Yep. The number of sellouts and the strong second-hand market all season is indicative we're a bit small; especially when you look at some of the other SEC facilities. ...
Put in a request for all-session tickets ahead of time and was told I got them and would have them later today. Still don't see them. The e-mail I got saying I would have them said "There is no secondary market on Flash Seats for NCAA events." I take this to mean the tickets can be transferred, b...
Well, tonight sucked. But it was a helluva ride. Arguably the best in Aggie basketball history; and certainly one of the three best. Wish we would have played with more urgency in the beginning. We went up, but behind the three-ball you knew we couldn't maintain. Needed to ram it down their thr...

re: 2016 Recruiting Discussion

Mark Passwaters from 10 minutes ago... I’m not much on the doom and gloom stuff that’s dominating the board lately. It’s going to be a wild couple of weeks, but I think A&M’s going to end up with a class in or around the top 10. It’s not going to be a disaster....
I must admit I've enjoyed reading the board a lot more now that we're a more positive group. This year has already been special, and has the potential to eclipse anything BCG gave us. Sitting at the LSU game was something else....I hadn't seen anything that electric since the days of Acie Law and ...
Founds this interesting. Kennedy is just behind Metcalf; and well behind Gillespie/Turg. Kennedy may have the third-best winning % of any coach we've had since '64 (despite being average compared to the win % over that period), by the end of the year. He will never catch Turg/Gillespie. But coul...
Here's something to think about....A&M rankings at end of season....this is our history. We have a VERY poor basketball history...and a fanbase that doesn't seem to realize men's bball is a sport....The fact you guys care puts you in the upper 2% of Ags... Season Coaches rank 1950-1951 18 ...
My bad. Meant "BG" not "BK." And I totally agree that the SEC is ripe for racking up wins (just as our football schedule was the same this year). On what Turgeon would do with this talent, the point is moot, as Turg couldn't bring in this type of talent. He is accountable for his own recruitin...
I don't even know how to respond to some of this stuff, like metrics showing team degeneration despite improved W/L record, improved postseason tourneys, etc. As far as a top 10 recruiting class of freshman equaling a sweet 16 berth, I'm not sure where you'd go besides Michigan's Fab 5. Because mo...
I'm not sold on Kennedy, but just looking at stats/facts, he's showed slow but steady improvement on record over his career with few exceptions. That's his MO. Why isn't anyone excited about this?: 2012–13 Texas A&M 18–15 7–11 2013–14 Texas A&M 18–16 8–10 2014–15 Texas A&M 21–12 11–7 A...
Seems we're really struggling with running sets, etc. Feels like an unorganized game of pickup ball, watching us. Seniors get aggressive and we can get into transition....we look good. Seniors not ready to go (like first half tonight) and we can't get easy transition buckets....we look bad. I'...
You're right. Pinkel was 22-25 his first four years at Mizzou. Briles was 25-25 his first four at Baylor. Sumlin is 33-13 (with several games left this season). Thanks for the perspective.... :cheers: Found the sunshine. I can sleep now. We should still finish with 9 wins....
I had not heard about the blowup (busy week) until I jumped on here after the game. It was so obvious Murray was in the doghouse during the game. From Harris coming over and asking "Why aren't you in?" to Sumlin's reluctance to pull him to what seemed to be like apathy from several of the receiver...
Yeah, when you look at what guys like Gary Pinkel, Art Briles, and this year Jim Harbaugh have done with lesser talent, it makes me wonder why we keep saying we have to stack another 15 top 10 recruiting classes before we have a shot. At some point, we can't keep beating the recruiting drum; at som...
Sorry, all. I'm just not good at melting. My time is normally spent pumping sunshine. But tonight, I can find any to pump. Had Hubanek started, we might have had a shot. I disagree that it was an entire team effort tonight. We held Ole Miss 20 points below their season average, and still got b...
I meant this tongue in cheek: Fire Spav and we instantly become contenders for a division crown Obviously we'd have to hire a competent OC. But we DID become defensively legitimate overnight by firing our DC and getting one who knows what he's doing. There's $500B spent on a new stadium, pai...
Fire Spav and we instantly become contenders for a division crown....
This: Chavis was worth far more than Malik Jefferson. A good OC is worth far more than a 2017 recruit....
Does anyone have a clue as to why Kyler Murray didn't play and we stuck with Allen for 22 straight passes with no positive yards?...
