This Aggie baseball team is getting better as the season progresses. What a refreshing change.


Looking forward to the upcoming series

:cheers: Sorry…that was just too tempting :cheers:

Either Texas' because we can all make fun of them for losing to the only good team they played (twice, one of which was at home after getting ref help) or everyone else's because Texas can brag for eternity that they won the SEC in their very first season.

I bigly hope it's the former.



This hurts my heart to see a fellow Longhorns fan say something like this :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm glad PapaDunk, and therefore I, did not participate in this bet.


Morning my friend…. You are a man of your word. Good on you.

You think they are actually going to allow us to score any points!?!?!?

That’s totally unrealistic and you need to stop being such a homer.
Try adding some more curse words in there, makes you look more grown up.


Oh…so scary… :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
Oh I watched it… and saw a Georgia defense that struggled against the run….

Trust me, we saw it.

But I’m sure your right, Georgia has ZERO to worry about.

That experience matters....a lot. It's why Saban's Bama teams consistently whooped us.


….so this 2024 Georgia team is like a Saban era team? 8 overtime against GT….

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
Both teams are different teams that met almost 2 months ago.

We will see but this is the rematch I was hoping for.

Upper Deck West side and it gets really quiet up there at times.


Hadn’t been to a home game in a few years but the biggest issue I had with it then was the piped in PA system. All the “commercials”, the overly loud piped in music would actually kill the crowd excited at times.
Thanks for the info for traveling Horns fans.

Ugh…God I hated that. It felt manufactured every damn time because the media hype never matched the eye test.

all of my buddies who went to Big 10 schools have been convinced A&M will join Big 10 in the next 5-10 years. Trev is in pretty tight with the higher ups in the conference.


Well that would be unfortunate for the Aggies then. A third conference but the same mentality will only destroy that program.
I don’t think jumping conferences again is the solution. I see it as a cultural issue within the program itself.

They have money, not an issue. They can recruit pretty well, not the issue. They seem to always be want a short cut to success and not do the hard work of building a program from the ground up.

Texas fell into this trap with the previous 2 head coaches, we tried to buy the “Hot” coach at the time and ended up with a decade of no identity and mediocrity.
Can’t really argue your point, he gives me anxiety attacks coming out of half time every game now.

Texas would be in the same shape as OU if your schedules were reversed.


Nah…OU has been destroyed by injuries this year as well as losing their starting QB from last year.

Recruiting and TV viewership are two reasons I can think of. High profile games get a lot of attention and a lot of eyes on your program.
