Absolutely. If I were handicapping it, I would say Baylor should win by around 10, give or take. However, if A&M definitely has a chance. Never know how shots are going to fall in a basketball game. I like Baylor's horses a little more, but A&M has a decent team. Aggie guard Alex Caruso is capable of having huge games and was co-sec player of the week last week. He can fill up a highlight reel but is also turnover prone at times. He has to take care of the ball. U of H transfer Danuel House is another player who should improve steadily. Nice size and tons of talent. I expect him to get better almost each game.

I am quite certain I'm not the only one who will be 1000 times more interested in watching the Browns on Sunday. Love him or hate him - he's one of a handful who is an instant ratings boost.

To me, it is a crap shoot. I worry much more about Johnny's off the field crap than his ability. Both can certainly play. But who ends up a quality NFL QB is unpredictable at best. The ones who seem to have the longest, more productive careers seem to be those who put in the most hours, especially off the field. I have no idea how much time either of these guys spend doing that. You are exactly right - only time will tell.

The Texas vs A&M matchup was never going to happen. Charlie Strong has vocalized that this was the matchup he and his players were hoping for. Whether or not A&M wanted the game varies depending on who you talk to. Ultimately, it is irrelevant. The game was never going to happen because the SEC was never going to risk damaging its Texas progress when the Aggies are "so down." SECond to no one in running scared...

He needs to head south ;)

I don't know what it is with aggy and the t shirt thing. Funny, they don't realize they are slamming some of their own fans. OldTimer, for instance, says he didn't go to A&M but he is a good, enthusiastic supporter of the university and its teams. But he is a "t shirt" fan according to some. Last I checked, people are allowed to root for whomever they want and ANY school is more than happy to take their patronage dollars. I had a guy that was at least 75 calling me a t shirt fan at the 05 game at Kyle. He was angry and belligerent and didn't like it when I explained some of us are, in fact, intelligent enough to get into the University, even its graduate school. He was to the point of trying to pick a fight with me until I politely asked his wife to get a handle on him before he hurt himself. I know a lot of Aggies that are great and I enjoy their friendship very much. But some, even on this site, just appear to be angry and bitter...

Based that off a relative of mine who is a ticket broker. Certainly wasn't there so I can't argue with you on those numbers. Had NO idea tcu only has 80k living alumni. To have that kind of turnout with those numbers is crazy. And for what it's worth, heard today that TCU would be a 4 pt underdog against Alabama on a neutral site and Baylor would be a 7 pt dog. What's the line again in the Sugar Bowl?

Aggy finally got its own network?

It's elementary really. When you've always been relegated to second class citizen, you grow to hate the first class citizens. ;)

100% correct. To be more specific, scared of losing increased success in Texas HS recruiting if someone's arse gets kicked.

Obsession noted.

You have to understand, pride at impact. Aggy poor compared to UT. They need that dough to pay off all the retarded raises and extensions they hand out.

A&M & Big Winner. "What are two things rarely used in the same sentence, Alex."

Link? The truth of the matter is Texas accepted the bid regardless of opponent. THEN the sec chose arky to fill that spot. I don't blame them - they put aggy up against a team that Texas beat soundly and put Arkansas against Texas, a team anyone with vision can see was playing better at the end of the year than aggy. Spin it anyway you want - the SEC does not want to lose that game and for sure does not want to see the Horns take aggy to the shed. They made a shrewd move to make sure that didn't happen.

True. And the sugar bowl are the easiet tickets to move in general anyway. New Orleans on New Years is a little more appealing than Phoenix.

Agree with most all of that. But both tcu and Baylor travel poorly. Very poorly. Tickets to the Fiesta Bowl last year were literally going for $5. Tcu had a similar showing the year they played Wisconsin in the rose bowl.

Rooting and obsession are two different animals. It may not apply to you, but it definitely applies to "some." And I've rooted on aggy plenty of times. Every time they played OU...

And I would take tcu against either team in the sugar bowl. Maybe the most complete team I've seen this year.

I believe the national champion will come out of the Rose Bowl. Which team wins that game I can't predict.

You two crack me up

Ditto. Or Lsu. Less Miles couldn't even beat Mack.

Time slots as expected ;)

I agree with you. Same with OU. Sad but true.

Completely agree. Very blah until the playoffs.

Tougher game for the Horns. SECond to none scared to place their Texas team against the Horns. Smart move IMO but bad for fans.
