  4. Dee Paul finished with 262 yards rushing.  That kid has some serious speed!
  5. [quote name="justsaying" post="1357233" timestamp="1356031379"] will this fix those dang pop ups? [/quote] My iPhone hasn't had any pop ups the last few days.  Hopefully it stays that way.
  6. [Hidden Content] 5 SEC teams in the top 10, 10 SEC teams in the top 30.  I guess they have SEC bias in baseball too Eagle.  ;D

  8. [quote name="EAGLE07" post="1354816" timestamp="1355496356"] Cha-ching  Cha-ching $125 mil geeeeeeeeze [/quote] I believe he is now tied for the 2nd highest paid player in the league behing A-Rod.  Has one of these huge multi-year contracts to an aging player ever really paid off? The Rangers did right letting him go, I just wish he would have left the division.  My poor Astros are in for it the next few years./////
  9. ESPN reporting a 5 year deal
  10. [quote name="cougar14" post="1352934" timestamp="1355159657"] I know this is going to be a fire-starter but I think it needs to be said. This is what a good African-American coach can do for a program, especially in the south. Kevin Sumlin has now flipped Thomas Johnson, Seals-Jones, and just picked up Justin Manning who I think is the best d-tackle in the state. Before Sumlin got there TAMU was very unlikely to get the top players in the state, especially if they were African-American. Very hard for those kids to blend in College Station and feel like it's a second home unlike Austin or the DFW area. He has also gotten Kameron Miles to decommit from Tennessee. Eldridge Massington has not yet committed to TAMU but is looking like a likely target for Sumlin, Massington is a USC decommit. If A&M can continue to keep winning they're going to blow Texas out of the water in recruiting which has been the Horns lifeblood for a decade, it seems like unless you were an All-American in high school UT wouldn't offer you in the past. A&M is fitting right along in the SEC though, I believe UT didn't offer Manning yet because he was a non-qualifier last time I checked. [/quote] I agree with what you are saying, but it was also the perfect storm with the new conference.  Top players in Texas want to play against the best players in the country in the SEC.  That was a big selling point for Sumlin and I believe he relates better to the young players of today.  Early in the year when RS-J and Kohl Stewart played on National TV, Sumlin landed his maroon helicopter on the field right next to the football field where the players were stretching.  Both teams stopped warming up and watched Sumlin get out of the chopper and were awestruck.  Stupid stuff like that means a lot to young kids and that was the first time I really started to believe Sumlin would do great things at A&M.  A&M was already close talent wise last season.  They were in and should have won every game except OU, but they choked at the end of games.  Talent wise they hung with everyone they played. A&M just needed a young, entergetic coaching staff to push them over the edge and Sumlin has brought that. 
  11. [quote name="cougar14" post="1353031" timestamp="1355169268"] [quote author=phunter308 link=topic=107332.msg1353019#msg1353019 date=1355168172] Johnny football and alot of the other stars were recruited before Sumlin got there. Aggies have excelled with his offense because Johnny is that good. All these recruits coming in are doing so because of the excitement of playing in the SEC and the wins the AGGIES posted up. Just wait till  they get the wrecking crew in line. [/quote][b]Is Johnny that good or is Sumlin? Keenum's passing numbers dwarfs Manziel's.[/b] If A&M went 6-6 in the SEC Sumlin wouldn't be flipping all these guys. Besides Joekel and Matthews there weren't any stars on A&M's roster before he got there. Only kid besides those two A&M had committed that was a high school blue chipper is Trey Williams, Evans was a basketball player. It's clear Sumlin is a better coach than Sherman was but the real reason he's going to start dominating the recruiting in Texas is because the African-American parents in the state are excited to have a school to send their kids to that has an African-American head coach. Same reason the minorities vote in a landslide for Obama, doesn't make it right but that's just how it is. [/quote] A&M led the SEC in rushing and passing this season, while Keenum just threw it all over the field, so it's hard to just compare passing numbers.  A lot of JFF's big plays came with him scrambling and creating behind his great offensive line.  Sumlin and Kingsbury figured out the best way to use Johnny and he excelled.  I don't think it would have worked under Sherman's pro style offense. 
  12. TD Dogs!  Taylor with a TD catch Fake pat is no good 38-6 GT with 1:37 left
  13. I've gotta go watch Johnny Football win the Heisman.  That's my only shot at being happy with football today. Great season Dogs!!  Way to represent 20-4a
  14. Nederland runs a hook & ladder in the red zone and throws it to the other team.  That's at least 6 turnovers so far.  I've lost count
  15. Pass right to GT with no receiver on that side of the field.  GT about to score again
  16. 31-0 GT with 1 min left in 3rd Nederland's D is gassed. They've been on the field the whole game.
  17. Nederland's D is doing their job, but the offense needs to help them out some.  Can't turn it over against good teams and expect to win. 17-0 GT at half
  18. [quote name="NDNation" post="1352016" timestamp="1355004598"] Why aren't they using Hopkins more [/quote] We aren't getting much on the ground.  Our recievers are open if we could find them.
  19. [quote name="mytwocents" post="1351964" timestamp="1355002246"] Punt on third down?? [/quote] 3rd & long from the 1.  Good call
  20. 57 yard punt on 3rd & long from their endzone.  Good play call
