.com)

Brawndo Commercials Two and Three

Okay, so now you know about Brawndo... did you know there are two more commercials?

(I am sure there are even more out there!)




WARNING - BRAWNDO: The Thirst Mutilator contains the energy equivalent of 85 million tons of TNT per net ounce of weight...

Commercial 2:
Brawndo: The Thirst Mutilator - It's like riding a dinosaur that's attached to a rocket ship, made with 100% concentrated rage. You can tell when you open the can because it's extremely loud and by loud I mean tasty. It tastes like a locomotive full of screaming babies crashing into an aircraft carrier and the aircraft carrier is on fire, which sounds really exciting because fire is very exciting, but it's not more exciting than Brawndo because Brawndo is more exciting than a fist fight with a grizzly bear.

Commercial 3:
Brawndo: The Thirst Mutilator - It's like shaving your chest with a lawn mower! Which sounds dangerous, but it's not more dangerous than Brawndo because drinking Brawndo is like riding a pony which probably sounds not dangerous except that the pony is three hundred feet tall and covered in chainsaws! And to get on the pony you have to take an elevator with sixteen lion-cougars which is an actual sport in latin america (picture pointing to Europe) which is extremely fun but not as much fun as Brawndo because drinking Brawndo is like driving an ice cream truck full of angry bees through a petting zoo which is a great way to become popular if you want to become popular with law enforcement but if you don't you should still drink Brawndo because Brawndo will make you use your fists at everyday tasks like watching television, or romance, or helicopter repair and maintenance. It will also make you more awesome at English which means you can use apostrophes wherever you want to, even in words like 'Nucular' which don't even have an apostrophe yet!

...

As you can see Brawndo is fantastic, and it's got ELECTROLYTES!

Brawndo Commercial #1

If you haven't seen Idiocracy, the movie from Mike Judge that predicts America's ebbing intellectual future, you need to watch it. This movie sports a new energy drink called Brawndo - The Thirst Mutilator I have been looking all over the interwebs (sic) trying to find the transcipts of the commercials for this powerful energy drink of the future, and alas have come up dry. So instead, I will transcribe these three commercials myself, for your pleasure...

Transcript of Commercial #1: (said without taking a single breath)

"Brawndo - The Thrist Mutilator: It's like a monster truck you can pour into your face! It's got Electrolytes! What are Electrolytes? I don't know but they're extremely awesome! Brawndo is full of them, and they help plants grow! Which is why you should drink Brawndo and not water because water is from the toilet, and I've never seen plants grow out of the toilet! It's got caffeine - super extra caffeine! And five kinds of sugar! Which makes it delicious! And much better than other energy drinks which are not delicious! Drinking it will make you wonder why you've never crushed a human skull with your bare hands! But you won't have to because you'll already know that Brawndo tastes how that would feel! Which is like having sex with a tractor trailer in a parking lot... rrrrggggghhhhhhhhhh! I just split my pants like The Incredible Hulk! See that? Brawndo will make you need new pants! And while you're out buying new pants you should buy some new shoes, because you're going to wear out your shoes from kicking everyone's ass all the time! Brawndo will make you want to kick everyone's ass all the time! Which might be good or bad but either way you're gonna win because Brawndo will make you win at things you're not even supposed to win at! Like yelling! Brawndo will make you win at yelling! Or maybe instead of Yelling something else like jumping or waving! Because you'll be able to wave your hands really fast and you'll probably become invisible which doesn't even make any sense! But if that doesn't happen you'll probably just end up running somewhere! Which is good if you like running, but even if you don't Brawndo will make you win at exercise!"
