Yes, with all the mostly good hearted banter between Texas and A&M fans, it’s probably best to focus on the memories of how Texas embraced TAMU in the aftermath of the bonfire disaster. And, on that note, if you have a chance to visit the A&M campus, please take in the Bonfire Memorial that recognizes the 12 (ironic) students who were lost that tragic day. Very moving.

Having watched the A&M-Mizzou game, an upset will only be possible if Zollers has improved substantially. Missouri will not be able to run on OU like they did against MS State.

This is reminiscent of Ohio State’s fans reacting a couple years ago to Ryan Day not being able to beat Michigan. But, some of the other concerns about Sark not doing justice to the portal in the off season and his defensive press conference comments are more concerning. Not sure what to make of the innuendo from others concerning his personal life. As an objective Aggie fan ??, I honestly do think that forcing Sark out with so many coaching positions open would be a mistake. Maybe, my memories of the Charlie Strong and Tom Herman years are still too fresh. And, it could well be that the rails have already been greased for a new hire. We shall see!
Well written post with a logical question. To be fair, I think most would agree that A&M has to be pretty darn good to go 10-0 even with an admittedly weak SEC schedule. But, we don’t know whether they are a national championship caliber team. The same could be said about most teams, including Indiana and a host of others. Remember that Ohio State only beat Texas 14-7 to start the season. Of course, that’s the beauty of the playoff system, which will allow a champion to be determined on the field.
Thanks for the response. To round out my comment, I was also at A&M for the 2013 season and beyond. Manziel’s performance against Duke in the 2014 Peach Bowl was even more impressive. His ability to rally A&M from that halftime deficit was reminiscent of Reed’s leadership at the South Carolina game this past Saturday. In addition, I had one telling interaction with Johnny at Northgate. He was very respectful in talking with my group and deflected praise for the Duke game to his teammates. Picking up on your point, I agree that Manziel is still growing as an individual and expect him to increasingly play a positive role for TAMU in the future. There will never be another JFF!
I was on the TAMU faculty during the 2012 season. Went to many of the games home and away including the Cotton Bowl. Have never seen a more electrifying player than JFF. Will leave comparisons to this season and Marcel Reed until after everything has played out. But I will say that Marcel is very impressive, perhaps even more personally than as a football player. He is destined to be an outstanding representative for TAMU well beyond his playing career.
