I listened to the first half on the radio. Watched pieces of the second half. A&M could’ve named their score. Jimbo started treating it like a practice at some point.


Truth. I couldn't believe Jimbo was calling pass plays when up by 21 but then I realized he is just treating it like a practice at that point. They could have scored 70 w/out calling a pass play.

This man is the best recruiter we’ve EVER had. Even if he can’t coach a lick (he can) we’ll win plenty of games due to the sheer amount of talent he’s going to bring in.


this isn't the big12. nobody wins on talent alone in this conference. You have to have talent and top notch coaching.

Again, this is not at all accurate.

They jumped all over us in the 1st quarter but after that it was a pretty even game.

They ran for 151 yards in the final 3 quarters and scored 14 points. Only a few chunk runs. Their starters were in on every drive except the last one.

I’m not saying we played well or that the game was close, it wasn’t but this notion that Jimbo let his foot off the gas or something is just 100% false.

The defense actually did play better. Had the offense not put us in an early hole we may have had a chance to win the game

The first 4 possessions were

INT (short field)
3 and out
Punt
INT (short field)

What is not accurate? That they called pass plays? They did call pass plays. That they weren't running at will? They averaged over 6.5 YPC with a poor QB outing and their goto play on 3rd and long was the run because we couldn't stop it.

Are you going to try and claim after they got a 21 point lead they didn't let off the gas and put it in cruise control? They clearly did. It was "even" while they held a 21pt lead. Every time we got to 14, they went back to the run and scored again. When back to 21pt lead, they put it in cruise again.

So what part was not accurate? Please be specific.

Yes, and no they didn’t.

After going up 21-0 they ran the ball 29 times and threw the ball 17 times.

You’re not using facts here, and your statement is wholly inaccurate. The defense stiffened up after the horrific start. THAT is how the game played out.

You have to be more upset with the offense than defense in the last game, and that doesn't happen often.

yes I am. You are cherry picking and ignored what happened every time we got to 14 point game. The evidence is clear. Our D didn't improve as the game went on. When A&M wanted something they took it. When they didn't it was because they chose not to, not anything we were doing.

The offense was heading this direction all season. When you factor in the teams we played and trends, the offense was clearly not good enough. It helped to play some bad defenses. UK was clearly a good defense but they gave us so many freebies in that game it is hard to say we score anywhere near that again if UK plays smart like they have been.

bullshite. You said they stopped running the ball, which they clearly did not. Teams don’t go into mercy mode in a 3 score game in the 1st quarter. That doesn’t happen, and it didn’t happen here.

I don’t know why you refuse to acknowledge that the defense played better after the first quarter. It didn’t matter and the bar is VERY low, but that’s absolutely a fact

I bet on A&M to beat the 11.5 spread. I knew they'd win by way more than that. If my team is going to suck I might as well make money off of them.

Defense played better but they definitely tried giving their WB more reps throwing the ball because he wasn’t very good that they wouldn’t have done if the game was ever contested.

Sorry, I meant for A&M to cover the spread because I knew they'd beat Mizzou by more than 12.

It was a scrimmage guys. A&M eased up. Let's just call it like we see it. Both sides of the ball were not good. Defense looked better against a team that stopped trying.

They probably did get better. It’s hard to tell though. That first quarter is unforgivable and you don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt when you have a quarter like that.

This was certainly my perception.
The second string Oline got a decent amount of time for A&M, I’m pretty sure.

If Texas A&M can beat Alabama then can you imagine what Alabama would do to Mizzou? I am telling you they have much better players and are a step up from Mizzou level. That is reason the need to start recruiting 4* and 5* players! No way Mizzou can keep up without getting those kinds of recruits.
