The farmers will be better this year (at least record wise because of our weak schedule), but i am gonna have to agree with Shane. t.u.'s cycle isnt up yet, but i think it is on the downswing. But who knows, anything can happen. Too bad we cant play them at Kyle again this year....

With a "new" qb, i dont think there is really anyway to tell what is gonna happen with the ags. I must agree that McGee looked very promising last november...but we will have to wait and see. As long as we beat those west texas dirt monkeys i will be happy...hahahaha

You seen UT's recruits lately?

Already got 21 for NEXT year, 9 are on the Rivals National 100. 2 Five Star QB's, one that runs a 4.3, the other is the #2 ranked pro style QB in the nation. And every first team OL on Dave Campbell's Texas Football list (#s 1, 3 and 6 in the US). I could go on.....

McGee is lucky Michael Griffin didn't break him in half. I do like the kid's moxie though!!!!

PREDICTION: Jamaal Charles will be in NY for the Heisman award ceremony. Adrian Peterson wont.

How I see it going down:
South:
OU with 1 loss to A&M
Texas with 1 loss to OU and 1 loss to Tech
Tech with 1 loss to OU and 1 to Tech
A&M with losses to OU, Texas, and Nebraska
Baylor with losses to everybody except Okie State
Okie State with losses to everybody

North
Nebraska
ISU
Colorado
Kansas
KSU

South beats up on north division again, with baylor winning a few over north division opponents. A&M defense improves from 100's to 60's.

BTW-TAMU class of 2000.

I don't think anyone else is gonna get a rest, even with VY gone.

It is wide open this year, most everyone can and will show up for every game with a chance to win.

Never talk smack before the season starts. Save that for after the season. Prevents eating high quantities of crow pie.

Never put your cards on what the recruiting stats show you.

McGee may not put up the numbers Reggie did, but he is and will be a better winner.

Truly in the hunt this year - A&M, OU, UT - out of those OU probably wins more than 10 games. I think it is going to be ugly for Nebraska.

The Ags really may be at the bottom of the Big XII this year. Any decent spread offense is going to make the A&M pass defense look like a 3A high school team. Some of these games could get nasty.

i just graduated from A&M and must say i love threads like these, but come on A&M isn't going to set the world on fire next year, we're going to be a lot better than last year, coach fran will have his job on the line for real this year.

ut will undoubtedly be good this year, but just not as good as last year

when you play a&m there is always a decent chance of losing, i don't think any ut fan thinks they stomped us last year, it was a very close game where we were playing well and they weren't...

GCBFair enough. I knew I would get some responses. I have no problem with the maroon. Lots of great history there. Just not impressed at all with anything that Francis has done since his arrival.

and yes, your schedule is weak. I predict that after the Ags win 3 of the 4 pathetic gimme games at the beginning of the year, they will only win 3 conference games. 6-6 overall and darn close to the bottom of the big 1-2

Hey tealman: in what kind of time frame are you talking about. If you are just talking about the last ten years you guys have had the advantage. If you go back 20 years then it evens out cause we owned you guys in the 80 and 90's. If you go back to the mid 60's then you guys are ahead by about 5 or 6 wins. Out of a 40 year history I would not say that is a huge advantage either way.

One thing that did humor me last year when tu won the championship was the sudden surge of t-shirt t-sips. All of the sudden I get all these looks from people who probably never followed texas sports, had a tu t-shirt or even went to the school when I wore my Aggie hat and/or shirt. That is one thing about Ags win or lose we keep our butts in the stands and support our team.

The Aggies have become irrelevant. I don't even look at the guy wearing the Aggie hat anymore. They need to get their program going again. Also, I don't care what anybody says, Kyle Field was a sea of orange at the start of the fourth quarter during the 2003 beatdown. Aggies were leaving by the thousands.

The aggies have a very favorable schedule, without a major melt down we should be 4-0 starting out(vs. Citadel, LA tech, Army, La Laf). Our away games are Okie State, Kansas and Baylor that should be another 3 wins. Then the tougher teams OU Nebraska Mizz and Tech we have at home were it is very hard to beat us. Oh yeah we play that other team in texas at there place in austin. But the aggies should win atleast 9-10 games this year, who know maybe more.

06-20-2006, 12:01 PM
B2 and tealman. The overall record is flawed. For most of that time A&M was a small, all-male military school. The modern era of college football began in 1970 with the advent of scholarship limits and admittance of black athletes. Check the record since then, must more even.

Hey B2 I was not trying to be controversial. I thought my point was pretty clear that it depended on the time frame. If you want to go back to the beginning of time that is fine. I was just trying to point out that since the days of scholarship limitations and even playing fields that neither school has a distinct advantage. I had a friend that played for texas back in the sixties and he said royal would recruit everyone he could just so they would not play against him. This obviously helped yall out amongst other things. IF yall hadn't beat us so many times back in the early days then I would have thought something was wrong. Can you imagine trying to convince a stud athlete to go to an all male military school where you could eventually end up in a war versus going to a liberal city school that had women running around. It is amazing to me that yall did not when every year yall played us with that advantage.

I definitely appreciate you being a fan of your program, but please don't let your loyalties cloud your judgement. Even if the Aggies do win their 4 freebies at the beginning of the season, they are NOT going 10-2. Please feel free to bookmark this.

All the new Texas "fans" around are really annoying...lots of Mavs fans too?!?! I like that you are confident in the Aggie squad, but if you are not realistic about your expectations, and you say things like, "But the aggies should win atleast 9-10 games this year, who know maybe more", then you just sound like...well....an Aggie.

I have been reading this and most of the people backing up the aggies have something below there name c/o _ _ . And it seems like everyone that doesnt has just jumped on the texas band wagon because they were the national champions. Aggies are there either win or lose. If you look at what these schools stands for i think 90 percent of the texas population would agree with what the aggies believe in, cant just cheer for the winning team. Do you really want to cheer for all those tree hugging liberals. "UT where girls can be girls and boys can too."

fishnlab,

How can you say the Ags are "NOT going 10-2". Do you know that? No, it is your opinion/prediction. I have no issue with you stating your opinion, but your saying it like that is a pure fact.

Please feel free to stop being critical of others predictions when that is exactly what you are doing yourself.

It always humors me to see another schools "fan" (in this case UT) know more about the Ags than the Aggies do. Just stay on your short bus and you will not be chastized for being critical of someone elses team.

Let them play and then bust out your criticism. As of now, none of us know anything factual.

I'm an Aggie, went to school and graduated from there a few years ago and I know enough to know that there is no such thing as a freebie in A&M football. God I hope A&M doesn't lose one of these games. The Citadel and Army and I think back to back. How and why someone has to know....did someone back out on A&M for this year or is this Fran just padding the schedule. Aren't the schedules made a few years in advance? So Fran padding the schedule isn't possible, I don't think he knew he was going to suck last year.

To many good teams. T.U. losing Young will drop them to No. 10 in the Nation. OU will be tuff but so will A&M, TT, Nebraka, and Colorado. With that many good teams it will be hard for a Big 12 Team to be Rank No. 1 this year. The Big 12 never gets the respect from the media. Texas could have two losses and still be the Big 12 Champion but not be rank high enough to play for a national championship.

I feel the Aggies are still one year away but who knows they came close last year in beating Texas. That game probably lost the Hesiman for Young.

I have said this before and I will say it again. IF you have to resort to making fun of another school on a public forum through jokes or otherwise then you must not be that comfortable in your own school. Crowman is not the only horn to come on this board and do this (See Bevo) also among others. Out of the 6 pages of responses here most people are speaking about their own school. I only see the horns making fun of others. It is easy to see why people look at them as being arrogant and/or condescending and that makes it hard to root for them (even if they are representing the great state of Texas). This comment does not apply to all the horn fans out there,just the ones who deserve it

"In April 1917, America was drawn into the conflict raging in Europe that came to be known as World War I. In typical Aggie fashion, Cadets answered the call to arms. The senior class of 1917 volunteered a month before the end of school.Fifty-five Aggies gave their lives in this war and many more were wounded in the service of their country. On December 7, 1941, America was plunged into World War II, and Aggies were again quick to respond to the nation's call to arms. Some 5,000 reserve officers who had been trained and commissioned at A&M, and another 7,000 who had received some military training here, were commissioned through Officers Candidate Schools answering the call to arms during World War II. Six thousand more served effectively as the direct result of A&M training, most of them noncommissioned officers. The service of these 18,000 Aggies did much to enhance the brilliant record of Texas A&M as well as to uphold the tradition of "the fightin' Texas Aggies"."



There are more aggies in the military and have died in the military than another other state school in the country.

You're right. Back to business. Aggies end the season 6-6. Frannie is given the high boot.
Who is in the Running as a Replacement...

I am a Horn's Fan.....but...It get's old watching the Aggie's struggle as they have of late...they should be a Top 10-15 Team every year...

I really hope they can get the program where it should be....it makes our Great state look so much better...

And the Rivalry is alot of fun as well...

I think they will clean house after this year, and Fran will not be alone as he exits the program. Their defense is horrendous, and the guy that they picked up as coordinator last year has bounced from school to school his whole career. Any decent spread offense if really going to embarrass their secondary. Not sure what they plan to pull out of their hat for offense, but they better plan to put a LOT of points on the board this year if they want some W's.

I agree that the program should be at least a top 25 program. Tough when you are chasing the same kids as OU and UT, and they have had a solid run.

Nothing will change until the Alumni stops saying that the Ags are great no matter what. They need to start complaining about how the program is an embarrassment and cut off donations until there is a change.

www.firemackbrown.com (http://www.firemackbrown.com) sure used to get a LOT of hits. Alumni started complaining, and closing their pocketbooks.

How I see it going down:
South:
OU with 1 loss to A&M
Texas with 1 loss to OU and 1 loss to Tech
Tech with 1 loss to OU and 1 to A&M
A&M with losses to Texas, and Nebraska
Baylor with losses to everybody except Okie State
Okie State with losses to everybody

North
Nebraska
ISU
Colorado
Kansas
KSU

South beats up on north division again, with baylor winning a few over north division opponents. A&M defense improves from 100's to 60's.

BTW-TAMU class of 2000.

UT
TT

OU

B12 South is a three team race between OU, TT and UT. OU and TT should be better, while UT is rebuilding with incredible talent. aTm passing D will make teams like Baylor look good. OSU and aTm will battle for last in B12 south....

Hey tzer: would you be interested in putting a money bet on that?? I will make it a parlay. A&M will be better than 4-4 and they won't be fighting it out for last. I will put an even $100.00 on it. If A&M doesnt cover either side of it I owe you 100.00. If they do cover it then you owe me $250.00. Simple enough

the waterman
06-20-2006, 11:08 PM
I will even go on record that if I win the bet I will donate the money to this website to help with the costs of keeping it running. Come to think of it maybe we could have all those that are with tzer and are willing to bet on that side go against any others that are willing to on my side. This way if there are enough out there that put up collectively lets say $1,000.00 then those that are for the ags (if we cover) would take our $2,500.00 winnings and donate it to the site. If we lose then yall get to donate your money to the site-if you choose.

My handle displays my allegiance, but you Ags are CRAZY with your predictions. What part of recent history makes you guys think that y'all will be any better than average?

Funny how the Horn fans on this board also buy into the same myth.

Aggie has worked hard over the past 10 years of replacing Rice as Tech's second easiest conference game. Thanks for that.

Meanwhile, the team in West Texas will let you guys continue your UT-ATM argument while continuing domination on the Aggies and hopefully ambushing the Horns.

Now go ahead and tell me how great you were back in the days of the SWC, CUSA, MWC or whatever conference you dominated back when y'all played 6 private schools and UofH every year

You display your pride with your Lone Star tattoo, "Native Texan" bumper sticker, and contempt for any state that doesn't start with "Tex" and end with "as."

That spells Texas.

Sure, there are 49 other states in the Union, but they are smaller, wussier, and the people talk funny.

Hey raidert: You have not seen me state specific games that we were going to win. I just know that A&M has been better that .500 in conference more often than not even with the poort play over the last 10 years. So to have someone say they won't be and they will be fighting for last place seemed like an easy parlay to me. By the way, one of the most important things for college teams is experience. This is the 3rd year of playing for most of the guys on the team-even the backups (which we never had the last 3-5 years). If you do not have backups to give the starters quality competion in practice the starters have to go longer in games and in the third and fourth quarters it starts to show. We also have one of the easiest non-conference schedules around this year. None of this guarantees anything but that is what the summertime is for (preseason optimism). Kinda like the Brewers, Pirates have in preseason before baseball each year.

By the way, your way of saying you have dominated us is starting to sound like b2. Every fan is going to pick an arguement to favor their team. The Horns go back to before the beginning of civilization to show their domination because that is the only way they can win that arguement. You just use the last 10 years cause it makes you win your case. That is why I said use the last 40 years or so. That takes in a long enough competitive time frame and still keeps in within the time that the NCAA implemented scholarship limitations on every team. That alone balanced the field more than anything.

Oh well, gotta get ready for work. They don't care what school any of us went to just that we do our job. Yall have a great day and best of luck to all of your respective teams season. Except on any day that yall might play us this year.

It's not the Big-12 that matters, It's the Big-12 South that dominates. I see it as Texas, Tech, OU, Baylor, A&M, and OK-State.

tzer
06-21-2006, 10:23 AM
raidert is right, Tech has dominated the aggies over the last 5 years, 10 years and was probably pretty close to even the 10 years before that (the good ole days of Jackie Sherrill and RC).

What, to me, is more interesting is the aggie fan's inability to realize it. If we look at the UT / Tech series over the last 5 years and 10 years, the records are identical in UT's favor (4-1 in last 5 and 7-3 in last 10). NOBODY from Tech would make the case that Tech has not been dominated during that period.

I think the last 10 years is pretty much relevant to fans.

Since 1970 yall are 20-16 against us. If you call that domination then I guess we will agree to disagree.

Oh and by the way, if you are going to do that then I guess it is fair to say that O.U. owns yall and treats you like the little sister. Look out guys here comes that arrogance.

I'm ready for A&M football to mean something again, 1998 was a long time ago.

BTW-I've always considered Tech to be a cockroach team. Why? Because, they never have a shot of winning anything (conference titles, etc), they only have the opportunity to spoil it for someone else, like they did for Texas in '98.

In the big 12 south the best programs have been aTm, texas, and ou. Why? They have won ncaa titles, conferance titles, etc. They are all top 15 in making money from there football teams, and all have the best facilities. All these teams have had slumps but even in our worst of years could? pull the upset on any given team, even the national championship team.

Most of y'all are right about us Aggies being overly optimistic year-in and year-out, but that's just the way we are. Realistically, Texas and OU have the best shot at Big 12 this year, but I think there are enough variables on anybody's South team this year to give any other South team fits. I wouldn't be surprised if the Ags win anything from 5 to 9 games. My take is this; We either need to really make great strides this year, or I hope we really bomb big so the mass exodus can begin and we can get the ship righted again. No matter what, though, I will be at Kyle every home game, just like usual. Win or lose, I will always root for the Aggies. My wife and I are grads, my oldest is a student there, and I have two more headed there. I'll admit to being an overly optimistic Ag. I'd never give up on the team, I wouldn't even know how.

Cru...

I apologize for quoting you...I did not mean it as calling you on it...I just asked a question...

It's hard sometimes to ask a question on this one dimensional internet...

Please accept my apology.

Paying our respects to the sooners after the game last year. And say what you will but that big ole trophy we got in Pasadena means that the recruits will just keep coming to Austin. And our big game is the second of the season against Ohio State here in Austin....in my opinion this will be the true test of our young QB(s). Sure we lost Vince but we are way deep in all positions. It is a cycle and it just happens to be our turn...it almost makes up for the years we paid for season tickets and Longhorn Foundation Dues while John Macovick and David MacWilliams had mediocre tenures at best. I grew up watching the great Earl Campbell and it makes me very happy that my 11 year old has seen the same greatness in the likes of VY and the joy of being winners.

This was heard on Jim Rome's radio show recently. For those of you who don't know who Rome is, he is a nationally syndicated sports talk show personality based in California with no other connections to Texas.

You see, ESPN is spending the season following the A & M Football team for some documentary. Well, I guess Rome has something to say about the Aggies & College Station. Here it goes:

"They won't shut up. They have to go on about spirit, and old army, and red ***, and how bonfire represents the burning sensation they have in their urine to beat UT, and blah blah blah. Shut up. You start to get the feeling the entire school was built to spite UT. Forget the fact that when the Texas Legislature back in the 1870's passed legislation to start a state university they also decided to have a subsidiary branch of the main school (University of Texas) that would teach agriculture and mechanics. Aggies love to say their school is older, from where they get that I don't know......the fact is, the State intended A&M to be a branch of UT. They are like the afterbirth from the original creation. Like Danny Devito in "Twins". So they apparently have this complex, so much so, that they must devote their entire school to trying to prove to UT that they are just as good. All the while, nobody at UT denies that A&M is a good school, yet they won't shut up. So they write a fight song......about?....Texas, and how they want to beat them. They have a Fish Camp for freshman where they tell them how bad Texas is and how good A&M and all its traditions are.

It is the world's largest known case of penis envy, and it is manifested in everything A&M does. The people at A&M. Now we all have friends who went to A&M or are at A&M. There are some nice people there. However...there is the Corp. East Texas' answer to dreams of ROTC kids everywhere. For every boy scout who never learned to stop playing with his GI Joe Toys, there is the Corp. Now, forget the fact that A&M will actually let people with sub-par grades enroll if they agree to join the Corp. Forget the fact that the Corps looked like a Gestapo hate rally while beating down students on Kyle Field in 1995. Forget the fact that along with the numerous hazing charges that have been filed against them, and swept under the rug over the years, they just this past month have had one Corps member bring charges against another Corps member who apparently had been propositioning others for a little actual sodomy. Not only could I go on with more instances of idiocracy by these Khaki-clad-shaven-headed-dorks, I am sure each of you have your own stories.

The point is: We all respect West Point, Annapolis, The Air Force Academy; however, nobody respects the Corp. I imagine they are kind of the laughing stock of the military world. Just because you dress like the Army, and try and act like the Army, does not make you the Army. People at A&M don't even respect these clowns. It is not cool to shave your head and dress up. Halloween is only supposed to be one day of the year. If you want to carry guns and beat up civilians, move to Israel. It is even less cool to slobber on somebody's daughter on national television and call it a tradition. Dry humping 18 year old girls in the stands at football games is not cool. Not only is it not cool, it should be against the law. I know that in College Station, students are just prone to mount each other on the campus lawn, or in the middle of class, or anytime anything good happens you can just grab the girl sitting next to you and start sucking on her face. But everywhere else in the world, it is looked down upon. Especially if you are doing it on my TV. That is why we have moved the game from Thanksgiving. Because people across the nation were gagging on their turkey when in the middle of watching a football game, some boy scout is tongue thrashing some overweight co-ed during somebody's Thanksgiving dinner. We do not need to see burly women engaged in a suckfest every time your woeful offense manages to put points on the board. Some of these girls are in desperate need of a trip to the Clinique counter. Screw that, forget make-up, it is too late for that, just give them a veil.

"t.u." is not funny. It is NOT insulting. It is dumb. Just imagine if folks from Texas kept talking about M&A and giggling. That would not be funny. In fact, it would be retarded. That's why UT fans don't do it. Please learn. You want to lose the image of country bumpkins, of a people fond of sheep, of people that aren't stupid? Then quit building things that fall down. Quit chasing cheerleaders around with swords on national TV. Quit whooping in church. Quit whooping period. Quit putting up scoreboards for the enjoyment of dead mammals. Quit spending your Friday nights practicing how to yell. Quit telling rape jokes to reporters when you're running for Governor. When you are filling out season ticket renewals, and the form asks for your phone #, H & W, quit putting 258-3999, Height 6'3", Weight 185. Just, collectively, stop making asses of yourselves.

Go to East Texas, tour every small town, and ask every red neck with a 5th grade education why they cheer for A&M and wear maroon. That is your fan base. This is why you are perceived by the educated masses as stupid. Nobody cares if you think your band is better. They might be louder, they might march in neat little zig zags, but they have no musical ability. The point is, nobody cares who wins halftime. Quit getting geeked up about marching bands. I find it hard to believe you stood through your high school band's entire halftime performance. And why? Cause nobody cared then and nobody cares now. Plus, you can hear them fine sitting down even if you do care. Why is it cool all of a sudden now that you're in college? Men should never let out high pitched whooping sounds. Perhaps the only justifiable situation in which this can be tolerated is perhaps during an anal probe. Oh wait...I understand now.

Dogs are not ladies. They don't look or smell like ladies. Dogs eat their own feces and should be treated accordingly.

Finally, College Station is an arm-pit of a town. Quit pretending that it is a great college town. It is a town and there is a college there. That should be the end of this comparison. If you feel that life doesn't get any better than the Dixie Chicken, and enjoy being stuck in a never ending "Dukes of Hazard" episode, then move there. More importantly, don't move to Austin.....they are trying to create an educated, technological, and open minded population base. Austin is, and will continue to be, the birthplace and final resting place of all that is cool.

As my friend Stephen Johnson once said: "If the world were ever to get an enema, College Station is where you would connect the hose." If you go to school at A&M, please don't be an Aggie.

God Bless the Great State of Texas

I'm pretty sure The Corps isn't play Army since they produced more officers for WWII than both the service academies combined. And I'm pretty sure I'm not a fake soldier seeing as how I'm going in the real Air Force. jim rome can talk all that **** from his secure studio but look what happens when he is confronted; http://www.yourdailymedia.com/media/1120518456
Seein as how he is always being boucned around from ESPN to FSN back to ESPN and has one of the S***est time slots no one obviously really gives a **** what he thinks.
:idea: This is for anyone who doesn't know what the hell they're talking about whe talking about an orginization that produces officers to protect your sorry a**es.

Wow, B2, I don't even have the words. I don't see anywhere in your posts where the rivalry is kept in fun. I'm sure there are bitter people like you from both schools, but I learned a long time ago to try to keep the rivalry civil and not attack what you don't understand. Believe me, we both could come up with reams of slam attacks on both schools' student body, traditions, and fans.

Well, OK, I guess. It's just the cut and paste from the California guy seemed to be your position statement, and it didn't have anything to do about football. I could give a flip about some Californian's opinion of anything from our state, I imagine my opinion of his state is about the same. However, that is not the Texas A&M I know and love. That guy is picking out isolated stuff and really getting nasty, couldn't any body do that to any school? The slant rubs me the wrong way. Do you actually know anybody from the Corps? I have a son that is a Corps member, and he is anything but what that fruits and nuts guy describes. He's a good kid, works hard, goes to church, studies hard, doesn't drink. Going regular Army after college. 85% of his outfit is contract; that is, they are commited to serve in the Army after college. His CO for this year is a fine kid and a future Army officer and is third generation. That hardly sounds like the Corps described by that idiot. I'll take good football BS, h**l most Aggies deserve it, but I don't really see the benefit in trashing stuff somebody hasn't really studied. It's apparent this Rome guy has not.

I'm not running or hiding from anything. I was wrong. The Aggies did much better this year than I thought they would. I've accepted that and given due credit. There are a couple folks on this board that can vouch for that.
