Independence Bowl - A&M vs. Georgia

[johngateswhiteley]

should be lots of scoring...

A&M 39
UG 36

[johngateswhiteley]

(anyone who watched this game, knows what I'm talking about)

...I can't believe the turn of events in this game. A&M is so much more talented than Georgia...its disgusting to lose like that.

[mookie2001]

aggy special teams was just terrible

by the end georgia was just punishing them with that fullback up the middle play they invented

glad to see jamie mccoy, morrow and matthews the center go
von miller has no reason to return next year hes not getting 20 sacks or winning a national championship in 2010 time to cash checks, all about his cash he worked hard to get paid, stacks multiplying now its time to parlay

should be a very similar 2010 in collie station, two good backs, a good qb, a few excellent wideouts and not much else

If you don't think A&M will be better next year, I've got nothing to say to you...misguided sip.

[mookie2001]

better? Yeah

Is the goal getting out of the celler of the big 12 south, winning a bowl game?

It'll be the same ol song one year from now even if they go 7-6

[johngateswhiteley]

They won't be in celler, imo. They'll be better than tekk and baylor and possibly the okiecapncowboys. I think they'll surprise some people. They had more freshman on their 2 deep than any team in the country.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

What a disgusting disgusting display of football from a team of texas boys. I cannot see how any of those losers look at themselves in the mirror tomorrow morning. A&M had this game won after that first touchdown. Then they let up in the gas (the way they do against every team not dressed in burnt orange) and then totally totally caved in when they faced adversity.

Is there a more fucking gutless team in the entire ncaa than the aggies? Mr Dio was fucking right when he called the aggies gutless. The only thing they EVER DO IN ANY SPORT IS PLAY THE LONGHORNS WELL.

Other than that they are totally totally worthless. Not one fucking accomplishment for the aggies this season other than almost beating the longhorns. Fucking sickening. They should have won this game and instead they conclude the season with mediocrity YET AGAIN.

Disgraceful sickening performance.


Ok state fucking crushed this team with it's 2nd team offense and defense. If Jerrod leaves early I will LOL at all those fucking aggie homers who think their team has any place in modern day ncaa history other than playing the longhorns well.

that's all they do now. It's official.

[romad_20]

A&M is so much more talented than Georgia

:lol Right, that's why UGA won on special teams and depth.

UGA's offense played like garbage and still won, not to mention they had students and graduate assistants coaching the defense. I seriously thought A&M would be able to score.

Good for the Dawgs. New DC coming in and everyone coming back on offense besides the awful Joe "sucks" Cox.

I don't know how you couldn't see it...

[CubanSucks]

So much for the Texas bowl teams sweep

[Texas Chili Dog]

Only got to see a few minutes of it. :(

[romad_20]

I don't know how you couldn't see it...

Season's over, so it doesn't really matter anyway, but could you point out where A&M has more talent than UGA? At QB, heck yes. Anywhere else? Doubtful. Joe Cox was only there b/c he sat his time while Stafford was there. He couldn't hit the broad side of a barn in the first half.

Out-played UGA in the first half, yes. More talented, no.

UGA finished 8-5 and that cost 3 coaches their job. They didn't want to be in that bowl and only had about 6 or 7k people there, while A&M filled the rest. Our dog died, for god sakes. It was a horrible year. A&M finished 6-6, was excited about the bowl and it was basically a home game and yet still lost 44-20.

Richt has won 90 games in the last 9 years. That averages to 10 wins a year. A&M wishes it had the talent that UGA has.

[romad_20]

Only got to see a few minutes of it. :(


You didn't miss much. UGA looked like it did all year except special teams stepped up big time. But the defense did a good job considering.


Looking forward to see who the next D-Coor is next year. I'm still thinking it'll be Kirby Smart after the championship game.

[johngateswhiteley]

I think its pretty clear to those that watched the game...

1. A&M consistently shot themselves in the foot
2. A&M's team is incredibly young and very mistake prone (each loss beside t.u., has been total self destruction
3. CBF was right, the game was A&Ms after their first td...then we proceeded to shit ourselves and completely take us out of the game
4. Did you take a gander at the half time stats or stats for the game? ....A&M dominated Georgia
5. Georgias skill players suck...the only player worth a Damn is green...and he's not as good as either of our top 2 wrs. The backs, I think someone mentioned injuries...anyway are slow and move like molasses
6. A&M, with the mistakes they had, would have gotten murdered by lesser teams...missed fg, blocked field goal, turnovers, snap over punters head, kickoff return for td, blocked punt, etc...jesus. that lead to more than the difference of the game...not mention what A&M missed out on scoring wise

...is Georgia a better team? Would they win 6 or more out of 10 against A&M?...perhaps. theres at least and argument. But no way, does Georgia have as much talent as the Aggies. Which, makes the outcome even worse...for us

[MajorMike]

Wow.... are you for real or on some meds?

[johngateswhiteley]

Wow.... are you for real or on some meds?

Are you? What's so hard to understand about A&M being the youngest team in the FBS? Setting team records for freshman? Ever heard of players that are talented, but inexperienced? That a talented young player may make more mistakes than a more experienced player of less ability?

...pipe down.

[MajorMike]

"But no way, does Georgia have as much talent as the Aggies."

You, sir, are not living in the realm the rest of us call, 'reality'.

...shhh

[MajorMike]

You are completely not reading what you are typing. In what world does "youngest" and "more talented" equate?

I'm not even trying to be silly, anymore; you are seriously typing like you are drinking or something.

[johngateswhiteley]

In what world aren't there young and talented kids?

*newsflash*

...you don't get more talented as you get older. That is from 18/19 -21/22...you just become more experienced and possibly more skilled. How do you not see that.

...too many morons on here.

[romad_20]

You're high.

AJ Green isn't as good as your two WR's? :lol A&M's receivers are good but to dismiss Green as not as good just means you don't watch very much football.

A&M dominated the stats except the score, rushing, turnovers, time of possesion and special teams.

A&M is young? So what, so is UGA (Cox is the only one leaving on O) and they managed to beat them and win more games.


Backs moved like molasses yet still ran for 208 yards on A&M. (Freshman and a sophmore)

The game was A&M's after the first TD? Was it? That lead lasted for 8 seconds.

A&M played well in the game (at the beginning), but seriously, come on. They had everything going for them in this game and yet still got handled, quite easily after their first TD. UGA could have easily packed it in for this one. They played lights out on special teams and played good defense. If they had any kind of QB back there this would have been a 40 point game.

A&M is like Ga Tech. Their whole program is built around trying to beat Texas or Georgia every year. Both teams will always be the little brother trying to out do the older brother.

Season starts with us arguing about UGA and Ok St and now agreeing about A&M. :lol Full circle, my friend, full circle.

Good luck to the Pokes next year, we don't have to play them again. :toast

You're ignoring the turning points of the game, and the Aggie D packing it in once the game was over. What's the breakdown of those rushing yards? Lest we forget there were some huge holes to run through, late in the second half for reasons I addressed.

...peace out trout.

[johngateswhiteley]

Course, the nicest thing about this thread is capn crunch looking like an ignorant tool. Makes me feel better.

[Texas Chili Dog]

A&M better watch out. They are gonna start losing possible recruits to SMU. :)

[johngateswhiteley]

A&M better watch out. They are gonna start losing possible recruits to SMU. :)

It's possible. But more likely, imo, is smu stealing recruits from tekk, baylor, Houston and tcu. A&M gets good talent yearly, they just piss it away.

But I know you're excited...and you should be! Jones should have gotten coach of the year...his performance was nothing short of amazing. I'd be excited to see smu's next 2-3 years.

Stealing recruits from Tech would make me happy. Leach deserves it. We actually already have a wave of people on SMU's boards calling for Tech commits and recruits to choose SMU instead. haha

Plus, SMU's first game in 2010 is at Lubbock (then home vs TCU), so we have an early chance to see just how good we can be.

SMU will get some talent. They'll find kids that live in the eastern side of the Metroplex that want to stay home and not go to Lubbock or Waco, or kids that want to play WR and catch a ton of balls and not play DB for a B12 school. Even beating out nationally relevant TCU for a recruit is going to help.

They aren't going to be the SC of Dallas anytime soon, but I'd be real happy if I was a Pony fan right now. Almost every kid on campus wasn't born before they got the death penalty.

[romad_20]

Well, you certainly schooled us. I guess we'll just have to settle with our sub-A&M talent setting a school record for points against A&M, winning an average of 10 games a year while playing in the SEC, winning our 4th straight bowl and 7 of 9, 3 BCS bowls, 2 BCS wins, 2 SEC titles and 3 straight top 5 recruiting classes.

Damn, how I wish I was an Aggie:lol

A&M scored on themselves; I'm talking about one game and one season. Aside from that, there's no doubt Georgia is a great program with great tradition of winning. They've been far more successful than A&M has been for at least the last 10 years. But, I think Sherman is on the right track. As has been said a million times, A&M has too many resources and gets too much talent not to get their act together.

[MajorMike]

And Sherman has much more talent that UGA has, don't forget that.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

If A&M doesn't get careless on kickoff coverage after their first TD, then completely loaf their punting, Georgia goes scoreless into the third.

A&M put Georgia in position for two easy easy touchdowns that Georgia would have had no chance to get otherwise...A&M was winning the field position battle when it was tied for almost an entire half.

Agreed, but tied for a half doesn't equal more talent on the field. As I said multiple times, A&M outplayed UGA in the first 28 mins of the game and UGA outplayed them 27-7 in the last 30 mins. How the heck did UGA get the chance to block those kicks and punts? Could it be that their defense without coaches stopped all that talent A&M had? If A&M doesn't get careless on kickoffs they may have beat Texas too. Does that mean that they were more talented than UT?


The only issue I had was that it was stated that A&M was much more talented than UGA on the field.

How hard is that to understand? This statement


A&M is so much more talented than Georgia...its disgusting to lose like that.

is completely wrong.

[romad_20]

The more I think about this, the more delusional I think the A&M poster is. A&M led the game for 11 seconds and then tied it in the 3rd for 3 mins. A more talented team responds when the other team scores. A more talented team makes big plays when its down. A more talented team doesn't let the other team run off 30 straight points against them. A more talented team finds a way to win when they don't have defensive coaches and their passing game sucks. UGA also beat an Arkansas team that rolled A&M up and down the field. Did Arkansas have more talent than UGA, too?

I'm guessing that UGA has less talent than Kansas St and Colorado too since they put whipping on this super talented team.

All I hear from you is that despite the superior talent, the A&M coaching staff sucks so bad that graduate assistants (that's who was coaching the special teams since that coach got fired) out-coached them. A&M also managed to get beat badly, not close. I might consider shutting down the football program if that is the case.




Have fun with your moral victories and awesome talent. Until the excuse factory starts up next year.

[leemajors]

It would imply that A&M has a supremely shitty coaching staff.

[romad_20]

It would imply that A&M has a supremely shitty coaching staff.

Apparently worse than 25 year old graduate assistants.

This argument is old. UGA won, convincingly. If it makes UT fans feel better about their upcoming game against Bama to think UGA is less talented than A&M, so be it. We'll probably be hearing the same arguments after Jan 7 for them too. If it gives A&M fans hope for next year, good luck.

I was just stating what jgw is obliquely implying, even as he states Sherman is headed in the right direction. I think it's clear the better team won. A&M always gives UT their best shot, any other game they can be extremely inconsistent.

man, this is really eating you up. How does a more talented team get rolled up? Simple, they are very young and inconsistent.

[johngateswhiteley]

It would imply that A&M has a supremely shitty coaching staff.

Not necessarily. It implies they are very young and mistake prone. When they keep it together they can ride their talent past teams and keep up with good ones. When they implode, they can't beat anyone. They are the youngest team A&M has ever had...and through that very inconsistent.

[Doug Collins]

A&M made costly mistakes and UGA capitalized on them. Simple. The aggies have done this all year and it comes with having a very young team. The defense was shutting down UGA for most of the game, but clearly got demoralized with the lack of offensive production and special teams mistakes.

The better team won. Kudos to the Georgia coaching staff for keeping the team focused following the coaching changes.

[MajorMike]

He did say it: "The better team won."
