The best 4 year stretch in aggy recruiting. Mack's final classes were highly regarded too, and they still sucked on the field.

Most talented roster, bullshit. Sumlin's 1st year had a much better roster than this one.

IIRC, the fan base was divided over Sherman and the SEC move with the favor going to ditching Sherman and the conference. From afar, I was of the opinion that Sherman was okay and fan bases like A&M get too jumpy to stay patient with a coach but a lot of that was hindsight and the majority of the fans were never going to be happy regardless. Seems like that is a perennial question--how long is too long? Sherman and his staff got Manziel but sensed he was wild and redshirted him, but again the next year, new coach, new conference, and they rolled the dice on the QB and it worked...kind of.

It was a short wild ride on the roller coaster, but nobody noticed that the rest of the carnival crew was packing up the trucks and leaving town before the sheriff showed up to inspect the equipment. Some of the current roster is capable enough, but the outsize expectations and drama don't do them any favors. The portal availability may add to that as well. Fisher was smart to make that contract in his favor, and the gaping space in an aggie fan's brain is filled with the looming arrival of Longhorn and Sooner teams that will add to their troubles.

He retreated! Does fake army hold fake court martial or what.

Quoth the Grackle: a poetic ending. Just needed a field goal and had 2:36 to drive to FG range and win by one. Figures that a grackle would be their poor man’s raven for a harbinger.

[Mrs Whiggins 13050]

I actually feel kind of bad for their QB and most high profile college athletes these days. Like I mentioned earlier, some of the fans were calling for him to come into the games last year and then during the off season the other QB won the starting position. So the dawning awareness that he is just an okay player seems disproportionate to the rage against him. I hate to see it, not for any team--Texas, Texas A&M, or otherwise. These are young men recruited for several years before arriving and they KNOW the expectations placed upon them by the fans but like middle school and hs students and bullies there is no escaping anymore, and it takes a toll on the psyche. They may have a lot of benefits, but coast to coast, it's pretty crazy how invested America gets into the lives of the players.

Sorry for the sympathetic derail, it's why I'll leave the football board and go back to the other threads. I'm not cut out for this....although the MS Paint cartoons are hilarious. @THUJONE is a genius.

That ending was amazing. Loved the shot afterwards of Jimbo holding the play sheet up talking to Calzada like somehow all the answers to life were in it.

So good. What is stupid is that because of their BS hyperinflated pre season rating aggy will still be like #21

I'm not so sure about that. Already fell 8 spots or some such and other teams lower have won. Will depend upon the next four weeks of success/failure.

He’s molting. He’s actually a juvenile boat tail grackle since all the bird watchers started weighing in on Twitter when the dumbass announcers declared it was a roadrunner. I hope it made its way out safely though…but based on the crowd reactions to the bird…they seem to love it. A few even made signs for it during halftime. Not sure if it’s just how the younger people roll these days or a realization that the grackle had more rushing yards than your team.

And the commentator’s comment when the camera caught the play sheet that was along the lines of “usually you only highlight a few plays. The whole play sheet is highlighted in yellow. That seems counterproductive”

My favorite part of the game was when one announcer yells out “This game is officially weird.” Like somewhere in the 4th quarter. As though it wasn’t before that pronouncement.

I had to google what that was and even after I’m still not really sure?  Looks, sounds like Christian folk rock band?

Hopefully it gets out before aggy starts worshipping it and promotes it to general/ school president.

50 years from now, the legend will be the bird showed up during some other game and "willed" aggy to a win.

Then the bird will be immortalized as a sticker on the back of their helmets, etc.

They are aggy.  They invent traditions on the fly, because that's their way.

Got it. Yeah, that makes sense. If I were the ranking persons, I'd have placed them (based on the original QB) around where they are now or slightly lower. Some of the players like *Achane (sp?) and Spiller are quite capable but two players can't do it all. I was toggling between the Longhorn game and Mich/Wisconsin and settled on the Texas game as it was loads more exciting in both an oh my gawd (at the beginning) kind of way and then in just enjoying watching Robinson have himself a day on the field. Always like to watch a player have a good day in his position.

 

 

*One of my children ran XC/TF in the same classification so our family was aware of the FB Marshall teams from track. He is one fast fellow.

Didn't the school chase the bats out of the stadium during the rebuild? Maybe the bird is showing up for its Alfred Hitchcock moment and this is the suspense leading up to  the inevitable conclusion.

Ah shit. I think I get it. So the bird made its way to the opposite end zone where aggy was trying to score. By standing in the end zone the molting juvenile boat tail grackle was signaling the team to go for a TD. The balls on that grackle. Instead aggy kicks a FG and ultimately loses…which they would not have(?) had they scored a TD?

If we can get into that end zone there's dinner waiting on us. LET'S GOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
