  1. They have not had back to back winning seasons in conference games since Bill Clinton was president. That’s astounding. Haven’t played for a conference title since 1998. Where they won in a fluke game against a better team
  2. Isn’t that the game Cook dropped what would have been an easy 60 yard TD?
  3. The Irby injury was the one that made me sick. Seemed to happen almost in slow motion. He was never the same.
  4. It got to the point where if I saw a top 100 recruit have some sort of combination of Oregon, LSU, Auburn, Alabama, Georgia, A&M (Fisher era), I’d know with almost certainty we weren’t getting the recruit.
  5. A true freshman who put up the numbers he did in 9 games with an awful qb might be a little better than you think he is. We will see.
  6. Mateer looks like a poor man’s Sam Ehlinger to me. That’s the best comp I’ve got. He’s much better than what they had last year when they had perhaps the worst qb room in the P4. But that’s not saying much.
  7. There are people on here who post about football that add value and are insightful. You’re not one of them.
  8. I wasn’t super impressed either until later in season. But Gerry always said he needed a year to develop his body. And he was getting rave reviews prior to getting hurt. Saban also praised him effusively.
  9. Expressing skepticism about a RB being 100 percent based on other running backs who had the same injury or even less severe knee injuries and their recovery is making stuff up. You’re not this dumb. Come on. Do you not remember everyone being shocked about Peterson’s season when he blew out a couple ligaments?
  10. Baxter had very high expectations in year two. They were expecting a big jump in his per play and total stats. Gerry always said Baxter needed a year in the s&c program to really be the player he could be. He was being raved about prior to his injury. Again, I hope he bucks the odds and is 100 percent in year one after the injury. I’m assuming given his character he’s absolutely worked his ass off.
  11. No. I didn’t say “I don’t think he’s healthy enough to be a difference maker”. I said I was skeptical he would be given the nature of his injury given other running backs’ recoveries from multiple ligament tears. I won’t know until we see him play. I’m just expressing caution. I don’t know. Neither do you. I’d be very happy if he produces per play and total stats he had his freshman year. But for the injury I’d be expecting a lot more. He was being talked up and compared to Edgerrin James before he blew out multiple ligaments.
  12. Pretty much all I was saying. I have doubts he will be 100 percent back this year. I think it’s more likely he will be healthier in 2026. It’s not uncommon for backs off a serious knee injury to not be 100 percent until year two. I didn’t think this was a controversial take. But I hope he’s 100 percent back and has a great year. Him going down in camp last year probably cost us a game or two.
  13. We won’t know until the season starts. I’d be cautious in expecting much. Maybe he has an Adrian Peterson recovery. But that is the exception to the general rule. It’s why people made such a big deal out of his year immediately after the injury. Returning to same form in year one is uncommon.
  14. I’ll wear that as a badge of honor from you. I don’t want you agreeing with anything I say based on your takes.
  15. What is your point? That I’m dumb for having doubts that Baxter may not be 100 percent one year after blowing out all three ligaments in his knee? Are you immune to common sense? Let’s hear some more of your takes on how good Malik Murphy and Juan Davis are. It’s like you pick the worst players on offense each year to hype up.
  16. You haven’t seen running backs who’ve blown out all three ligaments in their knee take more than a year to really be back? It’s kind of a common thought. Owning this board gives you credibility with a lot of posters. But it doesn’t stop you from having a lot of dumbass takes on football. Adrian Peterson is the exception, not the rule. And he tore one ligament. Not three. Statistically most running backs with just an acl tear take two years to get back. Some never get back. The most recent examples of one tearing multiple ligaments are Nick Chubb and Javonte Williams. Go look at their numbers after injury. Williams has bounced back in year 2. Chubb probably is going to get cut in his second year back.
  17. The nature of his injury. I’d be surprised if he’s all the way back this year. I won’t be surprised if next year at this time everyone is talking about how fantastic he looks and he’s then really 100 percent recovered from his injury. And then his 2026 stats will bear a difference. We will see. I hope he’s 100 percent. I just have my doubts. Would love to be wrong.
  18. I am skeptical about Baxter being healthy enough to be a difference maker this year. I hope he is. Because I love his makeup and leadership. And understand the was poised to break out in a big way last year pre injury.
  19. The best part is them pointing out they’ve only played like 4 true P5 road games in the last decade 20 years or whatever the time frame is. Yeah. That’s kind of the point. Your average 8-4 unranked season is still misleading given the pussy non conference the Ags normally play. They are so close to getting it when they make that point.
  20. Trust the Elk. Instead of spending his time working on his diet and exercising, he’s been in the film room studying. And eating triple cheeseburgers. Don’t let his 4x moo moo fool you. The man has been working hard.
  21. Billy lost a bunch of weight a few years ago. He found a bunch of it last year from what it appeared on his podcast a few months ago.
  22. The Liucci model. Charge Aggies to tell them what they want to hear. Got to respect that. It’s a sin to let suckers keep their money.
