You Ags are so lucky my Hogs beat themselves or yall record in the SEC right now would really suck, especially with all those 4 and 5 star recruits yall have running amuck. ;)

You can't continue to ride this wave in mediocrity. You can't push the SEC if you are a pretender in the conference. The biggest problem I see is still a defense that has no chance against anyone wh

The SC game had me convinced that the Ags were for real and may run the table. Seasons such as this are why I hate smack talk, bragging on recruits, and attendance records.

A&M opens as a 2.5 favorite at home. I was kind of surprised by that line.


I would have been shocked if they weren't. Home field is worth several points in Cfb, probably worth more at Kyle than most venues. I think the Aggies win this one. How close will depend on which defense we see. I will say 45-28.

3rd straight year that Ole Miss has been fined for fans coming onto the field.  This one cost them 50K.  And they stole the goal post.  Obviously, they aren't used to winning.  Ags need to hit them in the mouth early and bring them back to reality.

This is unfamiliar territory for OM. How are they going to handle prosperity? They admitted to practicing for bamr the entire season so far. Thus the struggle with Memphis. Is investing so much in the bamr win going to have an adverse affect this week?

 

OM doesn't have the offense of State or even of Arkansas so A&M's defense won't be as much as issue

 

My guess is OM has a big let down on the road and A&M wins.

Kyle Field is the greatest home field advantage in CFB.

 

You heard it straight from the guru.

 

 I have got to go with the Aggies at home. The Home of the 12th Man.

Ole Miss's defense is a heck of a lot better than A&M's, and the offenses are comparable when Wallace is on his game. I don't see how A&M can be favored to win, even at home. If A&M's defense had shaped up like I hoped it would, I could see it, but not now. Ole Miss by at least two possessions.

Yes the OM defense is better than A&M's but the offenses are not comparable in the least.

 

A&M is averaging 586 yards per game while OM is averaging 462. A&M has no problem moving the ball against anyone. Their problem is no one has a problem moving it against their defense.

No doubt the Ole Miss defense is good.  The touchdown Ole Miss' defense allowed in the first half to Bama was the only touchdown the Ole Miss' first-team defense has allowed all year.  However, I still always bet against the team that tears down the goal posts the week before.  The Rebels will not come out as strong as last week, but the Ags have to take advantage from the get-go.  The Ags don't want to lose two straight, so I expect their best effort here.  For the record, I predict both Mississippi teams go down this week.

If A&M does not play with a sense of urgency then I will be greatly disappointed.  

 

You can blame the defense all day long - and there is legitimate reasons to do so - but everyone knew that for A&M to make an impact this year it was going to be on the offensive side of the ball and it has not been there on a consistent basis.  

 

Offense turns it around and we have a chance to win - if they struggle we could see another loss. 

 

Prediction:

 

Ole Miss

      Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.

      I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.

      He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up.

      I heard the assistant was going to get this job and assume it was referring to the old Vidor coach, Nate Smith.  I always thought he did more with less at Vidor and can't help but think he shares some responsibility in Vidor's recent success.

      Classic Bridge City.  Always someone else's fault, refs/umpires cheated, AD with an agenda, yada, yada, yada.  As far as I can tell it's damn near impossible to get fired at these schools so when someone does get fired, it's usually something.  Drama at Bridge City is a constant.  The guy did a good job coaching basketball and I'm sure he'll continue that somewhere else.  Time to move on.
