A&M guilty of having a lousy defense

[samikeyp]

And pardon me, but I don't see any Longhorn fans being positive towards A&M.

then you have missed some of my posts.

That's even better than Tech trying to establish some sort of fierce rivalry with A&M

If UT were to lose to another team 75% of the times I would think the horns would consider that a rivalry game. BTW, it's funny how people talk down to tech when they're only a top 20 program with a fresh win in the Holiday Bowl against top 5 Cal.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Tech is legit, they've beat us more recently than the Agriculturers, right?

[Mr Dio]

I can see UTam giving the Horns problems because it is such a huge rivalry. Does UTam have a big or average chance to beat UT this yr? I think if UT has a major injury then yes..otherwise, no matter where the game is played, NO.

[Mr Dio]

I can't see Tech being a big prob in aUsTin this yr.

[mookie2001]

dam Tech got rolled last year
what a game






A&M
they have a chance with reggie and those playmaking receivers
but i doubt it would be against texas' secondary that they would put it all together
i also doubt they could keep up in every other area of the game

UT has rivalries with OU and A&M, and to a lesser extent Nebraska and Arkansas. There's no room for the Vocational School of Overhyped Offense at Lubbock in j-6's list of meaningful Longhorn rivalries. Perhaps my Aggie counterparts can make an exception, but I'm not.

Beating Tech is something the University of Texas is supposed to do, like beating Baylor. When they lose to the Red/Black Raiders (depending on which yearly uniform change cycle they're on), and I watched that loss in '02, there is no hatred. There's disappointment. Astonishment. Disbelief.

I haven't been to Lubbock in seven or eight years but I bet they have upside-down Longhorn stickers all over the place there, too.

I think it sucks when A&M loses to an other team besides UT (or t.u. if that's easier for you to comprehend). But I for one am awfully amused with the last two anic OT clashes between A&M and that colossal football factory known as Baylor. That's even better than Tech trying to establish some sort of fierce rivalry with A&M.

Us Orangebloods (or t-sips, or whatever) have taken a lot of off of you Ags after OU weekend the last few years, especially after McNeal's breakout game where A&M knocked off the Sooners. And that's cool. You've beaten the 800 lb. gorilla of the Big 12 more recently, so you deserve to mouth off.

If you're not at least a little concerned after the performances against Baylor and Texas State (and that loss to Clemson is looking worse and worse after Wake beat them today), that's your business. You can make all the excuses you want for why the look so ty, but at least they've won both games.

I'm sure everything will come together before Thanksgiving, but I was a lot more excited about the Horns playing a surging one loss Aggie team than one struggling with subpar opponents.

See, that's the thing...I'm not mouthing off. And of course I'm not blind to the subpar performances the Ags have put up as of late. I've stated several times how ugly the games have been...I haven't made excuses, but yes I'm very glad we got the W. And to be honest, I don't think that the Thanksgiving game is going to be much of a game at all. I hope it IS but as of right now, I can't say that it will be much of a compe ion.

You would've been laughed off the board had you posted how The UT was doing in the 1st half. Big secret, football has 4 quarters, not 2.

If it makes you feel better I'll post that UTam has the BEST in football team in Texas & they're undefeated & blah blah blah....

Maybe I should go have 1 more beer & say something stupid, then I'd be a male version of M.

Oh but it's okay for you to mouth off on the Ags when the game isn't even over? Talk about hypocrisy. I really don't give a what you post Dio, you embarass yourself enough as it is with how immature your posts on this rivalry are.

then you have missed some of my posts.

Mikey, I apologize.

Yeah, you do deserve the tag of femme ag cuz you're very easy to upset.
I think you do give a , you obviously aren't mature enough to ignore my posts.

I guess this is more than fun & games to some asses like you Mandy that take the internet so seriously you have to question if you have a life.
You were too easy, you're the female version of gieManFan.

[Mr Dio]

Let's see how easy it is to get you to reply..I bet you do.

[samikeyp]

Mikey, I apologize.

None needed, friend.


Dio..hey man, relax. Not exactly the proper way to speak to a lady.

[Mr Dio]

Dio..hey man, relax. Not exactly the proper way to speak to a lady.

Mikey, I say this because I like you. There are 2 sides to this, either treat both sides WITHOUT bias or F**koff.

With that said Mikey, if a female acts like a lady I'll treat & speak to her like one.

[samikeyp]

I do. I have equally propped the Ags and Longhorns all season.

My point still remains. Relax...its just smack and its all in fun.

oh and if you are going to insult me...don't be a pussy at least be a man and spell out the word .

read my respone a little closer and you'll see I was referring to Tech being A&M's Rival.

Exactly AND I can't spell it out, I don't F**Kin' cuss muthaf**ka!!!

[samikeyp]

Oh..well then, that's different.

[Mr Dio]

Well O f**kin' K then!

Back to the thread topic.

A&M is a poorly coached team, period. There are mistakes due to age, yes. But the offensive and defensive lines were expected to dominate this year and haven't done it. Special teams coaching the last few years has stunk. It's time to call a spade a spade.

Here's the problem: we are stuck with Fran for a while. The "fire RC" dumbasses are going to learn what it's like rooting for a team without defensive and special teams discipline. But hey, they got their high-powered offense. The reason we are stuck with Fran is that A&M can't fire him if they want to get anyone decent to replace him. No one in their right mind would take that job with that kind of pressure - exhibit A, Alabama. I don't think that Gary Kubiak would leave a cush job in Denver for anything, so that hope should die.

We survived year after year of loosing defensive coordinators. The only constant all those years was RC Slo 's system. Now we don't have that anymore, and the AD's hemmoraging cash like nobody's business. But don't get me started on Byrne. Funny, you can't find anyone who was a "fire RC" guy to admit to it now.

Stop blaming Fran. You forget how horrible A&M was 3 yrs ago. This team is at least exciting to watch unlike the latter RC days where, it was 3 yds and a cloud of dust snorefest.

The Ags are on the rise, they are not in the class of UT, but they can finish 2nd in the Big 12 south this year and get to a decent Bowl game.

This week will be a real test for them. Colorado is for real at home.

I'm not necessarily blaming Fran as much as I am the entire coaching staff and the general lack of basic football knowledge that is taught to the players. As I mentioned, Fran isn't going anywhere, so I wish for these things to improve. But the team is overly talented and FUNDAMENTALLY bad. That means that coaching has failed at some level, and that's not debatable.

They make such a big deal about the gains in the weight room (which are important and were a real problem with RC's squads), but if you can't transfer those improvements into results on the field you have a team of bodybuilders and not football players.

This team is at least exciting to watch unlike the latter RC days where, it was 3 yds and a cloud of dust snorefest.

Well, Auburn did pretty well last year with a conservative gameplan. I guess we will disagree with this point. A ball control offense that plays mistake-free football combined with a great defense will win more than 9 times out of 10.

This post shows how little you know about Aggie football. Three years ago, A&M beat the #1 team in the country, OU. The team we have now wouldn't be allowed on the same field with the #1 team in the country.

And RC may have been a little conservative, but he sure as didn't lose to Baylor. We may have been 6-6 in 2002, but we were compe ive in every game (all but one of those losses were by 10 points or less). Keep in mind this was one of RC's worst years. Fran is 11-13 in his first two years including eleven losses by more than 10 points, six by more than 30 points, a 77-0 spanking by OU, and a loss to Baylor. All of this in a time when the Big XII is supposed to be down. And I'm not even including the travesty this season looks like it's shaping up to be. I hope Fran proves me wrong. But I don't see it.

I don't know what it is but the Aggies suck

so then you think a&m will beat texas or wont?

[TexasAggie2005]

so then you think a&m will beat texas or wont?

If we play like we've been playing, t.u. wins by 50 easy. If we play to our potential, A&M has a decent chance. The talent's there, it's more execution than anything.
