View Full Version : Texas A&M Should have great year in football in 2007 with this schedule!

This is indeed a year the Aggies should win them all or at the most one loss and have a chance to get to the Big 12 Game. The schedule is ideal. Remember McGee is back and he is going to be a big NFL star in the future. And remember they have 7 home games this year. I will point out when they are visiting team in my analysis.

First they play Montana State who is not even in Division 1. A sure easy win for them. A good game for the Aggie spirit to get warmed up on.

Next is Fresno State. I know they gave USC a game two years ago but they are on hard times now having a 4 - 8 season that year plus the game is in College Station. The Aggies will be celebrating as they go 2 - 0.

Then Louisiana-Monroe who went 4 - 8 last year. Another big win for t he Aggies.

Miami in Florida. This should be tough but McGee and the Aggies can win because Miami will still be getting used to a new coach's system. Talk about good timing by the Aggies to play them early before they really get tough. Miami will be shell shocked after this game.

Then Baylor. A big rivalry which the Aggies will be able to pull out in the fourth quarter.

Oklhoma State. Another big win. The Aggies get this one at home and that is a key difference.

Texas Tech in Lubbock. The Aggies are still mad about the Alamo incident and will be motivated to win up there this time.

Nebraska in Lincoln, NB. This one is tough. But so is McGee. Get the general idea as the Aggies win?

Kansas. Another toughee but the game is in College Station and the Aggies roll along.

Oklahoma in Norman. Remember when the Aggies beat Oklahoma a few years ago in a big upset. Look for history to repeat itself. Remeber last year Texas beat Oklahoma and the Aggies beat Texas. This will be a game when the Aggies will be fired up as visitors just like they were in Austin last year.

Missouri in Columbus, MO. It is a shame it is another away game but the Aggies will be able to pull it off.

Texas at College Station. The Aggies beat UT in Austin last year. Well now this year it is in College Station. No more needs to be said.

Great Scheduling by the Aggies and they should have a top ten team easily and maybe be in a big BCS game perhaps even the NC game.

There was a columnist in the DMN who predicted today that the Aggies go 11-2 losing to Nebraska and Oklahoma, and going to the Cotton Bowl and defeating Georgia.

It's too bad that A&m is gonna lose to their two main rivals - Tech at the Jones and Texas at their place. And I dont wanna hear any BS about how Tech isn't their rival. They hate us, and we love it cuz they cant beat us....:p

I think Fran is acting a little TOO aloof. But I guess when you pocket $2 million regardless of the season's outcome, what's their to lose except the stress from being micromanaged another year.

The aggies will not lose to either Tech or Texas. The ones that worry me are Miami, Nebraska, and OU, all tough but all winable

You PERSONALLY may want A&M to consider Tech a rival, but the very fact that they rarely take them serioiusly enough to beat them regularly is more than enough proof that they don't care enough about them to play to their potential. When you play a rival, you NEVER play carelessly.

Good luck in validating your desire to have someone "fear" you enough to call you a rival.......... There's always North Texas

As for t.u., the fear factor is gone. His name was Vince, remember?

Is that why a&m is so bad? They only play to their full potential against rivals, rival being Texas? That does sound about right though.

You've lost 8 of the last 11 to Texas Tech and yet don't consider them a rival? Texas Tech is, what 4 wins away from TYING the all-time series record and you don't consider them a rival? A&M hasn't won in Lubbock since 1993, yet they still aren't a rival? You do realize that to win the Big 12 and make it to the NC game, you need to beat Texas Tech yet you don't consider them a rival?

Wow. Alright...if you say so. I seriously doubt that's how Mack, Big Game Bob, and Mike Gundy view Texas Tech but whatever floats your boat.

it wouldn't be much different...aggies had their times...

also Texas will beat A&M this year..for the reason i state

this year A&M will have a great year and be 10-1 or so when they play Texas and won't have to beat Texas to save their season...last year A&M had a decent but not great year and the win over Texas saved their season plus UT had just came off a heartbreaking loss to KState...beware both teams will be ready no doubt, but Texas will win...


also...A&M has ONE rival, Texas, they tell their students its "tu" the entire fight and school song involves JUST UT...Texas on the other hand has almost as big of a rivalry with OU and A&M and we do consider Tech rivals...

Gosh, you're right. Partying at the local Academy Sports and Outdoors beats Antone's and boating any day.

This has plenty of merit and you know it. 18-year-olds want to party away from mom and dad, and the camping gear department ain't gonna cut it.

Well, if you want to dig deep enough into the cobwebs and archives, I have a pretty good feeling you'll find some unnerving losses by t.u.

So your argument is that the school that you're a fan of can't get better recruits because it's a country town and not a big city?

Then how do schools like ND, Alabama, Oklahoma, Arkansas, West Virginia, etc get their recruits? It sure isn't because of their vast entertainment. I'd argue that College Station is bigger than Tuscaloosa, Norman, and Morgantown.

Does your argument have merit? Not really. Kids come to UT to play for a winner, to play for a chance to win a National Championship, to go to the NFL, and to succeed, learn, and graduated from a top tier university. 6th Street is just gravy on top of that.

Look, Fran sucks, OK? Sherrill would never have allowed it to happen, nor did Slocum. I look for Fran to lose his job unless Ags win at least nine games this year. People are tired of him, and the Baylor loss did us a favor. Plus, Baylor played at 110 percent that day and A&M had nothing to gain at that point.

I swear, you give Texas one title year in 36 tries and they're walking around pumping their chests like Tarzan. Admit it, Vince Young won the title. Look at what the dude did his first year in the NFL. Enough said. The guy was a mammoth and nobody could touch him in high school even. Every time, why is it when A&M wins a big game, the other team must have been stoned but when Texas wins, its because they're so untouchable.

It's called recruiting. Plain and simple. Fran sucks at recruiting. Since when is this news a bombshell?

the aggies lost a shot a shot at a BCS game that day....they were undefeated in conference going into the game and ranked 16 in the country after starting the year 6-1 by losing their first game to Utah...to say they had nothing to gain at the point is highly inaccurate, they were on track as many aggie fans told me (delusionaly but when are the aggies not delusional about their football program?) prior to the game to win the big 12 and maybe play for a national title....happily i saw those hopes dashed that night....

Maybe its time to get over your obsession with Aggie football (oh, excuse me - "the Corps") and accept that attending NT was like a parting gift on The Gong Show.

But thanks for keeping up so much with trivia about a school you obviously hate so much.

Can I hear a "Whoop?" :

A&M Named Top University by Washington Monthly Magazine

Texas A&M University comes in first in a list of top U.S. universities, as ranked by Washington Monthly magazine.

A&M outpaces all other universities in a list touted as an alternative to a similar compilation from U.S. News and World Report.

Texas A&M is followed by the University of California-Los Angeles, University of California-Berkeley, University of California-San Diego, and Penn State, respectively.

No other Texas universities are listed in the top 10. Only UT-Austin is listed in the 32 schools ranked by the publication.

In addition to A&M and UT, Iowa State was the only other Big 12 Conference school ranked.

Washington Monthly says its list is based on a university's contribution to public interest.

The magazine says that distinction sets its list apart from U.S. News and World Report and its list based on prestige.

When did it go from football to some magazine nobody has ever heard of ranking colleges on a category that they didn't even explain?

Every time, why is it when A&M wins a big game, the other team must have been stoned but when Texas wins, its because they're so untouchable.

It's called recruiting. Plain and simple. Fran sucks at recruiting. Since when is this news a bombshell?

Ok the last time I checked VY played for TEXAS, not Vince Young University, so indeed Texas deserves to brag about their NC, especially since they've won three titles in football since the Aggie's lone NC in '39. Oh and for the 'untouchable' part of texas well your fellow aggie said it perfectly, when you guys win it's only b/c your players give a damn, if you play in the BIG 12 you had better bring it every saturday, you guys are the epitome of aggies with excuses for EVERYTHING. I'm tired of the aggies' s#%*. be men, dont use excuses.

Maybe its time to get over your obsession with Aggie football (oh, excuse me - "the Corps") and accept that attending NT was like a parting gift on The Gong Show.

But thanks for keeping up so much with trivia about a school you obviously hate so much.

No I printed FACTS
this actually happened

I dont attend UNT
My money goes there for my daughter
I dont hate the Corps
I just post facts
please deal with that
If my post was wrong please correct it
as I asked in the post

The problem is dealing with the truth
the thread is about the Corps football
I post Corps football facts and you try to turn this into UNT?

Baylor hurt the Corps that day
and as you can read in the last 5 games
7-5 woulda been 8-4 maybe better if they had beat Baylor
ty for dealing with facts

then why, pray tell, do you go to so much trouble to google up, research and hire secret agents in order to post rhetorical information that has absolutely no bearing - nada, zilch, zero - about THIS SEASON!

I've never seen so much stuff posted about a school by someone who didn't even attend there. You obviously are no friend of McGee's, either.

You want to know why schools like Baylor and Tech play so hard against A&M? Because they know beating a reputable program means something.

Imitation, my friend, is a form of flattery.

1. I dont most of it is from memory and before you say I memorize the Corps football program, which i dont, I do remember many games. And last years 12-7 win vs TU has no bering ethier huh? but the Corps will say it a lot as posted above.

2. If you dont like what I post then post your own facts. And thats probably the point. Many just post what they think of what someone told them. I post facts. Which is hard to argue with. Then people get mad and turn it personal. My cousin went to A and M, many kids Ive coached have gone there, as well as many students and friends. Its not the university, its the blind eye the Corps turn to facts. yes the Corps beat Texas last year. Its kinda like you guys losing to Baylor. Beating the Corps is not a big of a deal for TU as the Corps beating TU. Thats why saying Tech is your rivial hacks you off.

3. In response to the Baylor and Tech question, they enjoy beating the Corps. its not the program its the Aggies which are 2 different things. Its the "mentality" of the Corps that turns people off. (Now post how I do the same).

Look here is how it is
the Corps is not a top program
Tech, the Corps are about the same Tech is probably better
But the envy you have for Texas is still funny
You would love to be at their level
you downplay a nation championship
and talk smack about it (VY, Mac cant win, ect)
I didnt see Reggie doing it?

Until you can beat tech, baylor, blow u, texas on a consistant basis the you are not a top, where you want to be program

the Corps seem to find a way to lose and screw themselves
that is not my, Texas, Tech's fault

Now post how bad Fran is
you hired him
Texas hired mackovic
get another coach then

as I posted before

Texas rivial is Blow U and the nation championship
Blow U rivial is texas and the national championship
Tech's rivial is texas and a higher bowl game
Baylors rivial is a bowl game and 6 wins
The Corps rivial Texas and a bowl win
OSU's rivial Blow U and a bowl game

there are different rivials here
just because you think of someone as your rivial
doesnt make it one
the rivialry is on your side not theirs

so if you desire me not to post facts
stop beating your chest like the Corps has done something
like Texas and Blow U have
and beat tech this year

Its kind like the thread on Celina's rivials
the state championship is their rivial
and thats about it

It is frightening that you are a coach and obviously coerce your players to hate a school.

You need psychotherapy for the way you deliberately say "The Corps". I thnk it's called ................
................ a FETISH!

Just google up www.getalife.com, take five or six Valium and repeat after me: "Life goes on even after you get rejected by the school you envy -- oops, I mean "hate."

I dont hate a school
I respect those who do well
because I know how hard it is to do well and stay there
The Corps is not one of those programs
But you talk smack like they are OSU, SC, LSU, Texas, OU, and Florida

Again as I posted you turn this personal

Thank you for posting football facts

I call them the Corps because you get banned for other names
Call my Rams anything you want
We are in trouble this year btw
will be lucky to win 5 I think

where is the football post here
ok

3-8 vs tech
now
How is the Corps gonna beat Leech in Lubbock?
Whats Fran gonna do?

Send the house?
Play a 3 with a backside banjo
play a 1 weak on the center?
Run the ball weakside vs Tech?
inside or outside stretch or trap?
Option weak to the field or sideline?

WHAT?

Now attack me because football knowledge is not what you have or understand
