re: Misery 5-6 in hoops and 4-8 in football

In all seriousness, we need Mizzou hoops to get its shite together.
Same for you Arkansas and Tennessee.
This conference should not be as bad in hoops as it is.

For A&M, I think I'd go with Reuben Foster.

We have a bunch of young talent, but lost our senior leaders.
We are still coached by Billy Kennedy, so I think we pretty much peaked last year. I expect underachievement.

Not really. You keep posting this.
If we lose, we still control our own destiny for the conference, and therefore, the playoff.
Win or lose, we still have to beat Bama to have a chance at any big goals.

I'm usually of the opinion that predicting anyone to go undefeated is ridiculous.
But I think Bama's going to go undefeated.

I love the focus on the interior run game, but I hate that he abandoned the interior run game at the exact wrong time.
The verdict is out for me on Mazzone.
Honestly, Trevor Knight is the one I'm worried about. He's going to lose us a couple games this year. The talent is there to just hand it off and distribute to the WR's, but every once in awhile, he thinks he's Cam Newton or Johnny Football. Need him to chill out on that.

Put me as an Aggie in the skeptical camp. I'm still pissed that Sumlin ran off both of our 5-star QB's.
Having an experienced guy is better than the nothing we were left with, but it shouldn't have come to this, and I'm not optimistic about how it will turn out.
It's a shame, too, because I AM optimistic about the defense for once.

Good get, Vols.
I really wish A&M was taking more than one QB this year. I'm sure we promised Murray that we wouldn't, but Murray will only be our 3rd scholarship QB on the roster next year.

Our problem was complacence.
It was bigger than one coach or a couple recruiting classes.
Slocum dominated the SWC from '85-'95. The Big 12 started and we were still the team to beat, but Mack Brown, Bob Stoops, and Mike Leach came in and changed the game before we even knew what had happened.
Mack started offering guys a year before signing day and capitalized off the momentum of Ricky Williams winning the Heisman his first year. He would lock down half of the elite guys in the state before Slocum even knew who they were.
Stoops came in and won a natty within 2 years with Blake's players. OU had underachieved big time and was being blown out in the early years of the Big 12. Nobody was ready for that. He started kicking arse and invading the state for recruits.
Mike Leach brought a new offense that nobody had ever seen before. It couldn't be stopped with the slow, fat linemen we'd brought in and Slocum never adapted. While the rise of OU and Texas led to Slocum's downfall, it was actually Leach who got Slocum fired.
We followed that up with a "home-run" hire in Franchione who had succeeded everywhere he'd been. He was horrible, but so was the situation. Another terrible coaching hire in Sherman has left us where we are. Our roster still hasn't recovered.
The bottom line is that our world got rocked when we were on the top of the Texas mountain and we were too dense to realize it. We were still beating Texas, OU, and Tech while all these changes were happening, so that made us naive to the impact it would have.

you're really not accustomed to getting good recruits are you?
I laughed because it's true. We're not used to it... not on this level.
If you think about it, we're really just recruiting this badass out of necessity. We don't have a choice. When you have Bama, Auburn, LSU, and South Carolina on the schedule every year, you're merely keeping up.
Of course, in the past we had OU and Texas every year, and couldn't remotely keep up.
So, you were making fun of us, but we all know it's true.

They're still recruiting Texas, but they're competing with Baylor, Tech, and Okie Lite for prospects instead of Texas and A&M. Definitely settling for 2nd tier now. Sumlin and A&M in the SEC is killing them.

Baylor : A&M :: Ross Perot : Bill Clinton
Baylor will take a few players a year that we want, but overall, them hurting Texas and OU helps us a lot more. They take away wins from our real competition.

I'm not as optimistic as the other Aggie who thinks we'd be okay without Johnny.
Our backup situation is a disaster right now. I hope Kenny Hill comes in ready to play this fall.
We're a 10+ win team and championship contender with Johnny. We're just another bowl team without him.

I haven't heard a single Aggie claim Tony Brown isn't top 10 in the state. In fact, everyone thinks he's probably the #1 CB in the state.

It's not a big deal. It's not like he was even committed to us. He just chose Oregon. This is very different than Bralon Addison, a long-time commit, switching to Oregon on signing day.
Glad we got Hall. A rush DE was the only missing piece in our class.

Paris is going to LSU
Noil and Willis going anywhere but LSU would be a major upset
Brown is going where his sister goes
I'm not really all that confident with any of these four, but with our current momentum and our coaching staff, we have a hell of a lot better shot than we used to.
The 2014 class is so deep at DB and A&M and LSU are already set up really well. The real losers who are going to miss out on this class of Texas DB's are Texas and OU.
Tony Brown - 5* - LSU or A&M
Nick Harvey - 4* - A&M
Ed Paris - 4* - Probably LSU
Cedric Collins - 4* - A&M
Chris Hardeman - 4* - LSU
Darrion Johnson - 4* - Tried to commit to A&M awhile back, but didn't have an offer
Nick Watkins - 4* - Probably Texas
Davion Hall - 4* - Probably A&M as his brother is on our roster
Jamal Adams - 4* - A&M or Texas
Edwin Freeman - 4* - ???
Dylan Sumner-Gardner - 4* - Clemson commit, but we'll see if that sticks
The Texas DB class is probably the deepest ever at a position in the state and LSU and A&M are already sitting pretty with the best ones.

as i've repeatedly said, sumlin needs to learn how to win the SEC. his present offense ain't gonna hack it, even when the JM guy matures. maybe, if they obtain an elite defense like lsu, florida and bama they can, with some breaks, win one before he leaves but don't bet the farm on it. history is very clear as to results when pro style teams at the top meet spread style teams. sure, some spread teams have prevailed (florida and auburn) but they knew how to run the football and control the clock when they needed to.
A&M is 10th in the nation in rushing offense.
We don't have the horses right now to consistently beat the elite teams in the conference, but that has more to do with a lack of depth than it does the system.
