VT/A&M ESPN has done it again

gemba · Sep 15, 2003

I can't believe my eyes!!! How can ESPN put a poll out that has A&M in the Top 20? This must be for the ratings or something.

Last year, I went on and on about the future of Reggie. This year I have seen NOTHING out of Reggie. A&M is improving week after week but they are not Top 20! They are Top 45 if they are lucky.

Word on the street here in Aggieland is that Fran only used 20% of the playbook so far. Do I think he has enough hidden somewhere to beat Virginia Tech? Not a chance!

Virginia Tech by 21!

There will be a keg or two here at the apartment. We have to find something fun to do while our poor Aggies get run over!

Have you ever lost a bet in your life that made you so happy? As I sat there Saturday and lost over 500 on the Texas game a smile came to my face. It was the best feeling I have had ever while losing a bet. Choke Texas Choke! Mack Brown is the "greatest" coach ever to not win the Big 12!

My prediction of the year:

Texas beats Oklahoma and loses to A&M at Kyle field!!!

Gemba, What does A&m's defense look like this year? I will tell you this A&m has a very good coach who looks to exploit the opponent's weaknesses on defense(unlike Slocum, who seemed to just go with his strengh, never trying to take advantage of the opponent's weaknesses on defense). I am a Hokie so I see all their games, and it seems like teams with good offensive coachs have found ways to take advantage of the Hokie Defense(Central Fla, Pitt, Miami). On the other side of the ball,I think this could be the best offense the Hokies have ever had, including when Vick was here. I think A&m may keep this close because I think they will score some points this year.Not playing it yet but would bet A&m if I bet it.Do not like to bet on or against may favorite teams, can cloud my judgement.

The A&M defense is full of holes. #5 from Utah ran all over us when we knew it was going to him every time. Suspension and loss of key players can be seen in the defense. My roomate lives on TexAgs and sees things in a game I don't notice. There has been a lot of improvement in two weeks and reports from practice are getting better. Remember, the playbook has not even been opened!

Team departed today around 1pm. I was there to see them leave by motorcade. Nothing real impressive to report. -14.5 looks to be a good line for Vegas.

Did anyone love that Texas game like I did? I lost my money on it but wasnt it great???

Hornsfan, we all know that everybody at A&M secretly wishes they could go to UT, and actually enjoy their sports programs. In related news the MAC conference is trying to recruit A&M for next year.
