If Texas can control the clock, complete passes, and run when they need to, and protect the QB they have a chance to win. But they need to get more efficient in the red zone. ISU has a chance if they can make Texas one dimensional, hold and tackle receivers with immunity, and score more points. Whoever scores more points will win.

November 16, 20232 yr 9 minutes ago, Tex-19 said: why should we believe this Welborn dude Sounds like he's a moron. SECRant aggy board is saying that the same source reported that Petrino would be promoted to HC just a few days ago. Here are some comments over there. I will say, a lot of aggys have been pretty rational in discussions about Traylor. Even they realize his resume is thin. Quote We’re not hiring Traylor. And that same poster said we were promoting Petrino just a few days ago. And the Jimbo hire was known to be brewing by A LOT of people mid-November 2017. Woodward and he had already been in talks for a month and the big donors had already been notified. I hope your sources are right this time and it's not a repeat of Doug Meechum for OC, Bud Foster for DC, or Sumlin being fired in '15 and '16. Basically the most impressive thing Traylor has done was almost beat BYU in the COVID year. As far as Traylor goes, IDGAF if he bad mouthed us on the recruiting trail while at Texas. He’s had the same (very good) QB his entire tenure at UTSA, and he doesn’t have a single marquee win where they punched above their weight the way even a Herman or Sumlin did at UH. When he was a P5 assistant every staff he was on got their fricking skulls kicked in on the field and on the recruiting trail. I don’t think it will be him but woof it is. I don’t know much about Traylor but from the way it sounds I think I’d rather promote ERob, I’d have no issue taking my licks with him early on and letting him grow. Seems like that’s what we’d be doing with Traylor anyways
November 16, 20232 yr Pate is all about the clicks. He sells aggys hope, and says they should do better when the roller coaster face plants. He’s Looch in a muscle shirt. Pate is pretty clever. He found an underserved demographic.
November 17, 20232 yr If I did Twitter I would ask Pate if aggy loses to LSU would aggy move into his top 10. I don't know if he has a hard on for aggy or a blind spot for talent. He does the same for Mario. Always apologizes for him and commends the talent he has brought in. I don't think he really has anything for aggy, just a business decision to get more views. It also helped when he was just getting his thing started and aggy (Looch aided I'm sure) pretty much rolled out the red carpet when he announced Bama at aggy as one of the games he and his crew would be attending in person. I like Pate, but he can be a bit too diplomatic at times...he won't outright trash any program even if they deserve it. Yeah, his Pate poll or whatever it’s called is….interesting. I get it, he goes by who would be favored on a neutral field but this week’s poll still has aggy at #18? It’s odd. He also claimed there are “firmly entrenched coaches” who have reached out to aggy. Me at the gym when I heard that: He's just regurgitating aggy propaganda he's being fed. Nothing more, nothing less.
November 17, 20232 yr why should we believe this Welborn dudeI can't give you a reason, but Traylor was my pick for who they'd ultimately end up with on day one. Of course they kicked the tires on Lanning, Dabo and possibly a couple other big names, but fiscal reality is starting to set in with their BMD's about now.
November 17, 20232 yr Based on actual on actual resources, money, fans support, recruiting base, conference, facilities and NIL A&M is a elite tier job, so the the national media are not dumb asses for call long A&M a top five job. The real dumbasses are the people in charge of A&M with the resources of a top 5 program and have jack shit to show for it. Y’all sound like Texags complaining about some media conspiracy, the national media does not go digging into the politics and card room meetings where the real dysfunction that makes A&M what they are happens. National writers ask the local “beat writers” for information on what’s happening and as well all know A&M has successfully purged any local reporters not taking orders directly from A&M.

November 17, 20232 yr What I’m waiting for is aggy to balk at the Elko price tag and then go to Traylor and see him demand to bring in his own guys…. So either he gets stuck with most of the old staff (because $$ is tight) or he gets to can the staff and gets a low ball budget that turtle Tom used to being in his buddies on the cheap (buyout $$ ain’t cheap for all those dudes they renewed). So either way he wound end up costing close to Elko..

If Traylor pulls a Herman and just brings all his UTSA buddies it's over from the start. That should have been the first sign for everybody that Herman wasn't ready for a big time gig.

I listen to Pate because he provides a nice national summary of the local echo chambers plus gives me a summary of the Vegas odds as he compares them to his odds. When I hear him talk about Texas or A&M I know his opinions come from the echo chamber of the Texas $9.95ers or Looch. So I can assume he has the local spin guys feeding him summaries for the other programs. There are no details to be had and it is not what I expect. He is not going to sit there and listen to Coach or Rod Babers breakdown what is up with the Texas squad or the guys the do the same for other programs.

I have zero doubt about it because he sounds like pubes when he is saying it. He graduated in 2004 from High School and has only been following A&M for a couple of years. If he remains interested in 5-10 years he will realize that what he was being told about aggy by others was all true. Edited November 17, 20232 yr by DanTheHorn

Kevin Sumlin: 51-26 at A&M, fired in 17, hired at Arizona, went 9-10, fired after 2020 and hasn't been a head coach again and is now an OC at Maryland. didn't have a winning season as a HC after he left A&M. Mike Sherman: 25-25 at Texas A&M, fired in 2011, hasn't been a college coach since. was a high school coach - went 4-18 and resigned. was a coach in the CFL, went 5-13 and resigned/was fired. didn't have a winning season as a HC after he left A&M. Franchione: 32-28 at A&M, fired in 07. went to Texas State, went 39-43 there. retired after going 3-9 in 2015 and ended his coaching career. had 1 winning season as a HC after he left A&M. RC Slocum: 123-47-2 at Texas A&M. forced to resign in 02, never coached again at any level after he was the HC at A&M. didn't have a winning season as a HC after he left A&M. Jackie Sherrill: 52-28-1 at A&M, forced to resign in 88. then went 75-75-2 at Mississippi State. had 7 wins in 13 years there, finished his last 3 years 8-27. never coached again. had 7 winning seasons as a HC after he left A&M. success after he left. Tom Wilson: went 21-19 at A&M. left there and never as a HC again. was coaching high school football 2 years later. didn't have a winning season as a CFB HC after he left A&M. Emory Bellard: 47-27 at A&M, resigned midseason after losing 2 games by a combined score of 67-6. coached at Miss State for 7 years after A&M. had 2 winning season as a HC after he left A&M. Gene Stallings: 27-45-1 at A&M before they fired him in 1971. Then wandered the desert for almost 20 years before he became a HC at Alabama in 1990. had a winning record all 7 years he was there, including a national championship and 2 other top 5 finishes. had 7 winning season as a HC after he left A&M. let's call him a success after he left. Hank Foldberg: went 6-21 at A&M before they fired him in 1964. never coached again. didn't have a winning season as a HC after he left A&M. Jim Myers: 12-24-4 at A&M before they fired him in 1961. never was a head coach again. didn't have a winning season as a HC after he left A&M. Bear Bryant: 25-14-2 at A&M. left for Alabama. 232-46-9 there including a bunch of national championships. clear success after he left. Raymond George: 12-14-4, fired after the 53 season. never was a head coach again. didn't have a winning season as a HC after he left A&M. Harry Stiteler: 8-21-2 at A&M before he left coaching in 50. never was a head coach again. didn't have a winning season as a HC after he left A&M. Homer Norton: 82-53-9 at A&M, they fired him in 47. never was a head coach again. didn't have a winning season as a HC after he left A&M. Matt Bell: 24-21-3. i think they fired him in 33. he went on to SMU and went 79-40-8 including a national championship and 3 other conference championships. clear success after he left. DV Graves: 6-1 at A&M in 1918 before he was hired over but stayed on as an assistant under Dana X Bible. Bible was there in 17 and back in 19. he went on to Montana State in and was there for 2 years going 5-5-1. had 1 winning season as a HC after he left A&M. Dana X Bible: 72-19-9 at A&M. idk what happened with him leaving but he won 50 games at Nebraska and 63 at Texas. this is also as far back as i'm willing to go. clear success after he left. also fuck mike farrell.
November 17, 20232 yr “Maybe in 2023 by itself. A one year window. A&M has been better since 2010 by most any metric - wins, conference wins, bowl wins, etc. Nobody was tooting our horn when we were on top in a one year window, but as soon as they get one to go their way, they are great and we are clearly behind - becomes the narrative.“ can one of you autistic degenerates check his math on this? I’m pretty sure this is how they talk shit into existence and poof, a new tradition is born.
November 17, 20232 yr It’s not that the job has some curse on it and it’s an actual “Coach Killer.” It’s the fact they hired a bunch of shitty coaches and were running 2nd/3rd/4th fiddle to so many other schools during most of their history, but mostly us obviously. They cheated themselves into relevancy, got caught, went back to being irrelevant, moved to the SEC, had one good year, and built the hopes and dreams of the program on top of that season. Then they cheated themselves into what they thought would be relevancy again but has turned them into a complete laughing stock. They have the money and “infrastructure” that should make the a premier destination for a coach worth his salt but it’s never materialized. But what good jobs have people gone to, not succeeded, and had great and lengthy careers after? We know how the story has gone for all the coaches that failed and left texas. Same for Nebraska, Alabama, Florida, etc. So it isn’t that you take the A&M job and you’re doomed to fail, it’s that they’ve hired people that were never fully qualified to begin with and failing was inevitable.
November 17, 20232 yr Pate saw how Looch is running a profitable business at the state level by fleecing those farmers, and he realized he could do the same on the national level. I should have thought of this business plan 20 years ago.
November 17, 20232 yr Popular Post Lots of fun crying (snap reaction is they shouldn’t have don’t it but it’s aggy so shrug and laugh) but I want to make sure that if anyone missed it, there’s a post wherein the poster spells groveling “grauvelling”
November 17, 20232 yr These things always come in threes. 1) Jimbo canned via Twitter. 2) GigEm247 killed via cannibalism. Somebody find Jackie Sherrill fast.

November 17, 20232 yr Popular Post Just to be clear, they’re upset that a for profit national media outlet made a video speculating where players might transfer off aTm, after the clock started on free transfers from the largest coaching buyout of all time, and the #1 recruiting class of all time, in the age of NIL, and clicks and content?
