Bama never left, TAMU is playing horribly but they aren't THAT bad.

It is like a boxer connecting with another boxer on the chin when he is leaning the wrong way in the first round and he goes straight down. I am not saying that it was a lucky punch, but the combination of the force of the punch and the boxer leaning off balance combined to create the knock down. The two boxers might be more even, in reality, but the circumstance led to the first round knock down.

I think this post is probably the most accurate that I have seen.

'Bama is better than TAMU this year, and TAMU is not an especially good football team. No doubt about it. But TAMU is not 59-0 bad.

That is a really good analogy....Aggie isnt that bad....they just got mauled early and folded. They have talent but the team couldn't or wouldnt respond to Bama and that is on the coaches.

True Bama has been solid all year, but not the dominating team they have been in the recent past, obviously talent is there. So some of both because TAM is starting to mail it in.

The difference between Bama in the last 2 games cannot be explained away by the home field, but it does indicate the foolishness of comparing scores against the same opponent.

Fans often forget that two teams are playing by just concentrating on their team and saying we looked great or sucked.

Bama played with an underlying motivation, while aTm is trying to figure out how they fell off the map so quickly!

I think this was a classic example of one team emotionally up and another team emotionally down.....as the score would indicate......

it's like aTm has given up on their season since losing to Moo State.......
