Last Saturday I spent the day watching games with some friends. One that had coached and played at aTm, we were talking about aTm’s failure on offense. It was exposed last night. The queen (RIP) was 13 years old the last time aTm won a Football NC. ND still hasn’t won a game since Kelly left. Kentucky did one on Fla, lots of folks wanted Fla to move up fast in the polls after their first game. Oh, the Nebraska’s buyout drops a bunch in October, for those watching that one.

The sports writers get a lot wrong with early season rankings. They rely on last years play, and the reputation of the program. they'll shuffle the rankings and in another couple of weeks, they will be close. Some say there should be no ranking until Oct.1, and that would be a good idea, but face it, sports fans like to discuss this stuff and offer their opinions. But geeze, aTm was ranked #6! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dachsie Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Y'all should have seen some of the comments on Texags. It was hilarious! Some of my favorites: 1. No matter what happens we don't deserve to win this game We've been out coached Their OLine has pushed our DLine around Our dbs have been picked on Our OLine is atrocious King looks lost (granted it's some other factors other than just king but 2-3 fumbles is bad) App St is more physical Gonna be a long season unless something happens But hey we're the undefeated champs of "next year is our year" lol 2. This team is a dumpster fire. We've got the great 12th Man, 4 and 5 star players, a highly paid coach and the greatest stadium in the country. This is the greatest mediocre team of all time. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As interim, Mickey Joseph is the first Black head coach in Nebraska history. Not just football. Every sport. They didn’t wait. Joseph played quarterback for Nebraska from 1988-1991. He has been a position coach at several different schools and was wide receivers coach at LSU before joining Frost’s staff at Nebraska. Joseph will have a big challenge in his first game as head coach, taking on Oklahoma on Saturday.

LSUDad Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Last week, the Texas A&M Aggies suffered one of their most embarrassing defeats of recent memory as the Appalachian State Mountaineers took them down on Kyle Field, 17-14. The final score wasn’t indicative of the actual game, as A&M was essentially dominated for 60 minutes on their home turf. App State won the turnover battle 2-0, which is always a massive advantage and also outgained A&M 315-186 in total offense, holding the ball for an impressive 41:29, compared to that of A&M’s time of possession of 18:17. When Texas A&M hired Jimbo back in 2018, he was fresh off a 5-6 season at Florida State, but prior to that he had won double-digit games six of the last seven years. His record with the Seminoles was 83-23 (78.3%) and he had brought them one national championship and made one College Football Playoff. Since arriving in College Station, Fisher hasn’t had a single double-digit win season and has taken the Aggies to just one New Year’s Six Bowl. This is especially cringe-worthy when you consider that Texas A&M’s chancellor, John Sharp, presented Fisher with an undated national championship trophy when he was hired… Since then, Fisher has gone 35-15 and the “12th Man” is starting to get a bit restless without anything to show for their investment in their head ball coach. So, what if A&M decided that it was time to move on and find a new leader for its program? According to an excerpt from a recently published article from The Athletic, Jimbo won’t be going anywhere for a long, long time. Unless a few Aggies boosters have around $85 million in liquid assets they can live without, Fisher’s seat is going to remain ice cold for many more years,” Stewart Mandel writes. “Just last year, A&M took his original 10-year, $75 million contract from 2018, added an extra four years to take it through 2031 and upped the annual average salary to $9.5 million starting in 2022. “The entire contract is fully guaranteed. So were A&M to fire him after this season (it won’t), he still would be owed nine more years of salary. No program in college football history has tethered itself so tightly to a coach who has yet to deliver even a division championship. But that doesn’t mean his time there will be pleasant if the Aggies continue to move backward since peaking at 9-1 in 2021.“ That is a tough place to be for Aggieland, but that’s the price of business. Unfortunately, the road for A&M gets much tougher down the stretch as they will face No. 13 Miami this week, followed by games against No. 10 Arkansas, Mississippi State, and No. 2 Alabama. That is just their schedule through the second week of October, so they’d better get something figured out on offense if they hope to keep their 2022 hopes alive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought his original deal, coming off the 5-6 season at FSU, was a stretch. but to tack 4 extra years on a five year deal, without one double digit win season, at a raise from $7.5 mil a year to $9.5 mil a year, that is lunacy. He could come back with his 4 and 5* recruits and when they get experience, have a good year next year, or sometime in the next nine years. But from here, he sure lacks consistency.

LSUDad Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Texas A&M football coach Jimbo Fisher 'is on the hot seat' after loss to Appalachian State ByDEAN STRAKA 14 hours ago Appalachian State shocked the college football world in Week 2 as the Mountaineers went into Kyle Field and walked out with a 17-14 victory over then-No. 6 Texas A&M. Aggies head coach Jimbo Fisher now owns a worse record than his predecessor, Kevin Sumlin, though 50 games in College Station — Fisher is 35-15 while Sumlin was 36-14 — putting the fifth-year Texas A&M coach under a microscope and potentially on the "hot seat." Fisher was hired in late 2017 with the expectation of delivering championships, but those have yet to come while the Texas A&M coach now has the blemish of a home loss to a Group of Five squad. CBS college football insider Dennis Dodd said Fisher's shortcomings are enough to put the Texas A&M head coach, who won a national championship at Florida State in 2013, on the proverbial "hot seat." Dodd said that doesn't mean to Fisher will be fired anytime soon — the size of Fisher's contract and buyout will likely impede the Texas A&M brass from doing so — but Texas A&M is behind schedule enough that Fisher is under a microscope going forward. "Yeah, let's make this clear. Jimbo Fisher is on the hot seat," Dodd told CBS HQ. "Now that does not mean he is going to be fired. This is Year 5 of the investment and there is so much money invested in him and the NIL money invested in those players that they are not going to get rid of him just yet. But it's a unique situation at Texas A&M when they turn on you. They don't just turn on you. They run you out of town when they think it is time. And there are profound problems right now with the Aggies. You mention the App State game. I saw an effort problem. I looked at the film and I saw a preparation issue and effort problem. App State, a speedy as they are offensively was continually turning the corner on that defense that was supposed to be the best. Chase Brice, the transfer from Clemson, was able to make enough plays. Texas A&M missed a kick and there were PI calls on back-to-back plays. That's just discipline and preparation and everything else." Quarterback play and the Texas A&M offense at large were particular points of criticism for the Aggies in the loss to App State. Texas A&M's offense was held to just 180 total yards and seven points in the loss, with quarterback Haynes King passing for a mere 97 yards. Fisher hinted a quarterback change was possible amid the shaky start for King, with LSU transfer Max Johnsonand five-star freshman Conner Weigmanthe other options. Dodd added the plethora of five-stars on Texas A&M's roster is a conundrum of its own for Fisher. "You have those eight five-stars that were brought in" Dodd said. "They are not just going to sit on the bench. He has to play them or they are going to leave. They have to gets some snaps in the middle of chasing a championship. Texas A&M isn't out of it. This is a big one this week against Miami. A lot is going on in College Station." Texas A&M looks to rebound in Week 3, though that's no easy challenge as the No. 24 Aggies play host to No. 13 Miami (2-0). Texas A&M must win to avoid falling below .500 for the first time since Week 1 of the 2012 season, the first under Sumlin. Kick for Saturday night is slated for 8 p.m. CT at Kyle Field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSUDad Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Rueben Owens is considered the top-rankedrunning back prospect in the Class of 2023 and he is no longer interested in visiting Texas A&M. He announced that his previously-planned trip is officially off after the Aggies’ upset loss to App State last weekend. Owens, who is from El Campo, Texas, is a senior this fall. He ran for 2,989 yards and 46 touchdowns last fall, which led him to be named Max Preps’ 2021 National Junior of the Year. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
