And it was, like, 3 degrees and windy in the upper deck of the Cotton Bowl. Spent the entire ride home checking for frostbite.

Stan Thomas is still a legend. 

Russell Maryland is an even bigger legend. 

I knew when Chris Samuels got his head blown clean off during the opening kickoff return it was going to be a long, cold day.

funny thing i was thinking about, if you look at the peaks of the various teams in texas over a 20 year period A&M barely squeaks over Tech and Houston in terms of accomplishments and was quickly eclipsed by SMU this year 

Championships - Texas x1

Championship Appearances - Texas x2 and TCU x1

Playoff Appearances - Texas x2, SMU x1 , and TCU x1

Conference Championships - Texas, SMU, TCU , Baylor 

NY6 - Texas, TCU , Baylor , A&M x1 

------

* Other Texas Teams  - Tech , Houston

 

Add in 10+ win seasons and it looks even worse.

I remember looking forward to going to take a piss in the piss troughs because the men’s room was the only place you could warm up. It was warm because of the warm piss in the open troughs. A damp, piss-smelling warmth.

Had just got out of the service, my 1st University of Texas Football game.  It was absolutely miserable.  You either love it or you hate it.

So, in true aggy fashion, if you don't have success, try to find your way back into the Big 12?  Way to go, CW!

You kids today have no idea what the '95 Sugar Bowl was like.

I sort of remember that, as in, I went to the game my senior year of college, and vaguely remember a few sober moments during our time in New Orleans.  We led at halftime, and then shit the bed the second half.  Oh well, we got the last Southwest Conference title that year, and my first ever trip to New Orleans.  On the ride back to our hotel my little brother got sick, so we made him stick his head out of the window, and when we arrived there was a nice spattering of hurricane-colored puke all over the side of the Suburban.

2012 is a maybe too if you look at the final BCS Standings

Bye:

ND

Bama (SEC Champ)

Stanford(PAC 10 Champ)

KSU (Big 12 Champ)

 

At Large:

FSU (ACC Champ)

Wisconsin (Big 10 Champ)

 

Pretty Clearly ranked ahead:

Florida (11-1) - beat A&M

Oregon (11-1)

Georgia (11-2) - 2nd loss in SEC Champ Game

LSU (10-2) - beat A&M (24-19); 2 losses to Bama and Florida

 

Leaves two spots for:

SCAR (10-2) - Losses to LSU, Florida. DNP A&M

OU (10-2) - Losses to KSU, ND. (Lost to A&M in Cotton Bowl 41-14)

Clemson (10-2) - Losses to FSU, SCAR

A&M (10-2) - 2 losses to LSU, Florida

Northern Ill (12-1) - if they had a guaranteed sport for a non power 5, like they kinda do now

 

I think they make it as the 11th or 12th seed because of their win over Bama, but it would be pretty damn close

 

 

So they get into every playoff that never existed? Sounds about right for aggy.

I don't think it helped that we encountered half the team out partying for New Year's at the same bars we were, the night before the game...

A&M is going to be really bad next year based on their roster. It's quite possible OU and A&M have both hired their Charlie Strongs at the same time (OU has with 100% certainty, they are dumpster fire right now). I'm not convinced Elko is that bad of a hire (maybe closer to a Herman), but things aren't looking great at any position of importance. Fortunately for them their schedule is very manageable next year (especially if LSU continues to be mid), so they might grab another 8 win season.

Texas A&M football fans should be furious after SEC essentially hands them scheduled loss


The SEC schedule release came down this evening, finally revealing the dates of each team's games. We already knew when certain non-conference matchups were set to take place, but now fans get to see exactly how the slate plays out over the course of the season.


After taking a look at the slate that the conference gave to Texas A&M football, I have only one conclusion. Aggie fans should be absolutely steamed with the way the SEC built this schedule for A&M.

The first thing that jumps out at you is that the Aggies go over a month without a home game— right in the middle of the conference slate. After the Ags play Florida on October 11, they won't return home until November 15, when they play the South Carolina Gamecocks.

That's bad enough, from a fan's perspective. But even worse is what this means for the Aggies, prospectively.

As I covered a while ago, winning back to back games on the road in the SEC is the rarest of all birds. Before this season, it had only been done 8 times in 78 such occurrences over the last decade, and 3 times in 38 occurrences over the last five years (the same disclaimer applies here as in the linked article: this tally does not include trips to Nashville or games separated by a bye week).

Those three teams were 2019 LSU, 2022 Georgia, and 2023 Alabama; in other words, two national champions and a top-4 team. Each of these teams had a "down" performance in one half of said back to back, but were able to overcome it when all was said and done.


This year, there were 5 such occurrences; teams won both games in zero of them. This includes Ole Miss's loss to LSU— which looks increasingly inexplicable the further away we get.

The Aggies were saddled with just such a scheduling albatross this year, and it couldn't have come at a worse time. This is the first year that the Southwest Classic will not be played at Jerryworld since 2014, and that means the Aggies are traveling to Fayetteville the week before they head to Death Valley. Had that contract still been in place, A&M doesn't have to face this stretch.

Even so, it would have been taxing, as— though a bye week comes after LSU— A&M has to turn right back around to head on the road to Missouri. This is a schedule built to give the Aggies the worst possible late-season draw.


What I'm saying is this: this could be a far-improved Aggie team next year that ends with a similar record. There are simply too many things working against them with these home-road splits. Prepare yourself for thinkpieces about whether Elko is building teams that can finish out the season— after this year and what we're looking at for next season, reporters are no doubt already typing them up.

 

Meh, they miss UGA, Bama, Tennessee and Ole Miss.  How much easier could the league make it for those goobers?

Oh, and Pat, we have a month without a home game, too, so shut the fuck up.

Does he mean they can end up 8 & 4 once again when they are a juggernaut of a team that is ranked ahead of Texas in next years power rankings.

Bro, what? Aggy is perfectly positioned to make a championship run. First, they stumped the conference by faking that they had the best coach possible, then FIRING HIM MID-SEASON, which was kinda genius.

Aggies-NY-TIMES.jpg

Then they HIRED HIS FORMER ASSISTANT WHICH WAS THE PLAN ALL ALONG!

Then they faked interest in overrated players that Texas panic-signed. Then they deliberately lost the game to the sippers to draw a false sense of confidence.

Now they have the fifth-most players in the portal. That is next-level prep. 

if you don't understand that a sleeping giant has awakened, i can't help you. This has been predicted for a long time.

While this obviously proactive spin to soften their blow next season...

 

Is that really true?  Winning Back to Back road games in the SEC is really that tough?  Cause we legit don't have a home game in the month of September(OU being neutral probably helps)
