He has consistently told everyone he wants to play 2 yrs a la Lamarcus Aldridge. I'm not buying it. I think there is a good chance he would go #2 overall behind Jahlil Okafor.

Wow. Is this what people are really clamoring for? You hit the nail on the head with espn.

Did not know that. I am a little troubled by what the NFL is doing now but I have little patience for what he did. Photos were sickening.

I am interested to see what Kennedy does this year. They have better talent than their record has been. And next year they have a class for the ages coming in. He needs to show progress on the court this season.

Best team we've had since the team that lost to Memphis and Derrick Rose in the Elite 8 in Houston. This team could be better and is more talented than TJ Ford's final four team. We just don't have a pg like TJ. I thought Kansas being ranked in top 5 was silly. Texas should be favored to win the big 12. We split with KU last year and we got better and they lost their best 2 to the Lottery.

They being tOSU

Nope. I'm surprised Ohio state is too though. Something tells me they get in somehow if they win out though.

Now THAT makes sense. If true, I like it as well...

Yet better than the best team in the sec. Beat em before you chirp. Tough concept for Aggies, I know.

Would love to see the cowboys back on top. As of today though, gotta agree with BG. GB is looking a step above the others in the NFC and NE looks like the class of the AFC. I think those two play in a few weeks.

I haven't seen enough of their games to comment on the offensive play calling. But I know you and some of my Aggie friends have not been thrilled with some of his play calling. I can relate because I often feel the same way (now and many, many times in the past) with our OCs. I would think that with the obvious glaring problems with Snyder's defense, he is benefitting in not being that awful. Couldn't agree more though with keeping that D off the field.

Don't judge me but I heard a clip on the Howard Stern show from several years ago ('07 I think) where Janice Dickinson was promoting a book. She had written something about Cosby but the publisher cut it and she was instructed not to talk about it.

And, btw, the "A&M has more to lose" reference was meant solely for recruiting. Obviously otherwise, any game both teams have the same thing at stake - a win or a loss and bragging rights. This was not meant as a jab at the Ags; it's actually a compliment. Texas almost always has more to lose in this respect any time they play a team they compete with in Texas. A&M, due to its recent recruiting success, would be the exception to the rule.

We seem to be playing at the same time a lot so I only get to see the Aggies during commercials. It looks to me like Allen is improving though - is this accurate in your opinion? In any event, he has a unique skill set few QBs have. And between Kyle and Hill, it's a no brainer to me who I would want leading my team. If Kyler Murray's commitment holds (and I expect it will), things will get interesting in a year or two.

A&M does have more to lose IMO. In addition, I would favor UT in that matchup. I know, I know, I'm biased. But although you guys don't know me, I generally don't drink the kool aid and would freely admit this is the first year since we last played that Texas wouldn't be a significant underdog. I read an article this morning about recruiting starting to swing back Texas' way in last several weeks and a loss by A&M could really swing the pendulum. Regardless, we will see what happens and we will likely know why whatever happens. I have a hard time criticizing A&M for such a decision, if Chip is right. After all, I believe the reason we are no longer playing anyway is due to Deloss.

I am guarded with Chip Brown reports. It's conjecture at best at this point. If his scenario comes to fruition, we will hear about it from sources other than a Longhorn beat writer. I would think there would be some disgruntled Texaa Bowl officials/sponsors who will be upset and talking due to lost revenue.

Makes sense from the Aggies' standpoint. Fortunately, Chip is wrong more than he's right.

On two SEC teams getting in?

He is a man after all.

That team is scary deep. Very impressed with Duke too. Going to be a great year in CBB. Footnote: the Horns will crush the jayhawks on the boards this year. Kansas struggled with them last year with Embid and without Turner.

If by probably, you mean definitely, then I agree.

No worries GMPats. Sec will have one team at most. Big 12 has a better chance of getting in two. You heard it here.

Disagree. Texas needs to lose. If they win, Russell Athletic Bowl in Orlando may well take them before Texas Bowl gets to pick. If they are available when Texas Bowl selects, can't imagine them passing over them.

I wondered how long that would take. He had a lot of equity built up with the folks in W Texas. Using it up quick.

I don't know that I've EVER seen a better freshman defensive player than Garrett. None that I can think of. He would be a huge loss for ANY defense. On THAT defense, it's catastrophic.
