2019 targets not listing us as finalists

Ag schedule not much different than Texas. Stop whining. Now that I think about I can make an argument Texas’ schedule is still tougher once again.
Would love to hear that argument. I listed both below, with quick estimate on best to worst opponents. Texas is better at the very bottom, but no decent team would lose to any of the bottom 3 teams for either team.

Opponent
Oklahoma - Alabama
USC - Clemson
West Virginia - Auburn
Oklahoma State - LSU
TCU - South Carolina
Kansas State - Mississippi State
Iowa State - Arkansas
Maryland - Ole Miss
Texas Tech - Kentucky
Baylor - ULM
Tulsa - UAB
Kansas - Northwestern State

So in your estimation, the Big XII schedule is "brutal" since it's similar to yours? Thought it was the big dumpster fire according to aggys everywhere.

No, I do not consider the BIG12 brutal. Well, brutal in a way.
I wanted to hear how you guys schedule was harder. I don't think it is near as tough, even with our cream puffs at the end.
 
Opponent
Oklahoma - Alabama -Alabama is tougher
USC - Clemson -Clemson is tougher
West Virginia - Auburn - Auburn is tougher
Oklahoma State - LSU is tougher
TCU - South Carolina - TCU
Kansas State - Mississippi State KSU
Iowa State - Arkansas - Iowa State
Maryland - Ole Miss - ?????
Texas Tech - Kentucky - Toss up
Baylor - ULM - Baylor
Tulsa - UAB - Tulsa
Kansas - Northwestern State - Kansas

Really don’t know much about either Maryland or Ole Miss, but Ole Miss cheats to win so you’d have to assume some of their revenue is still around.

Still, my guess is the top half of the order is mostly in the Aggies column as far as a tougher opponent, mainly due to most of the Big XII will be in a down year.
 
You couldn't take the physical pounding of our schedule. Our league doesn't throw the ball 75 times a game. Please don't show your ignorance and compare our physical gauntlet to yours.
 
Bwahahahahahahaha!! Projection. It's your D that's soft as melted butter every year. LSU runs your asses over with ease (even without Fournette). God I hope we play you soft wusses again soon. That's the real reason you left our conference, so you could talk trash without getting beat. Go ahead, thump your sizzle chest, Joe. You girls won't ever win jack. Talking trash is all you'll ever be able to do. You're like a yapping dog behind a closed door.

I think I agree with your guesstimates, other than Kansas State vs. Mississippi St.
 
Yeah, you may be right. It’s kind of a toss-up there, depending on which K-State team shows up.

Nothing scientific. Just my gut feeling.
 
It doesnt matter aggyjoe.....BIGXII or SEC aggy would be average in whichever conference they were in. In case you need proof.......look up aggy wins losses in the BIGXII.......and compare to aggy in SEC. You cant change the stripes on an aggy and try to call it something totally different. Let me guess.......nothing counts before the move to the SEC

That is such a misnomer. Oklahoma still scored 40 something points on that Alabama defense this past year and Bama had a few weeks to prepare for it. Granted Oklahoma also gave up over 40 points. But these comparisons are stupid. Is Alabama or LSU or Auburn had to play the Big 12 schedule they wouldn't score 40 points every game and they would get beat at least once. They would have to modify the way they play in order to be successful in this conference. And besides when Texas A&M was in the Big 12 outside of a few years the Aggies didn't exactly dominate and you aren't dominating in the SEC either so if I'm comparing the two conferences as a relates to Texas A&M you guys haven't done much either way.

...when Texas A&M was in the Big 12 outside of a few years the Aggies didn't exactly dominate.
aggy won the Big XII exactly once in 16 seasons ('96-'11) yet they talk about it like it's subpar. Just like a yapping dog behind a locked door that doesn't have to lose to its teams anymore. It's pitiful and dishonest but par for the course for them.

...you aren't dominating in the SEC either so if I'm comparing the two conferences as a relates to Texas A&M you guys haven't done much either way.
aggy has historically played .500 ball in all of the conferences: SWC, Big XII and SEC. Doesn't matter where they are, they're a middle of the road JAG.

Now, now, now gentlemen...... the very least we can do for our aggy friends who choose to peruse this board is at least assist them in the indulgence of their fantasy about the "future of aggy football under jimbo".

Jimbo's a big name. Heck, he's arguably the biggest name they've had in college station since Bear Bryant. At some point we have to allow our friends to let their dreams and fantasies run wild. Humor them. This, in their minds, is----- their big moment. Allow them their spring training of hope--- don't dash it like a lit cigarette butt.

Year one in the jimbo tenure will be a throw away. Aggy knows this. Look at their schedule.... it won't be a fun season for them. Auburn, lsu, bama and Clemson are for sure losses. Uab ulm and northwestern st are for sure wins. So let's begin there.

3-4

Kentucky is a probable win.
Ole miss? Depends on who shows up that day.
South Carolina is a probable loss, but they can win that game.
Miss st....... toss up.
Arkysaw has always come down to the end. Aggy has ended up pulling those games out, but usually by the skin of their teeth.

I predict the Arky game on Sept 29 will end up being the determining factor as to whether or not aggy goes bowling next year. Win that game, welcome to the (random bottom tier
bowl game). Lose that game and aggy will say "eh, it's year one of the jimbo project".
 
Why is TCU below West Virginia and Oklahoma State though...???
No real reason. I threw it together quickly. I like that WV has a quality returning QB. TCU and Okie St both lost their QB, and I think Okie St is more consistent. But really just a shot in the dark.

Any serious A&M fan who knows football doesn't expect much in year 1. I don't expect much in year 2 either. Replacing Kentucky with Georgia and all else constant, gonna be rough. Year 3, who knows?

Actually, there are more plays in a passing duel than a run fest. Pass plays take more time and with more time, there is more contact. There is more damage done in Big 12 games than $EC.

Jimbo runs a slow paced, old school pro style offense that is extremely predictable and requires perfection from every player on the field. His receivers never see the field as freshman.

I'll take Shawn Robinson over the WVU kid at this point. He may suck, but I'm thinking he will be an upgrade over Hill.

TCU isn't going away anytime soon. They have a tremendous staff over there and will be competitive for the foreseeable future.

More Damage? You are crazy. I am not propping us up, just observing the physical nature of this league vs the finesse of yours week in and week out. We obviously haven't handled it either. This plus the number of NFL athletes playing this physical style takes a toll. That's all I was saying.

Of course not. How could you?

...just observing the physical nature of this league vs the finesse of yours week in and week out.
"...just furthering the propaganda company line" fixed.

Again, your conference is 3 really good teams, a couple of good ones and a bunch of regular ones you'd find in any other P5.

Statistics aren't your friend. More plays = harder league, physically. Ask any lineman what 10% more plays per game feels like. This, "we line up and run sloberknocker football by running the ball 75% of the time" is just pap. You have 3-4 teams that represent 80% of the players drafted out of the $EC.

I seem to remember November in the Big 12 being a gauntlet for aggy that you could never overcome. This is the real reason for leaving.

It's a stupid argument regardless. Both programs are getting their asses kicked in their respective conferences. Which one receives the "tougher" beat down isn't adding inches to anyone's $%&@

I'm not sure why we're arguing with a "rival" that was never a rival in the first place. ;)

Ya, pretty much. Hopefully we are completing what one could call a "blue blood" cycle. Meaning we are coming out of replacing a legendary coach and soon to be on the winning side of things soon. Aggy hasn't had a legend since Bear.
