re: Jimbo will be 3-1 vs LSU after this season, will that force LSU to make a coaching change?

you no longer have your best QB since wonder Johnny. please explain where you get 'better' from.

i know nothing about a&m football. i am interested in learning though.


Mond was a good QB but had large limitations to his game - mainly the unwillingness to throw deep. He could, just didn't really want to do that. He became great at ball-control, but there is a reason the majority of the explosive plays were running plays. His replacement will be one of two players - Calzada or King. Calzada has a cannon on his shoulder, and is more of a gunslinger. The favorite is King - who has the athletic ability of Justin Fields (he's an amazing athlete) but is also a coach's son and has great accuracy - extremely football smart. His arm is strong enough, but slinging it around is not his game. Think Plumlee with the ability to throw the football.

King is expected to be the QB, and the A&M offense will be very different as a result

The OL is a little bit of a concern but I have a lot of faith in Henson. His OL went from 84th in his first year, to fourth in his second year with the same players (I think those are the stats). All the departing Seniors had a lot of heart, but their replacements are at least as talented individually. They just need snaps, because OL is the hardest to project. We also run a lot of two TE sets so that will help the new OL.

We will return Spiller/Achane at RB. Spiller played hurt the majority of last year
We have a mixture of young WR's, and some with experience. Some of the younger receivers are hugely talented but have to prove it on the field

And on defense, we return almost everyone, and will rotate young, extremely talented players into the lineup. The scary thing is that most of the "talent" on this team is just now becoming Jr's, and are mostly sophomores and below.

Fisher has now stacked three talented classes in a row. We are recruiting at a level we have not in decades, and 2022 is going to be the first class with on-field results to recruit from. Hence, why we cannot wait for next year. This will be the first time in the SEC we are close to the elite teams talent-wise

Winning in “tiger stadium” has become a meme at this point. LSU is better away than at home

How about if the Aggies win something before you mouth off? But, I understand that Aggies have always run their mouths, Will Aggies every win anything?

Y’all had the better team this year I’m not arguing that.

But do you realize you were a slight bobble and a dumb pick-6 both by true freshmen away from being in a dogfight with a team that didn’t have half your depth and experience?

If Boutte holds on and TJ doesn’t make a boneheaded throw you would have had to rely on Mond actually making plays...

I don’t see your point, unless you’re also pointing out that 4 of LSUs recent victories against Aggie were given to them my bad calls, missed chip shot field goals and fluke lucky breaks

Is that what you’re saying?

Exactly when is a win a win? Only when it happens in favor of LSU? And let’s not ignore that Aggie all but shut lsu out last year. Scoring when down 20 points with 40 seconds to go?

Congrats I guess? LSU had true freshmen quarterbacks and a very inexperienced offensive unit overall.

Meanwhile, a much more experienced A&M offense with a four year starting quarterback and "quarterback whisperer/offensive genius" as head coach put up only 13 points on one of the worst defenses in the entire country.

So let me guess, Gus got fired for his lone loss to A&M?

Deal with it, you got your arse kicked for 59:20 and we let you score once because we didn’t care

You're bragging about shutting out a bad team when you only scored 13 points yourself

Why'd you call a timeout then?

Can you tell that Jimbo has won 2 of the last 3 LSU games? I guess the rivalry is back on.

A win is absolutely a win, and the aggies earned it making the plays and avoiding the mistakes where LSU didn’t.

I’m just pointing out that it was nothing like 50-7 where it was obvious after 10min that there was nothing one team could do to win. This last game turned on two key plays - the bobbled end zone catch and pick6.

Doesn’t make the win count any less or take away from the fact that y’all were a better team this year, but it wasn’t nearly as dominant as our last win.

Well that team was your best team ever, and I was a huge fan of it for the record.

Let LSU score? Be real. After that arse kicking in '19 jimbo would have given his left nut for a SHUTOUT. That's why his defensive starters were still in the game at that point.

I don’t think, in nearly a decade on this board, i’ve seen a fanbase talk so much shite and be so hype about non-conference winning, non-division winning season as much as Aggie fans now.
