This first year mulligan they’re already conjuring up, in between takes of table running the rest of their schedule, is great because if elko is obviously not going to be the guy they won’t accept it for a while longer. 
 

As if they could afford his buyout and jimbo’s along with a newer coach.  Are they stuck with him no matter what until jimbo is off their books, or are their donors so stupid they’ll pay another one so quickly?

Are you asking if there is a limit to aggy stupidity?

This is the million dollar question for me too. It’s obvious with the fat comments that they can’t stand having this guy as the face of the program unless he is winning. They might actually fire him after 2 years because they’re too comfortable looking that closely n the mirror. Can’t imagine how wrecked their finances will be then.

Yeah don't sleep on BG. They went toe to toe with with Penn St this past week even while turning it over twice in their own territory, they have a bye this week, while aggy goes to the Swamp.

[MonkeyDoughnut 10008]

Elko very much has Tom Herman "I'm smarter than you" vibes and could easily snap answering questions on how they got smacked by a terrible Florida team and BG. Sept could be an epic implosion even by aggy standards.

The problem here is that Napier recruited Mertz to come back for this season and then had him elected as captain. Everyone is writing those aspects off when considering the situation. Put yourself in that guy's shoes for a minute.

We can all think what we want about Napier as a coach or person and I'm not some type of fan of the guy, but I can understand the inner conflict here for the guy as a man. That said, I also see the HC role in CFB as that of a "fiduciary" for the program, so he's still got overcome the personal issues and make the right choice for the organization.

This is an excellent way to put it. If Napier doesn't play the QB that gives them the best chance of winning, he's letting down the 84 guys on the roster (plus the AD and the fans). I'm sure it sucks for him personally to go back on promises he made to the kid, but he can't put the kid before the team. It's also a good lesson about not making those kinds of promises.

Was Mertz considering transferring? He sucks, but I am sure he would have had some options.

For those who check on this thread for football team info, I've C&P'd their snapcount data through the first two games and spoilered it. A few notes below:

-They benched Bryce Anderson as a starter. He could be starting at Texas but had to get that $250k bag while forgoing his future earning potential. Get fucked, dummy. 

-Shanahan was forced to play snaps at C while not being listed there. They have since announced that Erb, who is 6'7", will be the back-up C going forward. They worked Dewberry at C during practices last week and he was a disaster. 

-Speaking of Dewberry, he barely got snaps in garbage time against McNeese State. He can get fucked as well. 

-Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy, all 5 stars of his fat ass, got a whopping 7 snaps against McNeese State. There are multiple walk-ons on the DL who got more snaps.

-This is a reminder that the rankings of GBD, Doooby Doooby Dew, Shanahan, and Anderson all factor into the lazy 247 "talent composite index" or whatever the fuck it is called. 

-Some WR from Troy that they were all knob-slobbing in the spring until he got hurt came back and played 8 irrelevant snaps.

-Bussey played a bunch. Tarp reports that they're only comfortable with jet sweeps and reverses for him at WR. Apparently, he's just running around on routes and not usually where he is supposed to be and they don't trust him yet. The guy is talented and this was game 2, so I assume he's actually going to get better and play more. 

-Starting WR Walker broke a finger early in the game and played one snap. The Elk lied about his status after the game and said he could have returned. "All Day" Jahdae is kind of needed this week, so I'm going to be entertained when he's in street clothes on the sidelines. 

-Scooby Williams, the terrible but needed starting LB, didn't suit out. The Elk attempted to downplay how badly he's hurt, but couldn't confirm that he'd be ready for SEC play. 

-Elko won't let reporters say anything definitively about injuries, even season-enders, so enjoy that skirting from Tarp in the write-up.

Also, I've said this was going to be a bad team all offseason for reasons that are playing out and can be seen in the snapcounts. The JAGger Index for this team is through the fucking roof. 

 

Spoiler

The Texas A&M football team saw 71 of its players receive snaps on offense (31) or defense (40) when defeating McNeese State, 52-10, at home Saturday in Kyle Field. The snap count for each Aggie player vs. the Cowboys – and for the whole season – can be seen below.

Injury notes: Walker started the game before permanently exiting with an apparent finger injury. A&M head coach Mike Elko said Walker could have reentered the game but was held out for precautionary reasons.

Running back EJ Smith did not dress out for the game. Elko described Smith as a game-time decision, though he did not disclose the nature of his injury. As expected, center Mark Nabou Jr. (lower body), running back Rueben Owens II (foot) and tight end Garrett Miller (undisclosed) were among other players who were not dressed out for the game.

Barber made his first return from the foot injury he suffered in the spring. However, he only played eight snaps.

Starting lineup: Defensive ends Nic Scourton and Shemar Stewart, defensive tackles Shemar Stewart and Albert Regis, linebackers Taurean York and Daymion Sanford, cornerbacks Will Lee III and Jayvon Thomas, nickel cornerback Tyreek Chappell, and safeties Marcus Ratcliffe and Dalton Brooks. 

Injury notes: Starting will linebacker Scooby Williams did not dress out for the game. Elko said Williams "possibly" would have played if they were facing an SEC opponent. He did not disclose what held him out.

As expected, defensive end Enai White (knee) did not dress out for the game.

He and Venables are possibly the biggest liars in CFB when it comes to injuries, though. I've been assuming we'll see a whole bunch of "GTD" when they damned well someone isn't playing. Hope you're right, in any event.

Is Anderson really benched or are they just load managing a vet's snaps against a scrub team in a blowout? Brooks didn't get many snaps at S, either.

I can't imagine they both don't play a ton against Florida.

I don't know on this one. I viewed as a Milroe/USF thing. Regardless, why play him at all if you're not going to start him? He didn't need the reps vs one of the worst FSC programs on any schedule.

There is some good shit coming from the guys in the know on 247 right now. They're clearly tired of the bullying from aggie pravda. It's fucking hilarious. I'm posting the following takes from Tarp on a thread about Donovan Green. For anyone who's unfamiliar, Green was budding star at TE and tore his knee up in the runup to their first game last year. He's since gotten fat, out of shape, married, and unmotivated other than in regard to getting a degree and as much free food as possible.

Tarp

He's a big guy now.

A&M looked at its team in January and decided they needed to get bigger.

Thus, they made everyone bigger and somehow didn't think they need to replace a 325 pound NT.

[MonkeyDoughnut 10008]

So a TE putting on over 20 lbs in an off season while rehabbing an ACL injury isn't going to improve his performance? I guess the media day speak of the aggy writers priasing Elko getting the team "bigger" wasn't the good kind after all. /ShockedFace

The big thing about aggy is it's impossible to judge their pass defense based on the offenses they've played.

Arkansas will definitely test their defense. 

But in standard Petrino and Pittman fashion they will try to find a way to lose. Their loss to Oklahoma State this weekend was another classic Arkansas loss. Outgained Oklahoma State 648 yards to 385 yards but somehow didn't win.

Their offense has some weapons though that will challenge aggy.

The guy threw 3 tds in 6 games last year. He has thrown 0 in 2 games this year. He gets a ton of love for being gritty or some shit but he seems like he sucks.

A key moment in the game was with about 5 minutes left and ND was driving. 2nd and 1, I think. Leonard takes the snap and then throws deep into double coverage and it was picked. The WR didn’t really ever look open and Leonard underthrew him even if he was. 

Northern Illinois then squeezed the air out of the ball and kicked the game winning field goal with only like 15 seconds left on the clock. 

That singular play is so far the dumbest, most boneheaded play in CFB this year. There’s still a lot of football left to be played, but that could win the award for the year due to its damage inflicted. 

Notre Dame has taken 3 QB transfers in 4 years and has more or less destroyed hope in their room for the home grown guys. I’m here for it. 

[kevwun 15336]

I think he might actually be worse than Weigman and was just lucky to be bailed out by Love in the first game.

[MonkeyDoughnut 10008]

Leonard apparently injured his non-throwing arm in 1st half of the NIU loss. He basically can't run now either given that hit would take him out. Freeman sounded like a guy trying to explain why you were going to see their backup in the next game while trying to manage basically benching Leonard.  I get the dynamics of the transfer portal and NIL commitements to Leonard, but the backup Angeli has done nothing to show he isn't ready. Everytime he was called in last season he just lead them to score after score. He's definitely a better passer. I don't think Leonard starts again if Angeli sees the field.
