Returning Heisman Winner
Leading Receiver Returning
Good O-Line coming back except Joeckel
Most rushers coming back + some good newcomers
Favorable schedule, with 4 bad non conference teams all at home, Alabama at home, only LSU on the road as a tough game away from Kyle
Momentum from last season
And what happens? 9-3 finish at best, 4th place in SEC West finish at best. A worse season than last year, and no signature win like Alabama to back it up. Cotton Bowl at best, no BCS appearance.
When your best win is Ole Miss, you had a failure of a season.
A&M fans will probably say "Hey going 9-3 or 8-4 in the SEC isn't a failure!" but get real. The expectations this season were BCS bowl or bust. Chance at a SEC title and national title.
If I told you going into the year that the Cotton Bowl and a 4th place SEC West finish would be the result, you all would have laughed and said no, and said that would be a letdown.
What a major letdown due to the expectations coming into this year. And with JFF gone, Evans gone, Matthews gone, and possibly Sumlin gone, this may be the peak for the near future.

I wonder if Mizzou fans feel like they are looking into the future when looking at how A&m and the difference from last year to this year.

Yea, this is definitely where I parked

You left off worse defense than last year.
Sumlin will never win shite if he doesn't start emphasizing defense. That was his problem at Houston as well.

Laces forward.

"We're playing without six starters who were suspended. This isn't what our defense really looks like."

Hate to take the wind out of your sales, but I agree. This season has been an unmitigated failure. With even a mediocre defense, this season could have been special.
Glad I wasn't one of the ones on here talking smack. Would have made this disappointing season even worse.

I would gladly trade our massive failure for theirs.

And what happens? 9-3 finish at best,
Posted on 11/24/13 at 9:25 pm to goldennugget
Yep. After a brief flash of " good" ......back to mediocre for the aTm program for the next few years. Hope you guys had fun. Sumlin can't do jack without a Keenum or Manziel carrying him.

The fact that a 9-10 win season is considered a failure...is a huge success in terms of the move to the SEC.
Less than 10 years ago, we gave coaches raises for going .500 or less after 2-3 seasons and losing bowl games.

I'm not going to disagree

Could've been worse we could've lost to Ole Miss
