Houston Steer Bonus Checks Over Time

It was fairly predictable that the bonus checks would follow the price of oil back in 2016.  What's even more predictable is that if the price of oil doesn't make a huge rebound, there's going to be an even larger pull on the amount the people of Houston are able to donate to the stock show next year.

Houston bonus check amounts for the past five years...

Texas A&M Coaching in Cattle Terms

I hate calling of people’s heads, especially coaches.  It's tacky to call for a man and his family to be fired because they don't win football games.

About ten years ago I went to so far as to register the domain names of “fire[insert aggie coach name here].com” before other idiots could get them.  Instead of attacking coaches I just put up a page that said “how about you go **** yourself instead.”

That being said, there are aspects of Kevin Sumlins job that I can do a lot better, like this…


Did you see that?  I took a full 40 seconds before I wrote that.  I didn’t stop waiting at 20 seconds left and I made sure the clock was still running while I did it.  It was hard, but I USED UP THE ENTIRE CLOCK BEFORE I TYPED THAT BECAUSE IT IS NOT HARD TO BURN CLOCK, IT LITTERALLY REQUIRES YOU TO JUST DO NOTHING FOR A FEW SECONDS.

So anyway, let’s cattle this thing up…

5. Sumlin turns his steer loose at the gate when he goes in for the grand drive.

4. Sumlin is the five-year-old show heifer that won her division at nationals your kids senior year but never stuck when bred.  She finally calved but it was dead by the time you found it.

3. Sumlin bought all of the embryos at Horn’s summer sale and then laid each straw on top of his recips to breed them.  I mean literally just laid the straws on their backs.

2. Sumlin won the Belt Buckle Bonanza and then turned his steer out on grass until Houston because he had it won.

1. Sumlin took his herd off of the hill after they made it the first night and moved them down to the river pasture to see if they could handle Harvey.

Too soon?

No, snapping the ball in the fourth quarter with 20 seconds left so your 3/17 QB can throw it into the ground again is too soon.
