nickel defense had not been invented
Do what?
You do know that the nickel was invented in the early 60s right? Specifically because of this new fangled thing of actually throwing to a tight end and letting him catch the ball.
Does the name Mike Ditka ring any bells?

There was an Aggie fan yesterday say the umps were good in the game and fair to both teams. now we are getting it handed to us according to a bored alter loser.
You serious?
Ump today had a tiny strike zone, but he was mostly consistent. What could anyone be upset about in todays game? Maybe the ejection I guess.
Seriously though, I have seen a ton of bad SEC officiating and I didn't see any today. Only saw a team that just couldn't get a clutch hit when they had 2 men on base. Seemed like every other inning too. Ugh.

TexAgs was very confident of an Aggy series win this weekend. Schloss is overrated
Schloss is a fantastic baseball coach. He is also a colossal douchebag as a human. :-)
GG Texas.

7. Texas A&M- 5 CWS appearances, 30 NCAA tournament appearances, 19 conference titles
It seems like the Aggies inability to win big games carries over to other sports. Texas A&M only has a 2-10 record in the CWS.
You need to fact check yourself. I don't think you can lose in the finals without winning more than 2 games.

Not going to be surprised if Aggies takes the series. Would love for them to sweep
Just need 1 to stay on schedule. Happy with 2, but not bummed if it doesn't happen.
re: Why don’t ATM and the Whorns have women’s gymnastics?
Posted by cjohn on 4/22/25 at 6:06 am
Both schools have both men's and women's gymnastics. However, they both compete at the club level.
Wish they would promote the women's team to a full NCAA program.

Wow I didn't have a Buckeye flexing the pimphand on Aggy on the bingo card.
Ags will need to sweep to take us outta first place ;-)
Yeah, I didn't see the flex coming. Anything after getting 1 game is gravy. Just need the one to stay on track for a regional.

It is 8-4 just about every damned year.

Baum has not been a good place for A&M baseball teams. 1 win tomorrow would be huge
Getting a win was a requirement. Now we are playing with house money. cannot get swept the rest of the way. Need to win 2 of the series against Arkie, LSU, Texas and Georgia. And most importantly, not have a bad weekend against Mizzou.
Pretty tall order, but not insurmountable. We do the above, and we will disappoint some poor school who draws us in their regional.

There will never be another homer pair like Dave South and Dave Elmendorf.
Dave South had a great voice but could be brutal...
Sometimes in football games trying to listen, you would think the qb threw the ball down the field 20 yds for an incompletion, only to find out that "caught - dropped" was our QB getting sacked for a loss of 13.

You don't want to listen to our guys. Hell, I don't like listening to them most of the time.
re: Don’t blame the NCAA for NIL
Posted by cjohn on 4/15/25 at 6:14 am
NIL is not the real problem here.
NIL will eventually play itself out and calm down and the crazy numbers will eventually die down because there simply is not a ROI with it. The bad side is yes, it will slant the playing field because the bigger name schools will have more NIL money than the smaller schools. The horse is out of the barn on that one. I don't think that can be fixed at this point.
The real problem is the unlimited portal. That is doing real damage to college football as it is starting to turn fans away. Something reasonable needs to be done there. Maybe something like 1 free transfer and also only having one transfer window per year. Second transfer means you should sit a year. I dunno. But something must be done there.

An all high school freshman team would beat UCONN women by 50.
Not sure a team of freshmen would but any decent high school varsity team would. In women's track, nearly all their records align with records for boys aged 14 and 15.

Because managers grew out of a storied history of player/coaches.
The rules have not changed. They still are eligible to put themselves in the lineup. Can't be a total surprise though. They would have to be declared on the roster for some time period before.
Pete Rose was the last full time player/manager that I recall. But I do know one of the Yankees served in that role for a game in recent history (last 5-6 years) because Boone was out for something medical for a game.

While teams can be playing all types of sports. They only count a certain number for each team. I guess when you think about playing the odds then that would probably be better for you but you can still only count so many sports
It would be more accurate to calculate the points per sport. In the current setup, they only count 20 sports, so if you have 25 sports, the bottom 5 don't even count while if you have 18, all 18 are counting - even the ones that have bad years, giving an advantage to schools who participate in more than 20 sports.

Agreed!
Growing up in a small South Texas town, I hunted and fished. I wore various ball caps, which was fine and accepted.
Our strict unwritten dress code there, and back then, was that to wear an actual cowboy hat, you had to actually have a family ranch and actually work cattle, or do rodeo, or both. To not follow this dress code would be to subject yourself to endless ridicule...
Funny, I grew up on farms and ranches and never (and still dont) wear boots or a cowboy hat.
