This is gonna be long, but I'm bored and avoiding work.
It's usually a mostly steady uptick as they beat up on cream puffs and roll out to a 5-1 or 4-2 first half before the wheels fall off and the gnashing of tooth begins.
I think this year there will be a lot more zig-zags:
They'll pound Texas St. "It's finally our year, praise Jimbo and White Jesus!"
They'll get pounded by Clemson. "I'm not worried. It was a road loss against an NFL caliber team and there's a lot to learn from that game that'll help us beat Bama at Kyle."
They'll pound Lamar. "See, Cletus, I told y'all it was our year. I can't believe we're only #21. We might be the best 2-1 team ever."
They'll lose a heartbreaker at home to Auburn. "God dammit. Nobody beats us at Kyle. Auburn must be way better than people thought. But we can still win out and make the playoff."
They'll beat Arkansas by something like 28-24. "Not pretty, but a road win in the SEC is something only four or five teams in the whole country are capable of. I can't believe we're 16-point underdogs to Bama. Nobody beats us at Kyle!"
Bama beats them at Kyle by 31. "Well, shit, Cletus. What are ya gonna do? But we're still looking like a 9-3 team headed to a New Year's Six bowl."
Aggy rolls up wins against Ole Miss, Miss St, and UTSA. They're 6-3 and ranked again. "Gig 'em, bitches! Farmers Fight! This team has come such a long way - I'm telling ya, Cletus, if we could start the season over with these fine young men playing this well, we'd be 9-0."
South Carolina upsets aggy at Kyle. "Fucking refs, god dammit!"
Aggy loses by 28 at Georgia. "Hold me, Cletus."
Aggy loses by 28 at LSU to finish 6-6. "I fucking TOLD you Jimbo wasn't the guy, Cletus! Like 80% of our roster will start in the NFL and we're going to the god damned Liberty Bowl. If we don't win at least 12 next season, it's time to call Belichick."
I hate aggy, a lot. But I also love those delusional little weirdos. It's gonna be a fun year.
(And fuck you, texags)
