People love a good train wreck. As I've said before many times, he would be great for the league. As I've also said, he needs to grow up fast to keep from being a cautionary tale. He has been coddled his whole life, been allowed to do what he wants because of his talent. How many times have you Aggies made excuses for him? He's a kid. He's having fun. What 21 year old wouldn't act like that? (I would submit Andrew Luck lived a privileged life and is in the weight room or the film room while John John is out doing lines with the Biebs.) Don't get me wrong - it's not uncommon for this to happen among the supremely talented. But a lot grow up and mature and become men. Some don't. And in some sports, in some positions, you can even get away with it for a long time. But not a quarterback in football, not in this league. You can't be an embecile and last as a signal caller in the NFL. Chin up Ags. We watched a kid refuse to lose leading our school in Austin. He was, and is, the greatest QB we'd seen; taking down team after team with his own on his shoulders. And ultimately, he was too lacking between the ears to continue his heroics in the League. Not often do I disagree with Buddy G on this site; but here I do. Like VY, Little Johnny is on the fast track to becoming a cautionary tale. And unlike the aforementioned Mr. Luck, the Manning brothers, and other "privileged" kids who came before him, I think he lacks the character to avoid it.

9 or 10 minimum. Maybe 11. With their talent in that league, MSU may be their only loss.

Just watched it for the first time. Wow.

FIFY

😂😂

Coach February has the same number of National Championships as A&M does in the HISTORY OF THEIR PROGRAM! * I think underachieving should continue to be a fairly easy proposition for sumlin. And he will fit right into what aggy football is for everyone in the country not a delusional aggy fan. (*unless you count the two they began claiming right after they joined the SEC - Texas has 15 of those championships they have too much self-respect to claim.)

😂

I don't think this can help Perry, but I also don't think it is going to help anyone else. Regardless of what the true motivation might be, it is going to look like sour grapes. And no one can dislike Perry more than me. He is a hypocrite of the highest order (for reasons I can't and won't discuss here). But I am not a fan of this indictment.

Anyone remember if the guy that aggy called "coach February" EVER finished T-7th in conference? Pretty sure if he had, he would have been swiftly fired. Different set of expectations I suppose. But my are they proud of their own, poor man's version of "coach February."

The new Arkansas of the SEC. I expect similar results... I do remember using that youth excuse though as to why we didn't beat the "best college team of all time" worse in the MNC game...

^   Can Rick Perry at this point be considered a threat to anyone though?

It is kind of cute. You could say to act like you've been there before. But it has been a long time since they haven't just gotten the longhorn culls. So give them their blip! But you are right baddog about the measuring stick. Why else would you give top 10 money and an extension to a coach that just finished T-7th in conference??

I think you are going to start to see Bielema's system taking effect this year in Fayetteville. I think the Hogs will be much improved and will make some noise.

😂

On the topic of the o/u wins, I have a buddy (not a longhorn) who bet $500 on the under 7.5. His average bet size is about a tenth of that. I have looked at the schedule and kind of like his bet but not for 10 units. I think there are 6 games they should win, 4 they should lose, and 2 that are very winnable. One thing to keep in mind is that win total bets do not include any postseason games (bowl games, conference championships, etc.)

Disrespecting Lamar will not be tolerated, old ball coach!

If you are a sports nut and don't have directv, you are doing yourself a disservice. I have had them all at varying times.

In before Stevie responds to a question with another question...

Bite your tongue! Fish/Tessio is going to hit a hundo!

Exhibit B.

Permit to inquire if you would consider calling those who vote for Democrats "low information voters" would qualify as "name calling" or an "insult"? If not, would you agree that Rush Limbaugh, the man from whom Smitty and others got this term, certainly uses it as an insult? Would you not be able to concur that calling someone names and then complaining about the favor being returned is hypocritical (although to be fair, I haven't seen Smitty complain)? Finally, I don't disagree with you that he can post what he wants within the rules of the board. That is beside the point. You are also correct that no one will honor threads that are not compelling. In point of fact, I would submit that the majority of these cut and paste threads have no responses. And with the ones that do, it is usually a single comment of approval from you or LumRaiderFan. At the end of the day, if that's what you guys want this board to be, okay. It just gets to the point where those looking for a real discussion no longer visit it or post. And I would argue that is exactly what has happened with some of better contributors to this board.

I like Rick Smith. He made a great HC hire, IMO, and has had some great drafts. As I stated prior to the draft, if he passed on Manziel and Johnny turned into a star, it would be hard to overcome. But c'mon, no one was drafting him first overall. His biggest problem is he doesn't have a QB and you can't win without one in this league. Hopefully someone steps it up. But let's not write off the season during the preseason please.

Big time. And that's probably why - the most compelling players/teams are those people either love or hate. Indifference makes for poor ratings. Johnny, like LeBron on the other Cleveland team, fits that bill. Add to that he is one of the most exciting players to watch, and you have a ratings bonanza.

I can't argue with you. Very compelling. Pats - agree with you on Tice. Weird seeing him as a OL coach.
