Thanks, Kori.

[Brutalis]

Aggies need to work on not being embarrassed.

It must suck being second fiddle all the time.

Texas by 21.

[Marcus Bryant]

Yeah, it's almost like 1985-1995.

[hussker]

Local Sports radio here in CS was SLAMMING the Ags and staff for their media day luncheon demeanor. The sports guy on radio here said it was literally a funeral in the event. I heard Jaxson Appel, the Ags DB talking and I think he missed a few days of his SSRI...McNeal was being slammed as well and his Legacy was, according to the local boys, started and finished with the OU game when The Ags beat them when the Sooners were #1. Sad atmosphere here in CS. My first week living here for this game and I am surprised at the attitudes.

[Brutalis]

Ahahaha.

What's the all time series record?

[Marcus Bryant]

Who cares about the 19th century?

[SWC Bonfire]

Ahahaha.

What's the all time series record?

Still 15-14 A&M in my lifetime. :tu

[SWC Bonfire]

Did you know that from 1899 to 1902, at least one game was played in San Antonio? They played each other two times a year several times in the early 1900's.

[samikeyp]

I knew that. You talk about a game that would sell out in a heartbeat nowadays.

[NoMoneyDown]

Wow. I can't believe people still want to bet against Texas. They're 9-1 ATS!

UT was a 34.5pt fav at Baylor, and people were saying it was too much. Texas was up by 27 at the half, and 48 by the end of the 3rd.

TAMU beat Baylor by 3 at HOME.

Texas has the best margin of victory in Div I-A (35?).

28 is candy!

[IcemanCometh]

A&M is 3-6 against the spread so far this year, and that's not including the shameful game against Texas State because the books don't put out lines between 1A vs 1AA teams. I think you can safely consider that a loss ATS.

Last year aggy was 7-5 ATS .They didn't cover the 10.5 points against us.

In 2003, aggy was 1-11 ATS. They didn't cover the 22 points against us that year either.

Should be interesting...Rivalries are unpredictable (although College Station seems like a Morgue this week)

The slamming of McNeal is predictable. Of course nobody points out that A&M has had one of the worst defenses in the country two out of his four years, and the other two they merely were mediocre. Nobody points out that the A&M program has decayed into such dire straits that McNeal has to beat teams like Baylor by himself.

He's black and it's College Station. So it's his fault. It's the same reason they lionize Bucky Richardson but forget Kevin Murray.

Take McNeal off that team, and their only wins would be over SMU and Okla. St. This will all become clear next year when I-AA teams come into Kyle Field and win, and when Baylor wins by two touchdowns in Waco, and meanwhile some NFL team is giddy with delight over the steal they got at QB.

[NoMoneyDown]

Yeah, TAMU is DEAD LAST in defensive passing yards per game, and 10th from last in total defensive yards-per-game. Their rushing defense is about average, but I have a feeling VY will have another field day. It wouldn't surprise me if Texas covers midway through the 2nd Q.

I really feel sorry for McNeal, though. Crappy defense, crappy coaching. Had he been at UT and Vince been somewhere else, he'd bee breaking records here like Young is doing. Hopefully, he'll get just compensation in the NFL ranks as you said.

Most Aggies I know feel sorry/sick that McNeal hasn't had much to work with during his tenure. Then again, I haven't been in touch with um, 'Old Army'. Perhaps among the older crowd there is a greater willingness to resort to knee-jerk QB bashing for the team's struggles when all else fails.

"Old Army" misses the good ol' days in East Texas. There was nothing quite like a good lynching. So, they take advantage when they can.

[Marcus Bryant]

As for his NFL prospects, I definitely hope he ends up with the Jets or Cowboys. He's got a cannon for an arm and great speed. Good reactions, smart and confident.

I don't know if it's that way anymore. Perhaps 20 years ago. The elder statesmen among the alumni are now out of the classes of the '60s and '70s. That means ages 50 and up.

[j-6]

McNeal is the most underrated college QB in the country, moreso than Brett Basanez, DJ Shockley, and Kellen Clemens. He's VY with a little more smarts and a little less speed. I feel bad for the guy...the peak of his Aggieland career was beating OU as a frosh, and it's all been downhill from there. And yes, I know the Ags went to the Cotton Bowl last season. Was Reggie around when they played TCU in the Houston Bowl in 01 or 02?

I don't see him lasting past the third round of the draft.

As Bruce McCollough would say:

[Cant_Be_Faded]

So will Huff put someone on lock or not put someone on lock

I can't decide..cuz its not like Huff is THAT good

I mean, TLong doesn't think he's good, Marcus Bryant probably thinks Huff sucks....

Will a&M try to make vince run or throw?

[mookie2001]

I think being the mastermind college football genius that he is, Franchione will design an original gameplan to make Vince Young beat them with his...ARM

[mookie2001]

27 gs to 364 gs
as of 12:07 pm

[hussker]

reggie mcneal's bad news

his receivers like to drop the ball though

Schroeder is Mister Hands..out with a lower leg fx. I believe it is now 13 of the starting 22 for aTm out this yr...A huge nightmare season.

YELL PRACTICE, 12:00!!!

WHOOP AGS!

[mookie2001]

3.4 mill

[hussker]

Who and WHERE will you be tomorrow at the game? WANNA PARTY AFERWARD AT HUSSKER'S PLACE IN CS?

[hussker]

uh oh i wouldn't tell mookie that hussker, he's going to be Drunk, Liberal, and quite possibly Belligerent in college station on sat.

NO SWEAT! Let's push it up!!!

[Mr Dio]

This game was starting well for the ags BUT, if UT goes up by 2 TDs anytime in the 1st half & ags don't answer with a score it could start getting ugly.

[Mr Dio]

Rain in the 2nd half could keep the score well under 70 pts overall.
Hold off rain, hold off!

[cecil collins]

Interference on David Thomas, leads to trick play, leads to stolen TD for Ags. 14-10.

[cecil collins]

Now a fumble, I think I might vomit.

[Mr Dio]

Damn this game.....I need some Immodium!

[Mr Dio]

Looking at the crowd shots I see more Burnt Orange in the crowd than I can remember seeing in recent history. Never saw this much in the 80's or before.

[Ginofan]

Dio, the entire 3rd deck is almost all ugly ass burnt orange. No Ag wanted to see a beatdown. But surprisingly, it's turned into quite a game...and without Reggie and Courtney Lewis!!!

Is Vince losing the Heisman with this game?

[samikeyp]

McGee is the second coming of Bucky Richardson. Damn that kid is good.

[samikeyp]

Vince's heisman is shot. This game may be too.

[Trainwreck2100]

That's one way to keep the offense on the field

[2pac]

Don't know if VY ever had the H. Bush & Leinart were always up there too.

ag QB reminds me of Matt Jones but he needs to be a better passer.

[Ginofan]

McGee is tough no doubt. Did you see that sack he took in the beginning of the third, he got pancaked, then the kid gets up adjusts his chinstrap and gives the "is that all you've got" motion...:lol

[remingtonbo2001]

The kid can pass, everyone knew that. This kid has heart. It's more than talent. It's what A&M needs. Someone who will do anything and everything to win. The future is bright once again.

[leemajors]

ut playing easily their worst game of the year, hand the heisman to bush.

[Ginofan]

How the hell could that be longhorn ball?? Get some more tu coaches out on the field why don't you.

[2pac]

The head referee, Randy Crystal, is a graduate of Texas and also the ref responsible for the Tech/OU debacle.

Big suprise that penalty spread is 85-10 for Texas, the ball that should have been spotted at the 3in spot was spotted at the 18in (after replay) and that fumble was given to Texas.

[Mr Dio]

It took all freakin' game long but it looks like the Horns D FINALLY broke the ag QB's body on that last play. His heart took him a long way but the body couldn't keep up. Great game McGee.

[2pac]

ut playing easily their worst game of the year, hand the heisman to bush.

After the Fresno State game, the Heisman was Bush's to lose. I dont think VY had much of a chance at it.

[Mr Dio]

Bush does win it now.

BCS game still the same though.

[Ginofan]

Oh well, I'm just glad the Ags made it a game. McGee looks like he has great potential...looking foward to the future of Texas Aggie Football.

[Marcus Bryant]

Oh well, I guess Texas' players thought this game would be as easy as their bandwagoning fans thought it would be.

Hopefully some of you were stupid enough to take Texas with a 28 point spread.

[Marcus Bryant]

Absolutely. Here's to a healthy next season.

Looks like you should stick to plasma and sperm donation.

[samikeyp]

While I don't subscribe to the conspiracy theories.....the Ags played a hell of a game. If McGee takes a little off of three passes...this could have been a very different outcome. I was impressed by the way they played. IMO, Texas took this game too lightly and it just about cost them. A&M played it exactly the way they should have. Loose and having fun. As a sign of respect, :tu

[Mr Dio]

No shit. Guess someone can have 25 degrees, a supermodel & make $45 million a yr but is it true? Hmmmmm, why so bitter. Why? :lol :lol :lol

Agree.
VY et al took this game lightly because they saw no real threat. Oh well, UT isn't the only team that will play in the BCS championship game that won a close one. :lol

[samikeyp]

I think its very possible. I thought they would be better this year....I had them 8-0 going into the Tech game.

[Brutalis]

$$$ thanks!

[leemajors]

Agree.

ut turned the ball over too many times and kept their d on the field way too long. ut should have won this game handily against a very mediocre a&m team. they should really look at getting a new coach. vy got his goof game out of the way hopefully, should be a much better performance next week.

[cecil collins]

Looks like you should stick to plasma and sperm donation.
You should be criticizing bets with your $325.

[j-6]

For starters, I love seeing close, hard-hitting UT-A&M games. I didn't think that was going to happen today, but I was mistaken and was rewarded with a helluva treat. I wish UT and A&M would dominate the South every fucking year and this game was worth more than bragging rights in 2005, but that's a discussion for another day.

That McGee kid is going to be something special in Aggieland if he can perform at a comparable level next season as he did today. He's a tough, gritty SOB with some serious wheels. Don't get me wrong, I didn't exactly appreciate the scare, but how cool was seeing that shotgun spread option from the Ags? It was like Greg Davis found out Les Koennig was a UT alum and decided he needed a Longhorn playbook.

A&M played their hearts out despite being seriously outgunned. I hope both the guys who gave their all on the field and the fans who backed them up are proud of the job they did at Kyle Field on Friday. They deserve to be.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

mcgee was very impressive

texas was not at all

they're going to BEAT THE SHIT out of usc though

Yeah, because "Romance" > Bush. :lol
