What mystifies me about these kinds of takes is that Elko isn't some new addition at ATM. The guy was there for four years, hammering the buffet lines and happy hours. He made a dent in the College Station GDP with his presence alone. He had a chance to "resurrect the WC" the first time around. Why did he not do it then but he's going to do it now? Was Jimbo Fisher also quietly holding back the defense's true potential? That guy really is the Alpha and Omega for aggie failure of late, I guess.

Yes. Jimbo Fisher spent 6 years holding back the program. That is an established* fact.

They were pretty decent on defense relative to their talent level under him, right?  Not great but ok.

Yeah, they stopped the run pretty good because they had DT's playing at EDGE.  Never got much pressure on the QB and any team with a pulse that could pass usually did well against them.  Jimbo milking the clock on offense also made them look good statistically.

Elmer anticipates what I was thinking. They slowed down the clock and, when they had Mond, could move the ball fairly consistently. 

I'm assuming Elko is a very solid defensive coach, but their silly dreams about last century's wrecking crew will never come true. Offenses have changed and bags don't have a unique quality to attract top talent like they did back in the FedEx days.

No shit? That isn’t a groundbreaking take. There’s also quite a gap between competence and the Wrecking Crew, which was a dominating defense at times during that period. 

Elko is a solid defensive coach. ATM has okay starting talent and no depth on defense. They’ll do fine until guys get hurt against mediocre competition.

They did have a much saltier defense with him as DC to be fair, but he is working with half the talent this time around.

Agreed. That was my point in saying that- they will think they are getting the wrecking crew in reality they will get basic competence on that side of the ball, probably nothing special on the other side of the ball and finish in the middle of the conference, same as it ever was. 
they will probably be boring though- missing even the train wreck component of that hayseed Smurf they just gave 75M to fuck off.

I love the adjustments of some posters now to referring ours as the cream puff sec schedule. It’s a foregone concluythat we’ll blast through it but only because we were gifted such an easy slate. But it’s also the sec, week in week out grind.

I try not to read this thread very much.  They are literally too stupid to interact with or give any thought to.  That's not some sort of rivalry smack or anything like that. Hell, we eat our own around here and are harder on ourselves than maybe any other fanbase is on themselves.  They just fundamentally aren't tethered to reality and are incapable of logical or consistent thought.  It's pretty terrible to witness.

Cream puff schedule, huh. Putting aside their decade of bullshit about how there's no easy games in the SEC, our schedule is no easier than A&M's. In fact, it's probably harder (although by a marginal amount). 

We have 3 common opponents with A&M (Florida, Arkansas, MSU). We also fucking play them at Kyle. 

They play ND and we play Michigan in the non-con. Neither of us should be proud of our remaining non-con schedules, although I think our is marginally harder (we don't play an FCS, but we do play ULM so...). So I'll say those are about even. That's 8/12ths of our schedules that match up evenly. 

The remaining 4 games:

Texas                      A&M

1. OU                       1. Mizzou

2. Georgia              2. LSU

3. Vandy                 3. USCe

4. Kentucky            4. Auburn

I would put OU:Mizzou and Kentucky:Auburn at pretty dead even. Vandy easier than SCar, but UGA is harder than LSU. They even out. 

I know I'm working awful hard to climb Mount Stupid, but I can't help myself. Their lack of self awareness is something to which I will never become accustomed.

Are you one of the last few holdouts who actually believes the shit you're shoveled from the state-run media regarding "life and news"? I don't venture into the political discussions very often, which you've pushed into the discussion here because you guys cannot help yourselves, but I've not seen a "trust the media" honk in the wild in what feels like forever.

Don’t know how you gathered any of that from my post, in which I say nothing about myself. 
 

I’ll try from a different direction- the only area in these peoples’ lives that they believe what the institutional authority is telling them is Aggie athletics.

Right. It insults us both when you rebut with a rhetorical tactic like this and expect to be taken seriously, so I'm fine moving on.

The irony of all of this is that... yeah, our schedule this year isn't incredibly daunting.

BUT that's what we have been trying to say for the past decade when aggy claimed "8-4 in the SEC is like 12-0 in the Big 12!!!".  Some years will be absolutely brutal, but most seasons have a couple of marquee games filled with a bunch of filler.  

I would never expect them to acknowledge that they agree with us now, however.  It's obviously that Texas has been assigned the first "favorable" schedule in the history of the SEC.

Obviously!

It's part of the Snakey-ESPN conspiracy to hold down the Ags. And now it's been bolstered by alignment with the on3 network and The Athletic podcast. It's all just too unfair for the good ole Ags.

[Mr. Drummond 2,183]

The SEC West was hard.   The SEC East outside of Georgia and sometimes Florida was much much easier.  

Its going to be spread out more evenly now (except florida lol).    

For most fanbases, they would be happy with that.

But they are so scared we are going to come in and accomplish something they didn't do, they have to try to dilute it down before we even play a game.    

Let them argue that the SEC by adding Texas and OU is easier.   We will just laugh at them.

And also, like going to Tuscaloosa and winning is hard?

1. If they lose big, it's because Elko is in the first year of a full rebuild. Tearing it down the studs and putting it back together the right way. The game basically doesn't count and means nothing about the future of the rivalry. Just wait til next year, sips. 

2. If they lose little, well hell that's as good as a win. You meant to tell me that the big bad Shortwhorns, projected to win the SEC and probably the natty, couldn't even blow out lil' ol' A&M? Didja see those famers fight? Just wait til next year, sips.

3. If they win by any margin, big or little, then it will be literally the biggest thing to happen in the history of either program and, possibly, all of college football. A&M may never lose another game and Texas may never win again. You know that one part from Ode to Joy? The one that plays in Die Hard when they get the vault open? That will be playing on repeat in the mind of every Aggie for the next 12 months. We cannot allow this to happen.
