huh? aren't you an Ag fan?
Tha ? I left the room. Would you rather I talk to myself in a game thread in which "my team" isn't even playing?

Miz!
I am, but you're not. Thus, my easily identifiable point you missed.
Regardless, A&M looks like .
Zou!
Wow.
Well, that was grim, to say the least.
Who the put a bee in your bonnet though, symple19? rofl.
ing embarrassing. Jerrod sucks ass. Tannehill better start against KU
Sherm is too stubborn. JJ will start. Only unit on this team worth a damn is the defense, and the O keeps 'em out there FAR too long...
And to think I thought this was the year we "turned the corner"
Don't understand how the offense went from being great to terrible in 1 year. Play calling sucks, Jerrod sucks, Receivers cant catch, O line cant block. So sick of this , Sherman better do something or hes ing out also.Sherm is too stubborn. JJ will start. Only unit on this team worth a damn is the defense, and the O keeps 'em out there FAR too long...

how does aggie, year after year, have a top 25 recruiting class and sucks so bad. its like aggie only cares to play football for one game, and thats against Texas.
im ashamed for thinking aggie could pull this off...
I just need the Spurs to start already. Whole ing program is a joke. Everyone needs to go and Byrne is the first one. That ing crook destroyed our football program and is still getting 200k pay raises when our athletic department is in debt. He and Sherman need to GTFO.
That was such a bad game. Offense left the defense out way too long. The only good thing about the game was the video they played during halftime asking the players which one of them spent the most time on their appearance in the locker room. was funny
Oh and if we play like that, the only game I see us possible winning is KU
Byrne has done a great job, actually. Aside from that, the football team is a bit baffling. They are top 25 in talent year after year, but it does not translate to the field. I'm not sure how the defense can go from crap to good and the offense from pretty good to very inconsistent, in one year. JJ is struggling bad and our new D coordinator is money. Maybe its that simple
Sherm was a lame hire from day 1.
They played it way too safe.
Byrne has helped other sports at the university no doubt but at the same time i dgaf about our Equestrian team. We are a football school and get less out of our players than any other school in the nation. Byrne has destroyed our football program while taking advantage of the most loyal fans in college football by increasing ticket prices at the same time. Then we finally get rid of Fran who was BB hire to begin with and we do what? Give an unproven college coach with no other offers a guaranteed 7 year contract. In over 2 years Sherman is 13-18 (3-15 against teams with winning records) at A&M- the worst start to a coaching career we have ever had. He has also lost 12 straight games on national TV. Our football program is 45-47 under Byrne. That is simply unacceptable. I dont care how the other sports are doing when our football is this embarrassing. The greatest part is were not even half way through Sherman's contract. What if Sherman ends up winning 1 more game this season which at this point seems possible... we end up 4-8 or 5-7. Is this acceptable? Does Sherman deserve another year? Well if we decide no than it is going to cost us over 7 million to buyout his 7 year guaranteed contract that BB ponied up. I am rooting for Sherman, and am hoping he can turn it around I really am. I have been watching this for too long and its time for a change. As a current student these people need to start being held accountable. I don't expect Byrne to be here past this year (expect a retirement coming) and I hope Sherman can somehow turn it around but I don't see anything better than a 6-6 season this year giving his grand total to (4-8, 6-6, 6-6) worse than fran.
and If JJ is the 1 big problem we have (which it isn't) than move his ass to the bench. I'm done making excuses for this team until I see some ing effort and accountability taking place in house. Byrne has got to go.
Here are some notable goodies Sherman has been able to accomplish in just 2 years as our coach
- Loss to Arkansas State
-66 point loss to OU at home
-20 point loss to Baylor
-40 point loss to tu
-62-14 loss to Kansas state
-65-10 loss to OU

Money. Every ing word. I give BB props for strengthening our other sports. But at the end of the day, this is Texas and football is our marquee sport. Allowing Byrne to hide behind the strength of programs not central to the school is akin fans of KU or Duke allowing their AD's to bolster other programs while their vaunted hoops programs fall to ruin. It simply wouldn't fly there, and it shouldn't in College Station, either.
This.
Sherm needs to go.
Hey now give Missouri some credit...They are a good team. But yea Jerrod isnt very good. He can keep plays alive by scrambling and hes a physical speciman....just not much of a football player.
Oh absolutely. I don't think any of us Aggies are doing Mizzou a disservice here. They came ready to play, shut up the 12th Man right out the gate like they said they wanted to do, and generally kicked our Aggie asses up and down our own field all afternoon.
My problem comes with the way we responded. Complete lack of focus/intensity. Instead of attempting to answer, our team collectively curled up into the fetal position. That's a problem. It's one thing to get your ass beat when you're playing hard--it sucks, but I won't criticize it. On the other hand, getting blown out and the team acting like there was little amiss and they had all the time in the world to get back into the game is inexcusable. That points to piss poor coaching.
Like I said, props to Mizzou--they were clearly the better team. I just want to see some fight out of these "fightin'" Texas Aggie players.
I have enjoyed the overall success of A&M athletics, and think Byrne should be judged, mainly, on that. I will not deny the current state of the football program, but we have not been good for quite some time. When Franchione left, the program was not in the best situation...and Fran was a sought after coach. Anyone can make a mistake. I'm not happy with the football program, but I try to be patient.
As for JJ, he has been the main problem, imo. His accuracy is atrocious and appears to have worsened after the back to back 4 interception games. Mentally or physically, he is not all there. The o-line is not the best, but I'm not hanging it on them.
Just sayin'... even if we wanted to buy Sherman out right now it would be close to $8 million dollars to do so and we still owe fran about $4 million dollars. Our athletic department is already close to 20 million in debt and whoever is recklessly throwing this kind of money around and giving 7 year contracts up front should be held accountable. (byrne) So he turned some sports around... that's great and the next AD should look to keep that going and build on that but he has torn this football program apart and that is not only the most popular sport among fans but also our main source of income for our athletic department.
I was not up to date on the 7 year contract, if true, which is absurd.
