Game Thread: Orange Bowl: Texas A&M vs North Carolina (7pm ESPN)

[uafan4life]

A&M was beginning to wear them down running between the tackles at the end of the first half.

Jimbo: Ooh, let's not call any plays in the second half that worked in the first, since they'll probably be ready for that...

Mac Brown > Mullen...same circumstances with opt outs yet one team came to play and the other played possum.

Let’s not get hasty. This is Mac “But Colt” Brown we are talking about here. Who let that one game sideline his career for a decade.

Did A&M or UNC have any players quit for this game?

UNCs star offensive players (except the QB) all opted out. I don’t know which aggy players are out but frankly their offensive performance seems about on par with the other aggy game I saw earlier this season (aggy v LSU).

A playoff team huh

Got to expand the playoff, clearly.

I think A&M is pretty much full speed. I also think this totally looks like an A&M/Jimbo game, full strength roster or not.

I can’t believe I’m saying this... Gary would totally be great for this game

The quarterback gets the ball. He gives it to the receiver-No! He doesn’t give it to the receiver...he fakes to the right-No! He fakes to the left...no, he thinks about faking. He fakes the fake! I don’t know where I am...

A&M looks like a No. 5 team...No. 45

 

[RammerJammer14]

Damn, tackled him by the neck...

 

[uafan4life]

+15

Orvlosky “ if he is offsides as a defender then it becomes offsides as a penalty”

Kind of like saying “she’s kind of cute....in an ugly sort of way”

I think I'm going to start calling him Pepper Orlovsky...

Throw. It. to. the. TE.

 

[bamaga]

Late to this thread, but I’m pulling for Aggie as well. We had that little dust up with Texags over Fran, but in the end , they did us a favor . Also they weren’t involved when The conference tried to kill us in the nineties.
This is a pretty good game, one of the best of the bowl season, too bad no one is watching! This is the best bowl day for competitive games this season!

 

[uafan4life]

Was Wydermeyer being held?

 

[TideEngineer08]

Regarding offsides and false starts, it sure seems like OL get away with a lot of presnap movement these days.

 

[denver]

hate the wagging finger from DB's....you did nothing to affect that poor throw
