Every A&M game has been relegated to the SEC or SEC+ (whatever that is! lol) network. Therefore A&M has been not as "large" in the national media eyes. Good. Let's stay the underdogs. Don't rank us.

My question now is: does this style translate well to post season success? I think it does.
This team would be even better with that C we lost to injury before he could even contribute.
But I wouldn't be surprised if Bucky gets more juniors and seniors and grad transfers next year. Any guy that can shoot the ball from 3 and handle the ball, plus play pressure defense. So... Blue Collar, not necessarily Blue Chip.

I don't get this talk about this team being dregs of recruiting.
Almost all of them are 4 or 5 year experience players. The game experience goes a long way especially versus younger guys even if the younger opponents are more "talented" or were star recruits.
This team also has multiple shooters and ball handlers. Buzz's teams had higher rated recruits but most of his teams struggled to shoot the 3s as well as defend the 3s.
Lastly, because these are blue collar players with experience, they play within the roll given to them and therefore play as a team. I don't know if Bucky will get that with 18-year old 4- and 5-star players next season, if those talent even want to play this style of basketball.
I'm enjoying the product, and glad that they're outperforming all expectations. Everything else is gravy.

Who is on the voting committee? Big 4 conference connections? Why would they purposely vote ND in top 12?

Feel like we are out playing Texas by quote a bit but only a one point game. Three ball keeping Texas in it
Georgia needs to go for the jugguler rather than making Texas look decent. You let them hang around and they'll probably pull a W on ya

Can we get Bucky to coach up the Aggie women's basketball too? Joni Taylor should refund her coaching salary.

Yes, the BAS is strong in me having graduated in 2002.

We've played the bottom third of SEC teams. Let's face ranked teams and see how that goes. We should have won that Tennessee game last week but didn't. Tonight's 20 point win is rare, all other SEC wins have been by combined 16 points.
All in all, glad to see Ags winning but let's see the whole season play out.

The original "Friendo".
"Tejas" is the Spanish spelling and phonetic origin of the name Texas
, derived from the Caddo Indian word taysha meaning "friend" or "ally". Spanish explorers in the 17th century used this term to describe the Hasinai Confederacy and later referred to the region as provincia de los Tejas.
Key Aspects of Tejas/Texas:
Origin: The name stems from the Hasinai (Caddo) word for "allies" or "friends," which Spanish explorers interpreted as Tejas.
Spanish Colonial Era: During the 18th century, the region was known as the provincia de los Tejas or Nuevas Filipinas.
Mission Tejas State Park: Located in Houston County, this park commemorates the location of the first Spanish mission in East Texas, Mission San Francisco de los Tejas, established in 1690.
Republic of Texas: Known in Spanish as República de Tejas, it was a sovereign nation from 1836 to 1846.
The term is frequently used today in business names, locations, and to reference the historical Spanish and Indigenous roots of the state.

Is Canned turkey going to open a can of whoop-arse on Tejas today?
is Tejaz going to play out of its mind and pull out a W on the road again?
Ags should have an assured W but Miss St plays tougher than its record indicates. Hopefully Ags take advantage of the weaker early schedule and collect the Dubs while they can.

Might be real this year… they have been cleaning TF up in the portal. Now if they could only find a quarterback….
Their trajectory seems right though. Even Arc (trump calls Arch as Arc so :lol:) can learn to throw a decent ball especially now with a stronger OL to play behind.
They are stacking the talent. Do the players and the coaches have what it takes between the ears, that mental toughness, to win the big prize? They underachieve and then point to how my Ags underachieve even more and they find consolation in it.

Not like he didn't get the guys he wanted and getting him to play the type of ball he wants played.
Only piece missing is the C who is injured and out for the season. That could happen in the run up to any season or during the season.
Aggie schedule has been mostly kind as well until now.
Not sure he will get a whole lot better. Most players don't seem to hang around multiple years anymore if they're good. So he will just have to get new players almost every year.

Well, the Aggies playing well. I'd still prefer them to grab defensive rebounds and don't allow as many seconds chances.
What are some good Big D sports bars nowadays? When I lived there in 2000s, Ozona (Ozuna?) near 75 and Lovers Lane (Village Apartments area) used to be a happening spot. And Fox and Hound, although I think that chain all shuttered last year, everywhere.
Let's see how competitive (or not!) this Aggie team really is. Got lucky with 3 close wins. Win against a ranked SEC team on the road should start to get people talking. A blowout loss likely brings Ags fans back to reality.
Aggie team lacking true Center/rim defender in the lineup. They run and gun and make plenty of 3s but often look discombobulated and give up far too many offensive boards and second chance points. Still, the fact that they score in a hurry means it's been a fun run thus far compared to any grind out teams of Buzz.

So... Uga getting gentrified. :lol:

they got septic tank out of the portal...that's good, I think! :lol:
I don't know; haven't seen them play much this season-- I like that they score a ton but don't like that they don't seem to defend opponent scoring all that well. Also, 100+ against inferior competition but far from it with peer competition.
Ags are a work in progress, Auburn has nothing to fear.
