I keep seeing on Twitter that Texas A&M does not want to play Ole Miss on Dec 19th in a makeup game. Is true in s true aggies ? Or just OM fans stirring things up?

Stop lying. We want to play this week and they scared. Next week they want Lsu, not A&M.

A&M would play Ole Miss on the 12th and Tennessee on the 19th.

LSU and Ole Miss will play on the 19th.

I like Ole Miss in both games.

You think it would help A&M's playoff chances to only play 9 games? That's interesting...

That was the only way the schedule could be made where all games would be played. There isn’t any days left to reschedule.

That makes no sense. If anyone isn't playing in the SEC it due to Covid. No other reason.

The only way Lsu-Ole Miss, A&M-UT, & A&M-Ole Miss happens is if it goes as scheduled. If Ole Miss cannot play this week, then maybe things get moved around and a game is potentially canceled.

A&M opened as a 2 TD favorite over Ole Miss the last time they were scheduled. Tell me why A&M should be worried?

The only reason this isn’t announced yet is because Alabama hasn’t officially clinched the west. After Saturday they will have and they will announce the schedule changes Sunday most likely.

What are you talking about? We were originally scheduled at LSU this week. Your game with Auburn this weekend was already scheduled before out game got moved. How is that us being scared to play this week?

We want every game we were supposed to have, regardless of which week it is. If you guys duck us for Tennessee then what does that tell you? You guys would rather play a cupcake east team than a divisional game against an explosive offense who's defense may be bad but gets lucky and could possibly come out with a win against you.

Can you blame them.

We've already seen them struggle to score on bad defenses several times.

Their offense could only score fgs and a 50 yard rushing touchdown against LSU. There would definitely be a chance we take a W against them.

Agreed.

Are you under the impression we would voluntarily lose home game revenue AND a potential additional win when we're currently on the outside looking in of the playoffs?

I agree with you.

They also only scored 17 on Vandy.

And yet we average ~32 a game and only give up ~22. That's why we're 6-1.

You serious clark? You guys are first out so there's the potential of getting in. I would definitely expect you to voluntarily lose home game revenue for an easy win to solidify your spot and not risk losing and dropping out.

The point is that there have been games where you've struggled to score points against bad defenses so its entirely feasible to see why Ole Miss could win.

And yet bama was a 23.5 point favorite against Ole Miss and we saw how that game went. Unless you're favorited by 30+ there's no guarantee.

Face it, you're scared.
