For a national/regional website, this was a very well researched article. Well done, SDS.

Just a few points from someone who follows the program incredibly closely: -"diminutive" is a little harsh. Ben Malena was small, sure, but Tra Carson is a bowling ball. The problem isn't their size, it's their usage. That, along with your tight end comment, are both off. Hence the reason we brought in Dave Christensen to establish a more Alabama-esque power run game. We also never throw it to said tight ends... Whether that was due to off-field issues or our OC not wanting to use him (or his injury against USC), being a TE for A&M doesn't guarantee any catches. -same with the receivers, again which we've replaced the coaching at Beaty left for Kansas. Whether play calling or inability to get open, you didn't see some of our best talents getting looks in the middle to deep parts of the field. -I don't know if I would say we've played below expectations. Remember, everyone in the Texas media and our friends in Austin thought we would get crushed for a decade. Then we went 11-2 and destroyed the co-Big 10/12 champs in the cotton bowl. We also knew that 2014 was going to be a major rebuild. My personal prediction was 6-6 to 7-5 and we got towards the top of that. However, with recruiting and new coaching changes, expectations will be high from here on out. With a revamped offense (needed) and John Chavis coming in, I'm hoping for 8 to 9 wins with a possibility for 10 if Chavis can work a miracle. I'd say 2016 is where the pressure REALLY starts to mount.

"According to Chip Brown..." Stopped reading.

"do u really believe Illinois, Purdue, indiana, nebraska would slaughter the new Kentucky or Mizzou?" So did you purposely put Indiana and Mizzou in this sentence or did you miss the week that Indiana beat Mizzou?

Bro, put down the red solo cup and back away from the computer. You need to think a little more objectively (I know, it doesn't exist on college football message boards). This is not an easy game for OM and you have no idea about A&M's offense.
