Tell Me About Texas a&m

Yeah, about that. A&M is defending fewer plays because it defends fewer possessions because it has fewer of its own offensive possessions. Last year, aggy scoring average was 33.4, good for #25. This year they clock in so far at 27.8, good for #61. So there is ball-hogging, and there is ball-slogging.

On 10/18/17, aggy was 5-2 with 5 remaining games including against MSU, Auburn, Ole Miss, and LSU. As of 10/18/18, aggy is 5-2 with 5 remaining games including against MSU, Auburn, Ole Miss, and LSU. SEC teams not named Bama are generally beatable, so aggy might stumble to a 9-3 record. But so far it is hard for me to see unequivocal evidence they are much better.

You are missing the most important difference.  THIS aggy team has the 2 best losses of the year.  Hell, they may be the 2 best losses of all time.  Jimbo effect!

In 2017 aggy opponent's scoring drives averaged 2:36.

So far in 2018, aggy opponent's scoring drives are averaging 1:53.

That's a 27.5% decrease in the average time it is taking their opponents to score.  Letting your opponent score quickly in order to inflate your time of possession sounds like a sure fire way to win more games.

Jimbo Fisher has jolted Texas A&M away from Kevin Sumlin’s up-tempo spread to a multifaceted, pro-style attack.

I've barely watched atm play this year but I'm pretty sure what they have is not a "multifaceted pro-style attack"

"There’s nothing revolutionary about this tactic. There isn’t supposed to be. If the other team doesn’t have the ball, they can’t score and if they can’t score, they can’t win. That’s kindergarten math by football standards."

It was my understanding that there would be no kindergarten math.

Have one thing right.

The loss of aggy was the best for a century.

The Jimbo Effect is the taking of a perennial 7 or 8 win team and turning them into an 8 win team, and having the fans sprinkle sparkles into their jizzjars.

“As Fisher stocks the A&M roster with more of his type of recruits, it would benefit the Aggies to speed things up.”

Comedy from a true idiot.  The author's bio on football scoop says, in part: " Zach joined the staff in 2012...and has been attempting to improve Doug and Scott's writing ability ever since (to little avail) "  A guy who thinks the following is the proper usage of matriculate is attempting to improve others' writing skills. 

"But it’s about more than just how Fisher chooses to matriculate the ball down the field."

It's not surprising that his bio doesn't say where he matriculated.

It’s possible that the rollercoaster doesn’t drop this year. They are so proud of trying hard and coming up short like a member of the Lillipop Guild. It might take getting hulled out in the bowl game for that.

How many rankings points is fiinishing a game with an "SEC score" good for?

 

[NeverMarryAStripper 21,912]

I assume by "SEC score" he's referring to a game where both teams are so crappy that neither can score

[Scholz 11,948]

It's not a loss if you don't believe it is.  /Costanza

I think the #jimboeffect is that they have  become proud of winning the tallest midget contest.

[msucolt45 4,063]

How Kentucky beat an “overrated Florida” is still not understood. As I stated earlier - the UK QB couldn’t hit his teeth with toothpaste that night!!! Surprisingly Mond was just as atrocious, because that F’er went to OT - and it wasn’t because it was a “SEC Defensive struggle.”

SEC is all BAMA, which hasn’t been tested for 4qtrs, and Georgia. GA was exposed in Red Stick, so I’d put LSU as 2a, whoever can step up to be 2b hasn’t been shown!
All hype and no substance!

I can’t recall the last Texas Longhorn Team that “championed” a LOSS, and I go back to the early ‘70s, as a fan of the Burnt Orange!

No Top 5 OU, ranked Arkansas, and etc! The Sherill Era sucked while growing up, because they cheated while we sucked, but karma took care of that. During the down times, I never recall hearing that the Horns only lost to XYZ by ???? points!!!

I'm fine with championing losses and moral victories WHEN IT'S APPROPRIATE. I went to SMU and watched the Mustangs go 1-11 my first year on campus. Being at the homecoming game my senior year where we took undefeated UCF to the last minute at home brought me great joy (at least until I got arrested that night but that's a different story).

It's not like there isn't a place for that in the world - there is. Sometimes effort should be applauded. Just not when you are expected to play at the standard Texas is.

aggy's problem is that they expect to win, but when they don't, it's always glossed over and worked into some strange narrative that they're "rebuilding" or "better than their record" or "having a down year". 

This phenomenon happens in perpetuity and has become known as the "aggy rollercoaster".

They've taken it as far to use the shroud of history to bathe mediocre seasons in myth and legend, convincing people that a pretty good 3 loss aggy team (that couldn't beat Texas) in 1998 was somehow exemplar of college football at its finest and most poetic.

If aggy accepted their status in the pecking order I'm sure they could crack open a cold one and enjoy a nice 9-4 season with a decent bowl win. But that will never be good enough for them - despite the fact that they will never be better than that.

Like the Alabama Arkansas game that had more points than the texas ou game?

I'm sure the bama arkie game was high scoring because of awesome offensive game plans and texas ou was high scoring because of shitty bdf defenses.

[chase25 2,048]

aggy currently has a thread on texags talking about how their defense this year reminds them of the "Wrecking Crew" lol.

2018

Texas Defense: 5.34 yards per play allowed

aggy defense: 5.88 yards per play allowed

If they are the "Wrecking Crew", is our defense the second coming of the '85 Bears?

Lol you can't compare them. One plays in the Big 12, one plays in the SEC.

 

 

For example, aggy will not play Kyler Murray this season.
