baylor will beat aggy
Since it was done in the 1st, I don't see the problem. Overall, I think it was a combo of the team playing down to the compe ion, the strength of the opponent going up against the D's weakest link and probably a little bit of the craziness of this week with the rescheduling factored in. The SMU game was close at half before they blew the Ponies out.
I just walked into my apartment after watching that game from the press box in the first quarter and a bit of the second and the rest of the game from the field.
College Station sure knows how to put on a college football game. Tough loss for the Bobcats, but I think we did a lot better than people gave us a chance for.
A lot of A&M's fans that I talked to were surprised at the level of compe ion the Bobcats put up.
Wow, must've taken a Masters degree for that one.Wasn't 'talking' to you 2centsworthie.
The Aggies had a short work week, as they just played Sat and were not prepared to play Thursday. They only found out that they were playing Thur on Wednesday. On the flip side, Texas St was off the week before so had 11 days to prepare for A&M.
This was expected from my point of view.
A&M played w/o a lot of emotion because they were supposed to win...it was a lose lose situation for them and Texas St had nothing to lose.
I am very impressed with the Ag's offense. Their game with Tech will be something like 56-52, and should be the most fun game of the year.
Exactly. That's why you don't play I-AA teams.A&M played w/o a lot of emotion because they were supposed to win...it was a lose lose situation for them and Texas St had nothing to lose.
I have the feeling that the Tech game is going to suck, once again. This is not Aggie football. The defense will have to make major strides.I am very impressed with the Ag's offense. Their game with Tech will be something like 56-52, and should be the most fun game of the year.
Sounds like excuses to me. Ags are 1A and there is really no reason this shouldn't have been a blowout. What it boils down to is that TxState came to play when nobody gave them a chance. Coming into the game, nobody was saying "well, this might be close because TxState had more time to prepare". No, it was all talk about how bad the score was going to be. Now all of the sudden after cutting it close to a 1-AA school, the excuses come in. I was damn proud of my school and I think we showed that we are ready to play 1-A ball in the next few years. Maybe not in the Big 12, but I would say that we can contend in C-USA or the WAC.
A&M played like and Southwest or whatever played great.
Is this game part of a scheduled 2 home/ 1 away series for SWT?
If they scheduled the 1 "away" game two years from now at San Marcos, that would probably go a long way in getting "TxState" the required home attendance to jump to Div IA.
Why is it so hard to call them Texas State? I was there for 2 years while it was SWT and 2 1/2 years while it was Texas State, and I'm not confused.
TSU is Tarleton State University.
And Texas Southern.
The admin made a big (albeit not big enough) push to ask the locals not to call it TSU. That failed badly.
Now, they're seeking a trademark on "State" similar to UT's "Texas" and Texas Tech's "Tech."
AFAIK, there are no future schedulings of A&M, especially @ Bobcat. This game was originally scheduled by previous coach Manny Matsakis. When he was fired for poor performance and NCAA violations, Coach Bailiff came on and tried to get out of the A&M game only to be told it would cost an extraordinary amount of money; money State doesn't have to give.
This team has a real shot at making some noise in the D-1AA playoffs and a of a shot to win the Southland.
I never called it TSU and even if I did how would that be any different than anyone calling it SWT? SWT doesn't exist anymore. Its just lack of respect not acknowledging the name of the school.
Just calm down, cowboy. Your school has a history of this.
I think the school has had like 4 name changes. Before Southwest Texas, it was Texas State Teacher's College or something like that.
But SWT was what it has been known as all my life. People don't just stop calling it that because they decided to change a few signs.
And every single person I know who graduated from there before the change are pissed off about it. One went as far to say to a fundraiser, "I graduated from SWT, not Texas State".
But, it was necessary, seeing how they want to develop the school into more of a university flagship school to compete with A&M & t.u.
As somebody who has been a student at both, I like them both.Just calm down, cowboy. Your school has a history of this.

I understand the admin's argument about the name change and the help it will have to develop the university in all aspects, but I also understand the history behind SWT.
People like that (I graduated from SWT, not Texas State) do irk me, though. LBJ didn't seem to have a problem with the school after it changed its name back in the day.
My mom gets it all the time from her co-workers who graduated from SWT and they know I go here now.
with a few more recruits it looks like they'll be able to at least compete with A&M athletically.Just calm down, cowboy. Your school has a history of this.

I'm JK. couldn't resist.
I'm not mad, just can't understand why its so hard. I always knew it as SWT too, I got accepted to SWT, and attended class for 2 years at SWT. Then it changed and I graduated from Texas State. How many people still call A&M Kingsville Texas A&I? We are trying to move to D1-A as well as recruiting students from out of state. SWT sounds like a small regional school when, in fact, it has almost 30k students now and much tougher admission standards than most other state schools in TX. I too have some stubborn friends who won't accept that the name changed 3 years ago, but that won't change the fact that it did.
When was the last time Aggy beat a top 5 team on the road??? Aggy football it's frantastic. I think this is about UT-aggy, why bring in OU on this topic.
Why not? It was relevant to the discussion.
We'll see if that was a top 5 team in another month or so.
In 1998 they beat #2 Kansas State in the Big 12 Championship game in OT in St. Louis, I believe.When was the last time Aggy beat a top 5 team on the road??? Aggy football it's frantastic. I think this is about UT-aggy, why bring in OU on this topic.

hey im sure any program with their history and tradition, who's always a darkhorse to win the big 12, would let a texas st. qb throw for 400 yds
Mookie's "chode officially exploded" when this game was played.
no, it would have emploded had texas state won, i was watching it, was a great game
reggies has been throwing the deep ball well, against smu and ts
aggies secondary does suck though
ts killed themselves with penalties
I thought it was Texas Southern Univ.
Tennessee State?
