Arkansas fans need not call anyone delusional.

As for USCe and A&M. It was all about who caught people's eye and did more than expected. USCe didn't surprise anyone A&M did. Its the same reason everyone noticed Ole Miss even though they only went 7-6. Its because neither were expected to do much. USCe was expected to be good.

South Carolina's 35-7 win over Georgia was a lot more impressive than Texas A&M's 29-24 win over Alabama. As anyone who watched the SEC championship last year can attest, Alabama and Georgia were pretty equal. A&M played Florida a lot closer, but the SC game against Florida was such an aberration that it's hard to compare. How many times does a team score 44 points while racking up 180 yards of total offense? SC also beat a good Clemson team, while A&M is too busy whining about Texas to preserve their own historic in-state rivalry.

Also, we're a better road team than home team. Aggie fans, beating us at Kyle Field would be a bigger accomplishment than beating us in Bryant-Denny.

Guess you don't remember how bad Florida looked in their opener last year.
Play like that against aTm and y'all lose by two scores.

False, considering the circumstances and the uncertainty of how we would perform in our first year in this league.

Guarantee that fans nationally probably do not remember that SCAR beat UGA last season. Everyone remembers the A&M/Alabama game.

Ya'll got blown out in one of your losses, and they went to a better bowl game.

It wasn't your typical blowout though. Florida's offense was given very short fields early in the ball game. Florida forced those fumbles but don't act like you destroyed us when you only won the 2 biggest stats, i.e. score and turnover margin.

Additionally, the bowls pick the teams, so let's leave that little point aside.

Furthermore, South Carolina blew out the SEC East Champion 35-7. This was the same SEC East Champion that took Alabama down to the wire.

Also, Florida and LSU did not have the offense to beat Texas A&M by several touchdowns last year which means that the only way either of you could have scored big was via huge defensive and Special Team Plays which obviously didn't occur.

Let's just say that South Carolina's blowout win at home over Georgia and blowout loss at Florida cancel each other out. All you're left with is a loss at LSU. Let's do something similar A&M. Their 5 point win over Alabama is canceled out by their 5 point loss to LSU. All they've gotten is a loss to Florida. Now compare. With that in mind, which season was better?

Both had a player set the record for most yards in the history of Bowl games.


Wrong.
Most rushing yards by a QB in a bowl game. Ty Detmer holds the total yards bowl record.

I love the SC hate for A&M! It's going to make for a fun (for A&M) cross division game for a long time.


Can't wait for A&M to win the SEC before you!

Okay? Thanks for irrelevant information, not sure what your point is. He still holds the record regardless.

All that I've got from this thread is that UF owns both South Carolina and A&M.

I wouldn't mind it being the opener every year we play it at South Carolina either. It'll help to add to the forced rivalry. Just a little gimmick to go along with it, you know?

If USCe played A&M last season, who wins? Does Clowney pose enough of a threat to lead USCe to a victory? Or does Manziel do what Manziel did pretty much all year and make USCe look like clowns?

Spurrier would've coached circles around Sumlin.

Wouldn't even of had to double team him. Joeckel would have worked him over. Having the best offensive lineman in the country has its benefits.

Lol, you have no respect for Clowney, do you keep watching football after a&m plays? You sound very hostile towards anything that isn't 100% aggy everyday all the time and everywhere.
