Five bold predictions for Texas A&M football vs. USC: How Aggies will thwart Trojans
Texas A&M football is gearing up for their bowl game against the USC Trojans this Friday. This promises to be one of the more entertaining games on the entire bowl slate, given the big brands and the style of team each program boasts. Here are five things I think we see in this one.

Shootout in the desert
This is a game that I see ending up as pretty high-scoring. The USC defense is already not great, and they're losing several players before this one. Even though the Aggies won't be at full strength at the skill positions, I think they'll still be able to move the ball on the ground pretty well. I could see the final combined score getting up into the 70s or 80s— something we've only seen in one Aggie game this year, and that one was a triple-overtime venture.
Rueben Owens goes for 100+ in total yardage
Speaking of a big day on the ground, I think we see Owens back much closer to form than previously. Though I expect Amari Daniels to get the bulk of the carries, Owens should be much more game ready than he was for Texas. With his ability to receive out of the backfield, return kickoffs, and run the ball, I think he ends up with over 100 yards in total offense.

Rylan Kennedy registers multiple TFLs
A guy we saw begin to emerge in last year's bowl game will now get the start in this year's bowl. Kennedy has flashed massive potential all year, and now he will get as many snaps as he's had all year. He'll capitalize on that opportunity, to the tune of multiple tackles for loss.
Aggies turn over Trojans more than once
Lincoln Riley's squad is a -2 in turnover margin for the year, losing 18 and gaining 16. The Aggies are a +4, having gained 17 and lost 13. Mike Elko's defense will create a couple of big takeaways here in this one to give the Aggies the edge when it comes down to the final minutes.

Texas A&M football wins by double digits
Though I think we see a little bit of back and forth in this one, this is a game that Texas A&M football should win comfortably. The Aggies will pull away in the second half here and end up winning by 10+. If I'm right, that'll be a nice way to end the year, with an exciting 2025 to look forward to.
 

Just killing it so far on these five bold predictions through the first half. A true nostradumbass.

Is there really no aggy v Toejams thread?  I’m no aggy fan, except today.  SC ragret hiring Riley is glorious.  They are stuck deeper than aggy was with Jimbo.  They won’t pay what A&M did.   They’re just going to suck the tailpipe for a few more years.

What's the deal? I would imagine that USC has a very wealthy alumni that could finance a major NIL program and buy out Riley. Why are they living like poors?

They’re have bought out an AD and a president.  They have a healthy alumni base but they feel tapped out.  They won’t just throw money down the shitter.  I know more Trojan whales than UCLA whales.  They’ve never been in a situation where they still have 7 or so years left on a deal.  Bohn thought it was an automatic hire to get to at least the playoffs.  He would own recruiting in SoCal which honestly means you own recruiting.  It hasn’t played out as planned.  We’ve sucked, but at least they’ve sucked along with us.

Take it to the we don't give a shit thread. Tonight is about aggy tears and laughter at them. The fact that this makes you sadder makes me laugh harder. You have the dodgers, so hate aggy or go.

I kid. Kind of.

It's glorious over at texags. lol

Someone posted that Elko is a Golden Corral buffet coach on a Ruth's Chris budget. I mean, he does look grotesquely obese and aggy sure does spend (waste) a lot of money on incompetent coaching staff, so they have a point. 

aggy will never stop being aggy. Glorious.

Another entry into aggy stupidity in the wild. My wife and I were out looking at houses today, we drop in to a new build subdivision that was on the way and speak to the realtor lady sitting at the model. She was nice enough, but then she uncorked that she grew up in B/CS and went to A&M. My wife being a 2%er said she also went there, and then I said “Yep, and then there is me who went to Texas”. 
 

Her countenance totally changed and really awkwardly and loudly she goes, “OH! *hisssss* *hissssssssss*” i just kind of looked at her and she just kept going with the hissing. It was the last words she said to me the entire time. Can you imagine being this stupid in a real life business setting? 

Any time some aggy goober says anything to me unsolicited about Texas, I automatically look at them like they’re a fucktard and move right along. No one pulled your string, aggy.

I don't know how you didn't interrupt her mid hiss and ask her if there was an adult professional at her firm you could speak to? No way I'd give a commission to someone acting like a regarded child during a real estate transaction.
