Not the day for bumping posts with trivial shit Tex.

I like how you can’t cuss on TexAgs but racism and homophobia are a-okay.

I like the kids on Reddit. They’ve got the spirit. Still…far too many of them have downplayed the rivalry with Arkansas and eve A&M. It’s been good to see how well they’ve taken to dunking on Aggie since the game came back.

We beat OU, Arkansas, and A&M. We made the SEC championship in year one. Despite a plague of injuries and a QB of inconsistent testicular fortitude, we’ve only lost one game. That should be enough, but it isn’t. I want more. I want to bend Kirby over a fucking barrel and win the whole damn thing.

POOOOOR AGGIES

Umlang is either a useful idiot disseminating Sark’s misinformation or an actual idiot helping Aggie game plan for our QB.

I just fuckin love DMO.

I could watch it 100 times.

Maybe I'm stupid, but I'm just not that worried about this. If Ewers is at 90% and dealing, we win. If he's too hurt or off his game, Sark has a built-in excuse to switch to Arch that lets Quinn save face. And I think we can beat A&M with Arch, given how different the playbook and gameplan looks with him. He's like the polar opposite of Ewers. Either way, Elko is now stuck trying to prep for two completely different QBs. And he doesn't have the horses. Their DL is great, but their LB and DB groups have serious deficiencies. My only lingering concern is that Ewers will go out there, look bad, and Sark won't switch to Arch until we're deep in a hole. Then Arch is put in the position of trying to pull us out of it. Although I think there's a reasonable basis for that concern, I also think Sark has earned a little grace and a little confidence in how he manages the season and the QB room. I'm never going full on "trust the corches," but I'll trust Sark on this until he shows me otherwise.

I'm prejudiced against hyphens. Or I got him mixed up with Filsame. But probably the former. I'm basing this on what people have reported about him and his own statements about his development curve. I don't know how "confidently" I can say that the staff likes him, but the vibes seem good based on what I've read and heard. Good OL are hard to fine, he has connections to A&M, so maybe someone will try to tamper with him and succeed. But if we're just spitballing, I lean more towards him staying until I hear something new. The only think to be "pessimistic" about is that there is no Kelvin Banks. But those players only come around once every several years. That starting line up for next season looks about as good as one could reasonably expect. Maybe there will be some growing pains, but that still looks like a solid OL. It would literally be better than any OL we had under Chuck or Turtle.

Me too - he was one of my favorite recruits in the 2022 class. I thought once he had some time under the staff that his natural athleticism would set him apart. Really disappointing.

I don't see Finkley leaving. Dude is here for an education and is playing football as a means to an end. Unless he "transfers" to med school early, I think he's just happy to be here. Warren Roberson is a true sophomore and got some play earlier in the season. He could leave but I think it's more likely that he'll stay with the expectation that he will contribute more next season. The staff clearly likes both Stroh and Vasek, I don't know why either would leave when spots look like they'll open up next season. I agree that Gullette, Akana, Agbo, and DuBose are all risks. I would add Jaray Bledsoe, Aaron Bryan, Sydir Michell (maybe? not sure what's going on there), Jordon Johnson-Rubell, and Amari Niblack. Plus maybe Neto Umeozulu if it doesn't look like he'll start next season.

I have honestly never understood why the "poooooor Aggies" chant gets under their skin so bad. Or at least why it seems to bother them more than any other chant. But every Aggie I have ever known, to a one, has hated that chant. Makes it too easy to start fights in the text chain with friends. It's like calling Marty McFly chicken, they just cannot let it go.
