There’s a strange comfort in knowing that despite certain periods where it appears aggy might be about to grasp the reality of their current situation, they inevitably will revert back to propaganda and unrealistic expectations.

For a university that obsesses about traditions, it is unquestionably their strongest one.

Bringing back your entire offensive line plus two more former starters is the kind of stuff that contenders are built on.

How many point did the aggie offense (with this line) score against Texas?

I love this guy. I think he's the one who did a stealth bicycle recon of the 40 Acres last season to report on our dispositions and strategies.

If they beat Auburn, they go to a better bowl game that they may have won to get to 10 wins just like 2020!!!! USC was murder in that bowl game.

I laughed reading his post and knowing you'd seize upon it. Hahaha. What a fucking goober that guy is. They always do it. They absolutely dominate the imaginary wins landscape in college sports.

You and I had the same thought. This is a new development in their behavior. They're glomming onto the notion that bowl games have become meaningless, therefore, they're going to stop counting them (when they lose, only). This phenomenon is the other bookend on the spectrum of made up records to fit whatever narrative they need in order to feel better about their outlook. On one hand, ATM is undefeated in games they never actually played, and on the other hand, they get to actively remove whatever losses they actually incur when they can justify those outcomes as "meaningless".

That loss was cancelled out by their Spring game win.

Yet they love to talk about their Orange Bowl win against 4 loss UNC that was sitting out their two NFL running backs and best WR.  That season was such a joke yet Liucci loves to cite it as evidence that they were so close and were on the precipice of being elite.

Their best win was at home by three points against a 4 loss Florida team that the Big 12 second place team beat by 35.  They beat a garbage 0-9 Vanderbilt team at home by 5 points.  They played one good team, Alabama, who beat the everyloving shit out of them.  But per Liucci that was a top 4 A&M team as good as any of the last two Texas teams that lost close games in the semifinals.

If ever a bowl game was meaningless, it was the 2020 covid Orange Bowl where UNC's offense opted out of the game while A&M played at full strength.

I once was on a flight to Vegas with two Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders sitting next to me. I was so close to a threesome.

Don't forget they ignored the practice rules all season.

Don’t forget, the next bowl season they opted out (🐔) of playing the juggernaut Wake Forest Demon Deacons two weeks prior to the game, claiming their team (& 12th Man) were “decimated” by covid.

Aggy will never realize it’s a right skewed distribution every year, and 70k students isn’t enough…

120k students it is then.
-Aggy probably

The good news, eventually, we may run out of Aggy!

Now replace preseason with accepted to Aggy… October with 12th Man big $ donor, add 84 years to the right.

ESPN released their FPI ratings;  Texas was #1, our Agroid brethren came in at #11.

In the "Which team is FPI overvaluing?" section, the first two were A&M and Texas.

Here are the write-ups for the two teams ... the tone of the two is - ahem - a little different 😂  😂  😂.

 

 TEXAS

AGGIES (This could have been written by a Surly-ite ... 🤣.)

Every year I over-rate the Aggies. And they then proceed to underachieve. But I look at their roster and it’s really not that great. They do have a better head coach than in the past, but the rest of the staff is questionable. So if I’m thinking the ceiling is 8-4, then history would suggest 7-5 or 6-6, and it’s only that good because of such a weak schedule.

The usual Surly routine is wondering how they get to a winning record, so they disappoint in that regard as well. 

Here's an unprejudiced question: what indicates Elko is a better coach than in the past? Was there a game last year when he distinguished himself as a head coach? Their close loss to Notre Dame is, I suppose, the best place to look. He had a good season for Duke, but, so far, I don't see anything special about Elko apart from his snappy on-the-field wardrobe.

To me, at best, he's unproven. Their collapse at the end of last season was nightmarish (for them). Where are the good signs? It's quite possible that I've missed them as I'm nothing of a football savant.

I think they have already reached the goal of being the best program they are capable of being. 

I've laughed every time I've browsed the thread. Epic.

He's a slightly more experienced Michael Earley and a much less expressed Bucky McMillan. That's about all I have.

I don't think Elko has a great roster to work with honestly.  It's the Jimmys and the Joes, not the Xs and the Os.

When they talk about Elko being something other than possibly above average, it’s usually based on the superficial review of his record for two years at Duke. If folks dug deeper on that performance, they’d see that Duke beat like one team with a winning record each season. 

His performance last season was dogshit. They started out ranked and climbed over time against a bunch of dogshit opponents and then fell apart and finished unranked. The analytics supported mediocre results. They underperformed expectations.

Their roster this year is worse. No one besides our board is giving it a critical review. The national idiots just do what they always do - talk about ATM realistically directly after the season and then let Liucci and the rest of the ATM clowns hype the program into preseason rankings.

His best 'coaching ' was Brian Kelly and Drink not preparing for the correct quarterbacks.

Yep. York is getting pre-season AA hype to go along with 1st round NFL mocks. It's incredible how over-rated he is, going to be interesting to see it play out without the DL protection he had his 1st two seasons.
