Wow when you actually look at their class the only recruits that we would really want are Jones and Demas and even then I question Demas being a culture fit. It’s amazing how much of their class is just bread.

Predicting them to finish around 6-6 to 8-4 seems like a very rational prediction based on previous years. 

Predicting them to be between those two options would be rational based on the entire history of their football program.

Auburn struggled with Tulane. 

Kind of off topic and not sure where to put this. If Texas ever needs a defensive coordinator I hope we give a look to Tulane's DC (Jack Curtis). He was in the mix for Oklahoma State's DC job recently but he's the truth. 

The amount of NFL talent he's been producing at Tulane and Georgia Southern is kind of incredible.

What is amazing is they really think that in 2021 they will win the national championship. With nick saban as the coach of alabama and mond as their QB.

Well yeah, they beat LSU last year so they will win that game from here until eternity.  t.u. smoked UGA so that’s a garuanteed win. And they are due for one against Bama.  Put your money down, never been so sure of something in their lives.  Stupid to think otherwise, just ask Looch.  And the amount of talent they’ve been stacking in top half of the 44. Shit, kinda makes you feel sad for the asswhipping the SEC is going to take in ‘21.

Sheeet, they don’t just believe him. They ameliorate his already baseless and absurd claims. Example, Loochi pointed towards 2021 as “the year” early on, right? Then those dumbfucks ran with that, and now it’s 2020 as a playoff and beat bama year. The dude lights a match and those dumb fucks grab it and run into a dynamite factory, without fail. And when the delusions explode, the masses have already turned on Fran/Sherman/sumlin/etc so they’re too busy castigating that target to pay any attention to Loochi in the background Case McCoying the fucking rubble. 

He really does have the best business model around. Give the Aggies credit, while science is lagging behind, those sheep fucking retards have mastered a perpetual motion engine. But in typical Aggie fashion it does nothing for the rest of humanity. Well, that’s not entirely true, it is amusing in spurts I guess.

No, their defense was getting shredded by SEC offenses that year. They would have lost 1-2 shootouts in the B12.

Their defense gave up 57 to La Tech.  It was okay against the run, run pass offenses of the SEC.  It got butt fucked by the two spread teams they played in the regular season -- La Tech and the Ole Miss team our average team beat the shit out of by 35 points in Oxford.

And no, they don't make the BCS title game had they stayed in the Big 12 and run the table.  Because then Alabama and Notre Dame are both undefeated.  And there is no fucking way they get in over those two undefeated blue bloods.

This is correct.  They may have very well gone to a big bowl though, which is more than what they have done in decades.  Flip side is Manziel doesn’t have his fumblefuck touchdown heisman moment against Bama and he doesn’t bring home the only piece of hardware they’ve had since fuck I don’t even know. 

[Horn Under a Bad Sign 20950]

Demas going to Aggie and living in that shithole while catching 25 passes a year from the crap they have coming in at QB and getting beat up by SEC defenses when he could come to live in the best city in America while catching 60 passes a year is just about the most Aggie thing ever.

NSIAP but here's the update on the OV list for the Auburn game. 1 out of 4 isn't so bad.

The scheduled official visitors this coming weekend

There are four guys who, at one point, have said they've scheduled them for this coming weekend. But I don't believe two of those will be there.

We still need to confirm but I don't expect Jacobe Covington to be there. The 4-star DB fron Arizona committed to Washington after he planned the A&M official. Washington does not allow their commits to take visits elsewhere. Though listed as a CB, he's also more likely a S at the next level and the Aggies SHOULD be getting good news there on Saturday when Antonio Johnson announces.

The other one I don't expect to make the trip is OL Aaryn Parks, who is teammates with A&M commit Joshuah Moten. He doesn't have an Aggie offer and he is also announcing on Thursday. I expect it to be Oklahoma and I don't think he will leave for an official visit elsewhere the next day.

A&M will have five-star Marietta, Ga., TE Arik Gilbert on campus for an official. DT commit Isaiah Raikes had said at one point this would be his official visit weekend, but his team plans on Saturday, so that will not happen. He's solid to the Aggies and has a Friday night game the Alabama weekend, so he could reschedule for then.

The whole SEC-schedule is marketing bullshit.  League is top-heavy (as the old Big10 was).  AL, LSU, and maybe GA are good teams.  Everyone is is stale bread and artificially ranked higher than they should be; giving their schedule the sugar-high of overrated, ranked teams.  

See Auburn/Agy this weekend.  Two turds in the punch bowl fighting it out...neither of which will be ranked by seasons end.

You aren't going to convince them that someone who hasn't won a national championship is better than someone who has, but even among NC winning coaches it would be ridiculous to put Jimbo above Dabo or Urban.

Auburn/aggy sets up the roller coaster perfectly though. If aggy manages a win over a "ranked" SEC foe, that sends the Jimbo coaster to the pinnacle.

I'd call Miles a push. He's a better recruiter, and less likely to suffer from defections or just flat out losing the team, but he's also a moron with a streak of crazy. Probably perfect for Kansas, though, but at aggy, there wouldn't be anything to mitigate his odd decisions. Where he is, there's a certain practicality to everything around him being boring that doesn't play to the worst parts of his persona. Jimbo, of course, caught lightning in a bottle once, and now aggy thinks he's a power plant.

Aggy’s OL is hot garbage and Auburn has one of the best DL in the country.  Can Mahlazn establish a run game against aggys 4 DT DL that Elko likes to play is the question.  This game will be a 17-14 type of game I think with Auburn winning if I had to put money on it.

Good bet for a couple of Mond turnovers as well.  Interception, fumble, or a sack-fumble is definitely likely to happen.

Problem is that Auburn and Florida won against Oregon and Miami and inflated their stature despite miami being trash and Oregon probably being overrated. Thus every game involving Florida and Auburn result in the opposing team getting a huge bump if they win and little to no drop when they lose. 

In the end, the entire shitty conference wannabes are propped up higher than they should be. 

Then bowl season comes around and they have a losing record. 

Next season begins and it's rinse and repeat.

I do think Nick Saban retires after his next title, or in the next 3 years. Alabama is the only job Dabo would leave Clemson for, but idk that he would actually go. Either way, one of those teams will falter under new leadership. Best case scenario would be teams like Miami, FSU, and Georgia Tech making the ACC interesting as Saban retires. Clemson comes back to the pack and Alabama struggles under a new regime. Bada bing, bada boom. 

In reality, SEC 2 will be LSU. They may actually win the SEC this year. It would be terrific if Joe Brady would go back to the NFL. Maybe Lincoln Riley will hire him in Dallas. Georgia is setup to contend with a long term coaching solution, but I don't believe in their offensive philosophy at all as it tries to exploit matchups in design and not principle. If they had no impact rbs, they wouldn't win the east regardless of how talented the roster is.
