After yesterday's loss, Jimbo is now 13-13 against the SEC West. 

Sounds like it’s time for a commemorative cup

This is why there is not now, nor has there ever been, anything to fear from aggy.  Five years in and he wouldn’t trade Jimbo for any other corch out there.  I guess I won’t be invited.  

Clickety clack, clickety clack …

 

This is the thing I've never understood. If you take the totality of his career, Jimbo is a good coach. But he's not Saban. Yet they revere him as if he's Saban squared.

"Got Jimbo!" Okay. That should get you some winning seasons, which is what they've had. But they're still waiting for him to erupt as some juggernaut for the ages. The only thing that explains it is that believing Jimbo is extra special lets them wallow in the delusion that they are, too. 

p.s. And I say this being fully aware that Jimbo has a chance to field a pretty sturdy defense over the next few years.

You guys won’t believe this story. 
 

Spent The Weeknd in Seaside FL for my kid’s fall break. Listened to Craig Way from the beach pounding beers. Stepped in to the house for lunch and watched most of the 3q before heading back to my spot. 
 

About 3:30 I made my way back to the house , loaded up my wagon, chairs , cooler, Bose etc and stopped for a Cuban sandwich right there by the crosswalk in front of the little half moon shaped entrance to the main Seaside area. Mrs JD horn and my 3 daughters , plus a friend went to the outlet (no pics), giving me a hall pass for the bama game later that night.   A couple horn fans came by as I was eating my Cuban and we chatted about the game , high fived etc… 

 

Fast forward a few hours and I make my way to Bud and Alleys for the bama game. I run in to those same Texas fans and they have a table and one of them is a huge bama fan too, so we talk a bit and bs until I see a spot at the bar open up. I excuse myself and almost immediately, the lady and her date (I presume husband/bf) start asking me questions ;  who are you rooting for (i show my Texas belt), as i was using an Auburn coozie (my oldest is at AU) etc..I tell them I’m a Texas grad , but that I’m pulling 100% for bama as I can’t stand Aggie. She proceeds to tell me she is an Aggie grad and can’t believe I wouldn’t be rooting for the “state”.  I tell her as politely as I could , In my mind it just doesn’t work like that. 
 

for 2.5 hours the conversations were very pleasant , she keeps adding that she can’t believe I’m rooting for bama , I keep telling her I hate the aggies , and she proceeds to get completely shit faced. 
 

here’s why i posted …toward the end of the game, she leans over and tells me the most god awful racist joke right in front of Her date (by this time I learn  it’s a blind date) the joke is awful, like as bad a N word joke as there is. She looks at me kind of blankly, like why aren’t you laughing (her date wasn’t either), and I tell her as calmly as I can , now you know why I hate the aggies. 
 

I have her card , I could out her, as being a racist . She owns an engineering firm in Montgomery AL

Tale of the aggy tape... Through 54 games at Collie Station

SS Rum Runner: 38-16
Bilbo Aggins: 37-17

SS Rum Runner would post a remaining record of 13-9 in his next 22 games before getting fired.

[Sir Ulrich 5337]

They've had insane turnover luck so far this year with 7 fumbles forced and 7 recoveries. By comparison we have 4 forced and 0 recovered. If that luck evens out like it usually does then the Miss State game should be the blue print for their remaining games. Without short fields then scoring 21 will be more than enough to beat them here on out.

Cole Cublic said the TAMU team was nothing like the team that has been playing this year. Cole said this is the second year in a row that TAMU does no pre snap movement, no shifting around in the games before Alabama and then when they play Alabama there is movement on every play. Cole said I dont get it. Does Jimbo think the Alabama game is the only game that counts?

i can't WAIT to see where this stands at the end of the year + at the end of next 22 games.

using the word "diagramming" with that play is being generous. All 11 Bama players could have literally sat on their thumbs and Aggy would not have scored.

There's a chance Jimbo is saved by Connor Weigman. He's a very highly rated QB. That doesn't guarantee success, but it doesn't hurt. I mean, Jameis Winston saved his career before. Of course if Jimbo stays with his dumb ass offense from the 50s, it might not matter

Ah yes, the backup qb is the savior. Just like King (247 .9397 rating, composite 4*, ranked 5* by some before senior season), Stowers (247 9268, 4* composite), Calzada (247 .8817, 3* composite), and Foster (247 .9055, 4* composite) before him.

Maybe the problem isn’t the players. Maybe it’s the player development and offensive scheme. Who’s responsible for that, and is that going to change before Weigman hits the field?

Jumbo knows that Bama is aggy' s superbowl. He could and does shit the rest of the season but as long as he looks competitive against Bama, aggy will crow Don't care, got Jimbo. He knows he can't ever run the table in the SEC. Just as long as looks good against Bama, they'll moral victory and chant "next year!"

If he hits the portal, there really won’t be any difference between him and Sumlin (other than the obvious). Losing two 5* qbs, including one to OUsux who went on to win the Heisman was a big factor.

In thinking more on this I looked at FG kicking cause outside of blocks there needs to be luck involved with opposing kickers.

So far this year kickers have only converted on 5/12 attempts (1 block vs Miami) this year against a&m including a GW miss against arky and 2 that would have swung the Miami game. On the other hand kickers are 8/8 against us with both losses coming on GW kicks. 

This is another stat that if regressed to the mean could swing those toss up games they have to win on the back end of the schedule.
