A&M's hand sign is the thumbs-up.
What's so hard about actually using a picture of Gilder in the cover photo?
He probably got kicked off for posting a video of himself using racist terms when referring to his former teammate, but it will still interesting to see if he (or Thomas Mars) carries on with his claims about A&M since Mars wants to be at the forefront of changing transfer rules
it sounds like he needed help, not be kicked out of his house. so many senseless crimes are committed by mentally unstable people, and families need a way to get these people help without having to fear them. without a court or doctor's order people can only be submitted under their own accord, and most won't agree to that even if they need it.
well conclusion number one is he had zero reason to be on the field. nothing outside of normal football stuff was going on there, and the refs were already doing what they always do by getting in between the players and making sure nothing escalated. if anything bert should have received a sideline warning for entering the field and interacting with opposing players.
Hall has five sacks, and it's worth noting that one of them came against mississippi state while taking down both prescott and a RB.
i have watched that replay many times, and any helmet contact (which i don't see) is secondary from the jar after the initial hit. if nothing else it was shoulder-to-helmet, which was more the fact that seals-jones is 5-7 inches taller than that other guy than anything. there should be some kind of discrepancy where if there was no intentional targeting/head-hunting, a foul can be called but the player doesn't have to be ejected.
be careful, receivers. if you block too physically, even if it's shoulder to shoulder, you could get ejected. (but seriously, how is a defender trying to make a tackle considered defenseless?)
maybe, but the title doesn't make that clear, plus it's showing as an SEC article, not a mississippi state one.
i have a feeling this writer really wanted mississippi state to win. the article is almost entirely about what they did to lose (even though they weren't favored), not what A&M did to win. in fact, it hardly gives A&M credit for anything at all. plus the player of the game AND honorable mention went to the losing side? come on.
it takes being good at more than one position to win a football game...
thank you for not holding arizona state's overrate-ness against A&M (unlike your power rankings guy who continues to point it out every week and even dropped A&M because of it while raising mississippi state for beating auburn, who btw is probably the only team that will prove to be even more overrated than ASU was at the beginning of the season.)
we get it: arizona state was overrated. however, that was not A&M's fault and they went into that game with the proper mindset, so you can stop holding it against them now.
the A&M-Arkansas question is so generic. who will show up? is all you've got? "can A&M's improved defense handle the largest OL in the country", or "can arkansas' struggling offense find success in the red zone against A&M's defense" seem to capture what the game will be about more than "who will show up".
you mean the same NC game where a bama fan was stupid enough to tea-bag a passed out LSU fan on camera?
it may be true that A&M has recruited better on offense than defense (ok it is), but the bigger problem was mark snyder's complicated, read-and-react scheme that didn't use players in their proper position or allow them play to their strengths. chavis came in, inserted a new mindset and scheme, and viola: the players are starting closer to the line of scrimmage, speeding around the field and actually making solid tackles before opponents can gain yardage instead of holding back and waiting to react to the play like they were before. there's still plenty of work to, and yes they need to work on building the line more to SEC standards, but i'd blame coaching and scheming more than recruiting on the last two years of futile defense.
it wouldn't hurt to point out that kyle allen got those numbers in less than 2 quarters and often with good starting position thanks to special teams or defense, so yeah his stats are going to be somewhat modest. however, he looked a lot better and more confident than last week, and that's what really matters.
the other side of the QB-situation coin with texas a&m is allen was sloppy against ASU (committed 3 TO's in 4 possessions, or something like that) and was having trouble handling the pressure from the blitzes. putting murray in threw off ASU's defensive game plan while also lighting a fire under allen, and he came back in more focused and determined. in that since i don't think sumlin did him any disservice or put that game on the line. we all agreed that while murray helped open that game up last week, he's still raw (especially passing) and allen still looked more SEC ready once he came back in and played like himself in the 4th, and he showed that again this week. i know you like to think you telepathically spoke to sumlin and made him do the right thing, but i'm pretty sure he knew what he was doing the entire time.
you wish. kyler's not even an inch shorter than manziel, so to say he will never be good as a college QB based on his height is wrong (the NFL may be another story, but he's only 18 so we'll cross that bridge when we get to it). it this point allen is more built for the job as the better passer, but it would be a mistake pull all your eggs from kyler's basket for good.
if nothing else it was very poorly taught or performed. if you look at the diagram they released, the depicted formation looks more like the Starship Enterprise than that, and one thing it does not have is two "circles" under the ship. also the ship wouldn't spear the jayhawk, but rather it would shoot it. oh, but depicting that would be too controversial among the liberals because it would encourage gun violence on campus!!!!
considering there's no "that defense was fluke" mixed in there, that tells me you think the defense is legit after one game but you're already judging the offense after one game (really 3 quarters because they looked like themselves in the 4th). how does that work?
Um, 2012 was not A&M's first winning season since 1998.
what did he say? as far as we know he was looking to see where the closest defender was.
sumlin has shown he can get it done on the road, so that's irrelevent. what he hasn't done is win any big games at home, and until he does that it won't matter how "friendly" A&M's road schedule is.
is it just me or has ole miss had the most boring unis of all lately? bo wallace sure didn't seem pleased with them...
yeah there's a few, but most of them follow that up with "but I'm an old Ag so...". at least they can identify themselves as out of touch with the modern era ;-)
saying that kyle allen handled last year's QB competition "like a child" sets the wrong image. that comes across as saying he threw a hissy fit/temper tantrum, which he did not. so he had a little cry about it, so what? I'm sure he's not the first nor the last 18 yr old to do so. still, he picked himself right back up, was always cheering on kenny hill from the sideline and was ready to go when called upon. he has always been mature, and saying that he wasn't when he arrived is incorrect.
so basically OU lost to a team (ND) who lost team (bama) who lost to a team (A&M) who beat OU. (and btw, you humiliated the SEC by loosing the stoops a year later, so thanks for that.)
The SEC didn't appreciate A&M showing up the big 12 and annual SEC-hater Bob Stoops in the '13 Cotton Bowl?
