Good thing for Tech the game is in Lubbock.

I was at the game today also. That was the best I have seen Baylor play. Sure wish they had won some of those earlier games that were close, including the Missouri game to make them bowl eligible. I don't think they can count on a victory in Lubbock to get them there.

you know, as an aggie...I called this. I knew our DC wouldnt gameplan for Griffin right. And I said they would beat us, and probably hand it to us.

That being said, I am a Sherman fan, all the way. The guy is working on building a program here. These things dont happen in one year. It takes a few. I project that in the 2010 football season we might be scary, with Jeff Fuller and Cyrus Gray being juniors. Those two are pretty dang good ball players.

In one year Briles has overtaken a&m and made Baylor relevant. I am now the biggest Grandpa Sherm fan in the world. He just got donkey stomped by a team with infinitely less talent, infinitely less money, and a first year coach. This loss destroys a&m football b/c the "cupboard is bare" argument is impossible to use. Briles is where college football is and where it is going. Grandpa Sherm is where it was when we left the SWC. If you are the average recruit there is no way you would want to play in that 1992 offense.

Wow Baylor looked pretty good, Sherman an the aggies looked pretty bad and have looked bad all year. I thought Sherman was supposed to be the answer, or was that Fran i'm not sure. This season imo really hurts the ags in recruiting. Sherman may have done more damage than just having a losing season. Briles recruiting just went through the roof with that QB they have what kid wouldnt want to play with a talent like that.

So one year = end of the world? Give Sherman a break, these are hardly the players that he recruited and a totally different system compared to last year, and I do believe the talent is equal on both teams, Robert Griffin is going to be mentioned in the Big 12 QB's next year.

All in all you have me saying your ignorance is stupendous, did you know Coach Sherman was a head coach with the Green Bay Packers from 2000-2005?
Not only that, but he was offensive coordinator for the Texans last year. With that, I have no idea where your "1992 offense" comment came from, lay off the methamphetamines.

11-16-2008, 03:17 PM
Haha. Good post Bulldog92.

Sherman did more damage? The day he signed with A&M we picked up Jeff Fuller, and some other recruits that were just waiting to see if it was him.
And Griffin is the reason we lost. That kid can flat out play. To put all the credit on Briles is a bit ridiculous. Sure, he recruited Griffin, but wasnt there a thread just a bit ago about how he missed all those players in his backyard? He found a special talent in Griffin, and he is reaping the benefits for his spectacular recruit.

actually i'd say the 5 turnovers our defense forced was the reason you lost, but ok you can blame griffin....

did an aggie earlier actually say the talent is equal at baylor and a&m?...two things w/ that...first of all it isnt, atleast according to the past 4 or 5 recruiting classes and the fact that baylor has lost a ton to attrition, and not only is it not even it isnt even close, the Aggies should have players on their 2nd and 3rd teams that would start at Baylor, that is bad coaching my friend....but lets humor the Aggie line that now the talent is equal and look at the fact that w/ equal talent and time at the schools Briles team just donkey stomped Sherman's team...so far round 1 of the Briles vs. Sherman experiment goes heavily towards Briles...

All of you want to point the finger at something, but the blame goes around to everyone on the team and the coaches. You can't just point the finger and say it is a single flaw, it's a problem that we all need to find, address, and fix together. The fact of the matter is that we are all responsible for the loss from the top to the bottom. We are a team and we're also a family, and everyone who is associated with this team has the same number of wins and losses and every statistic associated with the team is associated with all of us; coaches and players alike. We just need to find out what the problem is and fix it. Hats off to Baylor and Coach Briles, those guys did what was necessary to win, and to win big at that. No excuses, no finger pointing, and we're not going to sell each other out and we're not going to sit back and let other people try to point the finger at any one person in particular. The results rest squarely on the shoulders of all of us, and we have to face the reality together, regardless of what you have to say as spectators, fans and critics alike. I just want to reiterate that this isn't any one person's fault alone, the problem rests on all of our shoulders, so you guys out there keep that in mind and stay classy.

The 1992 offense is in regard to the fact that Grandpa Sherm is running a Pro style offense that has been outdated in college football for several years. You can't win with that offense in the Big 12 anymore. My friends, a pro coach does not necessarily make a good college coach (ask Nebraska) and vice versa (ask the Redskins). Sherm was asked in an interview before the season if he would mix the old and new schemes. He said "No, we are a pro-style offensive team." I knew at that point a&m was in trouble. Fewer high school athletes want to play in that style offense, when you have Raiders, Sooners, Tigers, Cowboys, and horns hanging half a hundred. A sign of how outdated and backward the thinking is in CS is that they really believe that they can win with this style of offense even though it has led them to the cellar of the South.

BTW, anyone who says the talent is equal is out of their mind. Ask Scout, Rivals, Randy Rodgers, Texas Football, or whoever you would like. That game was ALL about coaching, plain and simple.

I knew I would get that response and should have mentioned it. The SEC is outdated offensively too. It will look like the Big 12 soon. They will change. Just watch who will win the SEC. Meyer's offense will destroy Alabama in the SEC championship for the same reason. I'm am telling you guys, Brown, Stoops, and Leach are loving the fact that a&m hired Sherman.

11-16-2008, 10:47 PM
One other thing: the SEC schools are recruiting from states where the high school football is archaic (other than Florida where the college offenses look like the Big 12). I honestly believe that this is because of the fact that we have the most creative and ingenious high school coaches in the nation.

I was talking to one of the Ennis coaches the other day and told him that outside of Hal Mumme, I directly link the changing face of college football to Texas High School Football coaches. What do these guys have in common: Chase Daniel, Graham Harrell, Colt McCoy, and Todd Reesing all came from creative offensive staffs in Texas. Missouri changed offenses at Daniel's begging and look what happened. Texas high school football is changing things on higher levels. We can all be proud of that.

During a broadcast of one of SLC's games during Daniel's senior season, ESPN was interviewing his father which stated that Chase was going to Missouri because they ran the same offense that SLC did. They were already running it.

Not disagreeing with any of your other opinions though.

11-16-2008, 11:04 PM
Mizzou ran a spread with Brad Smith at QB, but it was not like the one they ran at SLC. I am not saying you are wrong, we are both right. They ran a a QB-run style spread and Chase lobbied to switch it to a Tech/SLC style spread with more screens and seam routes. Pinkel sent assistants after the 2006 season to learn as much as they could about this style and they made the switch, albeit it slight compared to what the Big 10, SEC, and A&M are running. BTW, this whole topic is why Phil Fulmer is without a job and the rumors are flying that Leach is going to Tennessee. Welcome to the new era of college football thanks to our high school coaches of which Briles was a big part.

It is just ridiculous how many people, even here in our own state, hate the Aggies and take joy in seeing them at their lowest. I have never understood the reasoning. I bleed Maroon, yet I root for Texas, Tech, TCU, SMU, Houston, etc. you get my drift. I only root against them when they play my Aggies. You are talking about a great university with one of the longest running programs in the country, a military background, and 18-22 year old young men out there working very hard to be the next division champions in A&M history. How could you take joy in seeing them play bad? That question is meant to be rhetorical, so let's don't get this thread closed by saying something stupid. I was just voicing (typing) my feelings. You should all stay classy, especially when you are talking about kids that are in class as much as they are on the field.

Right you are. Being a student-athlete isn't easy, and I respect any player from any team and any sport who can do it because I know what it feels like spending at least half of the year waking up at 5:30 in the morning to work out and/or run until you're almost give out and then go through your entire day. It's like having another job and at least two other classes all rolled into the same thing and placed in front of you, so it's hard for me to say that I want anyone who is doing the same things I am to fail and be unsuccessful.

I guarantee you there are Aggies out there that root against Texas and Tech because I know several of them. To say that fans root against your team but your fans don't root against other teams is just completly unfounded.

It isnt like Texas fans just root agaisnt A&M or Tech fans just root against A&M. Try being a Longhorn fan every game you play no matter if it is Kansas or Tech or whoever every time you get a shot of the crowd they are throwing to horns sign down. Sounds to me like you are taking your favorite teams struggles way too personal.

Sherm has proven that the offense that they are currently running can put up some huge numbers...and that is with an offensive line that is in terrible shape coming out of the Fran era. He also is starting a new quarterback, two freshmen recievers and has been missing one of the better returning runningbacks in the conference due to injuries for a large part of the season (Goodson). The lack of running game is the result of this fiasco on the offensive line. The deficiency throughout the year has been primarily on defense. Fran recruited for power and strength and gave up speed...you have to have speed to compete with the offenses in the big 12 which spread you out so much. To me, much of the blame can be laid at Fran's feet for not being smart in his recruiting. He left the cupboard very bare in some areas that require depth such as linebacker, defensive line and offensive line. That is why we are starting as many as 14 freshman throughout the year. You are going to take you lumps when this type of things happen...I don't care who you are. Rembember, Baylor's transition was minimal in terms of offensive philosphy...A&M's was huge (option, zone read to...multiple formation pro-style).

I get the sense that a strength of Sherm and his staff is in teaching....I really believe that this team has some very good young talent and if given time...Sherman will create something very special, teams that can compete with anyone. Call me an optimist but I truly believe this. So as for now...I think that it is a little early to throw Sherman, these kids and A&M under the bus.

The 1992 offense is in regard to the fact that Grandpa Sherm is running a Pro style offense that has been outdated in college football for several years. You can't win with that offense in the Big 12 anymore. My friends, a pro coach does not necessarily make a good college coach (ask Nebraska) and vice versa (ask the Redskins). Sherm was asked in an interview before the season if he would mix the old and new schemes. He said "No, we are a pro-style offensive team." I knew at that point a&m was in trouble. Fewer high school athletes want to play in that style offense, when you have Raiders, Sooners, Tigers, Cowboys, and horns hanging half a hundred. A sign of how outdated and backward the thinking is in CS is that they really believe that they can win with this style of offense even though it has led them to the cellar of the South.

BTW, anyone who says the talent is equal is out of their mind. Ask Scout, Rivals, Randy Rodgers, Texas Football, or whoever you would like. That game was ALL about coaching, plain and simple.

Sherm has proven that the offense that they are currently running can put up some huge numbers...and that is with an offensive line that is in terrible shape coming out of the Fran era. He also is starting a new quarterback, two freshmen recievers and has been missing one of the better returning runningbacks in the conference due to injuries for a large part of the season (Goodson). The lack of running game is the result of this fiasco on the offensive line. The deficiency throughout the year has been primarily on defense. Fran recruited for power and strength and gave up speed...you have to have speed to compete with the offenses in the big 12 which spread you out so much. To me, much of the blame can be laid at Fran's feet for not being smart in his recruiting. He left the cupboard very bare in some areas that require depth such as linebacker, defensive line and offensive line. That is why we are starting as many as 14 freshman throughout the year.
