Texas A&M vs. Miami (NEW POLL)

[wedo]

Since nobody is talking about it i guess i'll start!

Who wins this one??

Im going with A&M by 7
17-10

[mistanice]

Miami by 12

[piratebg]

This game is tomorrow, right? I say A&M wins 24-21 just because I like close, hard fought games.

[luvhoops34]

Gotta go with Miami.:D

[sahen]

just for the heck of it....

2-0 Aggies....Miami speed neutralizes the Aggie option and they cant throw worth a darn....Miami's offense neutralizes itself so the Aggies just need to have 11 guys standing on the field so that someone can tackle the Hurricanes w/ the ball....Aggies win when Miami snaps a ball over the punter's head and out the back of the endzone late in the 4th quarter.......

I was spicing up the thread being such a boring subject:p

[Maroon87]

This is a game A&M absolutely should win if they expect to contend in the Big 12. Miami is at best mid-pack in the ACC.

[Darren]

Aggies by 10

[BobcatBenny]

I'm pulling for the Aggies in this one. That way they will be especially crushed in Lubbock.

And they might be, but if they're as good as most Aggie fans and some others seem to think, they should not lose this game.

if they are half as good as most aggie fans think....then the aggies would go undefeated ;)

no lie.......and they would win the NC by 50...lol

[Bull Butter]

If Tech played every team the way they play A&M, they would win the NC

yes....but we pull some crap like last year.....colorado sucked...and hammered us :(

If winning the NC was as fun as beating A&M, Tech would win the NC. :D

[JR2004]

Miami 27 A&M 23.

This Miami team isn't much on offense, but they're at home and they tend to play a little better there. Shannon will eventually get them back to national prominence. I think he'll have them back in the top ten within 3 years tops.

Besides I've gotta cheer for "The U" while Madison graduate Shawnbrey McNeal is there! He got his first action last week at RB and got 20 yards on a couple of carries.

[TexanAlum_06]

I think the athleticism and speed of Miami's defense will keep the option in check. I dont know how much success Goodson will have trying to get to the edge. this is a game where ATM's lack of a reliable passing attack could be their fate. But it should make for a good game. Im thinking a relatively low scoring game, probably like 21-17. and as for who wins, I will have to give a slight edge to the aggies. but not by much, this game can go either way.

[BobcatBenny]

The Miami HS foosball team downed the supposed best Texas HS team.

How would anyone think the Miami University team would get beat by the fourth best college progam in Texas?

:D :D :D :D :D

[whtfbplaya]

If atm wins it will be high scoring. 33-30
If Miami wins it will be low scoring. 21-17

[zebrablue2]

go aggies. A&M by 1.

[RMAC]

That made my day and that's no joke.

[Txbroadcaster]

IMO this game might be what defines Fran's tenure...If they lose to the Canes with how bad OU throttled UM then it shows truly how far A&M has to go..and I dont care that this game in Miami, A&M has got to come out and throttle them

[Bull19]

HOW ABOUT A POLL FOR THIS GAME?????

[GoStafford]

A&M by 17, definately

[BIG BLUE DEFENSIVE END]

I'm going to say that we win by 28 or more.

[BobcatBenny]

Honestly, I think A&M wins this one.

[3afan]

I think aTm can win this one ... but if somehow U's offense is really clicking then it will be tough ... McGee needs to have a good game obviously

[Darren]

oh no....... Not another Tech fan.

:D :D :D

[Funk-d-fied]

[kof96]

i think their 3OT game with fresno st. defined how far they are away from winning a NC or even the big 12

whoa now buddy.....dont start there, miami is comparable to UTEP; and Montana State and Louisiana Monroe??? dont throw a punch with no legs to stand on bro. psshhh at least our victories are more, how can i say this, convincing? and dont throw our bye week matchup at me cuz it's exactly that - a warmup game.

He wasn't talking about A&M. He was talking about Tech....and their games so far. It's pretty obvious he's an Aggie fan, which was MY point. :p

listen here rookie.....can u actually prove that he was comparing them to the aggies???? no you cant unless he says so, but without him saying so their is no way to tell.......so until he says he was, im going to say he was comparing them to notre dame

[Funk-d-fied]

thats right, i did not mention any other teams rookie, don't jump to conclusions. Your a typical tceh fan, just taking out your frustrations on other schools and thier Big 12 Championships. tceh would be a BCS buster every year if they got smart and left to the WAC or Conf. USA. In the Big 12, they have no chance at ever winning one or atleast in the next 10 years. But then again, that's my opinion.

[gato 76]

IM not a big A&M fan but i got to back up my boy the BIG K,or as you know him kellen heard.

[Phil C]

Miami has the home field advantage but the Aggies are catching them before they have their act together. The Aggies timed this game perfectly. And it is becoming obvious that McGee is a great passer as many of us have said and that the Aggies are finally not just using him to hand the ball off to his running backs or runing the option.

You DID drag Tech's schedule into this discussion, when A&M's has not been any better...and their wins actually less convincing.

Drop the "rookie" bit you two. :rolleyes:

[Funk-d-fied]

i did not drag it in, I simply stated something, there was no sarcasm or hurtfulness involved.

Well The U might be the 4th best college team in Florida right now, so then it should be a good matchup.:p

I was redshirted last year, so this is my redshirt freshman year. You don't hear my name because I don't get to play any, I'm fourth string Sam linebacker behind Mark Dodge, Matt Featherston, and Derek Dumas (junior walk-on). I just play scout defense and suit up for the home games at this point in my career.

I think this is a bit of a misconception. Actually, a well run option attack can negate a speedy defense. They can actually use the defenses speed against them.

Defending the option is much more about discipline than speed. My thought is that if A&M can pass a little to keep the safeties honest, they should win this one going away, something like 27-17.

[Funk-d-fied]

BBDE, your still a part of the Ags, I think it is awesome you even get to wear the uniform. Congrats to you for that, it's an honor.

save it for later in the year....lhpm

oh please.... i think i've read stuff like this ever since i started reading this board...the fact is (and this has been said over and over and over and over and over and over, i think you get the point, again) that every school has their bad apples and there is nothing anyone can do about that

Why do I get the feeling that Phil was the one poster to pick "undecided"??? :D

Very good point! A&M could not run the ball against CAl a "speedy ultra athletic defense" and look what happen
