    During the last few years they have grown really accustom to losing at Kyle. I don’t think it holds the same weight anymore. It barely even warrants comments on TexAgs anymore.

     

    whoop!

    you and the other guy are missing the point

    every Aggie on planet Earth knows it's silly but secretly has sincere hopes that Jimbo's big turnaround will be complete by the time Alabama comes to Kyle in 2019. in the Aggie's secret heart of hearts, he just knows that after they go 8-5 or 9-4 or 10-3 this year and sign all of the best recruits in the whole wide world, they will start 2019 near the top ten and when they beat Alabama, that will vault them to #1 in the polls, and they'll win out that season and win the national title and never lose again for the foreseeable future as per Joel Osteen's Aggie Prosperity Prophecy

    these are Aggies we are talking about, they know deep down it's fucking silly as hell but they can't help themselves

    when they get their asses beat down at Kyle by Bama next year, it will be the first time they admit to themselves that Fisher doesn't have all the answers and isn't a magician and isn't playing 4-D chess to everyone else's Chutes and Ladders

  2. this week I'll take Alabama 52-15, but only after a very slow start-- I doubt they'll be up by more than 10-14 at halftime and then the third quarter will look exactly like the last 57 minutes of the Ole Miss game

    would not be surprised to see A&M try the TCU kickoff return fakeout, seems like the kind of shit Jimbo would borrow thinking it's super clever

    how much you want to bet that Bob also believes the typical Aggie bullshit that the 2012 A&M team was "as good as anyone in the country" and/or "woulda won the national title if we'da stayed in the Big 12!" etc etc, while simultaneously thinking it was an historic upset for that A&M team to beat Bama?

    seems to me it's one or the other

    This is the correct behavior. We continue to play Charlie Brown to Hermeh's/Shaka's Lucy and the payoff is never there. 

    I've pretty much been an idiot about our coaching hires since I graduated. They've all been great, super, I can't wait hires. I was happy about Mack Brown, happy about Charlie Strong, happy about Rick Barnes, happy about Shecky Smart, excited about Tom Pollo Hermano. At this point, my attitude towards anyone we hire's going to be "welcome to Texas, win some fucking ballgames without building rape stands in the locker room or outsourcing recruiting to FedEx and we can be friends".

    Our relationship with these thin-skinned midwits needs to be a Peggy Olsen/Don Draper deal.

    Coach: "You never say thank you!"

    Fans: "THAT'S WHAT THE MONEY IS FOR!"

    If "he coddles his players and uses too much coachspeak" is seriously your biggest complaint under Shaka

    for me it's the constant losing of basketball games

    This thread amuses me. Not sure why.

    for me it's when a white dude in his 60s implies he knows more about basketball than "a fan" because he played college ball four decades ago

    Huh, I agree on Tyson 2000.

    Imma go ahead and say Texas is Ali though not sure 1980 would be the year Id pick. Much as a I love Tyson, Ali is Ali.

    2000 Tyson vs 2008 Hollyfield is the ones I'd go with... (Boxing talk not going away) Ali was way bigger than boxing. As much as I love Texas Football, they will never make the impact of Ali. (Huge Ali fan, both boxer and cultural)

    End boxing nerd talk.

    we are neither Ali or Holyfield, we are clearly Gentleman Jim Corbett circa 1932

    He knew he was going to be wearing Clempson stuff when he made the bet, yet did it anyway..

    originally he offered to wear a Clemson bra-panties-and-garters ensemble but the guy he bet with talked him out of it

    NO REALLY I'LL WEAR THAT SHIT 

    that's OK Mike, just a t-shirt, t-shirt's fine

    The difference was that Texas and Notre Dame played on national TV on Sunday night and it was the first game of the season (and was very exciting, especially given that the Horns were destroyed the year before). Both teams have already shit the bed this year. No one is going to say the winner of this game is back and going to the playoffs.

    that's really something

    man this place is great

    I know you’ve probably broken you arm or dislocated your shoulder patting yourself on the back. Hell you might have even messed up a disc in your neck trying to suck your own dick. But don’t get it twisted. The only thing you got correct about the aggy-Clemson game was it not being a blow out. Clemson didn’t sit all their good players to keep them healthy. They had them in the whole game.

    oh OK

  11. I would prefer to see a proven head coach than us going long on another guy's projected ceiling, which is what we did with Herman. I think our appetite for former Ohio State staffers is probably reduced by their off-season scandal and by Herman's first 15 games. But, if Ohio State blows TCU out this weekend, prepare for a lot of questions about Ryan Day, their interim HC while Urban Meyer is suspended.

    I would like us to go after Gus Malzahn, but that's because I like his offense, not because I think he'd be an ideal fit or would necessarily be the answer to recruiting. 

  12. I guess what I would say on Texas-SC is that I fear both teams are as bad as they've looked thus far. It might be a repeat of 2016 Texas-Notre Dame (edit, in that regard, both teams are worse than expected, not meaning it will be a 50-47 shootout). USC's offense was so bad against Stanford that it's hard to imagine them going on the road and putting up a big enough number to beat an average offensive output (around 28 points). I think that Texas controlling its turnovers is the biggest factor in the game. If we'd held onto the ball against Maryland, we likely would have won by 10+. Assuming the second half wet fart against Tulsa was just a stretch of bad football and not our best effort, I'll say Texas 23, USC 20, on a last-second field goal, but no one walks away happy from this one. We're going to look like garbage again and so will USC.

    How will Texas do this weekend against usc?

    A lot less obvious than Aggy-Clemson. I thought Aggy-NWSt, Aggy-CLemson, and Texas-Maryland were all obvious. Texas-Tulsa, I was way off on-- I expected us to win that one by 35+. So I'm a blind squirrel more than anything else, but I never had a doubt A&M would lose by less than a TD to Clemson. 

  14. In the SEC, they've been to Bama, Auburn, LSU, and Ole MIss (which isn't a great in-game environment per se but has great tailgating). They went to Florida once in the midst of a severe, prolonged down spell in Florida football. They haven't traveled to Georgia or Tennessee yet. 

    What else? A&M hasn't played (at) Michigan since 1977, Notre Dame since 2000 (in the fourth year of a prolonged slump), Ohio State since 1970, Penn State since 1979 (and Penn State's home environment has improved drastically over the past 15 years). They haven't played at USC since 1964 or Washington since 1989, and they've never played at Oregon or played in an actual Rose Bowl. They did play a little over half a game at the Rose Bowl stadium against UCLA, which has never been accused of having an interesting home presence.

    I have a vendor (t-shirt ag who went to SWT) who always is inviting me to go to games with him. I always turn him down.

    "Seriously, it's the best atmosphere on college football. You have to go at least one time."

    "No it's not and no I don't." 

    yeah cause Aggie fans have traveled to so many great college football atmospheres against which to compare

    Everyone thought Clemson would destroy aggy 

    not if you were paying attention

    Clemson will do the bare minimum to get out of there with a win. No sense leaving high value players in there to slip and slide around and tweak a hamstring while ahead three touchdowns. 

    Before the forecast was Biblical rain, I said Clemson would win 38-34. It's hard to imagine a shootout in a downpour, but I still think A&M covers. They're not devoid of talent and they'll shoot their 2018 wad tonight while Clemson will be eager to just get back on the plane and get out of there.

    Interesting note: OU’s backup QB is out, so it’s walk-on or true Freshman if they want to pull Kyler. 

    Why would they want to pull him? It's not 222-0 yet.

    One thing you can count on pretty much every year is, hearing "Wow, people really criticized <aspect of OU's program> last year, but they've clearly turned over a new leaf, this is a totally new OU!" every fucking September during a walkover win.
