  1. What? No. UT, OSU, USC, UGA, UM, LSU, & UO (While PK is alive) are all better jobs than a&m and it's not really close. Then you have the next tier with a lot of teams that are in similar boats as a&m but have actually done something the last 40 years: OU, ND, UF, FSU, Clemson, Bama, Auburn Then the tier that I think a&m is closer to in terms of just how good the job is: UW, PSU, Miami (maybe they belong in the tier above but they've been so bad for so long with no end in sight) A&M has no history, no brand that the general public cares about, is in an ass of a city, is surrounded by & forced to recruit against UT, OU, & LSU, & is currently employing a glorified G5 coaching staff. Could someone theoretically go there & change things? Sure, but that is not an easy fix & the dumpster fire that Jimbo left in his wake makes it even less appealing. If the SEC ever decides to go to a 9 game schedule & eliminate FCS opponents then a&m is going to fall from their 8-4 standard & have to fight to be 6-6 most years. They'll have surprisingly good years every so often, but the trajectory of that program is decidedly pointing down & I'm not sure where it stops.
  2. Kiffin has the gall to take it. I would be shocked to see Sark or Lanning take it. They're in great spots, why leave to face the pressure of taking over for the greatest coach the sport has known?
  3. Scared of having to face Elko every year in the SEC championship game. The Wiggins hire was the straw that broke the camels back.
  4. playing 10+ yards off on 3rd and 8 on all of their WRs is certainly one strategy.
  5. oof that hurt. balls bouncing right to them on the times we actually defend them well is not great.
  6. imagine having penix and their WRs that have been abusing us so far and deciding to test Sweat + Murphy twice instead.
  7. lol penix + adunze aren’t going to be stoppable tonight. if we’re not going to get pressure we’re going to have to score 80
  8. our defensive line seems to be slipping a lot
  9. if we’re going to blitz and still give Penix all the time in the world this is going to be a looooong night
  10. He's the new Waddle. Every mention of a "surprise WR" commit will be responded to with his name. He will be on the minds of hundreds of Surly posters on their deathbeds, having driven them mad. Their families, pushed away with their obsession, will only be able to shake their heads as "E-Stew" is whispered during the final breath.
  11. Boromir killed off plenty of the Uruk-hai after the first arrow, but the writing was on the wall. No clue if it'll end up being an accurate analogy, just want to start an LOTR tangent if possible.
  12. Other than him not traveling to LSU, are there more stories of him being a cancer at a&m? I don't remember many/any but I don't keep up with everything. I know he hurt our feelings in his recruitment and when he didn't enter the portal last year, but, depending on what he's asking for, I don't see why we shouldn't at least kick the tires & see if we can't make it work.
  13. 1st & 10: Screen pass to Worthy blown up because Mitchell didn’t come to UT to block. (implosion imminent) 2nd & 12: Sanders to the flat. Well covered so Ewers tucks it for 5 yards. (3…2…1…) 3rd & 7: Ewers throws dig route complete to Mitchell for 10 yards and a first down. (we are the greatest team of all time) 5 plays later we punt and we start looking for our new OC during the commercial break and wondering just how many TDs Arch would have gotten us on that first drive and how big of a deficit he could lead us back from in the 4th.
  14. yeah but don’t you know every team we’ve played this year has run a completely new defense that they haven’t shown on film. Every week it’s something new that they managed to install over the week. One team went straight punt block for the first quarter.
  15. The beauty of this team this year is there are 4 legitimate threats to get the ball, but 4th & 10 with the game on the line I'm going Mitchell then Sanders because of their ability to catch ball with guys all over them.
