bullets13 - I agree with everything you said - Texas will be a much improved team next year.

They have three 1-score losses to top-12 teams, two in OT.  They're a competent qb away from a top-10 ranking right now. I'm not happy with their record, but I'm very happy with the direction they're headed, especially on defense.

Sorry UTfanatic - topic is Okie State at Texas
And Texas better win or maybe Post Season might be in jeopardy!  And even with all the "This ain't last year" c**p - 3 - 4 would still suk!

Back on topic.
Texas better win or ---- man it "Sure will seem like last year".

Loss for Texas - but it looks like they have a gamer and a future at QB at least - he played his heart out.

That probably can be said for all of Bama's opponents until they meet Georgia in SEC Championship game.
This one will be ugly

That's an impressive showing by the horn defense.
Cyclones were averaging 41 points and 466 yards of offense. 7 points and 256 total yards last night.

Just hope none of the universities that we root for become involved in this - I also agree this will be ugly and deep and might dispel the innocence of the NCAA recruiting world in all sports.

Vandy,  One of the SEC bottom feeders, just put a beat down on number 18 ranked Kansas state. 
 

Big 10 all day

Hey A&M has even closed the gap in golf as the men's and women's teams were closely ranked for 2017 - but (sigh) Texas was slightly ahead for both men and women's golf.
But Hoops you are 100% right in Texas football rules - gonna be an interesting 2017-2018 campaign.
Lets get her started.
 

Take the Stadium Expansion out and Texas still is the dominate $$$$$ maker in the state - period.
But the question that should be asked is this - Why is the Texas overall athletic department not better?????
They pay their coaches 10% more than Ohio State - 21% more that Alabama and just a mere 40% more than those poor Aggies.
But the football team - well if the truth be known has been better, Basketball has been better - so on and so on.
Recently those poor out-paid Aggies who everyone one likes to make fun of have out performed Texas in Football, Track (both men and women), Baseball, Softball and Basketball was basically a toss-up.  Texas still is doing better is Women's Volleyball and Swimming (both men and women).
So is the money being well spent????
Discuss (or for Texas fans become indignant) 
 

Good to be back even if only for a little while and on and off.
But tell me if I am wrong - did you just cross baseball (2011 last football NC pfor Texas) and 1939 ( last football NC for A&M) - at least keep the discussion in the same sport!
 
 
 

We can only play the teams in front of us. We knew we were the worst team in Omaha going in to it.  Most expected 2 & Q with this team, although it did sting a little more losing to TCU again. 
 
The team is very young and gained a lot of experience this season. For game 1 our 2,3 & 4 hitters were all true freshman.  We should be a lot better next year, and hopefully I will get to make the trip back to Omaha.  

Man been away for awhile good to see nothing has changed:
Texas fans - Man we were really really good "back when"
A&M was not supposed to get out of their regional as the 3 ranked team and if I remember right was one of the last 4 teams to be invited to the post season at all.  I think even Texas fans can see how this A&M team performed much better than expected by even making it to the CWS.
 
 
 

We occupy a lot of space in that head of yours....

I don't know.  He did also beat Mississippi aggy which another coach we know couldn't accomplish....just sayin'

I tend to agree - but as an Aggie fan would love to see Texas get into another Strong with rose colored glasses again.
Herman could turn the system around - or could be the next Strong - remember Strong had just 2 good years at Louisville and was average before that.
In the big picture Herman is really new to the Head Coaching world.
But hell who am I to talk I want Sumlin fired and have A&M hire the Western Michigan coach - really the same situation. 

Offense is trying - just the defense is pitiful

The fact that anyone can argue a Pac 12 school's schedule is tougher than any SEC school, especially one that has it opponents at a whole .100 % points combined winning percentage behind the Ags, wreaks of lib-sip math. I am betting the farm Washington eventually ends up ahead of the Ags and I am Ok with that, but don't tell me that Portland State, Idaho, or Rutgers (8-16) are any better than the 3 ooc teams A&M play (11-13). C'mon man!!
And if we are gonna throw Stanford and Oregon up on a pedestal, then you must also mention that they squeaked by a horrible Arizona team (2-6, 0-5) 

Sorry I kinda thought he sounded like a Horn fan - "Things are gonna be better next year when we get that next great recruiting class" - just paraphrasing - 

I to this day don't understand why teams poke at Alabama like they won't beat you to sleep...
LSU has been in the headlines on multiple occasions saying they were gonna beat Bama..
Why?!?! I know ow your post to have confidence,  but come on man, really?? My college coach always told us go into game week with ultimate respect for the other team almost to the point where it sounded like you didn't think you'd win..
Idk I just think your giving Bama major fuel to use next week on BR to beat you by a wide margin lol 

Yes, it is a trap game.  But Miss St gave up 627 yards to Samford.  Many of that due to poor tackling.  Ags won't want to regress here, especially with that #4 ranking. Miss St QB pretty good, but they can't match the ATM offense.  Ags should win by 21.
