Aggies need to work on not being embarrassed.
It must suck being second fiddle all the time.
Texas by 21.
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 at udes.
Ahahaha.
What's the all time series record?
Still 15-14 A&M in my lifetime.

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

0-5 in his lifetime

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!
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.
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.
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.
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:
Prepare for...the Eradicatorrrr!!!
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?
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
