Ags are sitting at 2-2.
I was pretty sure my team would lose to the nation’s #1 & #2 teams.
So I’ll say we’re where I thought we’d be ... .500/in the middle.
I feel like A&M’s season starts now.


Where are y’all with your preseason expectations?

That’s the Aggie mindsight I know...so it is like it used to be.

Figured we'd be 4-0 or 3-1 right now, with Auburn being close to a 50/50 game. Maybe 40/60 in Auburn's favor.

So LSU is a little "better" than I thought they'd be. But still not super impressed. We have had major lapses on both sides of the ball at times this season.

LSU at 4-0 is exactly where I thought we would be.

Is that Aggie math?

We are 4-0, 2-0 in SEC, both road games. We’ve scored 40 points in every game, Fromm played his first 4th QTR of the year yesterday and we’ve got the state of Tenn at home next two weeks.

I don’t think we are the 2nd best team In the The country, but the rant told me we were replacing 35 seniors so I guess we are doing ok.

I don't think even the most pessimistic Arkansas fan saw this start coming.

Oddly enough our defense has played much better then I expected... its just hard to stop opponents when your offense and special teams hand them the ball inside your own red zone time and time again.

The offense has been worse then I thought, Cole Kelley looks completely lost and while Ty Storey seems to get the offense I'm not sure he has the talent to run it. The running game, with the exception of Boyd, has been a major letdown though the offensive line is playing better then expected.

The special teams... I haven't had enough to drink this morning to address our special teams play. Suffice it to say there are probably High School teams in Arkansas with better special teams then us right now.

If the offense continues to improve and our defense continues to play well... we still might not win another game unless the special teams get fixed. If we can improve that to merely horrifyingly bad then we win a couple of games towards the end of the season.

About where I thought we'd be. New HC so the new Offense is up and down but shows improvement from last year and the defense is getting better each week in a new alignment/scheme.

If A&M's defense is truly as good as it looked against our ground game? I'm a tad disappointed.

If it's shitty (and so far I don't think it is), we might not repeat.

Figured we'd be 2-2 with close losses to Florida and State.

Needless to say, they're exceeding expectations. By a smidge.

we are objectively bad on offense and way worse than where I thought we'd be

I had very high confidence that we would be 2-2 at this point, but we’re better than I thought we be. I don’t expect to win out, but there is no single game left on our schedule that I expect to lose.

I was hoping we'd be 3-1. At 4-0 I don't even have to take my anti-depressant meds.

Bad on offense.

Elite D. Even better than expected and I expected a top 5ish D.

Special teams a bit better than expected.

Overall, a bit worse than expected but doing ok. Gus's offenses have sucked in September every year except 2014 and we are 1 point from being ranked in the top 5, but still in the top 10 and should be 7-1 going into a home game vs AtM when Nov gets here.

UK is ahead of where I thought they would be. I was expecting 3-1 and we are 4-0 and have looked better each week.

Tough stretch coming up with SC an ATM. Would love to get to the bye week unbeaten.
