  1. We need to get him to Surly. That was a really good win. Secondary needs to clean some stuff up, but otherwise I am quite gruntled. I’m still in shock at the turnaround and the fact that we now expect them to win going into most games. Unreal the bullets we dodged in Watson and Bryce. And good players want to join…just wild.
  2. I meant #1 in terms of all time wins, not ranking. Did we go into 06 as #1 with Colt as QB?
  3. This. I'd love to hear the laminations of their women as much as the next, but the only way Mich was going to win that game in the second half was if we allowed them back in with short fields.
  4. By Billy Liucci Segment 1 (00:00:00 - 11:16:11) I don't think Conner Weigman is anything similar to Zach Calzada. Calzada was known for his incredible arm. Conner came with a lot more hype. Texas A&M football has made a lot more of a commitment to Conner. Zach was never in that position. I thought Zach was gutsy and played through a ton of injuries. He had that amazing win over Alabama. Conner does not have that yet. They beat LSU in 2022, but that was really the Devon Achane game. There is nothing comparable between the two. Weigman is a much more accurate passer. Conner Weigman needs to show more starting this weekend. This weekend, he's playing against a true freshman from the greater Houston area in DJ Lagway, who has no more to work with than he does. He needs to play well and win that game. A couple of weeks from now, they go to Arlington to play Arkansas. He needs to play well and help A&M win that football game. I think that is a fair expectation. This is his chance to be the best player on the A&M offense and to set himself up to come back to Kyle Field to take on Brady Cook and Missouri. That should be Conner's mindset. Weigman did not play a perfect half against McNeese, but he played pretty well. He led them to touchdown drives on every possession. There were a couple of big plays he missed. He did get some yards with his feet, which I wanted to see more of. I was perfectly fine with his outing. Weigman has to turn it up, and the receivers have to help out and get better starting this weekend. The good thing is they are not playing a murderers’ row of defenses. Did you see what Arizona State did to Mississippi State? Did you see what Oklahoma State did after falling behind to Arkansas? Did you see what Florida gave up to Miami? Missouri is known more for its offense than its defense. South Carolina's defense looks pretty good, but Kentucky's offense hasn't figured it out. I don't think Texas A&M will see a daunting defense until the final game of the year. Segment 2 (11:16:12 - 15:07:20) I think that's still a really good Notre Dame defense. I specifically remember saying, "This is not an SEC elite defense that we've seen in the past." I'm still not sure. I'm looking around the SEC and saying, "Where are the elite defenses other than Georgia?" I think Texas' defense looks good when I watch them play, but they played Colorado State, and I'm telling you that Michigan's defense is bad, bad, bad. Notre Dame doesn't have those "creatures" in the front seven. Those absolute beasts that wreck games in the front seven that these SEC teams have. They have a couple of secondary guys that are really, really good. I don't think they have it as much in the front seven. A&M should've moved the ball better through the air, just with some degree of consistency, and they would have won that football game against Notre Dame. Segment 3 (15:07:21 - 27:19:04) I saw somebody say, I mean, I'm assuming it's a Longhorn fan, but they said, "I can't wait for Liucci to explain how Northern Illinois is the best team or top-5 in the country." We've seen this a million times, but I did not think Notre Dame would lose to Northern Illinois. I thought they were top-10, but after next week's evidence, I don't think they're anywhere near that. You can't do it on defense alone. It's impossible in this day and age in a 60-minute game. There are exceptions. People are going to say, "What about A&M vs. Auburn a few years ago?" I think the final was 20-3. Auburn's offense wasn't very good. No matter how good your defense is, you're going to have to score when you play teams like Georgia, obviously, but even Ole Miss, Texas and Oregon. You'll have to score points to beat them, and I don't think Notre Dame can do that. These first two conference games are such a big key for this A&M season because they aren't playing good enough ball yet for us to say that they will beat Florida on the road or for us to look at Arkansas to take down that Bobby Petrino's offense. They have to get through these two first. That Arkansas offense is a problem, and so is “The Swamp.” I think it's every new coaching staff, every new coordinator, new portal players, and you're trying to figure out who can get things done and who can't. All that stuff will tighten up, but like I said yesterday, we should stop being disingenuous and look at it how it is. Let's see this run defense and how it goes against Florida. Let's wait and see. I don't think it's a given for me to sit here and say they will stop Florida's run game or they will not let Arkansas move the ball on the ground on them. That would be giving too much credit to a group that has not shown up to that level yet. If we're being real, they've given up four running plays. The second part is the offense. They need to grind out these next three weeks for Missouri. Arkansas and Florida will struggle to be bowl-eligible teams, but both games are "should-win" games. I think Marcel Reed will be a really good QB. I think Reed was on the sideline and got thrown out there when Jaylen Hendersen broke his arm. I've seen what Petrino can do, and I see a dangerous quarterback. I would’ve loved to see Ja'Quinden Jackson in Maroon & White. They should've caused more havoc and carnage against Notre Dame because I watched Northern Illinois do it. When you talk about Arkansas, when you have really good skill guys, this A&M defensive front has to start destroying offenses. Segment 4 (27:19:05 - 39:09:24) There's no reason for Billy Napier to say one way or the other on the quarterback. Coaches think information matters. He's not going to say who is starting. They think it hurts them if they tip their hand on who is going to be the quarterback. In this case, I think it helps Florida not to say because Texas A&M will have to prepare for both. In my opinion, Napier would be crazy not to start DJ Lagway. I think you start Lagway and then you can go to Graham Mertz if you need to. Ninety-nine percent of coaches would go with Mertz and then bring in Lagway if he's struggling. You wonder if Texas A&M's offense can do to Florida's defense what Miami's offense did. I think the answer will be yes at some point in the season, but I don't know if that is this Saturday. Lagway's mistakes don't have to be turnovers. They could be bad reads, sacks or checking in or out of the wrong plays. He gives you the opportunity to scramble and create plays. He can hit over-the-top stuff with his incredible arm. I think we will see some more wrinkles as Conner Weigman gets more comfortable in the offense. I think we could see more use out of the tight ends. I saw one clip where Theo Melin Öhrström pancaked a guy. I want to know how all those guys are blocking right now. Implementing more of the tight ends is an ongoing thing. Can you start seeing more and more of Terry Bussey? He is an amazing athletic talent but has a long way to go in terms of learning the receiver position. It's more than just running a reverse. It's blocking and running the right routes. There is a different level of physicality blocking and at the point of attack. I really like Texas A&M up the middle with Chase Bisontis, Kolinu'u Faaiu, and Ar'maj Reed-Adams. I like that Dametrious Crownover is getting more experience at right tackle. If he comes into his own, then this line has a chance to be really good. I think this offensive line is off to a very encouraging start. It's hard to punch it in the endzone, even against McNeese State. Once you get inside the ten, those are the hard yards. It's a little early to call this team a good redzone team, but it's not too early to say Collin Klein is an outstanding redzone play caller. Go look at what he did at Kansas State in that department. They were outstanding. Segment 5 (39:09:25 - 49:36:00) It's a brutal game, man. You see injuries all throughout college football right now and they seem to happen more when these guys go from practice to actually playing games. On this top level right now, I'm keeping Georgia at No. 1. They are going to have their hands full in Austin. I'm keeping Texas at No. 2. At No. 3, I've got Ole Miss. Sadly, there are no longer divisions because I would love to see Texas and Ole Miss this year with those two offenses going at it and Lane Kiffin vs. Steve Sarkisian. I know somebody's going to say, "You might see it in the SEC title game!" Ugh, I hope not. Can we please not? I have Alabama No. 4, but there's a team right on their heels, and that's Tennessee. I thought two bets were the safest to make this week: Texas to cover against Michigan. I said Texas would throttle Michigan, which was a terrible matchup for Michigan. The other bet was Tennessee vs. NC State. Those were the two easiest picks you might have gotten all year. I might even move Tennessee above Alabama now. It's a five-team tier at the top right now, and the next tier starts with Mizzou. LSU, A&M, and after seeing that game against Kentucky, I might put South Carolina up there. Oklahoma is in there, but damn, OU, you didn't look great against Temple, and you really could've, should've, would've lost to UH. You might get clipped by Tulane this weekend. OU is on red alert. Then you have the teams that A&M is going to play. Florida, Auburn... What a bad loss for Auburn. I think they will get better, but can they with Payton Thorne? My next four are Missouri, LSU, A&M and OU. That's my next four. Then you got the back, including Vandy. Kentucky might be the worst. I wouldn't take A&M against LSU today, but I think that gap is insignificant. All these teams behind A&M can say the same about A&M. If the Aggies can steadily improve, we know what that is going to take. It’s going to take Conner to play with more confidence. We need Noah Thomas have some big games. I think the defense will just get better and better, but from now and Saturday, you have to accelerate faster than Florida does, and you have to accelerate faster than Arkansas does in two weeks. Segment 6 (49:36:01 - 55:08:05) It is not surprising that we saw Marcel Reed before Jaylen Henderson. Reed is so dynamic that there is a little bit of a wild card factor to him. It also has to do with looking towards the future. I think Reed would still get that call if needed over the next few weeks. I don't think the gap is that wide, but Marcel Reed is No. 2, in my opinion. I don't think you need Mike Elko to say that. I think they want to see what he can do. They have got to attack the field by throwing the football. That is why it was never a question if Conner Weigman was the guy. He gives you the best chance to win by being two-dimensional and throwing the football right now. Marcel Reed has the potential to be a dual-threat guy. They need to continue to let him play when he can. I don't know about a move to running back for Terry Bussey. He was at cornerback for the first couple of weeks of fall camp and then at receiver. Now, you guys want him to move to running back. It's not as easy to do that as you guys think. Give it time, and I think you will see his role increase. It would not shock me to see him become a jack-of-all-trades player in this offense. He reminds me in some ways of Ramonce Taylor. You can use him in a ton of different ways, and I think you will see Collin Klein do that as the season progresses
  5. Shit, that's what I thought in the final minutes of the first half. I was happy and feeling better about the chances of a Longhorn win, but thought it could possibly be a different ballgame in the third quarter. After that TD in the final seconds I felt pretty confident we were going to win comfortably.
  6. There is about a 99% chance we go into the OU game undefeated. I did not realize that Georgia goes to Alabama in two weeks, so somewhat decent chance we're ranked #1 after that (although I would expect Georgia to win that game).
  7. I expect the team is excited throughout the season as well. We have not been good enough in the past few seasons to get complacent. Too many games that we were running away with turned into shit fights because of going for it on fourth instead of kicking the goddamn field goal and not having an above average defense (secondary). It's a long time since I've played, but I've watched a lot. Hungry teams like eating up every bite. Winning is not quite routine around here yet. OU and A&M have the best chances for upsets. It will be hard to take the Aggies seriously at the end of the season. It is the trap game as they were in 2005. We crushed them but it wasn't the breeze it should have been. The guys are playing with wrathful joy. It's like a drug. I do hope some of our opponents improve over the coming weeks just as I hope we do.
  8. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/trumps-weird-debate-strategies-come-from-creationist-tactics/ Trump’s ‘Gish Gallop’ Debate Tactic Comes from Creationists A dishonest creationist debating tactic shouldn’t go unchallenged in American life. Or in national politics. June’s fateful Biden vs. Trump debate led not just to the sudden ascension of Vice President Kamala Harris as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. Donald Trump’s performance also saw the return of a familiar tactic in American public discourse, the “Gish gallop”—an avalanche of nonsense presented as fact—on the debate stage. A favorite of creationists, the gallop’s trot into the political arena needs calling out as we head into the home stretch of the 2024 election. Coined by the National Center for Science Education’s founding director Eugenie Scott in 1994, the Gish gallop takes its name from the creationist Duane Gish, who frequently challenged biologists to debates about evolution. His tactic consisted of talking fast and with confidence, bombarding opponents with falsehoods, non-sequiturs and enough cherry-picked factoids to confuse the audience. Scientists debating him faced the challenge of sifting half-truths from outright lies and finding the right evidence to refute them systematically, all within the few minutes allowed in response. Which effectively meant that when the bell went off, the Gish gallop left the scientist “stumped” and Gish declaring victory for creationism. Such a spectacle leaves the audience less informed than they were before the debate, all at the hands of a debater whose only goal is to discredit their opponent and “win” the debate. The migration of the Gish gallop from creationist’s patter onto the presidential debate stage, and increasingly onto news opinion pages nationwide, exemplifies a dangerous debasement of honest dialogue in American life. That both the public and its leaders pass over, or applaud, this kind of dishonesty on the highest political stage shows how integrity has taken a back seat to “winning” power in politics, business and the so-called “culture wars,” and now shrouding us in a fog of disinformation. In politics, the Gish gallop is precisely what Trump deployed in the June debate, putting Joe Biden at a significant disadvantage in attempting to refute even some of the falsehoods in the torrent of lies. Trump, as anyone even half paying attention to his speeches knows, is an expert at the Gish gallop. He projects the utmost confidence while bombastically repeating lie after lie until it overwhelms his audience into either accepting every word he says as the truth, or walking off in disgust because there is no way to get him to acknowledge any truth. At this point, everyone knows this so well that news reports scarcely cover it. But wait, doesn’t that suggest his past debate performances helped him win the nomination and get elected? Not necessarily, because polling data showed no measurable effect a few weeks after the recent debate, as has been the trend historically. His previous electoral wins came from a variety of other factors that had little to do with the debates. Indeed his hulking performance stalking Hillary Clinton in 2016 on stage made him look unstable. Now that Biden has withdrawn from the race, the next debate, scheduled for September 10, will likely feature Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee, who better be prepared to counter Trump’s Gish gallop more forcefully. She will face a well-practiced con artist and loud dissembler who will flood the zone with enough falsehoods to outshout the former prosecutor and senator. (Speaking as an evolutionary scientist, there are no prizes for guessing which side of the evolution-creation debate these two candidates fall on, either.) When it’s her turn to respond, Harris should turn the tables on Trump by calling him out as a liar without bothering to refute each lie and refocus the audience on her own message. When asked how she might respond if Trump started stalking her on stage, Harris said she would turn around and ask “Why are you being so weird?” Indeed, her campaign has already leaned into this strategy to highlight and mock just how extreme the Republican agenda has become. It just might see her win the next debate as well.
  9. I don't bet, but man, I feel like we can fuck around for four quarters and still win by 40. We're going to be scoring even when we're just running clock in the second half.
  10. We are going to destroy teams to such a degree that Ewers wins the Heisman and Arch comes in second place.
  11. If we got Texas State in the first round of the playoffs we could probably rest the starters and go all backups and win by 20 plus. So it could technically be a bye….
  12. MSU will go back to being a really good team when aggy plays them. Aggy loses? That's because MSU is a really good team, ya stupid sip. Aggy wins? We just beat a really good MSU team! Where's our ranking??
  13. Hell to the no, fuck that! I mean besides the fact having aggy blend into normal society would be creepy, (sort of like reptilians masquerading as human) where would we get non stop entertainment? Exactly I don't go to OU forums because they were hyper critical after 51-3 vs Temple. What fun in going there if they agree with me? Texas A&M would have dropped the confetti after a win like that in week 1, meanwhile on texags that aggie propping up the Mcnesse St win... is hard drugs.
  14. Huge win. Indy has been waiting all off-season to get revenge for us beating them the last game to go the playoffs and we denied them again.
  15. I have a feeling Davis Warren is going to be making that "we let them win that football game" quite a lot this season. No, Texas took that game from you through sheer domination.
  16. Road wins ... neutral site wins ... whatever. (Yes, yes, I know, neutral site = a more hostile environment, more adversity, etc. etc, ad infinitum) But, there is a 4 year streak of something that will probably never be duplicated by a Texas quarterback. I speak of course of, Peter the Great, Pete Gardere. From 1989 to 1992 playing those Godless hillbillies from Oglaucoma in the Cotton Bowl. Each year, BlowU was ranked. Each year, going into that game, we were not ranked. And yet, we won those FOUR STRAIGHT YEARS. That is a level of greatness which may never be duplicated. Now... get off my lawn, I have clouds to yell at and if you disagree, fight me. (Well... with words anyway.)
  17. Yeah, Leinart had won two championships and a gazillion games in a row. He couldn't believe they'd lost, because he hadn't thought it was possible, and he'd been right for a long time. This slapnuts yesterday saw his team get blown off the field, in part because of his two turnovers and QBR under 50. And he's like y'all didn't win, we beat ourselves. No, dude. Texas kicked the shit of you, and there wasn't anything you could've done to stop it, or you would've. You lost by 19, and it woulda been worse without a garbage time score and a touchdown stolen from us. Quit talking and try to go win more than 8 games so you don't get benched.
  18. This is one of the more satisfying recruitment flips. When a few recruiting attempts didn't go our way in June, a few optimists said to wait until the season gets going, our play on the field will win over at least someone that is committed. FSU starting 0-2 and Texas going 2-0 with a win @ the big house is what got us this flip. We didn't land blue chip recruits this close to signing day in the Mack Brown era, but Sark does things a bit differently....for the better.
  19. Okay, here are some fun posts from different Michigan posters from The Michigan Insider Fan game thread. ENJOY! Go blue! Many Texas fans think this is going to be an easy win for Texas, no respect for Michigan Posted on 4 hrs, , User Since 224 months ago, User Post Count: 158 Why even kick a field goal? Come on coach play to win. That was James Franklinesque This stuff with Orgi is just stupid.... Everyone knows what is going to happen... Just dumb Have to get to Ewers or this is going to be a blowout, so sad Ewers with great pocket awareness. When we took the field in the Rose Boel and I saw our first few plays vs Bama, I knew we matchup with them. That is not the case today Defense is gonna quit soon. Texas is Michiganing Michigan I have to agree. Sarkisian is running laps around him Don't worry, Michigan will wake up in the 4th quarter. 45-6 will be the final score. I still can't stand the alcoholic coach and the redneck Matthew McConaughey.
  20. If we are going with non-home game wins, Colt’s win in 2008 over OU in the Cotton Bowl is in the conversation as well.
  21. Fuck off. Our second string QB needs quality snaps. There may have been years when your starting QB gets injured and you just shrug and say "well, it's not like we were going to win the National Championship this year anyway." THose fucking days are gone. If, God fobid, something happens to Ewers, I want a backup ready to win it all. And we can have that by mid-season if Manning gets some quality snaps. It's a new era and there's no reason not to get him those snaps every single fucking chance you get. For all we know, some Sooner fuck is gonna lay a late hit on Quinn early in the game (remember Bama). I want to see a primed and ready Manning come on that field. You stupid motherfucker. I love the way we won today, but my one criticism is totally fucking valid.
  22. NIU alum here....I hope we win this! GO HUSKIES!!
  23. i'm sure this in the gameweek thread somewhere but it popped up again just now, i hadn't seen it, and everyone needs to know that we have a new friend.... wolverineswire Rick Neuheisel predicts that Texas will blow out Michigan football Share this article 234 shares Isaiah Hole follow September 4, 2024 4:49 pm ET No one really knows how the Week 2 matchup between Michigan football and Texas will go, but one college football analyst is saying take the Longhorns — big. CBS Sports and SiriusXM Full Ride host Rick Neuheisel is reacting to what he saw in Week 1 with Michigan edging Fresno State, 30-10, but taking all game to do so and Texas destroying Colorado State, 52-0. It’s the biggest nonconference game in 30 years for the Wolverines and the first thing that Neuheisel is looking forward to is just witnessing the atmosphere in Ann Arbor. “The pomp and circumstance of this game is gonna be off the charts, Neuheisel said. “We’re going to have a complete party before the game because of the two brands doing battle. But what’s happened at Texas is what happened in Athens. Kirby Smart built Alabama in Athens. Steve Sarkisian is building Alabama in Austin.” That may be true that Sarkisian has learned from Nick Saban during his tenure as the Alabama offensive coordinator. But what Neuheisel might be missing is that Michigan is also built like Georgia — with strong line play on both sides and with the best tight end in college football. However, the offensive line for the Wolverines didn’t look particularly astounding in Week 1. Perhaps it’s because of that, or just the general sluggishness of Michigan in Week 1, but Neuheisel is predicting a blowout in Ann Arbor — and not by the hands of the defending national champion which hasn’t lost a home game since 2020 or a regular season game since 2021. “They’re not only gonna win, they’re gonna whip ’em,” Neuheisel said. “Texas is that much faster. They’ve shown they’re physical. They held Colorado State to less than 200 yards. It’s not going to be a close game.” Texas does have a lot of speed, but so does the Michigan defense. If styles make fights in football, this will certainly be an interesting clash on Saturday.
  24. Dominating win. When it mattered, both lines owned the LOS. Quinn looked really good. Play calling was awesome. 2nd half, coaching staff new that Mich probably couldn't drive 75 yards for a TD, or if they could it would eat 5-7 mins. We adjusted everything accordingly. With that said, Sark's gonna be pissed how we executed in the 2nd half. Team knew it was going to win and kinda put shit on coast.
  25. Broughton and Collins just wrecked the Michigan line on that third down. That’s a good sign. We are going to win this game.
