Chances in the SEC

Yes, but also to fair LSU was a hell of a lot better. Yep they wiped us clean but they started finding a groove and started thumping everyone. They were unstoppable late. Both boards can’t wait to watch the other fail. Similar conversations happen on both boards. There aren’t a ton of sensible people on boards and maybe…just maybe..fans on message boards might be a little more passionate about their sport.
So they got better and your team didn't?
 
Texas is going to be the Stanford of the SEC. Suck at football and decent at Olympic sports.
 
There weren't many other options at QB. He has his guys now that he recruited. The QB room looks a LOT better. They are solid in the trenches and have a monster running game. Jimbo believes in controlling the clock and playing great defense. He is finally reaching that point. I'm not saying OU or Texas will bad in the SEC. What I'm saying is that winning the recruiting battle in the Big 12 and being the big fish there doesn't translate to winning the recruiting battle in the SEC. Again, you weren't higher than 5th in the SEC and 8th a couple of years ago. What gets you first or second in the Big 12 ALWAYS, gets you middle of the road in the SEC. The talent can catch up with you. You will do fine, but it might look like 3-4 losses instead of 1-2 like you are used to right now. I do feel like you will adjust and recruit much better, but I do not think you guys are going to come in and do what you think you are going to do. There are more teams that can beat you and are more talented than you.
One or two losses? We talking about the Horns now? Since 2009 when have the Horns done so well? Sorry to talk with an Aggie on the Horn board. OU can't wait to kick their ass again. 77-0. Ring a bell?
 
K-State was for OU...Georgia again was missing several players as they opted out of the bowl game. When players do that it most certainly flattens a team out. Texas wanted to be there because they haven't played in a bowl like that in a while. It was a mini super bowl to them. Georgia just missed out on an SEC title and playoff spot, so they were a little disappointed. They shouldn't have been, that was on them, but they didn't come out and play like they gave a damn. That was covered by media before the game was ever played. They had a crap attitude and that was on Smart.
Stop with the Georgia excuses. They had ONE key player opt out, another injured. We also shut them down without our best DB.
If you can’t get excited about the Sugar Bowl, or playing the biggest brand in college football, then there’s no excuse for you, period. Not to mention, they should’ve been super amped up to prove the committee wrong. All they did was prove them right. They just got their asses whipped. Plain and simple.

blah blah blah how you do carry on. GA was cocky and made little effort to prepare for the game. I can't remember his name but Sam Ehlinger was a lot better than the GA qb. And when Bevo tried to trample uga before the game it set the tone. What happened to GA is what you get when you get to cocky.

If the stories are true what difference does it make where they come from and in case you haven’t noticed(which I know you have) the dailymail doesn’t coddle crooked joe

I try to stay limited to the following...

The Guardian
The Hill
WSJ
Rueters
National Review

Daily Mail is a slightly skewed conservative viewpoint, but it does sometimes present an unfair biased POV.

I'm assuming then that you think your bowl win over UNC was fools gold too? Since UNC had WAY more players out than Georgia did.
 
Sorry...faux top 4 finish for the aggies. UNC didn't care, so game doesn't count. ha
Biggest difference is that Georgia is always around top 4 and playing for championships. When they don’t get that, it’s different than North Carolina excited to be in an Orange Bowl because they don’t make it there often. Texas hadn’t been to that good of a game in a long time and Georgia missed out on the playoffs. Florida had 3 first round picks not playing and correct me if I’m wrong but Georgia had 11 players out of that game. Not 3rd and 4th round picks…All Americans that were out for several of those. Again, before the game the coaches were struggling to get players to want to play. That was documented well with Georgia. Texas was excited not to be playing in the Alamo Bowl.

Why honk the sec honk? The bigger question obviously, is what has aggy done lately besides middle of the road sec after serving middle of the road B12? Your skies ain't no bluer now than when you were in the B12. Sooners are comin. Aggy just fell even further in the pecking order. 😁

This is what I have been missing. The ludicrous rationalizations of aggy.

Like the annual, we're going undefeated this season and here is the delusional breakdown of every victory.

Sad as it may sound they are the best conference in the country we can't deny that. Right now TX could not beat their big 4 AL, LSU, GA, and FL. And we're even with Auburn and the cow college. I hope I'm wrong about Sarkisian none of us have said he's going to be the man. Right now I see TX as somebody wealthy enough to be invited to the richest country club. But if we haven't gotten any better 10 years from now..... well I don't want to think about that.

A&M has beat LSU 2 of the last 3 and A&M is currently better than Texas as well. I would say you are behind 6 and on par with Ole Miss. Oke Miss is a tough out right now. I’m going off of what A&M is doing currently with all of Jimbos players now and the team they have built. I will say that Texas is up in the air with Sark and we don’t know what he will do with them.
 
Articles written today that had Bama and A&Ms rosters going into the year. Talent level had closed tremendously. Not saying A&M is there because they aren’t until they win, but the number of 5 stars and highly rated 4 stars are not as wide as they were.

Define always and define championships because I don't think either one of those mean what you think they mean.. Florida's defense wasn't missing anybody and were soft as hell. Dude, give credit where credit is due and stop with the "so and so team didn't want to be there", so I guess they wanted to take a loss instead? Total bs. If I'm Aggie I pray I win a Conference Championship this year because once OU and Texas get there those chances decrease exponentially.

As in winning the East and playing for conference championships and in the SEC if you win that you are usually ranked #1. You win the Big 12 and you need help to get in many times. Georgia has hovered around the top 4 for a while. Alabama has just been too much for anyone. If OU was in the SEC they would understand that Bama rules the roost. Georgia has been the next big dog.

If I had to make an assessment right now, this would be closest to where I stand. The main thing now is that Texas needs to focus on winning each game in the Big 12 this season and not look ahead to the SEC. Every team has the ability to beat Texas, except KU. Based on how they do this season, will either give them a little momentum in assessing where we honestly stand and also with recruiting as we head into the SEC. Or, do we go hobbling in with yet another "rebuild"(which last forever at Texas). Too many uncertainties with a new QB, new coaches, and questionable OL/DL. Hopefully, fellow Texas fans aren't expecting an Urban Meyer style one year turn around. Unreasonable short term exceptions can cause things to get ugly fast.

Unfortunately, ou would move into the 2nd spot easily. They are probably only a couple of players away from unseating Alabama.

Typical aggie logic always putting the cart in front of the horse.
 
Bullshit!....what the daily mail publishes must be made up crap because you never hear a word about those negative Biden stories on the Rachel Madows show.......Fake news I say!

Here's what I think about winning each game this season. We aren't just going to have a bullseye on our back this year it's going to be a giant bullseye. It's going to be different this year.

I'm very concerned about TCU and ISU. Look Del Conte was at TCU before he came her. You think.they feel betrayed? Now combine that with beating us 7 out of the last 9 years. And when I mean bullseye I'm thinking they might try to body slam us things like that. Baylor has always been good for at least 1 thug on their defense every year sorry Diadevic.

do you ever look at what you type?...you go to great lengths to explain why Georgia losing doesnt mean anything because they were shot players and did not want to be there. Then you explain that UNC missing players against you didnt matter because they were so excited to be playing you....THEN....you brag about beating LSU last year??? Did LSU even have a full team to suit out against you?

I agree that Texas has sucked and will be second class until we are not. We will see how aggy stacks up against Texas when they start playing. May the best team win.
 
We crushed Georgia when we played them. They were missing a corner.

Oklahoma crushed Florida. It wasn't even competitive. If you don't want to be there, don't sign up.

Lsu's best team beat an average team of ours by 7. We would've beaten them this past year-- they were bad.

So we're actually just behind, in a considerable way, Alabama. The rest fall under "any given Saturday" as it relates to us.

And being behind Alabama means we're in the same boat as everybody except Clemson and Ohio State.

North Carolina was so excited they had 6/7 starters opt out. Terrific point BBA, I think you may be on to something, lol.

Georgia did NOT have 11 players out. What the actual shit? LOL.

All I see is an excuse for a soft ass team getting their dick run in the dirt. They're either overrated or weak minded...maybe both.

The only guy I remember that opted out was their hot shot cornerback. I made the argument that he didn't want to affect his draft stock by being lit up by Collin Johnson. But that was it, there could have been another "no name", but nothing significant.

I was embarrassed for Trask. His self serving sell out teammates bailed on him. Left him hung to dry. A truly embarrassing state of affairs for todays game. Bad karma isn't something to fool around with.

I felt bad for Mack in the Orange Bowl. We all know that Mack Brown is a great recruiter so he's obviously a persuasive guy. This was the first time North Carolina was in a P6 bowl. But his 3 best players quit on him. Maybe the biggest game in school history but if they ignore a guy like Mack Brown shame on them.
