    How in the crap did we lose to A&M???

    Their boards are AWESOME entertainment right now. Good to see that losing to om still convinces an opposing teams fanbase that they need to fire their coach...good luck TD!!

    Honestly, the way Sumlin coached them tonight I can understand why they would want him fired. I don't care if it's Joe Montana, you don't let your starting QB go 1-19 and leave him in like he did.

    He went 1-19? Seriously? Wtf? If there ever are times when decent teams play like flaming garbage you can bet the house it will be against UMiss.

    The Confederates have benefited from some incredibly fortunate and out of chacater bad play from their opponents in their two signature wins this year. As it always does things evened out for the Bama anomaly in th Florida game. Tonight will have to be atoned for to the football gods. I nominate Thanksgiving weekend in Stark Vegas for that atonement.

    A few fumbles on our part helped. Sumerlin is not a good coach. His system works when he has a NFL talent QB. When he was at Houston he had Casey Keenum for three out of four seasons and had three really good team. The third season out of the four Keenum was hurt and out and Sumerlin had a losing season. He walked lucked into Johnny football his first two seasons. If he was a wise man and had a chance to go to USC he better hook up because A&M with their money will fire him.

    I wouldn't say terrible, but he's nothing special. Average to good, but he won't last at aTm.

    A big reason we lost to TAMU was the Kyle Allen we played looked a lot different than the Kyle Allen that has played the past two weeks. He's been terrible.

    Part of that is probably up and down of young qb but I think the other part is that we play such softer coverage than bama and om that we allowed him to get confidence.

    But we also played sloppy on offense with some key misses and turnovers and AM played clean

    We looked soft against a&m. If we had played with the intensity as last night, we would have won.

    Main reason is because we played out there, and Ole Miss played them in Oxford. It's that simple.

    First and foremost, OM played A&M after Bama tenderized them a little. They also saw from Bama that an attacking in your face D is better to make Allen make bad decisions, then bend and don't break that we employed a lot of the game. Then also, it was a home game for OM, we were on the road. Allen is still young, and this affected him. This is the first time this year that A&M has not played in TX I believe. Finally, we did not capitalize on some big plays, and turned the ball over (not a winning combo).

    TAMU screwed up royally when they fired Mike Sherman. Coach Sherman was building a system/program that would have been better for more consistent performances in the SEC. A system that wouldn't have relied on a Johnny Football type to get hot or gimmicky offenses working without mistakes. He was building solid D first and trying to build a consistent O. Thank goodness for us and the rest of the SEC, the fan base grew impatient or we would be facing a perennial powerhouse from the banks of the Brazos. Even with Johnny Football, they had to rely on their QB to have an exceptional game to succeed. As it is now,they go as the qb goes and nothing else to fall back on. Unfortunately for us, we caught them when their qb was having a great day and we had not found ourselves and our "identity" yet.

    I've been hearing this crap for years. Sleeping giant, yada yada yada

    They haven't ever won a damned thing. I'm starting to think that recruits just don't care to go out there and be around all their weirdness.

    You nailed it. Our soft zone coverage is exactly what Sumlin's offense thrives against. The fumble by Aeris and the failed 4th down conversion to Shump were also really key plays that could have turned the game.

    I have been saying this for years. They aren't historically good, and I have no idea why people think they are such a juggernaut.

    Money, facilities, they are now in a great conference, recruiting...not much of a reach here guys.

    Also, Sumlin is a good coach. Some people forget, we are playing in the toughest division outside of the NFL.

    While the first part of what you say is true, they are absolutely attracting recruits right now. They don't seem to be developing enough of them for them to compete, but getting recruits there is not an issue.
