Wow...
tu is run by arrogant pansies.
Nice pun to finish it off.
@BonzaiB A&M isn't a basketball school traditionally but recently (past decadish) they have been good. They made the NCAA tourney 6 years in a row from '06-'11. However, our Coach Mark Turgeon left after the '11 season for Maryland. Coach Kennedy is only in his 2nd season as head coach and last year (his first season) he was diagnosed with parkinson's disease and missed a lot of the season. This season can really be considered his first season in my opinion. Either way, 2 years is not very long so I doubt our AD is looking at replacing him anytime soon.
Wow. I had already written off the season for Texas A&M as bad as they have played in both winning and losing efforts. I guess I expected the SEC to be as good as it was last year. Clearly it's a down year across the board.
The entire SEC hopes he leaves for NFL. I don't think he does though. Here's to hoping.
And A&M doesn't have a summer to game plan and counter other teams adjustments. Come on. Sumlin knows that other teams have plenty of film to watch. A&M has great talent and is bringing in even better talent. We'll be fine.
wouldn't have been crazy if Damontre Moore would have finished the season stronger? A&M might have had the SEC Offensive and Defensive POY and the NFL Defensive POY all in the same season.
@bpa_kc You're probably right. We would probably beat them. Respect wise, I don't see that really increasing much. Sports pundits are crying because there isn't an 8 team playoff so that Texas A&M could have a shot at the title. That's respect. A&M will open the season in the top ten next year. Maybe the top five. A win over Texas would only be for pride. In fact, all Aggies should send a thank you note to that Tucker Kicker from Texas because had he missed that field goal we'd still have Sherman as our head coach. The worst win of the season last year happened to be the best thing that could've happened to A&M long term.
I think most A&M fans are catching on to the fact that A&M gains nothing by playing Texas in a bowl game this year. A&M would be expected to hang at least 173 points on them and if A&M was to lose this hypothetical game then all hell would break loose. A&M is currently viewed as the best team in the state without having to playing any Texas FBS team outside of SMU. If we had to play an old foe, there are only two teams that would provide any sort of boost in national respect and that's beating OU or Kansas State. I think A&M would manhandle Kansas State. Oklahoma on the other hand provides a much more difficult game to predict. Both teams match up really well. I think this game will come down to the final minute. BTHO OU!
Hindsight is 20/20. They expected A&M to attack the run. They tried to catch A&M off their feet. It failed. It's easy to look back and say they should have done this or that. The fact of the matter is that Alabama really shouldn't have been in a situation in which they needed a final touchdown to win with less than two minutes left. Alabama had far superior talent but they were outplayed and outcoached. They made mistakes and A&M didn't. That's fuel for success (For A&M). Gig'em
First, I will say I do not think that A&M will beat Bama. In fact, even though I'm an Aggie, I am also an SEC fan and I think Bama is the SEC's only shot at a 7th title barring Notre Dame/Oregon/K-State upsets. A one loss SEC team will not jump one of those teams if they are undefeated. All that said, what A&M does have going into that game is the experience of playing two top defenses already. They'll have a little bit more knowledge of how to beat those defenses. Besides, if the ball bounces our way a couple more times in the Florida game and there are a few less freshmen mistakes in the LSU game, A&M is 8-0 and ranked #2. HOWEVER, we did have those two teams at home. BDS is going to have a much better/much louder atmosphere than SMU/Ole Miss/LA Tech/Auburn/Miss State. How will this freshmen respond to such an atmosphere? I still think Bama wins but it won't be a 38-7 dismantling.
Why is the guy shooting himself in the foot by being insubordinate? Those coaches hold his college and his professional career in their hands.
I've agreed with pretty much all of your posts since I started following your site a year ago. However, it's pretty outlandish that you would want to condemn all Aggies because of one idiot. Aggies do not agree with what was said in that billboard and every Aggie knows those statements are unsubstantiated. 1. A&M struggled with NCAA Sanctions in the 80s and 90s 2. Florida has great academics, evident by the fact that it was apart of the AAU 16 years before A&M was. In addition, Mizzou has been in the AAU since 1908 and Vandy has been since 1950. 3. No Aggie refers to our fan base as "Aggie Nation". We are called simply "Aggies" or "Former Students" or if you are referring to the College Station area "Aggieland." Aggie Nation is never used. It's lame and when outsiders refer to us as Aggie Nation, we cringe.
Don't lump us all into one pot because of one faceless man. At least it wasn't some guy on the football team talking smack about Florida playing like Ohio State.
@Savannah guy Hmmm..Aggie Senior here graduating in May and I have to tell you...you're wrong. The Constitution of Texas as written in 1876 called it The University of Texas. Aggies call it tu because it is not THE university OF Texas. It's A university of Texas and it wasn't the first public university in the state or even the second. Texas A&M was the first and Prairie View A&M was the second. Texas, unlike most states, has two flagship universities created by the constitution as well as having permanent funding granted by the constitution, unlike other universities which require state appropriations. In addition we say tu not TU. Every good aggie knows that.
