A+M made us look silly last year. We looked like a pee wee football team against them. Hope you're right though.Quote:

I think they will be fine. Kingsbury leaving might hurt them the most..
As someone else said we looked totally overmatched by A&M last year, probably even moreso than Bama, so it would take a tremendous swing to the positive for us and swing to the negative for them to have any legitimate chance to beat them in College Station.Quote:

We didnt give a shit when we played A&M last year. The team was flat as hell for whatever reason...and I dont expect us to beat them this year on the roadQuote:

Just something to watch for if losing the OC causes any problems.
If we didn't give a shit to play A+M, then we have way bigger problems than getting man-handled by them at our home field. We were 7-1 when we played them, the game was hyped up more than a lot of other games with all the Snow Bowl shit, and they were brand new to the SEC.Quote:

I've seen this movie countless times. A great team loses an OL or two. They'll be the same right....not even close. Not unless they are Bama and have guys on the bench who are better than everybody else's starters.
Our aTm game is the only State game I have ever walked out on. Our team quit, so I did too. I walked out at halftime and snoozed in The Junction.
Let me just say I'm not a self-loathing MSU fan. But I just don't take wins over UF, UGA, Auburn, and Arkansas programs that are some of the worst they've ever fielded as symptomatic of program improvement. They sound good on paper, but it doesn't seem to make us much more than a paper tiger.Quote:

All you had to do was watch the game and you could see it. We had just gotten hopes, dreams, and egos crushed by Bammer and it was a letdownQuote:

Fish, they lost their center and he signed as a FA with Green Bay- I'm not talking about the other OTQuote:

I get that he is saying they have plenty of talent- not disputing that one bit. Nobody could have imagined how shitty Mike Sherman was as a coach with all the talent he had amassed. The Center they lost was a 2-time All-Big 12 OL- Patrick Carter and he is expected to make the Green Bay roster- ie lost 2 NFL linemenQuote:

Gotcha...Quote:

I've mentioned it repeatedly. They won't be as good this year. With their schedule they could still hit 9-10 wins though.Quote:
