I'd rather see some enterprising UT engineering student figure out how to crack the feed and start playing Air Supply, Barry Manilow and Celine Dion for the good folks of College Station.

Or noise canceling tones. That would be amazing.

From aggy Mike on Texags:

If you look at the top 6 teams of the sec (all who have 1 or 2 conference losses and are in contention for the SEC conference title game - note there will be at least one two loss team), A&M has not played a single premier team (we remain the only team not to have played a top SEC team). Honestly, outside of losses to two currently ranked teams (south Carolina, Notre Dame), we may not have a played (no wins) a currently ranked team when the polls update (LSU & Missouri May both become unranked).

TU has a weak schedule but they have played UGA (1 loss). So it looks like the SEC conference ranking is really based on who you play. TU has the 2nd easiest conference schedule after A&M.

This will definitely hurt A&Ms conference championahip aspirations (if we get another regular season loss) and playoff chances.

The only team that we played in the SEC with a winning conference record was South Carolina and that was a blowout.

We need to think of our resume and how marketable we are to the playoffs committee, recruits, etc. The TU game is what we need more than anything as it would provide justification to our ranking (or alternatively support naysayers pointed to our weak schedule as the only reason why we have a good record).

Wow.  It's like coming home to find my dog reading a book.

Impossible to do except right at the source; i.e., an equivalent speaker array polling their noise and negating it with the out of phase equivalent.

Can’t you just unplug it?

That would be the holy grail of noise cancellation, yes.

Adding speakers? A few years ago they had to turn down the volume to keep bat shit stadium intact. They trying to implode the place again?

Something funny about A&M playing a night game at Auburn desperately needing some wins to hope for bowl eligibility . 

It's a shitty team this year , even lost to Mizzou and Arkansas. 

War Damn Eagle either way

Where will Texas A&M football turn after losing Husan Longstreet to Lincoln Riley and USC?
The first big recruiting loss for Texas A&M football under Mike Elko has arrived under unexpected circumstances. The 8-2 Aggies are having a great season, showcasing an improved offense and still controlling their own destiny for the SEC championship—and, therefore, the playoff as well.

And yet, now is the time that five-star QB Husan Longstreet out of Corona, CA, chose to flip to the USC Trojans, who currently sit at 5-5 in a very disappointing year. Longstreet had been committed to the Aggies since April, when A&M turned up the heat for the then-four-star.

As I say, the timing here may be the biggest head-scratcher. USC is currently lacking in fan support, flagging in several on-field areas, and Lincoln Riley might just be on the hot seat. In contrast, the Aggies have an arrow firmly pointed up.

The most likely contributor is probably the shifted depth chart for the Aggies. Previously, it seemed that Conner Weigman was the no-doubt starter for the Ags until he headed to the NFL, at which point it would be an open competition. Now, it looks like the younger Marcel Reed has entrenched himself as A&M's starter.

ADVERTISING

So where do the Aggies look to replace Longstreet? A five-star substitute would be Keelon Russell out of Duncanville, currently committed to Alabama. That is pretty unlikely, though, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the Ags put on the full court press if possible.

If not him, then I expect them to take a look at some guys around the state committed to smaller programs like Baylor or TCU. They have a bit of a longer timeline now with Marcel Reed as the guy—and I did like what we saw out of Miles O'Neill last night—but you'd still like to take a guy who's not a total project. There are several of those players out there who are gettable for the Aggies, but they'll have to move fast.

“Smaller programs,” like Baylor and TCU. Both of which have significantly more success this century than TAMU. If they would just accept that they’re Mississippi State, they’d be much happier. But they insist they’re Bama. That’s (one reason) why they’re so unhappy.

Sure… “smaller”

As always is the case. Just don’t know who there are.
