Texas and the Aggsy

[TapeFace]

I mean you're not even in third place in your own state. Baylor is going to finish ahead of you again and so will Houston. This will be the third straight October that you will be in the top ten and it will be the third straight October you will come crashing back to earth. And I'm confident, very confident we will end up with a better team than a&m when the season is over which will then drop you back to 4th place in your own state and lord knows how low you will be ranked in the SEC. And aggie=nazi is right there will be no marquee match ups in the SEC this year because everyone except Bama will lose at least two games. They are going to cakewalk into the playoffs. And everyone on here knows that you aggies do the the SEC's bidding when it comes to bowl games I mean they wouldn't even let you play TT last year in the Houston Bowl.

Is it pre-ordained that every year Texas A&M should face the Big 12 opponent in the Houston Bowl?
Because when it doesn't happen there is no much trash talk coming from big 12 fans. In the 2 years TAMU and the SEC supposedly ducked Texas and Texas Tech the big 12 teams got embarrassed. Big 12 teams should focus on winning the Houston Bowl and quit worrying about where TAMU plays. FWIW, TAMU has played 2 big 12 teams in bowl games since leaving.

I found this to be a very interesting comment, so I checked ESPN Power rankings.

SEC's average team is rated 31st in the country vs 41st for BIG12. The average team A&M plays is conference is actually ranked 26th.
SEC has 4 teams in the top 10 vs zero for BIG12.
SEC 7 top 20 vs 3 in BIG12, so 50% off the conference vs 30%.
93% of the SEC is ranked in the top half of all 128 teams vs. 80% for the BIG12.
So the SEC is considered to have way more Elite teams, way more very good teams, and far less bottom feeders.
We have 5 conference games vs. Top 15 ESPN Power ranked teams as of today. That seems pretty strong to me. That is 36% of the top teams in the country, excluding us. You guys play one such team.
The SEC is not at it's best, but it is still very good.

Pre-season hype hasn't wore off yet, UGA will fall out.

It appears to be Tennessee then everyone else in the East this year with the perennial West favorite followed up by a couple scrappy mid tier squads in Ole Miss and Aggy.

The first teams UF, UGA and Arkansas played with a solid pulse.... they lost...

Problem for Tenn is they still play Georgia, A&M and Bama. If they lose 2 of those Florida could still win the east.

"Could", they are still a bit unorganized. UGA shouldn't have been ranked as high as they were to start the season, that's why they tumbled to 25 and their first 3 games pretty much defined them.

 

[outhereincali]

One more time people. Everyone in the SEC except Bama will lose at least two games.

 

[TexExSpur]

The East is still wandering in the night while the West is still Bama and then everyone else.

 

[mm42]

Probably true, because they have to play in so many marquee games.

Totally agree. UGA and LSU have been exposed. UGA should have lost to Mizzou. But wouldn't be surprised if they upset Tennessee at home.

 

[TexExSpur]

Probably true, because they have to play in so many marquee games.

You must admit, that's pretty Aggy.

 

[jsto60]

Why?

Scoreboard. Lifetime. We own it.

We went into their house with our subpar team-- a qb with a noodle arm, and broke it off in them on the last play. They fully expected to beat us. They didn't. We ripped their hearts out and showed it to them.

THAT, my friends, is the definition of a "mic drop".

Once you drop the mic, you don't walk back over later and pick it up again.....

This is why it's called a "mic drop".

We own the ultimate middle finger. Do ya'll not get how that works?

It is inevitable that we will play them again. More than a few times. So I'd take Charlie putting Sumlin down in the gutter this bowl season.

 

[jsto60]

Right now you need to be focused on Iowa St not becoming your daddy. That is the state of your program right now.

Not really. But nice try. You Ags get all giddy when you win a few games vs some nobodies. Happens to start seasons pretty often. Then reality slaps you in the face, decommit season begins, and you'll start talking about next year.

That's right you keep telling yourself that. And back in TX right now either Baylor or Houston could beat any SEC team except Alabama.

 

[TapeFace]

I might agree on Houston.
Let's tap the brakes on Baylor. They just played their first game against on Ok St. team that is probably 7-5 or 6-6 at the end of the season.

I think the following SEC teams would be the odds on favorite to win the Big 12 this year based on what we have seen thus far: Bama, Ole Miss, TAMU, Tennessee, Florida.

 

[TexExSpur]

Non-Conference Record (vs. Power 5)
Big Ten 8-4
ACC 8-5
Pac-12 7-6
SEC 5-5
Big12 4-6

 

[TexExSpur]

Non-Conference Record (vs. non-AQ)
SEC 15-2
Big Ten 18-3
ACC 12-3
Pac-12 9-3
Big12 8-4

 

[TexExSpur]

Don't ride the SEC jock, win it!

 

[mm42]

You must admit, that's pretty Aggy.

True. A lot of those top SEC will go 8 & 4, or worse. Math won't allow them all to go 11 & 1. I just hope we aren't one of the 8 & 4 teams. Really just making fun of the no marquee games thing.

 

[LonghornSoldier]

ISU is what 1-9 or something like that? That isnt daddy... you wanna see daddy look at the aggy Texas head to head then go cry in a corner.

 

[DocAg]

If you want to talk about control then UT still has it. They can simply bail to another conference or go indy in 2025. We aren't stuck like other teat sucking schools. Texas will always be fine. And if we win the conference and have 2 or less loses we will still make the playoffs. Aggy doesnt' have the cache and never has. We are much happier without you trust us.

Sorry, 2 losses and playing a weak schedule in the Big 12 won't get you in.

 

[DocAg]

I mean you're not even in third place in your own state. Baylor is going to finish ahead of you again and so will Houston. This will be the third straight October that you will be in the top ten and it will be the third straight October you will come crashing back to earth.

And everyone on here knows that you aggies do the the SEC's bidding when it comes to bowl games I mean they wouldn't even let you play TT last year in the Houston Bowl.

Looking at Baylor and Houston's schedule I hope they do finish ahead of us. Baylor never plays anyone in non conference play, and Houston plays 7-8 games a year against the sisters of the poor. You guys should be ahead of us playing your schedule as well. Who do you play that is worth a damn this year? Notre Dame? Nope, got beat by Duke and soundly by Michigan St...who got drummed by Wisconsin at home. OU? Nope, they have been abused by the only 2 teams with a pulse.

 

[swVAHorn]

But Nazi...why do you care? And discussing things you disagree with isn't necessarily "running your mouth".

Why do you care? Asks the aggy on a Longhorn site. Can't make this stuff up.

Context is everything.

OP was preaching the worthlessness of aggy and then gets all bent out of shape about how they left the B12. If aggy was truly worthless, why would it bother any horn fans if they left, or what they said their reasoning was?

Is it a mere coincidence that orange skinned politicians and orange tshirt clad sports fans are all thin skinned?

You're crazy Rock Perry is..... Sadly he is possibly a bigger douchebag than either of our presidential hopefuls.

 

[oldhorn2]

don't know if he is a bigger douce bag but he certainly is the dumbest candidate to come along in quite a while.

 

[outhereincali]

I'm not about to let you off for saying that. I'll bet an aggie like you voted for him all 4 times.

 

[mm42]

You are incorrect, I have never voted for Perry. Of course, I haven't lived in Texas for many years. I would have voted for him at least once, probably twice as I am not very smart.

 

[MiccoMacey]

Who do you play that is worth a damn this year? Notre Dame? Nope, got beat by Duke and soundly by Michigan St...who got drummed by Wisconsin at home. OU? Nope, they have been abused by the only 2 teams with a pulse.

1) Give Texas credit (and all teams that schedule quality named opponents) for scheduling Notre Dame. They've fallen short for sure this year, but that's the luck of the draw sometimes. It's not like they scheduled Northwestern Popcorn State. Just like I give A&M credit for scheduling UCLA, who hasn't shown much yet either.

2) Don't write off OU just yet. Those two teams "with a pulse" may just end up playing in the championship playoffs. I don't think it's an embarrassment to play and lose to two of the better teams in the country. We didn't show as well as I would have liked for us to, but by far we've played the toughest OOC schedule in the country. I like our chances in the Big 12, teams we're built to compete against.

 

[MiccoMacey]

I think the following SEC teams would be the odds on favorite to win the Big 12 this year based on what we have seen thus far: Bama, Ole Miss, TAMU, Tennessee, Florida.

Tennessee or Florida do not belong on that list, IMHO. I'm not sure what about Florida's 24-7 win over UMass makes you think the Gators would be any type of odds to win any conference. Much less their complete collapse against a Tennessee team that has struggled with their competition as well (28-19 over Ohio?).

And I'm a Florida fan. Lived in Gainesville when Stoops was their DC. There is a lot of rumor and speculation that he only accepted the OU position because he learned ol' MiccoMacey was heading to Norman as well. But that's for another post.

I'm not knocking who Texas scheduled, because they typically like to have a good non-conference opponent on their schedule. As for OU, it's not that they lost to those 2 opponents, but they were physically whipped in both of those games. Yes, OU can make a run right now because there really isn't anyone left on the schedule that is very good.
