Aggies @ Jayhawks

[kepdawg]

On FSN right now

[Adidas410s]

McGee's throws just don't look very solid. Now he just got lucky the guy dropped the INT as McGee hits the defender in the numbers that is about 3 yards from him. They are running play action almost every play. 3rd and 1....timeout

[kepdawg]

Yeah that was pretty stupid when he decided to throw the ball to the defender 3 yards away.

[jason]

caught the aggies sleeping - fake punt - 1st and goal

[Adidas410s]

Kansas with a fake punt at their own 40 and the upback runs down to the A&M 10 yard line.

[Adidas410s]

9 yd TD pass...touchdown Kansas

Kansas 7
A&M 0

9:14 left in 1st quarter

[Adidas410s]

nice...A&M called for a personal foul after the play...back inside their own 10 now.

[texasjeremy]

So, will this be Frans last year, or will it depend on their game against OSU in the "Stay out of the Cellar" game in the Big 12 south.

[AggieJohn]

no it won't be his last year, unfortunately......


however, if A&M can beat Nebraska or OU at Kyle this year, they will most likely be 9-3 this year....

Thats a big IF, islanderjohn. Thats about like Baylor saying, "if we can win in Austin this week, we will be 3-0 and all alone in 1st place in the Big 12 South."

A&M sucks, but it's not like Nebraska's any better. They've been getting a lot of pub this year, but if you've paid attention they've been just as bad as the Aggies.

AKA "suckage."

Kinda like Notre Dame during the Willingham tenure, Florida during the Zook years, and Nebraska during the Callahan era. They were an average team with above-average talent.

[g$$]

The Big 12 is down, but I still say Fran has to win 8 games minimum, including a signature win. Big 3 in November will tell the tale. Don't forget about Baylor in Waco too. Guy Morris hates Fran & will have the Bears ready, as he has the past 2 years when we lost there & won in OT @ Kyle.

We barely beat Kansas in football (not basketball). Let's hold our horses here. It took a final drive to do it, but give the guys credit for pulling out the win. Mizzou will be a very good barometer. The jury is still out on Fran & the season.

Always the homer. He couldn't do it and you know it. Take off the maroon glasses and see the weight. Every time he heads to the sidelines he has to sit out 4 or 5 plays. During the Tech game, they had to stop using him late in the game until they got inside the 20 because he would be exhausted it had been on the field earlier in the drive. Don't try and compare him to Jarome Bettis either. Bettis was getting exhausted in his mid-30's...Lane is getting exhausted at age 19.

[g$$]

Agreed, esp. when you consider the non-conference schedule. Fran needs a signature win to keep his job. His program has to show that it can play with the big boys. 8-4 minimum & show big improvement down the stretch. Highly unlikely.

Comparison has been made on downlow several times between Fran and Mackovic at UT. Mackovic would be on hot seat every year, but always seemed to get one of those signature wins annually and he'd keep his job.
So far Fran hasn't done that, and if he doesn't this year, the maroon alumni will want to sharpen the guillotine although school may not use it yet.

[Bulldog_12]

Man, im so glad the Ags can just pack it up and not even worry about playing the rest of the "good" teams. They wont win them anyways so why even try? I mean, when does a lower caliber team EVER beat a "better" team? Oh wait, that was this last weekend, i.e. Ark, NCstate, Ulala.

A&M has the talent to steal a few games, so as far as I am concerned, 9 wins is not out of the question.

Also, NU= Overhyped.

10/14 #19 Missouri...30% chance
10/21 at Oklahoma St...90% chance
10/28 at Baylor...75% chance
11/04 #23 Oklahoma...25% chance
11/11 #21 Nebraska...40% chance
11/24 at #6 Texas...10% chance

Those are the % of the time that I think A&M would win each game. All in all, it adds up to 2.7 wins on average IMO. That puts them somewhere between 7-5 (winning the 2 games they would be favored in) and 8-4 (stealing one of the games they probably shouldn't win).

Why do you say that Nebraska is overhyped??? They played a decent but unimpressive game against USC. It was very similar to Texas vs Ohio State. Nebraska played it "too safe" and didn't really take many chances against an average USC defense...thus not giving themselves a chance to win the game but also preventing a blowout.

They really looked bad against Iowa St. I dont buy that this team can actually even think about challenging for the Big XII. I also think that USC is one of the biggest Overhyped teams this year too, so I dont see that as a "good" loss. I dont think that game was ANYTHING similar to OSU and texas. Everybody expected for both of those teams to be shaky and it would be a test game for both. OSU/texas looked like it would be a battle of Juggernauts and have serious results in the BCS race. I think so far we have seen that neither USC nor Nebraska are really that good.

[vet93]

Lane is overweight for his position. Because he is a great talent he can overcome alot, but for him to be more than a short yardage specialist...he needs to trim down 30 pounds so that he has the stamina to play a full game. If he lost that amount of weight he would still be a load to tackle but with even more speed, agility and stamina...just my .02 cents.

I am NOT impressed with Nebraska either. Nowhere near the old Big Red days. They are beatable for sure.

8-4 is a possibility, but 9-3 is a stretch. Fran is coaching for his job the final 6 games. See what happens.

so ur saying nu isnt overhyped when they needed overtime to beat kansas at home when the ags played the same team in lawrence but then you say the ags arent good makes no since.... ill take nu overhyped and overrated

You can't compare one game to another. They are two totally different games...with so many differing variables that you simply can't compare games that way. Based on your theory we could say, "well Baylor lost to Wash State by 2 and Wash State lost to USC by 6 so it's reasonable to assume that Baylor would be able to stay within 10 points of USC if the game was played at a neutral location."

Read again...I never said the Ags weren't any good nor did I say that Nebraska isn't overrated. I gave Nebraska a 60/40 over A&M. I think most (if not all) non-A&M homers would have the odds somewhere between 55/45 and 70/30 in Nebraska's favor.

You can't say "well the 12th Man is a factor" when the Ags are 7-6 in Big 12 home games under Fran. Also, anybody that has been to Kyle knows that the 12th Man isn't near as loud and imposing as it once was. Even compared to 2 years ago, it has dropped off a lot.

I'D HAVE TO DISAGREE. THE GAMES STILL SELL-OUT AND THE 12 MAN STILL BRINGS IT EVERY HOME GAME

How do you define Sell-Out? We have only sold out three games in the past two years. ISU, Tech, and Texas. I still think the 12th man CAN be a factor, but we hardly sell out.

[Adidas410s]

Originally posted by Bull19

Trust me. In the past 3 years I have been to the following games:

2004 - Oklahoma 35 Texas A&M 28
2005 - Texas 40 Texas A&M 29
2006 - Texas Tech 31 Texas A&M 27

In 2004...that was as loud as I have ever heard Kyle Field. It wasn't one of their biggest crowds either (#16 @ 81,125). That crowd was so loud that when Jason White had to call a timeout before a 3rd down play because nobody on the field could hear his audible call when he was right next to them trying to yell it to them. Then, when Stoops tried to talk to the players in the huddle during the timeout, they still couldn't hear him so he grabbed a clipboard, wrote something on it, and held it up for all of them to read. I was sitting in the middle of the second deck student side and everybody in sight was standing on the bleachers, holding each other up, and jumping on the bleachers while yelling at the top of their lungs. This was going on all game. THAT was the 12th Man in action.

In 2005...there were a few moments in the 3rd and early in the 4th where the crowd got pretty loud but you never "felt the place shake" as I did in 2004.

In 2006...I'm sitting on 1st deck student side at about the 20 yard line and not one time did the noise get so loud that you couldn't talk to those next to you. It was a much bigger crowd (about 85,900) than the BlowU game but nowhere near the noise level for extended periods of time. You would hear spikes in the noise level on the obvious plays (touchdowns, big hits, etc) but it was NOT a consistent deterrent to the Tech offense.

At the beginning of the year I said Florida and Nebraska were the two most overrated teams in the country. Florida shut me up quick. Nebraska's done nothing but proved me right.

I've seen three games that the Huskers have played (USC, Kansas, Iowa State) and I'm completely convinced Nebraska is the single most overrated team in the college ranks. They've played it "too safe" every game they've played, and the offense is nothing like what everyone is cracking it up to be. It's anemic, save Zac Taylor.

Sure, they hung 39 on Kansas and 28 on Iowa State, but neither defense (well, Kansas' rush defense was great) really impressed me. The only decent defense they've played all year held them to 10... seven of which came in the fourth quarter. They were completely dominated in that game, only gained 211 yards of total offense, and only managed to stay in the game due to key stops by their defense (which isn't bad at all, but not a championship D by any stretch of the imagination).

Taylor's an alright QB, and Cody Glenn and Marlon Lucky aren't a bad duo in the backfield, but they got a lot of their yards against the 76th-ranked rush defense and a couple of regional schools. They didn't show up against the two tougher run defenses they played, but that tells me they're not being used properly.

Which brings us back to A&M. The Ags have more raw talent than the Huskers, but (as much as it pains me to say it) Fran's not the coach that Callahan is.... just don't take that the wrong way. There's a lot of room between Fran and the top.

I'd go as far to say that Nebraska only has a 50-50 chance at Kyle. Sure, they MAY be a little better than A&M, but if you really want to say they're better you're splitting hairs. If they are better, it's not by much and will be completely negated by the fact that they're playing at Kyle.

Bottom line: both teams suck this year. They're both average teams at best and Nebraska would get tore up from the floor up if they were playing in the fourth-best conference in the nation, the lowly PAC-10.

It's a good thing they play in the Big XII JV (North). They may actually finish second in their division and pull off a nine-win season. But KTJ hit the nail on the head when he was talking about A&M, and you can transfer that quote on over to Nebraska, too.
