I think we take them seriously when they *checks notes* play a real football team. I mean seriously, they played Wright State and Buffalo. Every SEC team should paste them handily. I’ll take them seriously if they are undefeated when they play Bama. At least by that point they’ll have played a team that is better than their 3rd string.

Well I think this seals the fact Petrino was OC in name only. Man can still coach an offense up.

If CBN loses against us then Florida will have to look real hard for a w. I wouldn’t be shocked if he is gone after the GA game. If Mertz is out then the wheels will really be coming off…

I mean Mizzou does belong on or near the perenium

I’ll give you Jimbo, I mean we gave the dude an undated national championship plaque. That was embarrassing. But Petrino, I think everyone expected him to actually run the offense and not have Jumbo pull a Jerry Jones. Ironically, if Petrino actually had full control Jumbo would probably still be leading us to a 7-8 win season this year.

I’ve got us between 8-4 and 9-3. SC and UF seem to be the most likely to flip, but I also wouldn’t be shocked with us winning either the ND or t.u. game.

With our track record of injured QBs over the last what, 5 years straight, it’ll take a season or two without a season ending injury for that disclaimer to go away. Hell, I’d be willing to say A&M beats sc with Jaylen Henderson under center.

Totally agree, but Connor forgot one thing… the one place A&M consistently wins on the road is at Columbia. If Weigman is healthy A&M beats sc by 20+. Auburn I can give him, but I see FL as a total toss up and could go either way. If we can beat Miz and LSU, then we should be looking at a 9-3 record as a floor.

Also know, David Wasson either knows nothing about the SEC, or he used AI to write this article.

Because it’s the color of our souls once the calendar hits late October. Blame Battered Aggie Syndrome

Except that A&M and t.u. haven’t played in 12 years, it was one of the major losses of realignment and having it back this year has already made it one of the most hyped games of the year. Unless both um and osu are in play for a spot in the championship game then Gameday will be in College Station.

The mouse needs to pony up all the cash to buy the rights to the CBS anthem. Imagine, we get the soundtrack to our childhood without Gary.

As much as I didn’t like the commentators this is a massive step down from the CBS intro.

Well, tu just suffered their first L in the SEC. That video OU put out was fantastic.

You can’t argue that didn’t put A&M at a distinct disadvantage. Since ‘75 A&M is 19-18 vs t.u. So it’s been very evenly matched

Roll that series back to when A&M allowed women. Won’t be talking too much then. But hey if records from your grandparents generation makes you feel better go for it.

I love my Aggies, the hate barn, the largest student section in the country and the traditions, but any list where LSU isn’t #1 is invalid.

The Junk-Pro Big Dumpster Fire Conference?

Based on that trailer this game has the potential to ruin a lot of marriages. Football season officially starts 7/19 yall.

I don’t think you fully understand how hard it is to beat a team who has a player with a 99 score on clipboard holding. Arch Manning is an absolute legend in that regard

His comment about only playing in Austin is exactly why we’ve always known t.u is insufferable and everyone who isn’t familiar with them is starting to find that out. We’ll play you, but only so long as we get all the money. Now does everyone understand why we didn’t play them after we left the big dumpster fire?

CBK isn’t going anywhere. He just got a massive gift with Saban leaving and a shell of a team. At this point if their defense steps it up marginally then go ahead and book the trip to Atl. Although they do play A&M in College Station this year, but still I only see them with one, maybe 2 losses next year. Why would CBK leave that and go to a team that just lost all of its major talent, facing a very difficult schedule , and facing the NCAA with major sanctions on the table. No thanks.

A Few Google Men, starring Brian Kelly

Really, if you're on scholarship and choose not to play then you have violated the contract between you and the school. You are receiving a scholarship to play. If that occurs and the player decides to transfer, then the NCAA should force that transferring player to sit a year.

I think there is a really easy solution. If you sign an NIL deal and you opt out of any game (healthy scratch) then you forfeit that year's proceeds. If you transfer after signing an NIL deal and only playing for one season, you can't sign another deal/ have to sit for one season. The first part is all in the contract the players sign and is up to the people offering the NIL to put it in the language, but the second part can come from the NCAA. That would at least force the players to seriously think about which schools they commit to and cut down on some of this absurdity.

Yes, we had a ton of lost talent from the portal, but can we also mention the Elko has the #1 class in the portal right now. It giveth and taketh. Our defense next year might actually be better, even with the losses.

Can we please not mention the name Fran. It has been eternally banned from use in College Station

I don’t see a downside to that

A&M also had a huge number of opt outs and injuries but you didn’t see them roll over and quit. They also fielded a QB in a bowl game that had his first meaningful action. That FSU team looked like the same GA team that lost to TX in the Sugar Bowl, uninterested and pissy they got left out of the playoff. This time of year numerous teams are playing without players who were key during the season, time to stop using opt outs as an excuse for not showing up as a team.

So then I guess Brett is forgetting that FSU barely got past a Louisville team that lost 4 games… It’s about the team that was fielded today and not the one the first week of September. The outcome was predictable because their offense was totally inept without their QB, it didn’t matter who they played in the bowl games. That’s the real reason they got left out.
