I was really "impressed" NOT with the Fox commentators. They were all high and mighty on ou, both picked ou hands down. It's always funny to see the "experts" make their picks. They went on and on about how this is the same old big 12 A&M team and how ou owns the Aggies. Then when it's all said and done all the experts can say is "wow". I wonder if they feel like weather men today?Originally Posted by SmoothPancakes
Even at half time all they could say is there is no way A&M's defense will be able to hold up, they played 51 plays in the first half,....well ou didn't score in the 2nd half!
I'm just happy that all the "experts" still think we are a pass happy system/gimmick offense, our defense is too small for the SEC.
It's just funny to hear all last spring/summer season how were weren't going to be able to hang. I mean it was daily, these "experts" would go on and on about how we would be lucky to win 4 or 5 games. Now you hear from none of them and when they do speak their "expert opinions" are things like "wow".
I was really blown away with Joey Harrington, I'm not sure if he was being sarcastic or if he's jealous or WHAT...when at the end of the game he puts this spin on it that Johnny Football didn't throw for 300 yards passing and rush for 200 yards, he said he was 12 yards shy, like this was a bad thing that he didn't break that record. Was he being sarcastic? Is he jealous? If they would have put Johnny back out there to run up the score and break these silly records when we already had the lead, Joey would be the FIRST person to be saying, they should have never left him in the game, risking injury just to run up the score and break records. Some people you just can't understand or appease.
I am truly impressed with Sumlin. He is one of the first coaches we've had at A&M that walks the walk. They all say things when they first arrive like, "we're going to give everyone a shot to play, if you play hard and earn the start you get it..." well Sumlin stood by that, see: C-Mike, he had words against the coach and Sumlin made an example. Mike Evans (#13) got the start at as a true Freshman, and many other players that replaced upper-classman.
I was also concerned when Kliff Kingsburry left for ttu, then after last night it didn't look like we missed a beat. So again, Sumlin is good at putting the right pieces in place.
Ever since ou and bob stoops ran up the score on us 77-0 and went for 2 at the end of the game, then senor stoops' response was, "If you don't like it stop it..." I must say beating bama was nice, Johnny Football winning the Heisman was nice, but beating ou and seeing bob stoops and his brothers' reactions, that was the icing on the cake for this Ag.
Gig 'Em Aggies!

Texas A&M 11-2 (first year in the SEC, with mikey mouse offense and too-small big 12 defense) Cotton Bowl Champs!
