re: If UTx loses to UGA & A&M…

Yeah, but every year someone has the weakest schedule in the SEC.

Last year it was Texas.


And the irony is not lost that last year A&M was using the same arguments against Texas that folks are using this year against them.

And they are using the same logic that Texas used last year (that they deemed illogical) about their schedule.

It would be more hilarious if it didn't mean they were doing so well.

My TexasEx’s buddies all say this, not Aggies


I've said it a lot myself. But come on, the first 6 weeks of this season had a new Arch Manning is burning thread every 5 minutes.
For sure the ultimate comparison is going to be at the end of the year. A&M has clearly had the better season and better QB play up to this point in the season.

The fact that you people are so knee-jerk defensive as to miss the forest from the trees on a consistent basis is puzzling to me. How do you people keep a job where you have to communicate and work with other people?

In short, Reed is a better passer than Manning, a better runner than Manning, and has exceeded all expectations.


Look, nobody is denying this.

However, if you are going to say Reed is good, average or acceptable as a starting QB in the SEC you cannot then in the next breath say Manning is the worst QB in the league and is trash and the book on him is written. That's the point I'm making with comparing statistics.

The fact that Reed is good and lead A&M to where it is this year is what I'm benchmarking Manning against. I'm not trying to make a case that Reed isn't good or his stats are trash.
Reed - 69 rushes, 378 yards, 6 TD's

Manning - 69, 203 yards, 6 TD's

Overall A&M has over 1800 yards rushing to Texas' 1218.

Reed's 378 accounts for ~20% of Aggy's rush offense

Mannings 203 accounts for ~17% of Longhorns rush offense
Marge has already posted once and refrained which is quite remarkable for her standards.
For all the crap Aggies have given Manning for sucking, it's interesting to see how similiar our two QB's are statistically. And this is with Texas having a horrible O-line that did no favors:

QB A:

168 / 268 for 62.7% completion. 2,123 yards averaging 7.9 yards a pass 18 TD's and 6 picks.

QB B:

157 / 252 for 62.3% completion, 2,193 yards averaging 8.7 yards a pass, 19 TD's and 6 picks.

I guess they both must suck? Or they both are having decent years?

And there is the issue. Texas has to show up with their A game to beat anyone. Georgia can have it all go wrong and leave you scratching your head as to how you lost at the end.


You might be right and the point is moot. I just don't believe it (yet). Maybe I'm biased or maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic.

Leave it to an Okie to completely miss the joke.

We’ve started off well this season (top ten road win, winning in Death Valley), but Texas is going to be just as hungry as we will and they’re getting better offensively week by week. Should be a good one.


Exactly and thank you for the serious response.

I'm honestly not trying to troll here because I know we've looked like buttcheeks for 80% of the season. But hope springs eternal, rivalries bring out the best in these boys, and "peaking at the right time" is a real thing in sports.

A 9-3 Texas with a loss to tOSU & either A&M/UGA and with a win over A&M/UGA, Vandy & OU (as long as they keep winning) will make for a very interesting last turn and final stretch to the finish.

Could be. There is a greater than 50% you are correct.

But you never know. Texas A&M needs to exorcise some demons and that often has a way of inhibiting players.

If you can read, I'm clearly not saying "Texas is Back!". I'm saying that on any given Saturday, this Texas team can show up and beat either Georgia or A&M, from what we can tell and have seen thus far.

And Aggy & Georgia know it and it's a source of uneasiness and anxiety.

Note: Aggy doesn't understand metaphor.

I think logic dictates it will be that we beat A&M but my gut says Sark gets off the schnide with Georgia.

Both teams have looked suspect and haven't really beaten anyone that on a sunny day Texas couldn't beat.

Which isn't to say we can't show up on a bad day and get beat by 3 scores by either team too, as we've seen Texas is quite capable of playing very poorly.

It's just hard to judge in either direction which is both why I used the word "wildcard" earlier and maintain that both Georgia and A&M are right to be nervous and worried about the matchup until proven otherwise during the game.

Say what you want about Texas this year (and Lord knows I’ve said the worst), but the Longhorns are not going to lose to both the Bulldogs and the Aggies.

And I think they know it too.

It’s like Saw 25 — they know they are playing a game where one is going to lose to this wildcard team of highly talented weirdos.

Which one will be the victim?
lol you wish too :booboo:

Another example of how Ole Miss is closer to a blue blood than A&M and LSU will ever be.

Elites had our schools established before a government DEI mandate.
