Who are you and what have you done with Cyan?
Is A&M supposed to be a low or mid-tier school?

still not picking state even against indiana? you stick to your principles
Glad the bye week is over.
I think it was a good time to have a bye week for us, particularly when considering we're still running out two true freshmen at QB; got the non-con schedule out of the way, plus had one game against a more legit opponent in TCU. Followed up the big win against TCU with a bit of a struggle against Texas State (at least on offense) so the team wasn't too full of themselves heading into the bye week, plus Kansas (who was also on bye this past week) finally beat an FBS opponent in their last game so we have a bit of an impetus to not take them too lightly. Seems like a recipe for getting a lot of good work done in an off week, plus it let a few guys on our OL get healthy and Lord knows we need all the depth there that we can get.

A&M is the very definition of an upper mid-tier school. The fan-base likes to think of themselves as a goliath that has been long-dormant... but long-dormant seems to mean 110 years with a 6 year period when they were in the national title hunt and wound up with major NCAA infractions and banned from post season games and TV for their trouble. twice.
It's not a bad job, but A&M isn't in the Michigan/Bama/Texas/USC/Florida tier of schools.
Your like Clemson or SCAR. Not a bad job. A lesser Bowden might even stick it out there for a decade.
Nole hatred runs deep.

I hope cashman is okay. Sorry about your Rangers, but at least you have the Longhor....Dallas Cowb.....Mavri.....
Have you been to a Texas Wild World Team Tennis Match in Irving? They made the playoffs, and feature the Bryan Brothers!!!
Check the template, thats on ttk. I was wondering when someone would notice. I fixed it on my picks

The Bryan Brothers? They're practically a lock!
I'm pretty happy with the Longhorn news, though. Dodds out means Mack is definitely out, and that means I can cheer for them to win without feeling bad.

Coach Leach reacting to 'popcorn guy': http://www.swxrightnow.com/category...d=9364702&topVideoCatNo=155153&autoStart=true
I love this man.
Edit: All of you picking Cal over us are crazy. We will win that game by 2 touchdowns.

Nope. We will win 31-17. Exactly that score. Halliday to go over 400 yards with 4 tds and 1 pick-six. Naturally.
I'm not an Aggie. That should be obvious by now.
Regardless they've got the financials the be a top tier job if they actually had people willing to spend the money. Where their program goes from here will be determined by how much the school administration wants to keep seeing those record $740 million donation levels. I'd be shocked if A&M doesn't throw their wallet at Sumlin, or in the event that he leaves, whoever is considered the best available coach. They've had the taste of success and it tastes like giant wads of cash.

Lets see how long that lasts. This was a school that just got done firing it's president because she asked the athletic department to pay back the academic side the 18 million they had to loan them to pay their debts.
Things are on the upswing, but that is an athletic department that has made some pretty iffy financial decisions. For instance, that new stadium is being financed with a 330 million dollar revenue bond.
Probably a good excuse to keep throwing money at Sumlin because a drop in attendance could cause major issues. There are various points in this where they have to service upwards of 22 million a year on these things. That's a lot of scratch, and there have been years recently where that sum is very nearly their net income for the year from football.
I think Northwestern will be embarrassed. Probably a silly correlation since ABC is ESPN, but Northwestern is 0-5 for games broadcasted on ABC.
The secondary barely has any experience as the veteran usually playing that spot is out for the season, so Braxton Miller will have video game numbers with his arm.
Game will either be a beat down or offensive shootout thriller. I hope it is the later.

1-8 on games coming off a bye under Fitz too. But since this summer I have thought this will be our most difficult game, we just came off a pretty physical slugfest where we lost our defensive leader and watched our best corner get torched all game.
Do you guys have friends that aren't big fans that won't leave you alone about rankings? One of my friends can't comprehend how Georgia can move up to 6 while FSU stays at 8. Then when I explain why that happened(and why it really doesn't matter at this point of the season), I just get a response like oh that's stupid. Like shit you don't even follow the sport, of course rankings make no sense to you!
I don't see why they don't save those uniforms for a game you have a chance of winning. I guess they're going for the upset, trying to motivate players and fans. Anything can happen, and Neyland Stadium is always a tough place to play no matter how shitty Tennessee is.
I heard on the radio this morning that it's been something like 20 years since no Dallas pro teams made the playoffs. The Stars, Mavericks, and Rangers have all missed out this year, so the city's hopes rely on the Cowboys now.

no, they're killing GTAOnline
This is an entirely different kind of problem altogether.
Cheers to Mike Leach! Jeers to Craig James (and this rusty tailgate)!

That isn't why she was fired. Technically, we don't know why, because no one could read the scribbles on her performance evaluation. But we all know it's because she wasn't the mouthpiece the chancellor wanted her to be. I didn't like some of her initiatives (agrilife is just so dumb), but let's not pretend her firing was anything but dirty politicking.
As for the rest of it, I'm hoping the new AD is running things better than Bill Byrne did, not that it should be too difficult a standard to beat.

Yeah but no wild cards are going to come from that division. I think Washington will pick up the pace a bit, and whichever team ends up 8-8 will be playoff bound.

The Navy/Air Force game has been cancelled due to being "nonessential."
Supposedly the Army game is still happening, not sure if they just figured a cheap way to do it or what.

Make BC pay for travel.
Is Army playing at home? If so, that may explain it.
Tech got a commitment today from a JUCO who transferred there from Florida A&M.
It's weird to see a highlight reel of a recruit that shows him playing against Oklahoma.
With Navy and Air Force both being military, maybe it's just harder for Army to get out of the contract with an outside organization?

Based on my calculation I did pretty well again last week, looking forward to seeing ttk's final tally. I got 11/12 games right (only missed the Techmo Bowl) and got 4 MOV bonus points, total 15 points! I hope I can keep this up.

I don't think we have another home game we have a chance to win outside of Vandy and I don't think they want to wait till late November for them. So it is either USCe or UGA and with UGA being the primary SEC game this week and probably the last time we play of CBS this year I am sure Adidas pushed for it to be this week.
Good week. Alabama blanked Ole Miss, and the wife and I set a new PR at the Providence Half Marathon.
Looking like winning a bye week might be more difficult than the game coming up this weekend. I expect Sims to walk out for the first series at QB, and every starter with a nagging injury to sit.

Fair enough, I'm pretty worried about Tennessee. They have a really good secondary and OL. Receivers and QB are coming along nicely.
Looks like a lot of Vol fans are buying these jerseys and expecting a big win this weekend.

OH COME ON. Even I think this is ridiculous.
Edit: I didn't even get to the part where you said their QBs are coming along nicely. Whorley is shit. Apparently Peterman is worse.
OH COME ON.
