It's a weird feeling to be appreciative of what he did for A&M and what he accomplished during his time here while also being relieved that he is heading to the NFL.
Yep. Appreciate the games he won, including our best bowl win since the natty in 39, but also glad he’s going to move on to the NFL.
I think this was the best decision for all parties. Mond goes out on top as a NY6 bowl winner and we can move on to the next generation of QB.
Let’s be honest, if he had come back for another season and won fewer games and not made a NY6 bowl or better again, the fan base that’s already divided over him would’ve turned more against him.
And I’ll still say I think he’s at his ceiling, another year of college isn’t going to help him out draft position or otherwise.

This Orange Bowl win was not better than any of our Cotton Bowl wins. A step above the Peach vs Duke is as high as I'd rank it.
(ranking order = AP-Coaches-BCS)
'41 Cotton - 13-12 over #12 Fordham (7-1) - beating an Eastern power was a big deal at the time LINK
'68 Cotton - 20-16 over #8/7 Alabama (8-1-1) - Bear carries Stallings off the field LINK
'86 Cotton - 36-16 over #16/15 Auburn (8-3) - Tigers had Heisman winner Bo Jackson LINK
'88 Cotton - 35-10 over #12/12 Notre Dame (8-3) - had Heisman winner Tim Brown LINK
'13 Cotton - 41-13 over #12/12/11 Oklahoma (10-2) - put a cherry on top of our move from the Big 12 LINK
