True Maroon vs Fake Maroon Game Thread - Brought to you by Cults for Dummies

[TheRef]

Okay. Our Bulldogs are still a 3.5 point favorite and I'm sure Kyle Field will be bumping. Both teams are 5-2 and we kick off on ESPN. Let's do this thing.

[TheRef]

We have to endure Michigan State and Northwestern go into OT before we can watch us.

[confucius say]

Are we starting on a different channel?

[BrunswickDawg]

Michigan State goes down!!!

[Jacksondevildog]

ESPN2 then they will switch to ESPN

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

I thought the Mich State receiver came down with that at first.

[TheRef]

Gabe Myles didn't make the trip. Cory Thomas made the trip and IS AVAILABLE

[TheRef]

[Hasu Dackds]

Our safeties suck so bad

[Dawgology]

Threw it to the covered guy instead of his RB running wide open

[TheRef]

PA pass deep is through the hands of the receiver.

3rd and 10

[IMissJack]

WTH is wrong with pur db's?

[TheRef]

False start TAMU

3rd and 15

[LC Dawg]

[msstate7]

We can?t cover them.

[TheRef]

Pass under the middle is caught for no gain.

4th and 15 at the MSU 48

[BrunswickDawg]

Defense bailing us out here.

[maroonmania]

Fitz should have NEVER thrown the ball he did that go intercepted. Thomas was blanketed. And our DBs still can't run with good WRs.

[Coach007]

Way to stand Harris!

[TheRef]

TAMU punt is fair caught at the MSU 13

1st and 10 MSU

[Coach007]

Fitz should have NEVER thrown the ball he did that go intercepted. Thomas was blanketed. And our DBs still can't run with good WRs.

You can't blame Fitz for a PI that's not called

[Dawgology]

Do we have anyone back this game or are our injured still injured?

[IMissJack]

At the game and aTm pumping band through speakers.

[starkvegasdawg]

Now run some option.

Gabe Myles is still injured.

Cory Thomas and Martinas Rankin are back and dressed.

[msstate7]

Guess the luck evened out

More in our favor... for once. I will take it

[maroonmania]

Guess the luck evened out

Not sure its luck when the other guys' WRs can't catch. If so, defenses we play get lucky all the time.

[Acid mouth]

DUDE had him wrapped up!

Can't catch it if you're in a bear hug so it hit Thomas in the shoulder pad. That pic isn't on Fitz. That one's on a blind ref

[Dawgology]

Gabe Myles is still injured.

Cory Thomas and Martinas Rankin are back and dressed.

Good deal. Mixon?

[Coach007]

I loved our play calling to open the game.

Now let's catch them off guard... Throw it deep

Hell of a play by Fitz. Was their DL not offsides though??

Great drive there after a Defensive stand

Face mask not called!

[TheRef]

Lots of missed calls by the officiating crew. Will be interesting to see if that continues throughout the game. odds that it doesn't.

Get ready for a tough, physical game tonight.

[bostondawg]

These refs aren't going to call anything on TAMU tonight.

[Commercecomet24]

Man we can run the football. OL doing work. We are physical on both los.

[msbulldog]

Ran about 7-8 minutes off the clock too.

[TUSK]

When did y'all hire Gene Stallings?

That drive was a thing of beauty....

Congrats!

[starkvegasdawg]

These refs aren't going to call anything on TAMU tonight.

Mullen needs to break a foot off in those officials.

[TrapGame]

These refs suck.

[msstate7]

That was a no boys allowed drive. Damn bulldogs... I am impressed

[Coach007]

Lots of missed calls by the officiating crew. Will be interesting to see if that continues throughout the game. odds that it doesn't.

Get ready for a tough, physical game tonight.

Mullen needs to be working them now

[LC Dawg]

That was a great drive. We imposed our will on them.
It?s great to see Jesse Jackson with some big catches.

[starkvegasdawg]

Now kick it through the end zone.

[Commercecomet24]

When did y'all hire Gene Stallings?

That drive was a thing of beauty....

Congrats!

We decided to become a physical team again and I?m glad!

[TheRef]

Kickoff is up and away through the end of the endzone for a touchback.

1st and 10 TAMU. Ball on the TAMU 25.

We burned 8:12 off the clock on that drive. The longest drive this season.

[Outside Dawg]

Any of our injuries come back? So much for Mullen saying everyone should be available.

[msbulldog]

I sure hope this giving Jessie Jackson some much needed confidence, we need him to step up in the worst way. I think he has about 4 catches so far.

[Coach007]

Blitz the hell out of that QB

[maroonmania]

Lots of missed calls by the officiating crew. Will be interesting to see if that continues throughout the game. odds that it doesn't.

Get ready for a tough, physical game tonight.

[TheRef]

Aggies pitch left for a gain of about 5.

[Coach007]

Come on D!!!!

[TheRef]

Run up the middle up to the MSU 48.

2nd and 5

[maroonmania]

Well, they are grinding us at the moment.

[TheRef]

Dez Harris on the ground and holding his collarbone.....not good.

[msstate7]

Dez down and we are getting run over

[BayouDawg]

We can't allow them to establish a running game. Come on d line

[BrunswickDawg]

Dez down holding his shoulder

[Coach007]

That's a collar bone! DAMN!

[msbulldog]

Not Dezmond Harris!

[Commercecomet24]

Y?all relax Grantham will make adjustments

[starkvegasdawg]

Our defensive line needs their balls to drop.

[TheRef]

Run outside for no gain.

3rd and 5.

[BrunswickDawg]

MSU 7

TAMU 0

[msstate7]

SWeat!!!

[LC Dawg]

Hell yes defense! Great job!

[msstate7]

Told y?all to relax

I will NOT relax!

[KOdawg1]

Montez Sweat will play on Sundays

[Coach007]

I hope he stays next year!!!

Sweat....We need. Championship run

[Spiderman]

Good sack, but I'd love to see Simmons move to a 3 tech on 3rd and long and other passing downs. Get him away from the double teams

[Commercecomet24]

I will NOT relax!

Lol cmon 7 this ain?t Sirmon running the d

[Spiderman]

I will NOT relax!

me either

[TheRef]

Good sack, but I'd love to see Simmons move to a 3 tech on 3rd and long and other passing downs. Get him away from the double teams

Simmons being doubled frees up men for Cory Thomas and Sweat to pressure.

[Commercecomet24]

Good sack, but I'd love to see Simmons move to a 3 tech on 3rd and long and other passing downs. Get him away from the double teams

Absolutely!

[msstate7]

Lol cmon 7 this ain?t Sirmon running the d

I wouldn?t relax if buddy Ryan was running the defense. I get excited

[Commercecomet24]

I wouldn?t relax if buddy Ryan was running the defense. I get excited

Excited is good panic is not lol

[msstate7]

Good sack, but I'd love to see Simmons move to a 3 tech on 3rd and long and other passing downs. Get him away from the double teams


I like this idea. We should always be looking to get our playmakers in position to make plays and Simmons is a playmaker

[Spiderman]

Simmons being doubled frees up men for Cory Thomas and Sweat to pressure.

Then let somebody else draw the DT. Simmons needs to be 1 on 1 more

[TheRef]

Punt is up and downed at the MSU 10

Mond looks dazed..

[BrunswickDawg]

Mond looks dazed..

And the announcers are just eating up his 4 of 6 for 11 yards like he is spectacular

[TheRef]

Fitz pitch left and Hill missed it and had to dive on it.

Loss of about 3.

2nd and 13

[Coach007]

Hill..... Man you had a lot of green right there

[TheRef]

Run up the gut for a gain to the 28 by Hill.

3rd and 7

[Coach007]

Offside

[TheRef]

Pass to he left was short and incomplete. Surprised the DB wasn't called for offside.

He was.

3rd and 2.

[msbulldog]

offside again

[TheRef]

Fitz RPO he chucks it deep and is missed.

4th and 2.

[Coach007]

I like the call.... just not on 3 and 2

[Dawgology]

Fitz has looked like shit these past two series. Terrible

[TheRef]

Delay of game.

4th and 7

[TheRef]

Cooke punts it away but he gets hit hard.

Downed.

1st and 10. Ball on TAMU 34

They're saying that since TAMU got a piece, no roughing.

[Coach007]

Fitz has looked like shit these past two series. Terrible

OMG...

[BrunswickDawg]

Cooke punts it away but he gets hit hard.

Downed.

1st and 10. Ball on TAMU 34

They're saying that since TAMU got a piece, no roughing.
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a blocked punt go that far

[Dawgology]

Man we better get our shit squared away. Playing rattled. Fitz making unsound decisions. Hill fumbling pitches. Not good.

[msstate7]

We have turned into first half ark.

[BayouDawg]

We got a very fortunate bounce on the partially blocked punt. They see something in our punt protection because they've come after both punts.

[Coach007]

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a blocked punt go that far

We got lucky on that.

[Liverpooldawg]

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a blocked punt go that far

It did get blocked. Tipped at least, legal play.

[LC Dawg]

We are better than them but if we let them hang around it could go bad. Need to put together some drives.

[starkvegasdawg]

Need a good defensive stand and our offense to settle down.

[Dawgology]

OMG...

Really? I’m not saying replace him but he hasn’t looked good these past two series. Throwing behind receivers, throwing late to open receivers. Jesus dude...

[BuckyIsAB****]

3rd and 2 and Mullen tries to get cute

[Goldendawg]

They got too close on our previous punt. We need to tighten up on special teams punt formation and blocking.

[Saltydog]

of open receivers. SIGH.....

[DoctorDawg]

Dumb question. If they get a piece of the punt (touch it) why isn't it our ball if we pick it up?

[TheRef]

Run is unable to go far.

2nd and 11

[TheRef]

Pass left is caught for a gain of 4.

3rd and 7

[TheRef]

Pass to the right is incomplete and we get a big hit on Mond.

4th and 7

[msbulldog]

Good d stand.

[BrunswickDawg]

Another 3 and out

[TheRef]

TAMU Punt is away and fair caught at the MSU 20 by Gray.

1st and 10 MSU

[Coach007]

I'm loving the pressure and the blitz from different areas.

[TheRef]

run up the gut by Williams for a gain of 7.

2nd and 3.

[Coach007]

Sick of these announcers .... ALL TAMPON U

[BrunswickDawg]

Just keep pounding Aeris

[bostondawg]

Dumb question. If they get a piece of the punt (touch it) why isn't it our ball if we pick it up?

This is actually a fascinating question that I've never thought of.

[TheRef]

Williams run is stuffed and lost 2.

3rd and 5.

[TheRef]

Fitz run up the middle for a gain of 2.

4th and 3

[Coach007]

What the HELL

[TheRef]

Punt is away but a TAMU bounce. Out at the TAMU 41.

1st and 10 TAMU

[msstate7]

Dammit Cooke.

[Goldendawg]

Bad punt, 32 yds.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Nope blowing my skirt up yet. I hope we start clicking before they do.

[Jacksondevildog]

We need to run the zone read. Don?t know why we haven?t.

[Saltydog]

NT

[Dawgology]

Bad bounce. They are loading the box and absolutely daring us to throw.

[msbulldog]

That gunner coming from right side is not getting touched on punts and he's fast.

[msstate7]

Dumb question. If they get a piece of the punt (touch it) why isn't it our ball if we pick it up?

Has to pass LOS I think

[mparkerfd20]

Mullen is Coach Cline tonight

[Hasu Dackds]

******* done gone into his shell as usual in a big game

[BulldogBear]

Punting killing us but at least I have a good view. Row 3 behind MSU water cooler at 50yl.

I had other seats but someone gave me these as I walked into the stadium.

[TheRef]

Dumb question. If they get a piece of the punt (touch it) why isn't it our ball if we pick it up?

Same reason why the offense cannot take possession of a blocked FG if it goes past the line of scrimmage. The only way the kicking team can take possession of a kick from scrimmage is if the catch is muffed, the receiving team takes possession and fumbles. That's it. The offense cannot take possession of the ball after a punt or FG, even when tipped before the LOS.

[msstate7]

Bad punt, 32 yds.

Cooke seems to always come up with some crap punts in big games

[Liverpooldawg]

NT

Yeah, to heck with trying to do what we are actually capable of doing.

[BayouDawg]

We running the stansbury stall.... in the second quarter

[Bully13]

not liking our run game. this D is supposed to be weak against the run and they are shutting us down now. we can't keep depending on our D, they are going to start wearing down. wouldn't be surprised to see A&M score based on our inability to move the chains.

[LC Dawg]

They don?t want Fitz beating them with his legs. Those completions early loosened up their defense but the later incompletions tightened it back up. Fitz is going to have to hit some more big passes soon.

[BrunswickDawg]

Pick!!

[TheRef]

PA pass is tipped by Peters and intercepted by Mark McLaurin!!!

1st and 10 Bulldogs!!!

[DoctorDawg]

Has to pass LOS I think
Makes sense.

[msstate7]

Cash this in!!!!!!!!

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Logan Cooke is A&M's best player right now

[msbulldog]

Peter's and Mclaurin.

[TheRef]

Ball at the MSU 47.

Whistle blows.

Delay of game.

1st and 15.

Delay of game after a TO. Come on Dogs.

[TheRef]

Fitz run up the middle for a gain of 2.

2nd and 13

[Coach007]

[Coach007]

1st and Goal

[BrunswickDawg]

Fitz, for the love of God, get set faster. Dammit

How is that for faster! Lol

[msstate7]

Damn, fitz... he got teed off on tho
