However, its clear Texas AD said hard pass as there was zero Texas engagement on the series. Georgia and Bama seemed the same but I didnt watch them all. 

Texas, Georgia, Bama, Ole Miss, Mizzou and OU all passed.

He also saved Brat from the wreckage of a destroyed sinking battleship

Was that when Brat was press ganged into the Royal Navy and served with Lord Nelson?

Dare I say that this guy is in midseason form?

Texas A&M fans, as with most college football fans, have about had it with the obeisance and hagiography of Arch Manning by the national media. This is a guy that has had extremely limited snaps while sitting behind a seventh-round quarterback who is essentially, on the strength of his name along, getting Heisman hype.

All that would be enough to grate on the nerves of any fan, but the fact that it's the insufferable Texas fan base really does a number on the Aggie faithful. This offseason has seen eye roll after eye roll every time a puff piece is put out about the latest Manning.


Now, though, it looks like the Aggies will have to suffer through yet another year of the Longhorn quarterback getting every offseason accolade possible thanks to a breathless national media. Manning's much-more-accomplished grandfather, Archie Manning, indicated today that his grandson will return for a senior season in college football.

Texas A&M fans will be forced to endure yet another round of Arch Manning over-hype next offseason
This year is clearly set up for a disappointment for Arch, as the Longhorns have to replace most of their offensive line (and just lost one of their potential starters to injury). Against SEC defensive fronts, this spells trouble for an inexperienced quarterback.

Yet that has done nothing to stem the hype train that has been chugging full steam ahead this entire summer— and even before. That hype train just got another boost with these comments from Archie Manning.

I thought we might finally get a break from all of this smoke being blown, but I guess not. It's been entirely too much having to listen all summer about a completely unproven quarterback— and even if he disappoints as expected (which, given the hype he's received, is a near-certainty), the media will no doubt do the same thing next offseason.


Of course, this is not a sure thing, just a grandfather's prediction. However, we've heard rumblings about this for quite some time, so I think there's legitimacy here. Looks like Aggie fans will have another long summer to forge through after the 2025 season.

My dear Graham you are per chance apt to mislay your assemblage with aforesaid variegated verbosity.

When you're writing something for aggy consumption, the cardinal rule is always eschew obfuscation. Always.

Careful….aggies might think you’re talking about Skoal or Red Man.
