Nebraska is also a terrible matchup for A&M… teams that are good from 3 are nearly impossible for A&M to beat.

Amazing time for him. I figured he’d be 4.3s. 4.21 is a ridiculous time.

Thats true. It very well could be he ends up somewhere else because of that.

I’ve been reading this was pretty much done after the coaching change. He’s not buying into the changes since his position coach is gone. I think it’s the reason so many DBs were brought in the portal. I would imagine he’s lsu bound after the spring.

I watched that buzzer beater several times and I’m pretty sure the shot wasn’t blocked he just lost it and regained possession after the travel. They would have never called something that close but it shouldn’t have come down to that to begin with.

Football doesn’t drive the bus in the big 12. It’s been a basketball conference for a while now imo. Very good depth.

Idk about that one. There are some really strong academic programs out there. LSU and OU fit in here. Probably Bama as well. It’s a far cry from most though imo.

I think Bama fans are about to be very surprised how much of an impact Saban had for them. Alabama will always be a very good program. They know what it takes to win from an organizational standpoint and they will keep trying until they get it right. But they are in for a rude awakening if they think life will be the same under any coach not named Saban. He was the best to ever do it. They will likely never achieve the run they had those 15ish years under him again. Hell honestly nobody probably ever will. There were most definitely players who understood that and 100% went to Alabama solely for Nick Saban.

My guess is there were certain expectations that needed to be met for him to receive all the funds/perks and he didn’t meet them. Goes to social media and tries to slander because that’s what immature and emotional 20 year olds do.

Theres a reason he’s not at A&M. It’s because A&M is not doing these things.

They lose about 80% of their receiving production and several big pieces of the defense. Really don’t understand the take of them not losing much. Im not saying they are going to suddenly become a 6-6 team, just don’t think they are a playoff contender. I can see a 8-4 or 9-3 type season where they drop a game or two that’s close like they did in 2022 where the inexperience in certain positions cost them.

Oh I know they got a very favorable draw compared to OU’s.

The Washington guy would have ended up at Texas if Bama hired Sark imo. This is the year we really see what Sark is made of. He loses so much and plays a tougher schedule that he’s had. If he wins 10+ this year I’ll be sold on him, but I’m expecting more like 7 or 8 with the amount of production he’s lost.

I’m very thankful it wasn’t sark.

I’m not sure how I feel about Denver coming back. The position group definitely needs some help, but honestly it needs an experienced veteran that can be counted on to be a mentor to the freshman that played the bowl game.

Really think this might have been a good game if Henderson didn’t go down. Reed is just too inexperienced and too inaccurate right now to keep this close. Not a bad half from the Ags though considering the amount of players missing and the amount of walk ons playing. I’m headed to bed but hope to wake up and not see 59-12 in the morning. Would be okay with keeping this one at within 17 points considering.

Second play of the game and you’re down to your 4th string QB… only TWO defensive starters playing. This game might get very ugly.

As am I.

No I don’t think so. It would take a lot more than one kid who’s honestly slightly overrated to sway much momentum away from a playoff contender. Sark and his staff have all the momentum and will until next thanksgiving where A&M gets a chance to get some back. The only way Texas loses even a fraction of momentum is an embarrassing loss in the playoff. Outside of that A&M just needs to focus on themselves because there’s little chance to flip momentum.

It’s possible, but he’s apparently really close to a couple of the A&M signees. My personal opinion is that every day he’s still committed is another day closer to him signing. The momentum for him to leave was at its peak 4 weeks ago when Texas was clinching a playoff birth, LSU was beating up the Ags on the way to the Heisman trophy and A&M was without a HC or staff. Every passing day stabilizes the doubts as the staff was/is hired and his buddies signed with A&M. Like I said it’s still possible he does indeed flip, I just think that’s slightly more wishful thinking than fact at this moment.

Oh I know it is. Thats what I’m saying is that I think it’s a little foolish.

Yes I think any player being brought in should count towards rankings. I also think that they should almost be weighted a little differently. A very proven college player transferring to another program should carry a little more weight than a kid that’s never taken a snap at this level.

I don’t think one year can be the gauge of how “recruiting tiers.”

The hire seems like one that fits a very specific plan from Elko. He is thought of as a good recruiter but is not the big name hire people might have expected. I don’t hate the hire but it seems out of left field. I’m just glad it wasn’t Santucci. My honest opinion is that Elko has hired a staff of guys that were not the big names people expected but all fit his vision. Time will tell if this vision is going to be successful.

Not much to talk about until the fall.
