Nobody body surfs off of others' success like aggy

They define themselves by not being tu's little brother, yet they also define themselves by the success of their SECX3 big brothers.  Quite the conundrum.

  The game has changed my friend. Good teams just scheme your D-line into being less effective. Look at Georgia. They've had an elite D-line for awhile, this is the first year that they've been able to say that it has been a real difference maker. Bama has had one for many years as well, and how many games has the offense had to win for them? It's not like it used to be. Give me an elite QB over a 5 star DT all day. Shit, I would even take a Devonta Smith over one .

Not sure I'd use Bama and Georgia having elite D-lines as examples of why elite D-lines don't mean shit. That's just me though.

If you look above I said scheme them into being less effective. Those two teams are loaded absolutely everywhere and have been doing so for years. Aggy has one top recruiting class. Lets cool the jets a bit. They already had a legit D-line and they lost 4 or 5 ball games depending on who is counting. The problem with aggy is they almost always have holes on their team. Either they are running some archaic system, or their QB is absolute trash. Bama and GA have talent at every single spot with coaches who are forward thinkers. Aggy has Jimbo.

Did this guy read his own article?

 Now, Texas A&M's defense, its strength this past season, will have to be rebuilt. Defensive coordinator Mike Elko left to become Duke's new coach; Aggies coach Jimbo Fisher hired Mississippi's D.J. Durkin to replace Elko. The entire front four on defense -- tackles Leal and Peevy and top pass-rushers Johnson and Clemons -- are expected to leave. Leading tackler Hansford will have to be replaced, as well. If King is healthy, he'll battle LSU transfer Max Johnson and incoming freshman Weigman, the No. 1 pocket passer in the ESPN 300, for the starting job next season.

Defensive rebuild, QB unsettled, and they didn't even finish in the top 25 this past season. Did the Aggies send a bagman to this guy, or is he just fully bought into the whole Darth Vader of College Football thing?

The '21 way-too-early write up was pretty funny looking back on it. ESPN had aggy #6 and they finished unranked. 

Spoiler

Outlook: The Aggies finally got a sizable return on their $75 million investment in coach Jimbo Fisher, closing the season with eight straight victories (each of the last seven by 10 or more points), including a 41-27 win over North Carolina in the Capital One Orange Bowl.

Texas A&M might be destined for even bigger things in 2021 if it can replace some key pieces on offense. Mond and at least three starters from a very good offensive line are leaving. Freshmen Zach Calzada and Haynes King will battle for the QB job this spring.

Tailbacks Isaiah Spiller and Devon Achane, utility man Ainias Smith and tight end Jalen Wydermyer give the Aggies a nice core of returning players on offense. More playmakers are needed on the perimeter. The defense, under coordinator Mike Elko's direction, led the SEC in total defense (317.3 yards per game). Top tacklers Johnson and Hansford, as well as top pass-rusher Bobby Brown III, will have to be replaced.

What was it the billboards said?  That A&M was the academic and clean program university of the SEC?  Wasn't that their jam?  

   By clean you mean the only institution to get hit with "Loss of Institutional Control" I think it was 3 times now?

That was the fucking joke, or part of it,  guys. Fuck. It was a total play on their pomposity combined with their full lack of self-awareness.

You can tell the whole thing still works because when it comes up, people still believe it was them and then start critiquing their idiocy in putting it up.

In all fairness, it is EXACTLY something they would do.

 It’s kind of like if someone saying Charlie Sheen went on a cocaine fueled bender and said something outrageously offensive, or made a fake account for ketch claiming his ham dealer retired.  Just something so believable it hard to believe it’s not true.

Nope.  Baylor does, indeed, have two wins in Omaha in their three trips.  aggy also has two wins in Omaha over their six trips.

So 2-6 for Baylor, 2-12 for aggy.

 

(Texas is 88-63, for comparison)

When in doubt - check aggypedia!

The new search feature we added is pretty good, too.

Seriously though, we're looking for new stuff to add. If you'd like to either be a guest contributor for a new article or you have some additions/corrections to our current stuff, let us know!  We'll keep you anonymous so the aggy hordes don't try to dox you.

Someone should definitely add in the development of the one of a kind freight shuttle system they invented in 2017.  You may know it as a train.
