    Looks like someone forgot that we actually played each other this year, so they can't do the crazy triangulation justification they've done for the past 10+ years to prove that they're better anymore.  Poor aggy.

    I think it is honestly hard to say that Levitt did not outperform Ewers.

    With the game on the line Ewers threw a beautiful TD on 4th and forever to save the season.  Levitt threw a pick.

  3. He played hard and backed up his shit talk on the field.

    He was still annoying as fuck with his over the top theatrics and I enjoyed watching him melt when they lost. 

    I'm 100% certain he rehearsed a "no respect" post game speech for when they won.

    The one thing Elko was supposedly doing right was getting rid of the attitude problems and establishing a better culture. It was why so many players left last year and he replaced them with G5 jags.

    But the portal moves with Hudson and now Humphrey demonstrate he panicked and just went back to the same Jimbo Fisher well: players with lots of stars and other issues. I think that’s going to backfire, big time. 

    It's early, but it seemed to me like Elko really did want to wash the Jimbo culture stink off of that team.

    My guess is that he was given the leash to do that right up until he lost to dadgum tu, being "physically annihilated" in the process, and now he's being told to load up on stars at all costs.

    That schedule and the mediocrity of the SEC this year really did produce a lot of smoke and mirrors for the aggies. The money is fatigued and hoping they really are “that close”. 

    I mean, you just summed up why they'll never get there. 

    To make drastic changes, you have to admit that you're very far from where you want to be. 

    Aggy's pride will never let them admit that they're so far off (and particularly not while we're clearly doing well) and so they find signs to cling to and believe they're "on the precipice" of something great. 

    Since they never admit they're far off, they're unwilling to do what they need to do to change, so they stay the same. 

    Rinse, repeat.

    When reviewing targeting was first happening, seems like the only thing the review decided was if the player got ejected or not  but the penalty yardage would still apply...is that a recent change or am I misremembering?

    I think that applies if there's a penalty without the targeting.  For instance, roughing the passer, with targeting.  You can lose the targeting and still have the penalty. 

    If it's only a penalty of targeting, I think if you lose targeting you lose the penalty.

    Based on what I've seen this year, officials have actually been better about reversing targeting calls that turn out to be incidental contact. Which is exactly what the Mukuba hit was.

    Anything that looks bad still draws a flag, but it seems like it's been a point of emphasis to not be so idiotically strict if two helmets happen to graze each other. Reversing targeting used to be rare. Feels like we've seen it at least 2-3 times in our games this season.

    I hadn't really noticed, but if so that's really good development.  It felt for a while that they'd gone overboard with interpretation of the rule.  There have been plenty of calls in the last few years that clearly were not targeting for what the rule is meant to prevent, but upheld.  It's good to hear if this is changing.  This was definitely a "not targeting by intent" call.

    Mukuba didn’t initiate the helmet contact. I think that’s why they didn’t call it. His head was in front of the receiver’s. 

    Agree.  That's why I was hoping they'd overturn it, but honestly didn't think they would.

    The receiver's head snapped to the side, it was clearly forcible contact. I think it still isn't targeting though because there's not an indicator. Technically you could argue that Mukuba led with his head because that's what made first contact but he was clearly trying to lead with his shoulder. Again, that's why I say it was a close call, it was absolutely in the gray area of the rule. 

    It's the only call I was surprised was overturned.  It wasn't targeting, but it was close enough to the letter of the rule that I assumed they'd keep the call from the field. 

    Glad they didn't, but surprised. 

    The other two overturned calls were pretty obvious.

    So instead of The Lottery it would be The Jizzery.  Everyone on campus has to blow a sheep at one of the many the glory holes, but the catch is that 12 of the sheep are black and if you get one of those they put you into their bonfire structure and collapse it before the burn.   "Thanksgiving Jizzery equals Texas victory!" instead of ''Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon. ''
