    Doesn’t matter who the new coach is most on this site will crap their pants about how Texas is now screwed. It could be bozo the clown and there will be entire threads on how he is the next Saban and we suck. 

    that is correct, we are going to knock this out of the fucking park*

    The spreads dropped about 1.5 points across the board earlier today at the same time. Either a syndicate was hitting the books at the same time due to betting limits going up, or the books got word that Max is out, and previously had a "split the baby line" (a typical QB line move is 3 points, give or take)

    generally betting on anything surrounding your own team ends poorly as there is far too much overthinking going on . . . but i'm not sure the reasonable argument for these two teams getting to 43 combined points. or perhaps 23.

    so Texas A&M has incredibly flawed position rooms at LB, Safety and CB? and their DC hasn't adjusted their scheme at all to help protect the DBs?

    it's actually a pretty solid lb room between cooper, york and a finally-improving chris russell. durkin has made a real difference here. safeties are hurt / haven't been as good as expected and cb just doesn't have the bodies. i think he's chosen to say fuck it, i'm going to blitz you every down rather than drop 8 and have death by a million cuts as we saw at miami. either way probably gets you beat against a kiffin offense.

    This is the first offense worth a fuck that ATM has played all season. Every other opponent has either been comically inept or tragically flawed. 

    agreed, more or less. that doesn't make the front 7 any less talented, it's not their fault the secondary is made of a bunch of dudes running 4.7's coached by a ga.

    You're overrating ATM's front 7 at this point. They have injuries, little LB depth, and the scheme blows. You, me, and another random from this board could go out there against SCar and throw their OL around, so there's nothing to read from that performance. 

    your schadenfreude is blinding you. the front 7 is playing as well as anyone in the country and the scheme has actually been substantially tweaked, to the point i'm convinced durkin is telling jimbo to shut the fuck up anytime he tells him to play it more conservative. (highlight this when ole miss runs for 300 again.)

    it's the rest of the plane built out of flammable twine that is going to lead to kiffin running it up.

    Like a lot of old men having their first kid, they are insufferable. Yeah Jr, we dealt with diapers in our 20’s. In the meantime post some nekkid pics of your hot wife.

    "did you guys know that [says something literally everyone over the age of 9 knows that humans do] happens to young children? amazing."

    also the pics of the big man in nyc have him looking . . . big. hope george is feeling well.

  7. for anyone subscribing to dumb zone podcasts . . how is the listening experience? most podcasts i end up listening to a day or 3 (or month) later, and i just don't know how much life affords listening to them immediately / how much i will care about listening to their cowboys takes a week later.

    We always enjoy your breakdowns of the oncoming season for the aggies. 

    You never really go into the schedule as part of your analysis, but it varies so much from year to year that it plays a big role. The opener should be a cakewalk, but that was presumed about SHSU last season. I actually think it will be somewhat telling. If it's a blowout for 40+ points, the floor should be considered higher for the season. If it's another 30-0 kind of snoozer, that wouldn't make me feel good if I was a fan.

    Then @ Miami, and who knows what happens with either team heading into that one? Down the line a stretch of Auburn (who Freeze is telling recruits is going to suck this season, so, yeah), neutral Arkansas, Bama, @Tennessee over a 4 week stretch seems tough. It is that string of games which should test ATM's depth. If they navigate it without a slew of injuries and go 2-2 or better record during those games, ATM will probably have a good season.

    Depth seems like it is easily the biggest risk on the season. Stay healthy and good things happen. Get hurt at WR, OL, LB, or CB and you're in trouble. Then there's the whole team culture and staff culture thing, which could be a problem.

    honestly, i can barely keep up with our roster in the transfer era, much less what others are doing. agreed that the opener will be interesting, especially as new mexico will throw a ton of shit at a relatively questionable oline. auburn will be interesting but if we can't beat hugh freeze in year one . . . well, there are bigger issues at play. 

    don't see any possible issues with culture, should be great there.

    Don't start sandbagging on us now. Where is the prediction post? It's about that time of year again. 

    not going to lie, having spent the previous 60 days in bozeman i am more disconnected from collegiate football than i have ever been, however that will not stop me from making my always 100% accurate season prediction this week as soon as i sober up.
