My pick em has crashed and burned, but I’m okay.

announcer actually said texas a&m has arrived because they beat the domers. ha ha ha ha ha ha

Love watching the Domers lose. But the center did hold that rusher on that 4th down pass and the zebras missed it.

 

[OconeeTide]

Clemson AND USCe lost?







This is gonna be a fun monday at work.

Looks like Mike Elko has been hitting the buffet.

Bet Elko, Josh “Bobby Hill” Heupel, and Sam Pittman do some serious damage to the local Destin dining establishments during SEC meetings.

How do you get 2 6th year seniors?

The extra COVID year.

Latham may be six year guy. He’s the only one.

Napier couldn’t organize labor in a maternity ward. Completely inept. The guy should fired this morning just for his play calling and putting DJ Lagway in terrible situations.

Napier is trying to treat DJ like he is a QB with 25 games of starting experience. DJ will get better but NOT with Napier as his play caller.

That dead cat bounce from last year just postponed the inevitable.

Vandys OL is VERY GOOD and VERY physical. They ain't no joke. We'll be in a dog fight for that game.

Our schedule is ridiculous

Every time I see Notre Dame 0-2, I laugh.

After 8&4..ND does not play another ranked team so they will remain in the Top 10...this is why scheduling is a joke

In our defense, our schedule this year is more of a product of letting those with the bovine persuasion into the conference than anything else. Will be happy when we have the 3-9 format set. It wasn't lost on me we may be benefitting from it this year. But offline Aggies would welcome better competition in a heartbeat. Why? Aggies like me, who have been watching things since the SWC days, know you simply don't build programs around playing.

Texas A&M was consistently ranked in the Top 10 in the waning days of the SWC, with legit paths to winning a National Title or two, then losing the bowl. That's directly the result of the team simply not being prepared to dial in for the stiffer competition, and it became evident the SWC was an overall weak conference. To a large extent, this was a case in the BDF ("big dumpster fire", or Big 12, for anyone that doesn't get the reference). It was the OU, tu, and early on NU show, with unequal revenue sharing, and all the other problems that have been discussed ad nauseum.

No, we don't enjoy easy schedules. But our schedule this year isn't exactly "easy". I don't think Auburn should be unranked (our next game). So Carlina got exposed this weekend, but then Vandy isn't typical Vandy, and I think it's safe to say So Car is rightly (and should be) a ranked team. But we get both at home, and of course, with the ND win, the 12th Man will be on fire at Kyle Field. We go to Missouri, they aren't looking bad and are a ranked team. We get Miss State at home, and they should be ranked, IMO. Florida is bad, we have them at home, but they did hold it to 10 pts at LSU. But we have to go to LSU and Texas. Frankly, I'm worried more about LSU than the sips.

I do think we have a "favorable" schedule this year. Our biggest hurdle is behind us now, so I get someone saying we could coast ranked high for a while. But we do have ample opportunity to lose in playing LSU and tu on the road, and So Car, Auburn or Miss State feel like potential ambushes at home.

PS - Miss playing you fine folks.

I watched some highlights of Arch in their game vs UTEP yesterday. My goodness he looks awful. His field vision is atrocious and his mechanics are absolutely horrible.

He threw one to the sideline to a wide open receiver on a curl....his front foot and shoulder flew open and he sidearmed it to him. WR tried diving for it, but the throw was so bad it had no shot.

That was just one bad play, he had lots of them. He looks rough.

I respect your point of view and well stated. Also a BIG thank you for winning that game and hopefully ( I have my doubts) eliminating ND from the playoffs..
