I mean in the last decade Texas has played for a conference title...

A&M has played in two NY6 bowls (Cotton in 2012 and Orange in 2020) vs Texas playing in one.

in the worst decade in program history, Texas has won 55.1% of it's conference games. A&M has won 56.8%

Texas has finished in the final AP poll 4 times. Texas A&M has finished in the AP poll top 25 5 times

let's not act like there is exactly a large gap here over the last decade.

it's not quite as relevant but Texas has also won 7 of the last 10 games played vs A&M.

2012 was the BCS era not the NY6 era, and the Cotton Bowl was not a BCS bowl.

I am wondering on who those players were. I cant remember any serious injuries on defense. You had a freshman QB, but I cant think of any major injuries.

They're counting QB King for maybe ten games?

They're also still persecuting Calzada who likely would have exceeded the other QBs in their spring game. He won the only game they care about from last season as a predictor for this season: Alabama. Their QB with a year's experience left due to fan hatred. The legendary spirit of Aggieland.

I can be as optimistic as just about anybody. That part of me says we could go 11-1 this year. Could. I don't expect it and certainly don't predict it. They confuse could with shall.

They still don't know who their quarterback is going to be and they're replacing multiple defensive linemen with multiple years of starts under their belts. Their wideouts, tight ends, and offensive line may consist primarily of players who have one season in the program or less.

the first thing i thought about reading that was our trip to south bend

protip: google <fbschedules aggy> produces the right result first

in '21 miami got destroyed by bama and michigan state, but their 3 acc losses were by 2, 3 & 3

This could get pretty interesting. Perroni's post is about Hykeem Williams.

At various times, the aggies have considered themselves contenders - possibly even the favorites - for several receivers:

- Williams (5*)

- Sampson (5*)

- Branch (5*)

- Andy Jean 

- Cook, at one time?

Now, it doesn't appear that they are the favorites for any of the above.  They'll probably still use bags to get a mercenary .. but if not, the performance of  their passing game / wide receivers during the season becomes that much more important.  To keep the ones they have, and land a reasonable class.

i think he is saying they turned down prioritizing the #2 composite player in the country because they were too focused on Novosad, who has camped at A&M multiple times in the last year, who then decided to stay with Baylor.

A&M has done anything but a good job of recruiting him, going big game hunting for OOS QB recruits a number of times in the last 12 months and even when they had the opportunity to focus on him full time at the pool party they blew it by bringing in Nelson.

...dont forget Novosad's parents both went to A&M and met while in school there. this is the kind of recruitment Texas has consistently fumbled for the last decade.

they have put themselves in a reallllllllllllllllllly bad position QB wise - which we know bad QB room management - if they are unable to bring in an actual highly ranked recruit this year.

QB commits since 2019:

• Zach Calzada, 2019 (transferred to Auburn)
• Haynes King, 2020
• Eli Stowers, 2021 (i thought he had flipped to TE but evidently he is listed as QB on their roster lol did not participate in spring practice i assume bc of injury)
• Connor Weigman, 2022

current QBs on roster are King, Max Johnson, Weigman, Eli Stowers, Blake Bost*, Jackson Oksnee* (last 2 are walk ons i believe.) we know if Stowers was at all worth a shot at QB they would have absolutely flipped him over last year when they were stuck with Calzada and Bost.

they may be able to do this for certain players, but without infrastructure it will fail.

if they were able to do things like pancake factory...why wouldn't they have announced it.

Texas A&M should be capitalizing on NIL across the board...but they aren't. they have a NIL program ("the fund") that has no website, no list of names attached to it, no goals, no marketing (sorry, they say they prefer to stay in the shadows and do their marketing player to player via word of mouth. raise your hand if you think this is a successful way to go about it.), without the corporate base that certain other schools have...that isn't something that bodes well for short, medium or long term success.

i know TTU is set up with dudes who want to spend money, but when your NIL program overall is leaps and bounds behind TTU you are doing it wrong.

This is literally what Texas has done. And Texas has the money and more is coming. Just weak and/or lazy bullshit from Special K, probably gleaned from conversations around Hill. They tried the same tactic on Gullette, Mohammad and Baxter. Now maybe not all of those guys sign with Texas, but it won't be due to NIL. Could it be due to desperate and stupid bags by ATM or someone addicted to bags like UGA? Maybe. My current bet is Texas gets all 3.

The best part is they acted like they couldn't take 2 qbs like Bama didnt just get 2 top 10 qbs in as many months. 

As for their QB recruiting Weigman is the only qb who was a top 100 player and even then wasn't heavily pursued by any of the elite programs. Heck he even said Texas was his dream school before Murphy committed and we still passed (I think this was mostly Ewers optimism).

Jimbo has yet to truly allow his mobile qbs utilize their legs (see Golson, Mond, King). Francois rushed for 5 TDs in 2016 but really wasnt a big yardage rusher. Will Weigman be as good when he is stuck making multiple reads every snap before running?

A friend of mine who played and started at WR in the SEC and is now a successful businessman in Houston texted me late last fall after seeing Weigman in person. It was basically "holy shit, dude, that guy is as good a HS QB as I remember seeing." 

I've never really heard from anyone who has watched a lot of Weigman's tape or games come away with anything but praise. The guy signed with a dinosaur, has concussion issues, and has 2 guys in front of him that will present their own problems for Fisher if they're benched. So he may never matter at ATM. But he's going to be better than King or Johnson. Either he winds up simply being too good to keep on the pine or he transfers. If he winds up starting over King and Johnson, that probably gives ATM their best shot at a legitimate run if the defense gels with that talent. 

That considered, if King isn't the guy, his dad doesn't like Fisher already. He's got legitimate stroke in the high school circles of east Texas and Louisiana. Fisher better get used to finding guys elsewhere. As to Johnson, if he's riding pine after starting for LSU, I don't imagine that goes over well with dad, brother, or player. 

Should be fun to watch. I expect Johnson to be the starter, King to take a heaving dump on the program as he transfers out, and Weigman is a wild card in terms of what he does.

It would shock me if Weigman doesn't get a shot, especially after the giant turd they are laying this year in QB recruiting. I can definitely see king being the odd man out and burning down a major recruiting region on the way out. I don't see him beating out Johnson during camp if for no other reason than Johnson has a season of experience under his belt and seems to not turn the ball over. What is very interesting though, is that Jimbo's supposed opening up of the offense is coming from the Mike Norvell offense as outlined below. The RPO game would seem to lend itself better to King, and Weigman in the future, so if neither of those guys start this year it will be another Jimboing of the offense.  Now, notice that this was recorded prior to last season in January 2021 and we probably already know the answer.
