This needs to be studied cause wtf lol
 

Being from South East Texas and going to live in Midland to work for a few years will definitely put you in a bad head space. No greenery anywhere just dirty and tumbleweeds. Smh never rains it’s just the fucking worse 

 

That's a truth that a lot of people from West/Northwest Texas don't want to hear (I'm one of them). People will hit you with "oh the people are so nice, etc." and they're right, but if you've ever lived anywhere with any natural beauty it will fuck you up.

I grew up in the mountains, but have deep roots in SE NM, up to the TX state line and have spent a LOT of time out there. It’s not for everybody, but I love the open plains and open skies. It’s not just the friendly people, I really do love the environment. 

Many folks move from those areas to places like the Pacific NW and have a hard time with the trees blocking everything and the grey skies. One of my good friends growing up took his own life after a winter working for the forest service in Alaska.

  • look at what Amari Niblack did at Alabama as a freshman and what A&M needs at the tight end position, and I think it's a pretty damn exciting addition. They lost Donovan Green. LSU fans should be excited bout adding him, but he did not play a lot this year. It was injury-related, and because of where he was in his comeback, he wasn’t considered as good enough to crack into the tight end rotation. He might go to LSU and recapture that freshman form and be really good.
     
  • The same can be said about Niblack. That Alabama team was a play away from playing for the national title, and he was a weapon in their passing game. He was a freshman. 
     
  • Being a receiver is his strength. There are sane Texas people I can talk to that will tell you blocking, or lack thereof is what held him back. If you see him, he is a thinner tight end. He is a weapon in the passing game. You look what the Aggies have added in Micah Riley and Nate Boerkircher. Theo Melin Öhrström can make plays in the passing game. 
     
  • Niblack is like an overgrown wide receiver. They need a passing-catching threat at TE to add to the mix, and they need more help at receiver. You added Kevin Concepcion and Mario Craver. You added Micah Hudson — TBD. You hope Terry Bussey makes a jump. Ashton Bethel-Roman and Izaiah Williams are young guys who stayed on campus that they are excited about.
     
  • Niblack was behind Gunnar Helm at Texas. This is a Holmon Wiggins thing. That connection... Wiggins knows exactly what he will bring to this football team, the position room and pass-catching corps.
     
  • In this early window stuff, I hear rumbles of a player or two that will be playing tonight that could enter the portal. I think A&M would be in play, but I don't think it's a situation with Niblack where you go, “I think the Aggies get him as soon as he goes in the portal.”
     
  • I will say this: There are a couple of guys at Ohio State I am watching. There is one player at Notre Dame I am watching. Again, not to come to A&M, but guys at positions that I think A&M would interested in them. Unless the Aggies get someone who is playing tonight, I think they are done in the early window.
     
  • I watched Notre Dame eek by A&M, and for all the idiots that say, “It was a 10-point game.” It was tied. They were a 3rd-and-5 away from the Aggies getting the ball back to win that game. Riley Leonard threw a slant and got the first down. That’s what they have done all year. The next week, they lose to NIU. They got to the playoffs. They beat the crap out of a good Indiana team. They lost a couple of good players. They choke out Georgia. They win a really football game against Penn State. They are tough, physical, opportunistic and create turnovers. They don't give up.
     
  • I think Ohio State is the best team in the country. They beat the ever-living crap out of Oregon. They beat Texas. They beat Penn State earlier in the year. They lost to Michigan. I have watched them struggle against Texas.
     
  • I think the Notre Dame defense can keep this thing close. I know Ohio State has weapons, but if you pressure Will Howard, you can pressure him into mistakes and turnovers. I will go with the safe pick of Ohio State, but I think it's close. 
     
  • I would like to see Notre Dame win because Marcus Freeman is an easy guy to root for. I don't want to hear about the Big Ten.
     
  • Either A&M or Texas is going to play the defending national champions next year. If you play Notre Dame early in the season, I would love them to be the defending national champions. I am trying to think of how many times A&M has beaten the defending national champs. LSU in 2020. Alabama in 2021. There’s one more. Nebraska in 1998. Why not 2025, Aggies over Notre Dame?

Yeah so I think we have the answer of who’s playing the national champion next year, and who had the best “moral victory” vs the national champion

Honestly that's pretty muted for him. Reading between the lines, he's admitting that they're taking him despite being worse than useless at blocking because Wiggins lobbied for him and their TE room sucks.

Key notes from Billy Liucci

I don't think Ohio State vs. Notre Dame was the most enjoyable football. It got interesting for a little bit when Notre Dame did what I thought they were going to do and hung in there to make a game of it. I didn't think Ohio State was going to race out there. If you had told me the score was 34-23, I would have believed you. It made for some entertaining stuff in the fourth quarter, but by then, a lot of people probably tuned out because it was so slow and one-sided.

It was an impressive performance from Ohio State. They were the best team in the country when it mattered most. They were the most talented team in the country all year. You could argue Georgia, Oregon and Texas for the most talented team, but I think it was Ohio State.

Georgia has deficiencies on offense. Oregon, with the line of scrimmage and defense, didn’t have enough. Ohio State proved it against Texas. I saw people getting upset about Ohio State controlling the game against Texas, but they looked like the best team in every game they played. We saw it against Tennessee and that Michigan game woke them up. It's a completely different world of college football where you can lose two games, you can lose to your archrival, but you can reinvent yourself.

We, as Aggie fans, need to recalibrate and understand that you can be Arizona State and be Texas and play in the national semifinals when nobody thought you could. You could be Ohio State — who went 1-2 in games where their fans cared the most — including losing to your arch-rivals in embarrassing fashion at the end of the season and still win the national title in impressive fashion.

The regular season matters. Ask Ole Miss or Alabama about that if you don’t lose to Vanderbilt or Oklahoma. I do like the new playoff format because I think the best team in college football just won the national title. I don’t think they would have made the playoffs in the four-team format, so I like the fact that they won it.

I like the fact that Arizona State could have beaten Texas and been the Cinderella story. I like the fact that James Franklin had a couple of chances to recreate his narrative. What I don't like is the way they do the seeding, and I think they need to look into changing that so schools like Arizona State and Boise State are not getting byes

I'd rather just see them go to a 16-seed playoff. 12 is an awkward number anyway, I think a bye might be a disadvantage with the team playing the week before. The conference champions are not created equal. If we are going to pick the teams to make the playoffs, then we are perfectly capable of seeding them properly. Might as well make it 16, I think it will make it more fair and balanced.

Ross Bjork can easily be talking about Michigan. He can easily be talking about Texas or Oregon, for that matter. Look, at Ohio State, he doesn't have room to talk about anyone spending money.

If you look at the list of schools spending that much, the list includes Burnt Orange, the Buckeyes and it includes the Ducks. Michigan did it with the quarterback they got from LSU. I think they are about to go in. Nobody in Austin, Columbus or Eugene can stand on a soapbox about NIL. But he's right about one thing: Arizona State could have beaten Texas in the playoffs because they were just a great team. Ohio State did what they did because they had the talent, and when they took the loss to Michigan, they regrouped and said, "This wasn't good enough, and we are going to prove it.”

Notre Dame's NIL is not paying what other teams are paying. It's not just that. You better have culture, a coach who understands how to piece together a roster and plug holes in both big and small situations. There's an art to it, and Ohio State had the best roster this year in college football. They recovered from an early season loss, didn't win their conference and recovered from a bitter late-season loss that would have derailed teams, but then they got into the playoffs and throttled everyone. They stood up on the one against Texas and said, "This is our season.”

I like to see the best team win, even though I wanted Notre Dame to be the defending national champions when A&M plays them next year. Now, Texas will get to play the national champs for the second year in a row. Notre Dame would have deserved to win if they pulled it out, but they got a lot of teams with no offense down the stretch. They got Georgia without Carson Beck. They got Penn State. Even against A&M, as bad as they were in that game.

Riley Leonard can't really complete a pass downfield. I think he completed one down the field to Jaden Greathouse. In those two games, two of Notre Dame's biggest games, he goes three quarters without completing one pass down the field. It was fun to watch him efficiently run quarterback power down the field to start the game. I thought they could maybe win it because they have the intangibles, but they were far from the best team in college football.

I don't think Ryan Day is going to the NFL.

Spring portal movement is what I am most interested in, especially with the number of players and agents that will agree to a NIL deal and then change their minds when they hear what teammates and players at other schools are making. I think that the spring portal window will be surprising.

Other than that, it's just how much things will get fixed when the schools start paying from the court case. A&M will be north of $20 million, so to see when that gets across the finish line to pay student-athletes.

I don't think we are going to see any major head coach movement. I think it should be a fairly quiet offseason for actual football stuff until the portal. I think it will be more active. I think the movement could reshape how you think of some teams. There might be teams, like A&M, who you move up or down in the preseason rankings based on the portal

Of course Billy wants to expand the playoffs to 16.  At 8-4, you have a better chance to make it.

I say they keep at 12 and have 4 play in games which makes it a 16 team playoff but not really. The P4 conference game participants get auto bids plus 3rd and 4th place from the SEC and BIG host play in games against the highest ranked G5 team plus 3 at large bids on championship weekend. Only reason I favor this is because aggy would probably make the play in game and lose it and still not be able to say they were in the playoffs.

Hudson noping the fuck out of College Station, once he started actually interacting with students on campus, and heading back to Lubbock would be hilarious. 

Good luck to ATM trying to lure a WR in the spring portal when Texas and Ohio State will actually have the time to go after few of them as well.

Shocked at the amount of negativity that the mods are allowing on TexAgs. Usually by this time of year the masses have put the failures of the past season behind them and started guzzling the koolaid.

Guess it is pretty hard to be excited about next season when your underwhelming defense just lost three defensive linemen that are about to go in the first two rounds in the NFL draft without any comparable replacements.

And your defense sucked crap through a straw despite having those guys.

does he really need a fuck load of $$.  Just offer him a working car and show him a video of Arch throwing.  If he has a brain he'll jump at a Bolden role.

Our 2024 season had a lot to do with their pessimism. They're accustomed to not competing for the league title, but to see evil tu immediately be successful and then sign the No. 1 class was simply more than they could bear. At the moment they're not even sure they'll win their spring game.

Never should have fired RC. The fans should have "corrected (presumably the perceived coaching errors) while on course. Nattys galore!

I saw that in some of the screenshots but it seems weird that Liucci would initially be so adamant that Hudson would be welcome back with open arms if that were the case
