CFB - Week 3

[Maroon Blade]

Kyle is ranked I'm the top 10 all time toughest stadiums to win at. Google it.

Death Valley, the swamp, and Kyle are easily the toughest crowds to play on the road in the SEC.

The only others I can think of are the big house and Ohio states fields. Maybe throw in USC or Boise (most underrated field, IMO).

Oregon is pretty salty.. Kyle is a great venue but its not as loud compared to others.. Our fans are for the most part too nice.. For the way it's set up Kyle is very loud... All the Ags swaying and shaking the stadium during the War Hymn can be pretty intimidating though..

However, once the new stadium is completed in 2015 and its fully enclosed its gonna be one of if not the toughest place to play...

[Maroon Blade]

Fify... Y'all keep saying this? It's the biggest game this week!

Who's y'all? Aggies, the majority of CFB fans in general, or every single taking head on virtually every college sports related TV or radio broadcast?? I'm confused..

It's been hyped or over-hyped that's for sure..

I agree with you 100% in regards to this week though.

If A&M pulls off the upset for the second year in a row each week becomes the most important game in recent history for A&M. They will be in driver's seat and have a legitimate shot at a Natty.. But a win this week is almost worthless if the Ags lose at Ol' Miss or LSU....

[Cajun Blake]

Serious question, has Texas A&M become the second most hated team in the country?

(Behind Alabama of course)

IMO , not even close brother ..... it has nothing to do with your CFB Team, great University, 12th Man tradition, marching band, or mascot

it has everything to do with your polarizing signal caller and his selfish "I'm bigger than the team" attitude which he portrays


people hate Johnny , not A&M .... they want to see him fail

he's a baller, fiery , and electric on the gridiron yet needs to tone it down when provoked or heckled by the opposition. Teams now know how to push his buttons. He's already been stereotyped by the media as the zebras are watching his retaliatory antics.

If he doesn't learn from his RICE mistake (personal foul - unsportsmanlike conduct) , I could see #2 costing his team a crucial penalty during a key game that has NCG implications.

Which means if the Ags win this week, then their game with LSU will be the biggest game of the year...., and if they win that then....

[systemnt]

You seem to bring this up quite a bit...the Aggies aren't the only team in FCS Football that recognizes championships before the transition into modern football.....Bama did the same thing, along with some others.

Put it to bed.

Huh? I think it was stupid... When the school does stupid things, I will mock, condescend, and point them out whenever, however I choose.
You don't wanna be a superbowl champeen.. ? Quit tryin to wreck it for the rest of us

[CoolHandLuke]

I don't hate Johnny! Most everyone I talk to doesn't hate Johnny! Who are these people you speak of????

[systemnt]

Aggie fans are so geographically concentrated in Texas, that I doubt the rest of the country thinks that way. Maybe La. and Ok.

yeah.. you'd be wrong about that.

[Maroon Blade]

Aside from the Rangers and Horns performances, it was awesome! We worked on a deer blind, rode the tractor, played in the water hose, cooked steak, hung out at granpaw's a little, went swimming with the cousins, and watched lots of football! We also cleaned up the house before supermom got home.

That's awesome!! My little buddy got to watch his first Aggie game on TV with just me and some buds. (1.5 yrs old--saw a few last yr but he was pretty clueless then).. Now he's saying football, eating steak/veggies, and pumping fists, etc.. Can't wait until I take him and his sister (3.5) to their first A&M game a little later this yr..

If he doesn't learn from his RICE mistake (personal foul - unsportsmanlike conduct) , I could see #2 costing his team a crucial penalty during a key game that has NCG implications.

The only people that want to see Johnny fail , are the ones he's playing against.

Very well put

[Dale Moser]

yeah.. you'd be wrong about that.

Do you ever get tired of being wrong?

[systemnt]

Do you ever get tired of being wrong?

I'll let you know when it happens.

Aggies are global - geographically spread out , known mostly as Boss, or Mister, or the guy on the top floor calling the shots.. you will see maroon in the crowds in mass regardless of where the games are being played. Your comment was incorrect.

Why would anyone that is not playing against Johnny wish him to fail?
Pettiness?

Since there's been some discussion of "who's got the best....", I thought I'd clarify with some stats (per ESPN):

"For every Big 12 team with an eye on winning a conference title this season, the Baylor offense is going to have to be dealt with at some point.

And it won’t be easy.

Two weeks into the season, the Bears are atop the national rankings in Total QBR (97.9), yards per game (735), yards per play (9.67) and goal-to-go efficiency (100 percent). BU also ranks among the nation’s top 15 in rushing yards at 303.5 (14) and passing yards at 431.5 (4).

The Bears offense has been that dominant during a 69-3 win over Wofford in Week 1 and a 70-13 win over Buffalo in Week 2.

Even more revealing is the Bears’ offensive production when the game was still close. Here’s a look at five revealing stats when the Bears have had the ball during a three-possession game (i.e. opponent within 21 points):

•Baylor is averaging 11.91 yards per play in that scenario, totaling 536 yards on 45 plays. They’ve scored 63 total points with a time of possession of 5:01.
•Bryce Petty is 15 of 18 (83.3 percent) for 359 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions in that scenario. He’s averaging an eye-popping 19.9 yards per attempt.
•The Bears score once every five plays (20 percent of the time) and gain a first down 48.8 percent of the time, essentially every other play in that scenario.
•BU has converted 5 of 6 third-down conversion attempts in that scenario.
•The Bears have scored five touchdowns in five red-zone attempts, undoubtedly helped by Lache Seastrunk’s 14 red-zone carries for 114 yards (8.14 yards per carry) and two touchdowns."

Consider this a PSA for those who like to boast about having the "best." Happy to be of service!

BTW - giving props where props are due, Tech is no. 2 in passing yard per game cited above (Cal. at no. 1, Oregon St. at #3, A&M at #6)

Please dont call me son.

It's a line from a song... Shoulda put a disclaimer on it. Hope you're not too angry.

Settle down beavis. They played a Junior High.
