sounds like we've already won...i have the feeling we're gonna get clocked now.

Body clocks, Texas A&M hype and more Week 1 CFP lessons learned

Don't overreact to a Texas A&M win

In each of the past two seasons, the Aggies have wowed us -- for a skinny minute -- in Week 1. Remember 2014? "Kenny Trill?" A&M hammered No. 9 South Carolina 52-28 -- in Columbia! There was only one problem: The Gamecocks weren't even close to being a top-10 team and finished unranked, deflating what appeared to be a statement win. Last year, A&M beat No. 15 Arizona State 38-17. No matter. It was irrelevant after the Aggies finished the regular season with four losses and quarterbacks Kyle Allen and Kyler Murray transferred. Don't be surprised if Texas A&M wins on Saturday against No. 16 UCLA. Be surprised if it amounts to something.

They do realize that the word fan is short for fanatic, right? Overreacting should be expected.

But I still am allowed to overreact if we lose, right?

They only said not to overreact if we win.

So, at what point in the season can we assume we're good if we keep winning? UT? Bama?

There is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO WORRY !







I am quite certain that if we win that we can count the UCLA game as one of our 6 wins.


And if we happen to lose, the UCLA game will be one of our 6 losses.





So, you see, it doesn't really matter either way !!!!!!

Those 2 games have nothing to do with this game. They only highlight how preseason rankings don't mean shiiiiiiiiiit.

Cute story, but does not compute, dickweed.

Doesn't this say more about UCLA being "Overhyped" and overrated?

Last Season was a Cluster F of epic proportions on Offense; we lacked creativity and execution once we hit conference play. I point the finger at the Afluenza Teen QB's and extremely poor Flash Card usage.

I do not have a crystal ball, however if Knight is B+ QB and we can survive our LB play, we should at the very least have a fun season.

first Games can go either way and UCLA may win 10 games, but I like our chances against almost everything the Pac can produce.

I cannot wait for Myles, Hall, Henderson and Mack to Welcome the Rosen One to Aggieland!

Exactly...this article could be paraphrases as "we're really bad at telling you how a team is going to be....A&M is going to be bad"

How can you in one article essentially point out how flawed you and your colleagues have been and then ask us to trust you this go round?

Lol, no. LB is incredibly thin and not very talented after Alaka and Richard Moore. DL and secondary are better, and I think our defense will be better. But saying it's the best we've ever had is absurd.

...but what if UCLA is actually good, Heather??? What if the Ags knock off a team that most in your own network are picking to win the Pac-12 South and compete with Stanford to win the league championship? How would that fit into the 'A&M's win amounts to nothing' narrative? Meanwhile, folks like her are just waiting for the Aggies to lose so they can anoint UCLA a Pac-12 title favorite and CFP contender based on an 'SEC win'...forget the fact that the same group of talking heads have spent the summer trying to explain why A&M isn't that good to begin with. Pretty pitiful take.

It is like the take on A&M is this.



If A&M wins UCLA stinks.

If UCLA wins, UCLA is good because A&M is SEC.

I want to win, but I kind of want it to be close. Demoralizing a team can send them into a tailspin which is bad for our SoS. It can also way over-inflate our own team. Let's grit one out with defense and a strong run game.
