Bama wins, Aggie covers.

Texas to win, cyclones to cover.

To be honest, this "all he does is win" stuff about Hoyer smells a lot like Tebow a few years ago. He has not impressed me. Cleveland is a lot better than people thought regardless of the QB. However, Hoyer is probably a lot less prone to make the big mistake than John John which is probably exactly what that team needs right now.

I'm still okay with the hire at this point. We've seen steady improvement with his running the program HIS way. He's going to have to start winning games though. They have outplayed two ranked teams (ucla and OU) with two losses in those games. If he finds an equal or someone almost his equal on the offensive side of the ball, this will be a dominant team again. I don't think he's got his man though in Watson.

It should be. They are loud and active. But they were never nearly as loud as LSU fans (I was there for a Florida game) or OSU (for the '05 Texas game). I have been to a few Texas - A&M games and a few A&M - Tech games. One was their biggest rival and the other was beating them consistently for over a decade. So I think it should be a favorable sample for Kyle.

But Kyle would be 3rd on my list out of the places I've been.

Kyle Field crowds are great. I have not been there since the latest expansion. But based upon my experiences, LSU's Tiger Stadium and Ohio State's horseshoe are tougher venues to play.

Me too buddy.

You can't continue to ride this wave in mediocrity. You can't push the SEC if you are a pretender in the conference. The biggest problem I see is still a defense that has no chance against anyone who is remotely potent on offense. You can't ask your offense to be perfect every game. Snyder has to go. We have joked about Mushchamp but I would hit him as hard as I could with the money stick in the offseason. He's been a disaster as a HC but the man can coach a defense. Ags have to get this fixed and fast. Otherwise they are going to be back where they were before, wondering where it all went wrong. #realtalk

You can say that again

Dang man. Exactly how good IS Miss St?

It's bad when you thoroughly out play a team and lose. That usually means you got outcoached. I'm not sure Big Baby Bobby outcoached Charlie, but Charlie sure didn't help his cause. And a lot of those penalties/timeouts were due to the players waiting on a play. Charlie may need to get Watson alone with a blow torch and pair of pliers and get this crap straightened out on the quick. Feel sorry for those boys today.

That tweet is greatness. (And sadly it appears the core values haven't changed.)

By the way, it is my opinion that if you combined the Aggies offense with the Texas defense, you would have a prohibitive favorite to win the NC. Combine the remaining two units on another team and you would have a prohibitive favorite to win a few games in the Southland Conference.

This game appears to support the old adage that teams take on the personality of their coaches. The Texas players (particularly the defense) looks tough as nails and the OU players look whiny as hell...

  aggy delusion at it's finest.  "Well of course we invented the thumbs up!!  That's why after we finish suing Seattle over the whole '12th man' thing, we will be suing the pants off of Fonzy!  Stop stealing our stuff America!!!!"  

I swear on all that is holy I almost typed "excluding nascar." 😂

Most rednecks in an open air venue in the state of Texas?

At best, the 3rd best QB in that draft...

Aggies making suspensions on "no proof?" They suit em up when they show up pregame wiping coke boogers from their noses!!

What is this indefinitely business anyway?? I thought the precedent set was one quarter against a rice-type opponent?

Don't get silly BG.

Oh, and I thought the game immediately following our conversation was evidence of his point. Brown and gray ran more effectively against Baylor than any game all year.

A ray of hope for the beat future. I spent about a half hour last Saturday chatting with a guy who played his last game with the Longhorns last season. He was a 4 year starter on the OL after being very highly recruited as a 5* recruit. He had some injuries but started most of the games over his 4 years of playing. Got his degree, found out the nfl probably wasn't in the cards for him and went back to West Texas working in the oil & gas industry. He told me that he expects to see the OL improve drastically this year and to see marked improvement each week. The minimal prior starts they had when thrown at byu was too much too overcome. He went in detail about reads and things you have to recognize at this level. He said without experience, you spend too much time thinking and not enough just playing. But he said this is a smart group that is picking it up very quickly. He also said that although he obviously never played for Coach Wick, he did play against his OLs for 4 years. He said that, coupled with talking to the guys and seeing them practice when he's in town (his gf still lives in ATX), leads him to believe that Wickline is as good an OL coach as there is in CFB. Take it for what it's worth but I have a lot of confidence in this guy. He was a very good one for the Horns and is exceptionally bright and cerebral when it comes to football. (And if horndawg had shown up at the tailgate I was going to make him arm wrestle this dude 💪

If you come back, Mr. Buddy Garrity has agreed to be your personal butler for a weekend. Or that was told to me. By a friend of a friend of a friend who drops off his laundry. So come back. That seems to me to be a solid offer.
