  1. I remember 1983 a little differently.
  2. Jesus Christ. Four paragraphs of "that's when I became a true Aggie"-style moral victory blather. A LLM trained entirely on TexAgs posts couldn't have done better. For anyone curious, A&M lost to blOU that day, got whipped 43-17 by Texas a week later, suffered an upset loss to Mississippi State in a frigid snow-filled Independence Bowl and finished the year 7-5. Truly an inspiring season.
  3. Baked Alaska is damn good stuff.
  4. Title claims based on retroactive rankings are stupid and I will die on this hill. If no poll or system considered you the No. 1 team in the land at the end of the season (before or after bowl games), the matter is settled. Claiming the national title based on a ranking invented many years later is just a lazy attempt at rewriting history to your benefit. I guarantee you that if Sark makes it to the top of the mountain and wins a national title at some point, A&M will retroactively claim the 1917 national title to try and keep pace. It doesn't actually make that long-dead 1917 squad national champions. I would feel similarly if Texas ever attempted to claim the 1914, 1918 or 1920 teams as national champions. The 1941 team is a bit different because the Williamson system named us national champions at the time, but given that we didn't win the SWC that year I doubt we'd entertain claiming that season in this day and age.
  5. Select as many variables as you want, then flatten the data to two dimensions with PCA and use something like k-means to cluster the schools around centroids. I suspect the result will look a lot like the AP overall vs. AP top 5 graph
  6. http://cfbcomparer.com/ap-poll-leaders we passed Nebraska a while back in AP poll appearances, and we're nipping at USC's heels with AP top 5 appearances it's the reverse
  7. Never heard of "Hruodland" but that looks like a Speedmaster 1045 ripoff.
  8. Combining the recent practice notes paints a pretty negative picture of the O-line. * Still struggling with penalties, even with Cam Williams gone * Still can't run inside and has to lean on OZ as a crutch * Still getting stonewalled in red zone situations All the same weaknesses from last year, with much less experience and depth at the tackle positions. This is not where the OL should be heading into year 5.

  11. I was told I was a pessimist and a doomer for worrying about Cojoe's injury and our O-line depth. Surprise surprise, Burton is worried as well. And LOL at the notion that the Doak Walker Award watch list means anything. Le'Veon Moss and Reuben Owens are on it as well, I guess that means A&M has a stacked RB room? https://ncfaa.org/awards/doak-walker-award

  14. Josh Pate just left 247Sports for On3. Probably the death knell for the former.
  15. Broughton decided to decapitate Pavia for no reason at all to negate that pick-six. It was entirely self-inflicted on our part.
  16. Maybe their plan is to get our entire secondary tossed on targeting calls
  17. Was curious about this, so I had to look up our highest preseason rankings from the DKR days. 1964 - coming off national title, we were ranked #4 behind Mississippi, blOU and Dick Butkus' Illinois. All three of them lost early and underwhelmed that year. We were definitely under-ranked and probably should have been preseason #1. 1970 - coming off national title #2, we were ranked #2 behind Ohio State (who won in '68 and nearly again in '69 before Michigan stunned them at the end of the season). Both Texas and tOSU had undefeated regular seasons, we jumped ahead of Ohio State to #1 in the middle of the year for some reason. 1971 - coming off national title #3, we were ranked #3 behind Notre Dame and Nebraska. Can't complain given that Nebraska went full juggernaut that season.
  18. Scott Dochterman: Who’s overranked and underrated in the top 25?
  19. Mohammed Siraj just bowled the spell of a lifetime to win India the fifth Test match and draw the series against England.
  20. Devastating loss. Offensive tackle was already one of our weakest position groups in terms of depth. Lack of elite options at RB and the current state of the O-line just makes Manning's job harder.
