Please tell me we won't have a going to the sec ceremony

No ceremony, just a short video with some highlights like Street to Peschel, Tucker's kick vs aggy, Roy Williams running up and down the field on Nick Saban's LSU team, 1965 Orange Bowl win over Bear Bryant and Joe Namath, Bevo damn near killing Uga, etc.

No Herman tweaking his nipples on the sideline versus Misery?

That 12th man 100 logo is begging for the Jordan Eyes.

Also, I’ve asked previously, but that’s cool that they’re throwing that 100 up for that, but why didn’t they call attention to the centennial of their totally legit national championship 2 years ago?

Clackity clack--Jimbo ran out of time again?  What excuses are the overrated fighting farm hacks doling out this week?  Their season rested on Cornhole eyes?  They're a middle of the road team.  That's not an exception to the rule, it is the rule. Jimbo got 'em next year though.

Hullabaloo, Caneck! Caneck! The Year of the Aggies Is Upon Us

With a top-six preseason ranking and a spot in the conference UT wants to join, Texas A&M is the state’s dominant college football program.

Over in College Station, the Aggies have been looking at this Longhorns-to-the-SEC news all wrong. ....Texas A&M should be celebrating the Longhorns’ SEC ambitions as proof of everything Texas A&M football has become.

Think of all the years Texas A&M football lived in UT’s shadow. Season after season of feeling disrespected. Well, guess what? Now the Longhorns are chasing—and copying—the Aggies.

If A&M fans are honest with themselves, they’ll admit they never imagined this day would come. The Aggies underachieved for so long that playing second fiddle to Texas seemed like the natural order of things.

No more....

Don’t sweat it, Aggies. UT football poses no threat to A&M at this point, and who knows when or if it ever will?...

New coach Steve Sarkisian may return the Longhorns to the national picture, but for now, UT is a speck in Jimbo Fisher’s rearview mirror....

And once Texas joins the SEC, the Aggies will finally get their chance to slay the UT dragon. As much as A&M backers are looking forward to this season’s October 9 showdown with Alabama, nothing is sweeter than beating Texas...

For the moment, Texas A&M isn’t just the gold standard for college football in the Lone Star State, although it certainly is that. The Aggies are also among the tiny handful of national programs against which every other FBS school can measure itself in terms of attendance, revenue, facilities, fan support, and winning.

As a coach, Fisher had a breakthrough season in 2020, and the best seems yet to come as he stacks one elite recruiting class on top of another. His three straight top-ten classes, according to Rivals, represent a run of success never seen at A&M since the online rankings service began rating recruiting classes in 2002.

“We’re making a lot of good progress with the culture of our organization,” Fisher said at last month’s SEC Media Days...

Some Aggies believe this is the year they finally overtake Alabama, and they’re looking at A&M’s fall game at Kyle Field as pivotal to the program. Fisher threw some gasoline on that fire during an appearance at Houston’s Touchdown Club in May. Asked about the key to beating Alabama, besides waiting for Saban to retire, the coach popped off:

“We’re going to beat his ass even when he’s there,” Fisher said, according to the Houston Chronicle.

When word of Fisher’s jab got around to Saban, the Alabama coach asked: “In golf?

Now, about beating Saban. Despite Fisher’s bravado, A&M might never catch Alabama as long as Saban is there, and there’s no shame in finishing behind the greatest program in history....

For years, A&M was considered a sleeping giant in college football. The Aggies had facilities, money, passionate fans, and a rich reservoir of talent within 150 miles of College Station. Kyle Field is one of the best two or three places on earth to watch a game. The stadium offers a home-field advantage in the best sense of the word. Those 105,000 fans don’t simply cheer. They create thunderclaps of passion...

Turns out, all the Aggies needed was to hire the right leader—someone who could build the program, create a winning culture, and help his blue-chip recruits develop into wining football players. It’s taken Jimbo Fisher just three seasons to do all that. “That’s why I’m here, and that’s why we’re here,” Fisher said about the goal of winning a national championship. “We have all the resources to do it, the program to do it, and the support to do it. Now it’s just making sure we do it.”..

Rather than fret about the Longhorns, the Aggies should enjoy the ride, because this is going to be a Texas A&M autumn. The Aggies return nine defensive starters and they will surround whoever wins the starting quarterback job with loads of offensive talent at the skill positions.

At long last, this is the program A&M fans have dreamed of. Here’s to the year of the Aggies.

That aged well.  Are they going to print a retraction for obvious errors?

They're gonna be 3-3 with 6 games to play.  It's very unlikely they'll beat anyone with a pulse (Auburn, LSU, Ole Miss).

Prairie View is a gimme (that they should be embarrassed for scheduling).

They're gonna have to go 2-0 at Mizzou and vs South Carolina at home.  

Not sure they can do it.

I think 7-5 is still realistic, could be 8-5 with a bowl win.  So basically, typical Aggie season.  No shame in it.  But is it really worth over $1mm/victory.  

Do you they run out of time or run out of cash first?

aggy really believed 2020, year of the 'rona' bug that gave everyone another year because everything was wrecked, signified they finally made to the top----even though they still came up short.  

Pooorrrrr aggy
