  1. On Aggie 247, they're all rationalizing it with the idea of landing Miller and Hudson instead, and then killing it in the portal, all while not having most of the offensive staff put together. Below are some of the more outstanding posts: BBQ Priorities User Since 61 months ago, User Post Count: 3777 Get Drelon back then buttfuck the portal. It’s easier than ever to get strong receivers Batman101golf User Since 16 months ago, User Post Count: 11 He will regret that move...watch what happens. The Aggies have the schedule, the coach, the players, and Connor Weigman....all will create a winning formula VERY rapidly. The game will change very quickly in College Station. We are the Aggies.....and we don't want anyone who wants to be somewhere else. Let him go and don't let the door hit him in the rear end. Batman101golf User Since 16 months ago, User Post Count: 11 Duke had the 67th recruiting class that Elko beat Clemson and others with. That's a ranking worse than Vanderbilt, Rutgers, and Illinois. The man knows how to develop players and Weigman will be a Heisman candidate sooner rather than later. It's not all about class ranking. If it was we wouldn't be 12-12 the last two years. Let the man coach the team and see where this goes. ****** Batman101golf is just excellent.
  2. While we are at it, I did the math, and I'm fairly certain that we are going to have to score more points than Oklahoma State if we want to have a good chance to win. Someone should let the coaches know that they should focus on scoring the most points. Allowing fewer points to be scored against us may also be beneficial but I haven't had time to crunch the numbers.
  3. love newsom but worry that a ca politician can win nationally. fox news has been poisoning the country against everything california for decades, despite there being more trump voters here than any other state. he definitely has the presidential voice, and much like pete, won't hesitate to go on fox news and eat their lunch for them. we should also throw josh shapiro into the mix, who is every bit as sharp but from the right part of the country. winning as a dem is all about the rust belt right now.
  4. Texas A&M Football Lunch with Liucci: Billy Liucci joins TexAgs Radio (Friday, December 1) By Billy Liucci Segment 1 (00:00:00 - 17:03:14) Let's talk about the portal. I think Mike Elko will run a high-character program. That is the vibe I have always gotten from him. He has been at Texas A&M, Duke, Wake Forest and Notre Dame. I think you will see Elko attack the portal more aggressively than what we have seen in the last couple of years. I don't think it's only because he's a new coach. It does not matter who the coach would have been. You will have attrition. On top of that, I think Elko will, year in and year out, use the portal as a recruiting tool and weapon to replenish the roster. When they added guys last year, they needed depth. I don't think that will be the approach. I know they did not try to do that with Tony Grimes and Josh DeBerry. I think you will see Elko get the best player in the country at whatever position they can get them at. There will be a pecking order. Sitting at the top is the cornerback. That will be a serious agenda item for Elko. Receiver could be a position they need to attack. Imagine if you don't bring back Evan Stewart, Moose Muhammad or both and if Ainias Smith doesn't come back for a sixth year. Recruiting-wise, Cameron Coleman‍ could go to Auburn because of something there with Dameyune Craig. Allegedly, there is a coach out there, I won't say who it is, who is trying to mess with the Texas A&M current roster. If you are A&M, use all the ammo at your disposal to thwart those things. That is for any school and any coach, especially anyone who worked here. That's what you will be dealing with. Adding Drelon Miller‍ would be massive. Getting back on the Micah Hudson‍ sweepstakes would be massive. There is some perk up there with the change from Jimbo Fisher and starting anew. To reel them in, it depends on who your receivers coach hire is. I would rather not go through this thing of, "Who uses their COVID-19 year, and who can't?" You can go up to seven years at this point. That list will probably include... One of these people will stay, but in my opinion, Max Wright, Layden Robinson, Ainias Smith potentially and Moose can come back. I would not be surprised if McKinnley Jackson could come back. I don't expect he will. Edgerrin Cooper could return. I do not expect him to. Linebacker is a third position I could see them go portal-heavy. Demani Richardson is finishing his fifth year as a starter. I think Tyreek Chappell and Shemar Turner are two I would really watch the most in terms of going to the NFL when they have normal eligibility. I am less optimistic about them holding onto Chappell. Turner is a Dallas guy, so there could be people telling him if he does not go in the first or second round, he could stay and get a nice NIL deal. Chappell would as well if he wanted. Turner would be more likely to come back if I am speculating. I am going to say something that is going on all over college football right now in the portal. Every school in college football is going to lose players they do not expect to lose or don't want to lose. Sometimes, fans will overact and not realize that it was actually the program that said we would be better off without this distraction. That goes for everyone. Everyone will lose guys that the fans don't want to lose. Sometimes, the coaching staffs at the respective places will say, "Go." Some of those coaching staffs will go, "Damn. That guy was going to be good. We needed to hold on to him." Here is what is happening now. Across college football, you have prominent players, almost through their agents, who are demanding more and more and more. They are threatening that if they don't get it, they will transfer. These coaching staffs have to figure out what is worth it and what is not. I am speaking for everyone in college football. You have a bunch of jackasses that put NIL together with no guardrails. They failed us at the state and NCAA level. Now, you have kids demanding. Forget they are demanding exorbitant amounts of money. If you are doing that, the school can say, "Hey David, we will give you this much, but if you want that much, you have to find it somewhere else. Good luck to you." A lot of these kids will transfer with very high expectations that aren't met and wish they had stayed. Wish they stayed in starting positions, where they were happy, whatever it may be. I have gotten a ton of calls about this. Kids are basically saying they need a bonus now, saying, "Add to the NIL deals by next week, or I will go in the portal." What will happen is a bunch of these schools that blink and do that to keep David Nuño on the roster will still go in the portal. This is where, from school to school, you see who is smart and who isn't. It's like playing liar poker. See who is bluffing and who isn't. A lot of these young players will transfer and wish they hadn't. Elko said it when he was at Duke a couple of weeks ago. Lane Kiffin has always talked about it. Matt Rhule talked about it. It's not all that was thought of when this concept of Name, Image and Likeness came out. It's gotten so far away from that. Schools like Texas A&M, Texas, Alabama, Georgia, USC, Notre Dame and more, to the donors and alumni, you say, "How bad do you really want to win?" This is a weird period of time. Wherever you think you are, you have to step up and elevate because somebody is better. If every player on your roster comes in and demands... Make up a number. Let's say half a million dollars. They will try to get it on the open market. They need to get that number from one school, and you will lose that player. A&M will have to figure out how to do the exact same thing. They have to be one of the schools that looks at the nation's best cornerback. We are going to try to pluck him from this school. You have to play that game. It's just a weird, awkward, no-rule game everyone is playing right now
  5. Correct. We will be tied with them, head to head will be split. It then goes to division record I think. That will also be even. Conference record is next and with our loss to the Cardinals vs theirs of the Jets, they get the tie breaker. That Arizona loss was brutal. They are beyond terrible. Arizona did what Seattle did to this defense last night, except they did a ton of it on the ground. And hit big pass plays when needed. Eagles schedule after Niners and us is very easy. They will be done with their tough stretch while we will still be in the middle of ours with Buffalo, Miami and Detroit still remaining.. The division right now is a long shot and too many things need to happen. We have to pretty much go unbeaten and Eagles need to lose 3 more. Don't see that happening. We are setting up like last season. Get the 5 seed. Play a terrible NFC South on the road wild card round. And if we win that, play either Philly or SF the next round.
  6. I can usually make myself worry about any opponent by Friday morning. I was worried about Baylor and Kansas this year. If we cannot beat Okie State, who is basically a 6-6 team masked by some good coaching in close games, then we just are never going to win any kind of trophy with Sark. This game should be Texas by 21 given the matchups. Just play press man and turn over their shitty QB. I also don't think Gordon is 100 percent. He limps around a lot. He is not as explosive as he was when he was racking up 250+ yard game. His backup is a JAG. I think Gordon was overused the last 8 games and they are paying for it. He is a stud. But 30 to 35 touches a game adds up. He really has not looked the same since OU game. And his YPC shows that -- last 4 games -- 4.2, 2.1, 6.6, and 4.9. And that was against OU, UCF, UH, and BYU -- not exactly murderer's row. The 5 games before that he was 10.8, 9.7, 5.5, 6.5, 6.8 -- that was against better defenses in ISU, KSU, KU, WVU, and Cinci
  7. Alabama scores a TD and takes a 16-13 lead at the very end of the third quarter, winning the third quarter 10-0. This coming off a first half where Texas went to the locker room up 13-6 but should have been winning by at least 4 more points. We have seen this movie before. Texas then proceeds to knife down the field for a TD, pick Alabama off deep in their own territory, and convert a TD on the first play off the turnover, with DJ Campbell blocking two Alabama defenders on the TD run. A three point deficit becomes an 11 point lead in like 90 seconds of game time. That was pretty fucking cool to see them flip the script like that. Honorable mention to both Sweat and Murphy going off on ISU and holding them to 9 yards rushing after their OL popped off in the media and just demolishing Tech after a year of chirping. That isn’t quite the most electric I’ve ever seen DKR but it is up there. Honestly my favorite single play in terms of excitement in the moment was probably the J Brooks run to tie the OU game at 27. It felt like after a whole day of shooting themselves in the foot, Texas had finally gotten right and established momentum that was going to win them the game.
  8. I think we all know who's going to win the B12 championship in softball but overall we stand to take a lot the hardware with us. Should be a fun full season. Then we get to say, "Goodbye, and good luck."
  9. Best case in my mind: Washington beats Oregon. We dominate the pokes. FSU loses. Michigan struggles with a shitty Iowa team. And Georgia wins. So go huskies, Hawkeyes, bulldogs and cardinals.
  10. I could get pissed. I could be mad at a call here or there. I could blame a coach or a player holding us back but based on what? This team doesn’t beat teams with a winning record. Hasn’t been able to do that most times. If we do that occasionally I guess we are punching above our paygrade. It gets old. Let’s go and start dominating damnit!!!
  11. Something tells me if we win, we aren’t going to struggle as much with SMU
  12. Seattle isn't the best matchup for us. They love to run the ball between the tackles, they have a big physical WR and elusive slot guy putting stress on our weakest secondary position. They're desperate too as this may be their season on the line. I still like Dallas but this may be a bit more difficult then some of our other home games. Really it depends do we get bad Geno or good Geno. He's so streaky and unpredicatable. Let's go win this!!!!
  13. Screw all these guys that say the 4 best teams must get in since the best teams are always based on personal bias . For instance when it comes to Michigan, Washington, FSU, Oregon, Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State and Texas. Could any of these teams on any given Saturday realistically beat the 7 others. I would say yes and there is only one team that is arguably in doubt which is FSU but we all know how hard it is to go undefeated regardless of schedule and they had the balls to schedule LSU and that must be rewarded. So the rules have to apply, sorry Georgia you are shit out of luck you should have won your conference. Sorry Alabama you won the SEC but you should have won your head to head. If the 4 undefeated teams win then sorry Texas PK should called a better defense down the stretch against OU. This season shows why I came around on the 12 team playoff because in any one season it would be hard to find more than eight teams that deserve a shot at the national championship. So if four shitty teams get picked that are going to be destroyed more power to those teams and who gives a shit about the 13th and 14th team arguing they should be in even though one day that may be us.
  14. there is a very good chance a near mirror version of this text exists when they fired RC to hire Fran (replacing the old guy with someone we stole from Alabama! He has been at a blue blood so he gets us! He knows how to win!)...then fired Fran to hire Mike Sherman (NFL! offensive mastermind! He gets us and was here before! He was involved with personnel at the NFL level so that will translate to recruiting!)...then fired Mike Sherman to hire Kevin Sumlin (old white guy was over the hill! Sumlin is the new blood! look at how much more of a coach he looks like than the prior guy who was fat! swagcopter! high flying offense not that 3 yards and a cloud of dust that Sherman ran!)...then fired Sumlin to hire Jimbo Fisher (SITTING. NATIONAL. CHAMPIONSHIP. COACH. he knows how to win! he's been at a blue blood so he gets us! pro style offense is what we need, not the 3 incompletions and punt Sumlin offense! he looks more like a coach than our last coach who was fat!) ...now fired Fisher to hire Mike Elko (not an asshole. will run a hard nosed defense! he was here before AND at a blue blood so he gets us! the wrecking crew is going to come back! he isn't stubborn!) for what it's worth, this is also what we will see with their next coach...he's an up and coming talent! Elko focused too much on the defense, we need more offense! the kids will love him because he gets them! swagcopter 2.0! see he's fit so he gets it, he isn't fat like that Elko guy was!"
  15. Yeah they weren't going to give us crap on the way out. No big deal. The only award we want is the conference championship trophy. The other guys can win all the popularity contest awards.
  16. In a year where 8 teams have a legit argument to be in the top 4, the driving factor for the committee will be c.y.a. pure and simple. In other words, they will go with the only defensible rankings: a) undefeated P5 teams are in b) 1-loss conference champions are in over any other 1-loss teams The committee will catch so much heat if they put in a non conference champion over a conference champion. This means that with an Iowa or Louisville win, TX is in. (And TX should be in with an Oregon win but I don't think we will jump Oregon). I think the only fuckery that could occur is with a Bama win -- in that case I think Bama jumps us because they are not leaving out the SEC champ. Any other scenarios aren't worth the mental energy
  17. It's really not that complicated. We aren't jumping Oregon regardless of what we think should happen. Our only chances are: 1. FSU loses and UGA wins - almost definitely in 2. FSU loses and Bama wins - Probably in but could the committee go full-SEC and put UGA and Bama in over us? Tbh it's possible. Hard to leave UGA out and Bama has to jump them. 3. FSU wins and Bama wins - comes down to Texas vs Bama. Pretty much a coin flip what these idiots would decide but I don't feel great about the chances of them completely leaving out the SEC. So yeah - #1 is clearly the best case scenario. The others are all still dicey. Again, this isn't what I think should be the case in a fair world, it's just the reality. Of course, none of this matters if we don't take care of business vs Ok St. Let's worry about that first..
  18. Any scenario with Texas is acceptable. I'm just saying you can't root for every scenario with Texas because the games aren't played at the same time. Oregon/Washington comes up first. The only thing we can do is root for Oregon because it increases our chances, even if marginally, to make the playoffs. The same is true for Alabama/Georgia. Root for Alabama because it increases our changes of advancing. This would all be a lot easier if the ACC champ was Friday and Louisville won. Then, you'd could root for whatever you want the rest of the games in terms of idea matchups because we'd already be in (with a win). No. Washington is bad matchup for us. Any team that is willing to completely abandon the run and just throw 50-60 times in a game is going to cause us problems. We matchup better with the more balanced teams.
  19. Pretty much. If FSU, Michigan, Washington, Georgia win this weekend, it's a wrap. I know many want us to get in over FSU but if they are undefeated ACC champ, they are in. And would be a bye week for the 1 seed. Committee isn't going to drop them. We need to start by rooting for Oregon on Friday night. I get we probably don't get in over Oregon at this point (even though we should), the 0 loss teams need to start dropping. But if FSU loses, we should get their spot. A 1 loss Washington or 1 loss Ohio St is not getting that spot over a 1 loss Big 12 champ Texas.
  20. I cant think of one situation where scheduling tough OOC games has helped the team that won make the playoffs. It has only hurt them when they lose. Maybe Ohio St/Ou the year they split is the only one but not sure. next year for example the Mich game will be awesome. If we lose that game though along with say UGA and Fla and have 3 losses we are going to be in this same shitty scenario. We have the best win all year my many opinions and it still likely wont be enough.
  21. By slotting OSU between us the committee has made its plan clear w/ regards to championship weekend. For those saying "these rankings don't matter until the last one" you're just wrong because the committee is going to base their next set of rankings off of this one + new results. Will we jump OSU with a win? Most likely yes, but they've eliminated any debate that we could have had over whether or not we could win impressively enough to jump UO should they win in an ugly manner. Their reasoning? Because UO dispatched of Oregon St. with ease which is another PAC team that the committee really respects. How do we know that? Because they were ranked 11 a couple of weeks ago before their close loss to UW (and because the CFP chair literally said so). The committee isn't setting us up for a complete upheaval of the top 5 this week unless complete chaos ensues. We know exactly where everyone stands & the only result that may change things is a Bama upset over UGA. Otherwise you're going to get UM, UW/UO, FSU/UT, & UGA. And UT better not limp to the finish line vs. OKST because it's pretty clear that they don't respect UTs SOS as it is.
  22. I’m looking at it on a case-by-case basis. If you replace Alabama with Portland State or Illinois or whoever on our schedule — and we still have the loss to OU — then we are behind Alabama with no H2H Trump card to help us in a tie-break situation for the CFP. I can say with certainty that the win over Bama is the single-biggest card in our hand, followed by a potential Big 12 Championship. Oregon has this narrative going about the depth of the PAC-12 this year that kind of falls apart when you look at it now and the Ducks played all of the conference’s worst teams and lost by three at Washington. They’ve got the “style” points that OU had in 2008.
  23. Fair point, and I made a mistake by saying “if FSU holds serve”. But in this scenario, Michigan is definitely in. Oregon is definitely in. Yeah, I think in event of a close Ga loss, Bama and UGA both go and FSU gets left out. I’m not certain we are ever really serious part of the discussion behind the scenes. Of course a lot of this depends on performance but with a blowout of OSU, and close uninspiring FSU win, maybe we become a serious part of discussion but we are the odd teams out. It takes FSU losing for us to have ANY shot. IF they lose, Bama winning only hurts us by increasing the number of real competitors from 4 (I’m excluding tOSU), where we are likely in at #4, to 5 (again excluding tOSU), and that 5th is the most dominant team in CFP generation. Thus, it’s stupid to root for Bama at 3 pm.
  24. The conspiracy theorist in me says this is all about money and TV rankings. If you allow for human corruption, this is how we go in ahead of Oregon if FSU loses and Bama wins: #1 meatchicken vs #4 Oregon thus allowing for ratings explosion #2 Texas vs # 3 Bama and the amazing ad sales that follow. otherwise, yea, they stay ahead.
  25. Besides Fudd, sounds like Ducharme is missing some time with neck spasms. She may be limited on Sunday UConn fans are mixed - some think they win, some think they lose. Not a consensus “we will win.” They do agree our frontcourt is going to be an issue for them and they may struggle to break our full court press without Fudd, who was breaking in on her own a year ago. They have no idea how they defend someone like Amina. But at the same time, no idea who will guard Paige on our end. Im stoked for this game
