Lulz. I never even thought about their cupcake 2020 schedule getting skipped because of all this. That would be a hilarious silver lining.

It's occurred to me several times. I've never really come close to hoping it happens, because, well, I'm not an aggy. Robbing myself of one of my favorite things in life to simply spite someone else is their shtick. But I'll be goddamned if it won't get at least one smile out of every otherwise dreadful saturday this fall if that is what happens.

The silver lining for aggy is at least they’d finally know what year to chisel in on the 20__ national championship trophy that’s sitting all alone in their Hall of Champions.

Their 2021 schedule is just as easy, the only difference is they play LSU early

They'll lose @ Bama', @ Auburn, and they wont have miracles and bogus calls to beat LSU at home again.

They'll lose 1 to the Mississippi schools with an outside shot at both now that they have competent HC's.

The rest of the home games will be W's and they'll probably win @ South Carolina by a FG or something.

ESPN's updated FPI for A&M

vs Abelene Christian- 99.6%

vs North Texas- 97.9%

vs Colorado- 93.0%

vs Arkansas- 86.8%

at Miss State- 85.2%

vs Fresno State- 96.6%

at Auburn- 29.5%

at South Carolina- 65.7%

vs Ole Miss- 82.8%

vs Vanderbilt- 96.2%

at Alabama- 13.5%

vs LSU- 37.5%

I think the Arkansas an Miss State odds in particular are way too high

It's amazing how they include games against their shitty opponents like that means anything. Excluding those games last year, Texas State, Lamar, and UTSA. They were outscored 23.6 to 26.9, while going 5-5 in those games. They year before it was 32 for them vs. 29.2 for their opponents, with a 6-4 record.

In Jimbo's tenure they are 11-9 against non-FCS/low level G5 teams, being outscored 27.8 to 28.1, they aren't anywhere close to competing in the SEC west.

You take away the bullshit officiating in the 2018 LSU game, and it's 10-10 being outscored 25.3 to 26.

Mond will end up around the 4th best QB in the SEC this season behind Costello, Nix, Trask, and maybe Newman.

Even that seems overly optimistic. You’re not even including Bama or LSU’s QBs who will almost definitely have better years due to scheme and surrounding talent alone. I also think there’s a good chance that either guy who wins the Ole Miss starting spot will be better. 

Jimbo has shown he’s going to keep on trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Mond could be better with a coach who optimized his skill set, but with Jimbo, I’d say he’ll be around 7th best in the SEC.

I don't think Mond is even that much better than Felipe Franks.

Another thing to consider is most of aggy's opponents they are penciling in as wins are going have much better QB play than last season.  Kostello and Franks are huge upgrades for Miss. State and Arky.  Ole Miss and South Carolina QB's should be a lot better after playing as true freshmen.  And Bo Nix will be a lot better as well.  Mac Jones will be good enough to beat them and LSU will be a lot better by the time they face aggy than early in the year.

So all they need is Mond to have a Heisman campaign, the Biletnikoff award winner, and the Jim Thorpe winner?  Oh and their #1 back to rush for 1400+ yds.  Sounds very doable with the group they fielded last year.   And to think there are redasses all over thinking they are just a few months away from being the '19 tigahs. Go home Olin, you're drunk stupid.

To be fair, he's also drunk. And a racist. Like a real deal, hardcore racist who hates brown and black people despite being married to a brown person.

Interesting.  All I know of him is that he looks stupid, and writes articles that are generally stupid, and it's all par for the course because...aggy.

Oh hey Vernon. 

 

COLLEGE STATION, Tex. (KBTX) - College Station police have arrested Vernon Jackson, 20, for assault family violence strangulation. 

According to online police records, Jackson went over to a woman’s home on March 4 to look for his wallet. While he was there, he demanded the woman give him the passcode to her phone.

The police report says that the woman denied Jackson's request, and then Jackson repeatedly choked her and prevented her from breathing. He also allegedly slammed her head against the floor.

The woman reportedly had bruises on her arms and throat. Jackson told police the argument never got physical.

Jackson was recruited to play football for Texas A&M University in 2018. Texas A&M Athletics confirms Jackson is an enrolled student at A&M but hasn’t played football since his injury last year.

Officials with the athletic department say protocol will be enacted following these allegations.

Good news for their stretched thin roster, assuming he hadn't already been processed for a medical scholarship. Which he might have been.

Yeah, Jimbo basically doesn't give a fuck who he recruits as character risks.  One of their selling points is that you do not have to go to class.  It's funny that they will do anything and take any player if it means it will help them win... yet they are a perennial loser.

Uh, we'd have happily taken Vernon Jackson (though not as an RB). It's more about the culture within the program allowing dipshittery to run wild.

Was he the kid from Boling that we wanted to play DL, but he instead went to aggy because he was promised to play RB?

So I got an Aggie story. And I'm mainly a recruiting board guy, so yall are gonna get it. 

I work with a close family member of former  Aggie basketball coach Billy Kennedy. 

Seems He ain't real happy w aggie. Jimbo approached him about buying his house for one of his assistants in BCS. And ol Billy told them to " fuck off".  I'm told in those words exactly. Wouldn't sell to Jimbo or any aggie connected person. 

Aggie Still out there making friends and influencing people. Smh. 

Warm and fuzzies for me and my men

What do you know about Dabo Swinney in regard to his reputation vs. how he actually is? Not at all asking you to talk down on the guy if he isn't what he's cracked up to be, but I've heard both things: that he's not at all like he seems to be in the public eye and is a fraud, and also that he's exactly the same "good ol' boy" as seen in the public eye. Just wondering what you've heard about him!

These fucks seriously ask Billy Fucking Luicci to comment on how Dabo Swinny is as a real person and expect him to tell them the truth?

As if Billy has ever even met him or know fuckall who he is or how he “really is”?

And they actually believe him or lend a single iota of credence to what he says?

As if aggie jokes aren’t real.

a guy that the composite has as the overall #145 and that Top247 has as the #118 player overall is the "most underrated prospect in the country"?

Are you going to cancel your contract with The Athletic? They have made it very clear today what they think of A&M.

Over that tweet? In a word, no. I thought the tweet was just an attempt at humor to get retweets and likes. Like all of you, I don't particularly like seeing folks like Mandel and Sallee continuing to just not let the 10-year, $75 million thing go, and I find it strange how so many in the national media seemed genuinely offended that Fisher left Florida State for A&M. There's no doubt that plenty of people would love nothing more than to see Jimbo fail despite the fact that his salary isn't out of whack AT ALL at this point in time based on resume and the fact the Ags had to hire him away from the place where he won a title. I'm not even sure Stewart feels that way at all, but plenty in the media do. Even if he did and was taking a shot, we're not going to agree with everything that comes out of a collection of hundreds of writers around the country. Remember Feldman's opinion on the decision-makers at A&M when Sumlin was on the verge of getting fired? Finebaum, McFarland and several others on the SEC Network have taken their shots over the past eight years, as have the folks on ESPN. If it ever gets to the point that a pattern develops, you're talking about something different. To me, that quote was enough to elicit an eye roll and not a response

That's the only tweet from Mandel/Feldman/The Athletic over the past few days that even slightly mention A&M. Is that question really that upset over this? The amount of time they spend being thin skinned knows no bounds.

When do you think we'll hear something official about if/when/how the CFB season is played?

Not until at least a month from now and probably not until the start of or even the middle of June. Early June if it's going to start on time and mid- to late-June if we're looking at a late start.

This is such a great 9.95 answer. He gives 4 different possible dates.
