I think reed is decent and better than what they usually have.  I think he is high risk to get hurt if Klein tries to run him a bunch given his slight build.  If Klein doesn’t run him much, he’s not much of a threat.  Kind of a catch 22. 

This had me laughing, not because I disagree,  but because it's so aggie. 

Reed is better than typical aggie QB. He's a threat when running, but shouldn't cause he's tiny and will break easily. However, he can't throw for shit either. 

To further the aggie reality, I think they will run him a lot BECAUSE he throws like shit. This will likely result in injury sidelining him by...

Wait for it...

Weigman was a mobile qb. Watch his HS tape. Sure he got fat once on campus, but in theory he would have been able to run klein’s offense other the fact he sucked. 

Nuh brah, nuh

Reed is going to get blasted into Bolivia when he takes off on a happy feet run.  Not if, when.

There's nothing like preseason bowl projections to either raise fans' collective eyebrows or completely infuriate them, as Texas A&M football fans well know. This most recent set of projections from ESPN's Mark Schlabach and Kyle Bonagura is no different, sadly, as they have apparently decided to mail it in when projecting where the Aggies will land.

Well, at least, that's the case for one of them. Bonagura hit the "easy" button when deciding where the Aggies would go, ostensibly, as he has penciled them into the Texas Bowl, just as happens seemingly every single preseason over the last few years.


Schlabach, to his credit, has either actually done his homework on this year's Texas A&M team, who has a chance to really do something special in the SEC, or he's trying to break out of the same old rut that has been going on for the last few years: he has the Aggies in the Citrus Bowl in his projections.

ESPN completely mails it in with Texas A&M's 2025 preseason bowl projection
For all of the jokes about the Aggies and the Texas Bowl, they've only been there twice in the past nine years: in 2019 and 2023. In that span, the Aggies have been selected for the Gator Bowl just as many times— due to a COVID breakout in 2021, however, they were unable to participate.


If Bonagura's projection comes true, however, the Aggies would be facing the BYU Cougars in Houston come bowl season. That's not exactly a matchup that A&M fans would relish, but it's better than some draws we've seen.

Schlabach has the Aggies facing off against Illinois in the Citrus Bowl on New Year's Eve. This would mean, based on normal order of selection for SEC bowl teams, that the Aggies would have just barely missed the playoff, coming in around 9-3 prospectively.

That would be a better outcome for the Aggies, though I can't imagine the consternation that would occur if A&M is barely left out of the playoff again after being right on the cut line. If the Aggies get to the 10-win mark, of course, they're all but guaranteed a playoff spot, based on their strength of schedule.


All in all, this isn't a complete insult as much as it is something that fans will just roll their eyes at. It's just passe at this point to project A&M in the Texas Bowl in the preseason.

Man, Graham needs to retool as he is now clearly writing for Surly rather than aggie. He's never gonna join Billy on the aggie athletic gravy train if he keeps on using big words and complete sentences. 

Man up Graham, dumb it down, more sunshine less vocabulary. Keep it short and stupid. It is the aggie mindset you're after, not Surly fun and games. 

Jesus... I expect more from him.

O/U on how many games into the season where he gets benched?

Before or after Florida depending on outcome of Auburn game.

They'll be riding high on moral victory over ND, particularly if it is a 10 point loss or less. They will likely beat UTSA (I think it will be close), Utah State and MSU. If they lose to Auburn after ND, it deflates the moral victory a good deal and "the savior" is under fire. Probably riding pine by Florida. If they pull off an Auburn W they will be 4-1, and a big loss to Florida is the only thing that will derail Reeds "Heisman campaign"... also, that's the time by which I suspect he will probably be broken.

We peaked at #7 in his power rankings last season, so we must be REALLY good this year!

I love the point when Graham can no longer rank aggy above Texas with a straight face, so he abandons the whole thing. It brings me joy each year.

Yep, sheer laziness to project aggy to the Texas Bowl . . . aside from the fact that two of their last four bowl appearances were in the [wait for it] . . . Texas Bowl.  

All kidding aside, the Texas Bowl would be a step up from last year's bowl for aggy, so maybe Graham should put a lid on the manufactured outrage at preseason bowl projections, which mean nothing.

I mean, Graham isn't putting enough Sunshine to meet aggie standards. Needs more 100% chance of SEC championship and CFP talk.
