The self-awareness of how bad their program is, is much higher than I expected at this point.   The reality of 6-6 is sinking in.

Those guys are ready to open a vein. To the guys talking about how they are just good QB play away from Valhalla, please don’t show them King’s numbers so far this season.

aggy will never win a national championship in any major sport, regardless of how much money they throw at even the best coaches or spend building facilities that are actually well designed.

The plain and simple truth is the freak show of a culture at Texas A&M is so off-putting to so many whose ambitions in life aren't to live-action role-play as soldiers from the Spanish-American War and demand everyone they meet for the rest of their life thank them for their live-action role-playing as soldiers from the Spanish-American War.

By the way, how did our buddy Leon O'Neal do yesterday afternoon against Auburn? The highest rated recruit of Jimbo's 2018 recruiting class has to be kicking ass by now under Jimbo's and Elko's "elite coaching."

Yeah they “owned” LSU last year.

At home. In 7 OTs with the refs help.

That LSU game is what gave the the roller coaster a turbo boost this season.  Another 8-4 year and aggy wouldn’t have had quite the expectations they did for this season.

Auburn and LSU were considered automatic wins starting this season and all future games.

Also, they were determined only the alabama game was a loss, clemson was going down in July and august. Georgia was a toss up.

Look, I love Aggie lore as much as the next Ag. But at some point you have to realize that the stories have never been 100% representative of reality.

Since the beginning of the 2012 football season, Texas A&M has 53 wins over FBS programs.

Since the beginning of the 2012 football season, UT Austin has 53 wins over FBS programs.

This time frame includes the single greatest period of Texas A&M footfall.

Want to know how I know this generation isn't deserving of any kind of championship? You do realize it is about 10 degrees cooler than it has been? Next thing we will hear is we need to dome Kyle. Then the fans will win the team a Natty. Buttercup you want the team to play harder for you because you deserve it. All while you are like a sheep seeking shade. Looks to me like the students aren't preparing to win this championship they all so deserve.

If you pull a ticket at a very reduced price due to generous alumni your ass needs to fill that seat until end of game. Oh and maybe make some noise and stay off your social media agenda for 3.5 hours.

It was warm yesterday not hot as balls. Get out of the AC once in a while. Man is your generation worse than even 10 years ago. Yes I know how hot it is as I work outside everyday. Congratulations on your championship in the drama queen category.

I went to college so I wouldn't have to work outside in the searing Texas heat.

aggys go to A&M understanding they are destined to always work outside in the searing Texas heat but, at least afterwards, they get to sit in traffic for an hour to get to their tract home in Katy.

Advantage aggy.

this thread is still up and is a bad sign.  the only dangerous aggy is a self-aware aggy and this game may have been a breakthrough for them.

There is dangerous unapproved speech occurring within aggydom. This must not, and cannot, be allowed to remain accessible to the public. In the name of 'Merican values, for which every aggy Corps member stands ready to draw his sword to defend, the central party forbids such unapproved speech.

If unapproved speech is allowed in aggyland, the school would become just another with an insanely high acceptance rate and bloated enrollment.

If anything in this life is certain, if history has taught us anything, it's that you can kill anyone count on the brief bouts of ag self-awareness to quickly morph right back into inexplicable delusions of grandeur.

Who wants to place money on whether Olin, "the gift that keeps on giving," will continue his analysis of second year coaches as a weekly feature?

lol.

Quote

Around CFB: Several second-year coaches flooded with criticism, losses

By Olin Buchanan

September 10, 2019

Water seems to be a central theme for second-year college football coaches drowning in criticism. Florida State’s Willie Taggart explained improper hydration might have been a factor in blowing an 18-point lead in a 36-31 opening loss to Boise State.

“They (players) need to start hydrating early in the week and take care of their bodies," Taggart said.

That’s fine. Except the presumably well-hydrated Seminoles needed overtime to escape Louisiana-Monroe 45-44 last week.

Tennessee’s Jeremy Pruitt cited the doomed Titanic in his weekly press conference. That was probably not the best analogy after a shocking opening loss to Georgia State was chased by an overtime loss to BYU.

"When the boat starts going down, remember all the mice running to the top, right? We have had a few that left our program, but you will figure out who wants to be a Tennessee Vol and who don’t,” Pruitt said.

UCLA’s Chip Kelly also referenced water — perhaps the formula is H(0-2) in L.A. — after opening with two losses to Cincinnati and San Diego State.

“You don’t tear up the root of the tree to see if it’s growing,” Kelly said on Monday “You just keep watering it, you keep growing it and doing what you’re supposed to do and that’s what happens over the course of time.”

Time might be running out for these coaches and a few others who were hired two seasons ago.

They were among 13 football coaches hired by Power 5 programs after the 2017 season. Coaches often thrive in their second seasons, but most of the coaches hired two years ago are struggling.

Taggart was 5-7 in his first season, is 1-1 now and will be an underdog against Virginia.

Tennessee’s 0-2 start — their first winless start since 1988 — follows a 5-7 finish in Pruitt’s debut season.

Kelly is now 3-11 at UCLA and faces Oklahoma on Saturday. A road trip to Washington State follows. An 0-4 start is a distinct possibility.

A look at Kelly’s predecessors at UCLA after 14 games: Jim Mora was 9-5, Rick Neuheisel was 6-8, Karl Dorrell was 6-8 and Bob Toledo was 6-8. All were eventually fired.

As far as other struggling coaches hired that year, Nebraska’s Scott Frost was 4-8 last season and is now 1-1 after blowing a 17-0 lead in a 34-31 loss to Colorado. Arizona’s Kevin Sumlin is 1-1 with a loss to Hawaii after going 5-7 last season. Oregon State’s Jonathan Smith is 2-14 overall. Ole Miss’ Matt Luck is 6-8 and Arkansas’ Chad Morris is 3-11 with victories coming over Eastern Illinois, Tulsa and Portland State.

Frost still appears to be popular at his alma mater in Lincoln, but already there are calls for the firing of many of those other coaches.

Those on the hottest of the hot seats may be Pruitt and Morris.

Pruitt must be looking over his shoulder at Athletic Director Phillip Fulmer, who coached the Volunteers to the 1998 national championship but was fired following a 5-7 finish in 2008. Many observers believe Fulmer has always wanted to return to as the Vols coach. That could happen as early as Sunday if Tennessee does the once unthinkable and falls to Chattanooga this weekend.

Morris’ threat is a little farther away — like Little Rock.

On Monday former Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino spoke to the Little Rock Touchdown Club and apologized that his tenure ended. He was involved an adulterous relationship with a woman he’d hired as student-athlete development coordinator. Petrino received a standing ovation. Forgiveness is easy for a coach that was 34-17 in four seasons, especially when the Razorbacks have managed just 36 victories in seven-plus seasons since his ouster.

“There’s no question the Hogs can come back,” Petrino told the Little Rock Touchdown Club.

Petrino was moved to tears during his apology. There’s more water. But presumably, none of the water was shed for Morris or the other second-year coaches who seem like they’re in over their heads.

Heisman watch (if my ballot was due today)

1. Jalen Hurts, Oklahoma, QB: True, the Sooners were feasting on overmatched South Dakota State. Still, Hurts followed up his brilliant opening performance against Houston with another gem. He completed 14 of 18 passes for 259 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for 47 yards in just over a half in OU’s 70-14 victory. He already has 814 yards of total offense and nine touchdowns. Next, he faces reeling UCLA.

0121656-dqve-240x135.jpg
Scott Wachter-USA TODAY Sports
Burrow lit up the Longhorns as the Tigers prevailed in a top-ten showdown in Austin.

2. Joe Burrow, LSU, QB: Burrow threw four touchdown passes in a 45-38 victory over then-No. 9 Texas. This after throwing five touchdown passes in an opening win over Georgia Southern. He’s also completed 81.8 percent of his passing attempts (54 of 66). Look for those crazy numbers to continue against the next three opponents — Northwestern State, Vanderbilt and Utah State.

3. Sam Ehlinger, Texas, QB: Give credit where credit is due. Ehlinger was nails in the loss to LSU. He passed for 401 yards and four touchdowns. He would have had another TD if not for a drop in the end zone. Ehlinger also rushed for 60 yards and a touchdown against the Tigers. He’s thrown four touchdown passes in consecutive games. Next he faces Rice,  which last week allowed three touchdown passes to Wake Forest’s Jamie Newman.

4. Tua Tagovailoa, Alabama, QB: Though Tagovailoa hasn’t yet been challenged by Duke or New Mexico State, he’s still been exceptional. He’s completing 76 percent of his passing attempts and has thrown for 563 yards and seven touchdown passes.

5. Jonathan Taylor, Wisconsin, RB: He had a rather pedestrian showing but didn’t need to be excellent in a 61-0 thrashing of Central Michigan. Taylor still rushed for 102 yards and 3 touchdowns, but that’s pedestrian by his standards. He also caught a touchdown pass. In two blow out victories, he’s rushed for 237 yards and has scored eight touchdowns.

Predicted playoff participants

1. Clemson: The Tigers have won 17 straight. They likely will add 11 more consecutive victories before getting challenged in the playoffs.

2. Alabama: Offense is explosive. Defense is stingy. Other than early kickoffs, the Tide has no complaints.

3. Ohio State: Michigan no longer looks like a major threat to the Buckeyes. Maybe Penn State? Maybe Wisconsin? Doubtful.

4. Oklahoma: Probably no Big 12 opponent — or UCLA — is capable of containing the Sooners’ high-scoring offense.

Idle thoughts and observations

• Not that I’m partial to Oklahoma, but if I was an Oklahoma fan at ESPN GameDay my sign would simply read: “We never left.”

• A week ago some were doubting the strength of the Southeastern Conference. Yet, after two weeks SEC teams are 5-3 in non-conference games against Power 5 opponents. That includes LSU’s victory over No. 12 Texas and Auburn’s victory over No. 15 Oregon.

• As for other conferences against Power 5 opponents: The ACC is 2-4, Big Ten is 2-2, the Big 12 is 1-2 and the Pac-12 is 1-2.

• In two games under Mack Brown, North Carolina has already equaled its 2018 win total.

• USC coach Clay Helton may save his job after all. The Trojans’ win over Stanford changes their outlook somewhat. A win over BYU this weekend would put them 3-0 going into the Pac-12, which doesn’t appear to have a dominant team. Helton may manage nine or 10 victories, which would seem sufficient to keep his job. Of course, the resignation of Lynn Swann as athletic director might be a bad omen for Helton. A new athletic director may want to bring in a new coach.

• Wisconsin still hasn’t allowed a point. Whether that means the Badgers have a powerful defense is up for debate. Wisconsin has shut out South Florida and Central Michigan. South Florida also has a 14-10 loss to Georgia Tech. Central Michigan scored 38 points in its opener, but it was against FCS member Albany. The Badgers next face Michigan on Sept. 21.

• How bad is Arkansas’ offense struggling? Well, only scoring 20 points against Portland State in the opener bad enough. But then the Razorbacks managed only one offensive touchdown in a 31-17 loss to Ole Miss. That touchdown was scored with 1:21 remaining in the game.

Coach, I don't think the fans at Arizona-- you know, the school where you now coach-- are exactly thrilled with your performance there, either. Maybe you and Jimbo can commiserate when you both get fired next year-- oh that's right, Jimbo's dumb ass was able to get himself a contract so audaciously stupid that he can't be fired for some time to come.

You... don't have one of these... do ya Kev?

I will only be surprised if he doesn't write it this week and analyze Tom Herman's failures and how Texas fans want him run out of town.

That is already inevitable. Slapping $500 million worth of aluminum siding and ground effects on that shitheap (and claiming it was a billion) is not a permanent fix. In another generation, somewhere in between the next two rounds of the contractual equivalent of a 40-something divorcee wearing "come fuck me" heels to a bar on Tuesday night, they will need to punch up Kyle Field again so it can be THE BESTEST CFB STADIUM IN 'MURCA AGEEYUN. 

Kyle Field is a decrepit 3500-sq ft house in Kingwood with a newly converted garage rec room and above-ground pool in the back yard. It's a shitheap in a shit location and rouging up that pig only fools the willingly duped. Namely everyone who pays to be there.

it's true.... I don't know why it happened, but they showed Malzahn ppwanting to kick off the second half with aggy just beginning to trickle out of the tunnel and him wanting them penalized. 
They should have been, too. The other team cut their break short to come out on time. You can't just rest longer because you want to.

You can imagine my shock when the hometown crew refused to call it.

Not to change the subject, or to trigger any white trash redneck school fans who are deeply invested in where opposing bands sit during college football games, but in the upper left (not even the visitor's side) one can locate the seating for the visiting band at yesterday's TCU/SMU game in Ft. Worth.

This is exactly where the UT band will be when Texas visits TCU this fall.

Cue the white trash, redneck moral outrage.

Those freaks are absolutely the worst about deciding who they like and don't like then blaming the coaches and players they don't like while never criticizing the ones they do like.  Somehow, to a lot of them yesterday was the fault of Mond (31-49 for 335 yds, 2 tds, no turnovers) and the wrs(all but 40 of their receiving yards).  A few years ago, their defense could get gashed for 600+ yards but no blame whatsoever for Chief.  Same shit with the Marine.

This is rather incredible. Summy received $10 mil lump sum from TAMU just for leaving, plus he has a $15 million, 5 yr contract from AZ. So he's not doing too badly. For the current 2-year period he'll be paid ~$15 mil per year or 7.5 on average, exactly what ole Jimbo's taking. But I hope he's ready for a little austerity the next 3 years...only about 3 mil per year, barring another separation and lump sum payment. Break out the violins.

How many offensive plays went for 1 yard?  40%?   the system and play calling were the problem.  Running clock for time of possession when down 3 scores in the 2nd half, same as they did at clemson, is just insane and screams puckered starfish.
