La Monroe at Texas A&M

[TXHORN_ET]

I wish we could win at least half of our conference games. For that matter, the aggies would also. As of right now, both are lucky to have whatever wins they have. Don't be hatin on rice..lol

[Peppermint Patty]

And if A&M was in a conference with Iowa State, Texas Tech and Kansas they would have 3 more wins - the only other team that Texas has beaten is North Texas (a team that by the way rice beat by 20 points) .

 

So I guess teams have a choice - weak non-conference schedule (A&M) or just stay in a conference were 1/2 of the games are guaranteed wins (Texas).

 

And Texas would have 1 more win on Thanksgiving Day,

 

Based on the UTAM defense, that is a broad assumption that you would beat ANY of those teams.

An extremely 'BROAD' assumption!!

Neither A&M or Texas fans have any room for bragging rights so far this year.

 

But Texas fans can start talking about assumptions when Texas actually wins a game against a team that has won more than 2 games and all 4 teams they did beat the most impressive win of any of those teams was against Kansas  :lol:

 

And which is worse - the A&M Defense of the Texas offense?  There could be legitimate arguments both ways.

 

Texas A&M Defense - 76th

Texas Offense - 99th

And the ags quality win is whom?

Did not say that Texas A&M had a quality win - but at least one A&M win was against SC who beat Georgia (currently 17th) who has any team that Texas beat won against?  Answer NOBODY!

 

Again - these arguments are moot - Only argument is which team is worse than the other.

See what happens when I take 1/2 day off posting!

Unless the Ags and Horns play, you can never say who has the better team!

Arkansas and SC are better than anyone Texas has beaten

[Eazy]

I guess Tech will be the signature win for Texas.

[Peppermint Patty]

Based on what? SEC affiliation?

[Peppermint Patty]

I guess Tech will be the signature win for Texas.

Not as big as that ULM win, but the Horns will take anything they can get this year. Unlike someone else, they were never hyped as a top 10 team.

[Eazy]

That hype was based on one August win. Ags were picked 6th in the West preseason. Texas was picked 3rd, so who is playing below expectations?

Baylor.

Not only was the game against Louisiana-Monroe too close for comfort, but it appears that the Texas A&M Aggies have lost their starting right tackle. German Ifedi suffered a grade-two MCL sprain and coach Kevin Sumlin's outlook is not optimistic.

“On bigger guys, [an MCL sprain is] a problem,” the coach said. “I wouldn’t look to see him for the remainder of the regular season. We’ll probably get him back for the bowl game.”

Sophomore Ryan Lindblade is expected to take over the starting duties.

Arkansas beat Tech by the same number of points Texas did so some of them have played.

[TXHORN_ET]

Expectations are overrated.
