  1. Goatifi with 11 straight sessions not making it out of Q1. The man is trying to set records on his way out of the sport.
  2. Yeah, it’s unfortunate that our perimeter shooting doesn’t look to have improved, which makes sense with the personnel losses and additions, but us actually pushing in transition could be a huge boon to the offense. Being a poor shooting team AND refusing to ever push are why our offense would go so long without scoring. Id prefer to have a good shooting team, but since Beard clearly prioritizes other traits, we can at least get some easy points and prevent long draughts through pushing the ball.
  3. Not nearly enough squid emojis used for me to believe this.
  4. Hey, winning even one game in Omaha is legendary for aggy standards.
  5. Personally I’m rooting for 5-7.It’s bad enough to kill the outside perception but good enough for all those desperate Ags to talk themselves back into believing in Jimbo. I want Jimbo to dry at A&M as long as possible. This is like his stint at FSU if he stayed four years longer and never won the title. I never understand people who say this. There’s no amount of difficulty aggy can conjure up that will make Jimbo leave for anything less than his full contract amount. He holds all the cards, not the other way around. Exactly. If I’m Jimbo, I continue to burn the program to the ground and get them to pay even more than the guaranteed amount to leave early. This is aggy after all, they are the unquestioned number one at negotiating against themselves. Sexton might be able to just sit at the table in silence and walk out with $120 million.
  6. It definitely feels like there’s plays that we should check out of, but we don’t. Not sure how much falls on Sark versus Ewers.
  7. The NCCA has waived that rule for the past two years and even before when it was a rule, it was easy to circumvent. In other words, DONT WORRY ABOUT THE MOTHERFUCKING NUMBERS!
  8. He’s been below average in 1 of his last 3 games. Clamoring for Card is unbelievably dumb and clearly just idolizing the backup QB.
  9. This is just flat out wrong. We generally get killed when we play man. We’ve been better in zone than man over the course of the year. KSU was one of the few exceptions.
  10. This is nonsense. They definitely ran some zone beaters but those plays can still be covered if your defense is well-coached and knows how to execute. It’s also not as simple as flooding a zone. There are plenty of different types of zone coverage calls that can counter a simple flood. Our problem is poor coaching/poor player recognition, not that certain play calls are just unstoppable in zone. Our defense is 90th in EPA on pad plays and our EPA MARGIN IS 79th on defense. This seems a lot more like what we’ve been watching most weeks than the FEI/SP+ rankings that have us around 25th. I believe the EPA numbers above are unadjusted, but it still seems like those are closer to how we’re playing. Also interesting that our D is 8th in the country in not giving up firsts on 1st or 2nd Don, while TCU’s O is 6th in the country on early down EPA. I think we’ll force them into way more 3rd downs than they’re used to. Whether we can actually get stops is a different question.
  11. Seriously, he just said “now that the playing field has been leveled and we can’t get ahead by cheating anymore, I’m going to quit following recruiting and the sport is ruined for me.”
  12. We need more posts like this from the Ags. This is monumentally stupid reasoning even for aggy. The locker room is falling apart, players are quitting, transferring and decommitting in-season, yet they need to keep Jimbo so the locker room doesn’t implode. But hey, whatever they have to tell themselves to fight to keep Jimbo is a brilliant idea in my book.
  13. I was impressed with how dumb your first post seemed, but then you come in with this and totally blow the first post out of the water. Bravo sir, bravo.
  14. Disu is looking really good, which is the biggest thing I wanted to see. We need him to be back to his Vandy form to reach our ceiling.
  15. “The Tigers had seemingly grabbed a whole of that recruitment in the last month.” JFC that is bad even for TexAgs writing standards.
  16. My sources tell me the growth in Weigman’s wing span from all the lost weight is really messing with his throwing motion. He’ll probably need to sit out the rest of the year to get it corrected.
  17. I don’t think so. NFL teams want disruption more than a big guy who can plug the run. Sweat looks better physically, but he lacks explosiveness and pash rush upside. Coburn has shown way more ability to rush the passer and just generally been better than Sweat this year. This is the biggest problem. Our DTs have been dominant and yet our defense still has a ton of issues. The defense will fall off a cliff next year if we keep PK but lose Coburn, Sweat, Ojomo. I think it’s some fo both. Coburn recognized this was his last chance to get drafted high. But with all three of Sweat, Ojomo, and Coburn playing significantly better, you have to put a lot of blame on the coaches for last year.
  18. This is such a laughably bad take. Almost as bad as when you were convinced Malachi Nelson was going to flip to aggy because they paid him for a visit.
  19. Crawford has been one of our worst players on defense this year. Every time he’s in the game he’s messing up assignments and making mistakes. He’s unplayable. He has the athleticism to play CB, yet the staff moved him from there to a more mentally challenging position. That was always a bad sign.
  20. I figured we’d be favored, but not by nearly this much. TCU is a 6-2 team with an easy schedule parading around at 8-0.
  21. It’s very hard to say if we go 2-1 because it would be based on tiebreakers that won’t be known who they favor until more games have been played, but it would likely be a 3 way tie that could go any way. So the only way to be at all confident in getting into the CCG is winning out.
