Yes, we followed up a top 5 finish with a mediocre year behind a less than mediocre backup QB. Could've been much worse like, say, 5-7? The horns seem to be investing in change as well but time will tell if Sark can be the X factor. I was actually more worried about Herman than I am Sark but if he's given adequate time, you never know what could happen. As far as A&M being mediocre going forward, I'm very ok with putting some money on A&M winning a NC in the next 3 years, or even 2 years if the odds are right. I sure hope yall are working on your next round of rebuttals for once that becomes reality. I'm not sure I'd enjoy success nearly as much if there wasn't a longhorn there to try and diminish it lol.
Maybe you'd actually pay up unlike some of your aggie brethren around here.Last edited by bloodtrailer28; 01-08-2022, 09:30 PM.

Also, I'd like to point out the hypocrisy of money buying mediocrity. I'm sure horn fans would do some sketchy stuff to be able to turn the largest endowment in CFB into even a mediocre season. I know plenty of horns that'd give a testicle to achieve the "mediocre" success that a&m has since jimbo arrived.Last edited by tamu_bspeck; 01-08-2022, 10:26 PM.

This following a top 5 finish in 2020 off of a 1 loss season is hardly mediocrity, imo, but ill gladly put money on that NC. 2 years pays 2:1 & 3 years pays 1:1. Name the amount

I'm good with the bet you laid out earlier
No need to put money up I'm a man of my word like most of us are here unlike some of your Aggies.
Not me....kinda fond of both of mine and no sport is worth either of them
Mediocre....8-4 right? What place in the west again? How many years in a row? Yet you Aggies are completely happy with that and think you've actually accomplished something! But hey you beat Bama and won the recruiting game!
Pretty sure you haven't seen one Horn fan bragging on here or saying anything else besides Horns have SUCKED for awhile now.

I'm an analytics guy so I keep more data than you care to hear about. In 2022 our average contributor ranking on offense/defense will be .9355 according to 247 composite with an average overall player ranking of 170. That means our average player in our 3 deep would be the 10th highest rated commit in your self proclaimed prestigious class this year. Our average starter will be just north of .9520 with an average composite rank of 130. So, no, I don't guarantee success but there is very good reason for Aggies to be optimistic. Next year is the first year we will have depth plumb across the board albeit some of it inexperienced depth. We will see how it shakes out.
Rest that foot. U just kicked every tu in the taint. Carry on!

And for the record, 8-4 behind an injured Calzada was a successful season. Not one single aggie I know expected much more after King went down. Last year we finished top 5 with 1 loss to the national championship team behind a 4th rd qb in Mond. I would have never took a title bet prior to this year bc the pieces to the puzzle weren't all on the table. I'm putting my money up now because it's my belief that the pieces are there for 2022 going forward. If Jimbo doesn't get it done in the next 3 years then it ain't a talent or depth issue. Yall will learn here in a few years just how important depth is in this league but that's beside the point. I'm just ready to see how they lay out the divisions once yall make it over and am looking forward to hopefully renewing the rivalry.

LOL at the “you Aggies are completely happy with that”. Yeah that’s why we just spent close to $30M in NIL money to get the #1 recruiting class. What folks don’t understand, you either win your division or you don’t. If you do, then you have to win the SEC CG, another feat. If you succeed there, then you get to play a semi-final game, with a chance of making the finals LSU has beaten Alabama and won the SEC West and the SEC CG once in the last 10 years, that lead to a NC. They’ve been doing this since 1950, we’ll get there, it’s comin. You’d have to be blind or stupid not to see the immense amount of talent in College Station, it’s u precedented in our history. Excuse us for having some hiccups this year. Shame on us for not having a backup QB ready to go. Shame on us for not beating Arkansas for the 11th time in a row. Shame us for losing to Ole Miss for only the 2nd time in 10 years and being .500 with MSU. The next few years are gonna be fun in Aggieland! We comin Baw!! It ain’t like it used to be and we ain’t done yet.

I wouldn't buy into that $30mil nonsense. There are LLC's in place and there are plenty of opportunities for NIL monies but there is no guaranteed money. Recruits are aware of current players NIL profitization but none were guaranteed payouts. The ones who care about NIL see the opportunity for capitalization but several of these 22 kids will and already do make more as social media influencers than they will make in NIL. This was a concerted effort and stars aligning more than it is profitability while at the college level. Like A&M or not, it's one of, if not the, best GameDay atmospheres in all of CFB. An aggie degree also carries a lot of weight. Jimbo is also highly regarded as an elite coach as are many of our position coaches and support staff. Anyone who thinks A&M isn't setup for success, outside of paying a player to attend, just hasn't been paying much attention or it hurts their soul to admit it aloud.
