On what basis does anyone think A&M has a chance tomorrow?

IMO, the only explanations are as follows:

1. You're an A&M fan and strongly believe in the team, players, and program, kind of like parents believe in their kids and don't pay attention to the outside. Maybe you work with them, grew up with someone on the team, know them from town or church.

2. Random probability propels A&M to victory and the lesser team happens to come out with the win on that given night--basically crazy shite happens in sports sometimes. Anything is possible so why not us?


What else gives A&M hope they will win?

Two words: Season opener


Anything can happen. (These words don't count towards the number of words)

Haven't you heard, they've taken the SEC by storm! A big road win would be par for the course for the program that came in and rocked the conference by taking third and fourth in the west already!

I haven't predicted an A&M win

I just know a troll thread when I see one

First game unknowns. A&M should be able to score and the thought is that the defense can't get worse. Hope for a shoot out and Thompson to make mistakes.

1. Sumlin coaches high scoring teams. If the ags can score 38+, they have a decent chance
2. USCe almost always starts the season sluggish
3. The offensive talent outmatched the opposing defensive talent; we are not exactly facing 2012 Florida
4. Sumlin generally does well on the road
I still think we lose, but here some reasons

To be fair, while this is true, we haven't lost a season opener with Spurrier at the helm.


Doesn't mean it can't happen though.

I don't think he will, tbh. Gonna have to force some kind of turnovers to have a shot, IMO, but I think we'll have to look to force them elsewhere than a QB who's been in the program for 5 years. He's not gonna lay it down easily.

I think SC lays a beatdown on the Aggies. They have high expectations for the season and they won't let A&M derail them.

And USC always starts "sluggish" because they have, historically, opened with a very good opponent. While Carolina does play an FCS/cupcake team every year, they haven't started the season with one since Holtz was here.

I think USC's reputation as coming out slowly has an awful lot to do with the level of competition that they've played to start the season.

Anyone that thinks TAMU doesnt have the talent to win this game is a hater.

That being said, USCe at home, with that running game, on paper, should control the game. But I wouldnt be surprised if TAMU hits some big plays to keep it respectable.

A chance? Spurrier loses a game he shouldn't every year at Carolina.

I don't even know why we are bothering to make the trip. Sumlin should just email SC and forfeit. After all, we don't stand any chance at all.

They will be in attendance, but they don't have a chance...

Ags are doing to get slaughtered.

It's going to be a painful season for them.
