I apologize. I guess you were right. Sliced Bread has just reported on a Oklahoma fan site that the Hicks family are now jetting around in a new GulfStream. David was given a Lamborghini and a Bentley convertible plus 6 million for ‘walking around money’ until he arrives next year. Construction on the new 500 million dollar Hicks Sports Science Institute breaks ground on the TAMU campus next week.

And Tigers walk

Great minds think alike.

Leach has had A&Ms number for years, even before he went to Miss State. I expect to be out-coached again this year.

You’re right, not very imaginative. Topless would probably be a better strategy.

If the Hogs show up in beast mode you will have game. The coaches will not need to motivate the players. They have a second chance to show a national audience who they are. Underestimate the Hogs at your own peril.

Interesting history. Hope the Razorbacks put last week in the past and put together a really solid game. I would love to see this one be settled late in the 4th quarter.

I think you’re right. Unfortunately, saying something provocative seems more important than trying to contribute an actual insight, and the balance between the two seems to be toward provocative. He has to earn a living somehow and this seems to be working for him.

You’re right. This is consistently inconsistent. I don’t know what, or if, there is some accepted convention on how to refer to no-longer-ranked teams. If you want to get this right then it should be year end rankings, which means don’t use the reference or say ‘ranked at the time’ and the reader can decide if it’s relevant, or should be ignored. I have no idea where A&M will end up at the end of the season or how our wins and losses will stack up.

This is meaningless nonsense and the problem with having a contract to produce x articles per week. A&M wasn’t as bad as the world believed after App State (including many A&M fans) and it’s completely premature to proclaim that anything has been ‘turned around’. It’s a work in progress. The assessment can be made at the end of the season. Lots of football yet to be played.

…...and if A&M hadn’t held Arkansas scoreless for nearly 40 minutes in the middle of the game the chip shot wouldn’t have been necessary ……and if pigs could fly

I predict the game will be 60 minutes long

The article is commentary on the fan base, not the coach and his contract. For the 120 years that TAMU has been playing football, the fans, initially only a few thousand military cadets, have had a clear-eyed realism about success or failure on the grid-iron. You’re not always going to win but there is nothing wrong with aspiring to the best or among the best, and this won’t happen without supporting the team through thick and thin. We were humiliated by App State and the next weekend 107 thousand people showed up to yell themselves hoarse. This does not make us different or more special than other fan bases but it is a reason to love college football.

Good add. It would be fun.

It would be more embarrassing to wish for a schedule with only teams you think you could beat. Getting beat up by Georgia is a right of passage.
