Nothing wrong with BBQ sauce but if the BBQ is dependent on being covered in sauce it's not elite BBQ. Elite BBQ has to be able to stand on it's own and then add the sauce if you want.

A&M literally has a class on BBQ that is the most popular on campus. They also have a class for non students that people come to (and is also extremely popular) taught by Animal Science Profs and has guests that are BBQ experts. We take this shite seriously.

Texans smoke the meat and after it is done, they mop sauce on the meat. Barbque is cooking meat over a hot fire with sauce on it while cooking. I lived in Texas for 11 years and learned the smoke vs barbque st
If you saw someone smoking meat and putting sauce on it while smoking it then they don't know what they are doing. Proper bbq doesn't require any sauce at all. You can add it if you want but the meat must stand alone and be incredible.

My Mom is from Lake City and her entire side of the family is from South Carolina. I used to have a BBQ catering business specializing in Pulled Pork though I did everything. Lots of good BBQ in South Carolina. Unfortunately you still have not discovered that while pork is great, beef will always be better if properly cooked. Nothing in the BBQ world compares with a properly smoked brisket. Period. A brisket is also much harder to do properly vs pork butt or ribs.
re: A&M Will Beat SCAR by 10+ points

I would be shocked if we don't start Reed, really floored.
If A&M just plays smart football and pounds the rock without turning it over and playing clean ST I see it as about a 10 point win, something like 28-17. I just don't think SC can stop us from driving down the field with a 50 lb per man advantage on the OL vs their DL and I don't think USC is going to have much luck scoring unless we turn the ball over and give them short fields. A&M will take away the run completely from USC and force them to throw, especially if A&M gets up on them. That means lots of long down and distance plays and that's not where you want to be against this team and their DL. Most important thing for USC is they have to find a way to stop A&M from successfully running the ball, a couple 10 play TD drives with 8 of those plays being runs and it's good night. A&M is an incredibly physical team, they just like to beat the crap out of you. USC is more of an athletic D that's smaller and fast, that will wear out if left on the field and forced to hold up against getting hit in the mouth over and over.
A&M tries to win throwing the ball and sitting in the pocket and they are in trouble. They turn the ball over and they are in trouble. They play lazy ST they are in trouble. They don't play disciplined D and they are in trouble. I just don't see any of that as likely.

It's just the folks that run that school are evil and they don't play by rules that folks outside of A&M, OU, and Arkansas understand. Credit to you for not lumping all of us together. I went there to get a good education. No one in leadership calls for my opinion when they are deciding to make “evil” decisions. Most of us here are fans that love our school and support them. So all the talk about Tx fans are evil and hate you and think you’re rednecks and so on… guess that comes with the territory, but I wanted to acknowledge you for not lumping all of us Tx fans together. Carry on with the hatred. Either way, I love this conference and have really been enjoying the football season so far.
No question there are some fantastic people who graduated from Texas. One of the best humans I know is a die hard season ticket holder tsip and we are going to the game on Nov 30 together. We smack talk at a level that makes tRant look tame on Saturdays but he's like a brother to me. He's a physician and has done some incredible and selfless things to help my family and is a recommender for my son's college applications. My son was recently accepted at both A&M and Texas btw and while it would pain me to no end I did encourage him to visit and take an objective look. It's a fantastic academic institution and world class in many areas.
I also know many tsips that feel like they don't recognize the school they went to and are sending their kids to A&M with all the uber Woke crap there.
Still I will never, ever underestimate the leadership of that school and what they will do to be the destroyer of worlds. :angry:

Another victim of Beaten Aggie Syndrome. You still think th' Bahr loved you, don't you? Despite the epic probation you got when he jilted you for a school that controlled its conference office and could get away with anything.
Nope, when A&M made the SEC move it destroyed their power over us. They did everything they could to stop us and they lost badly. Since then Texas doesn't try to bully A&M, they hate us and compete with us but they understand we have very real power and resources and it's much smarter to cut a deal with us than to fight us. A&M is the only school that can actually hurt Texas where it counts, Texas politics.
We will never underestimate them and their power though and you can laugh all you want but it only shows you have no idea who you are dealing with. Eventually you will learn though. It's almost comical the way some of you think Bama is some big bad evil force, they are nothing compared to Texas because they don't have a fraction of the power on multiple fronts like Texas does. Most of you folks only know the SEC and think the world operates that way, others have been in 3 different conferences with Texas.
re: Josh Pate picks USC to upset A&M
Posted by aggressor on 10/31/24 at 11:58 am
Good. The best chance for USC is for A&M to have a letdown and not take this game seriously. I don't see any way that happens at this point. Elko celebrated for about 5 minutes after LSU but immediately hammered his players in the locker room that they need to get their shite together and work their arse off this week if they expect to go from 5-0 to 6-0. The media has a lot of folks picking USC. So I don't see A&M coming out flat and thinking they can just roll into Columbia and get a W.
USC is very capable of winning but I don't see it without TO's and ST play combined with a flat A&M team. A&M is bigger and more talented than USC so if it is a straight up game with minimal errors that heavily favors them. I think A&M just runs it 80 percent and takes the strength of USC's D (those athletic rush Ends) out of the game and just uses the 50lb per man advantage on the Line and pounds the rock. I don't think USC has enough offense to get into a scoring fest either.
Night games in crazy environments though are always hard to predict, USC is going to be ready to play and fired up. Should be fun.

They whine, make stupid arguments, and are literally out of touch with reality on a consistent basis. While behaving this way, they constantly maneuver to give their team advantages over others while destroying athletic conferences. A leopard doesn't change its spots. Please see Big 8, SWC, Big 12, and I hope not the SEC. So what you're saying here is that Texas is just like Alabama, except with academics? I guess I can stand that. And before any ut (that would be the prison jumpsuit orange variety, not the real UT) fans chime in, it was one of your greatest coaches who first said "If you've got 3rd and 1 at Legion Field, you'd better get 3"
Oh no, Texas is much, much worse than Bama. Bama actually loves the SEC and knows they have limits to how far they can go. Not Texas. Texas wants to use the SEC and then discard it. They don't bother working with the SEC office, they just use their connections with ESPN to control the SEC. They look down on all of you as uneducated Rednecks that are a novelty. They will pretend to play along a bit but make no mistake, they don't see any of you as equals nor do they see any reason why they should be judged by the same rules as everyone else. They are Texas. They are the Joneses. You are all a joke to them. They are a complete culture clash with the SEC and always will be and they have more money and resources than you can fathom.
Not all the fans are bad btw, especially many of those that actually graduated from Texas. Some are among my best friends and are amazing people. It's just the folks that run that school are evil and they don't play by rules that folks outside of A&M, OU, and Arkansas understand. Oh, and if you think they will "get in line" or play along you are a naive fool. That is simply not how they operate. Enjoy these last few years of the SEC because they will destroy it or at least how you knew it to be. We are going to be rolled into some version of the NFC/AFC Semipro Conference, it's just a matter of when it happens.

Certainly some good points. However A&M's offense most closely resembles Ole Miss of the teams you have played and there is a reason we have won 4 or 5 SEC games by double digits.
That reason is turnover margin.
Against major conference teams, there is only one game A&M has been in the negative in turnover margin. That was their loss against ND.
SC has been in the minus in turnover margin in all their losses and some of their wins.
That's not a knock. While turnovers have a luck component, it's also about preparation. A&M is a better team than SC when it comes to turnovers.
SC will be better at special teams. A&M will likely do better in the turnover game.
But if you were to promise me that SC would be EVEN in turnovers in the upcoming game, I might very well pick SC to win. SC would have likely beaten both Alabama and LSU if they had been even in turnovers instead of in the negative.
**edit** also, I don't think A&M resembles Ole Miss at all.
Reed has yet to turn the ball over this year. Hopefully that's not a jinx but he is very responsible with the football and since A&M runs heavily with him in the game that reduces the chances of TO's. USC likes to make plays with those DE's crashing on the QB and unless A&M gets behind that isn't likely a look they see very much.
The Ole Miss comparison was more about how they like to run the football if they can. They ran it 41 times against you for 3 TD's (though only 140 yards). A&M's O with Reed is probably more like UT in terms of an athletic QB who likes to run. The stats for A&M's offense are hard to gauge because it so different depending on who is the QB so the overall stats for the season are less impressive but our preference is always to run it down your throat. I just think that 50lb per man weight difference could cause some real problems for you.

quote: &M is the best running team USC will have played Are you sure that just isn't a product of facing the 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th best defenses in the SEC? The best offense SC has faced all year was Ole Miss. While we lost that game, SC held them below their season averages in every statical category that matters. SC had two turnovers on their side of the field early in the game and never recovered. The same can be said for the defense vs Alabama as well as they held them below their season average in every offensive category. In fact, SC has held every SEC they've faced below their season average in total yards (and passing yards). The only team to exceed their average yardage against SC was LSU in their rushing yards (which they exceeded by 15 yards with 132 yards rushing for the game. They've held 4 teams to under 100 yards rushing (including two SEC opponents (Kentucky 46 yards, Okie 53 yards). The most yards any team has amassed against SC on the ground this year was Ole Miss with 140.
Certainly some good points. However A&M's offense most closely resembles Ole Miss of the teams you have played and there is a reason we have won 4 or 5 SEC games by double digits. We will be the most physical team you have played so far. We do have a problem giving up some big plays but this team likes to beat teams up. I was honestly surprised at the size difference on the lines when I saw them. A&M goes 290, 300, 310, 280 on the DL to average 295 and all of those guys can move. The USC OL averages 312. South Carolina goes 254, 288, 303, 248 to average 273. Lots of speed and athleticism but not power. The A&M OL averages 324. That means USC is going to have to stack the hell out of the box to have a chance of stopping the A&M run game and Reed is very capable of doing play action, hitting screens, or throwing a slant in what will be a lot of 1v1s with no help.
Like I said, USC can certainly win but those are significant disadvantages to start out with. It's going to take turnovers and ST imo for USC to win.

A&M is 2-1 against Shane Beamer. You got the bulk of those wins against Will Muschamp and Steve Spurrier who had given up at the end of 2014.
K. Well your only win was against that disaster 2022 team when you had this play and a turnover and you were up 17-0 in the first 6 minutes and had to hang on to win 30-24. I will say if A&M comes out and decides not to tackle on ST and also decides to turn the ball over repeatedly you will also likely win. That's just not very likely to happen.
