I am calling it. The tide has turned.
The aggies now see themselves as capable and able to do anything, but are not over confident.
They are truly talented and they did a bunch of growing up over the past four games.
Then won't lose again this season.
You heard it first here.

Let's not begin thinking our team will cure cancer....
I agree, our team played a good game this past Saturday. However, we will face two much better teams than Tech to round our schedule out.

i don't know about going 9-3, but i will say that i definitely like how Sherman seems to run monday practices. all college teams need to learn to focus on the next game, not the previous one or the one in 3 weeks. we obviously have a lot of athletic ability and very solid players on the team, and if they can keep their focus where it needs to be, i can agree on several more wins.

They have a mathematical shot of still winning the south.
Okie State has to beat Texas and then lose to Tech and Oklahoma.
If the aggies win out under this scenario they win the south.
Regardless they aren't going to lose again. Mark it down. If they do, monkeys will fly out of my butt.

Right then they would go based on head to head. We would need them to lose to another team. Missed that.

So we would have two losses, osu would have two losses, ou would have two losses, and texas would have two losses. How do we when the big 12 in that senario? Then its based on bcs standing and I dont think we would be the highest ranked team

As much as I'd love to say we won't lose another game, I just cant. The one thing I've noticed about the past few years of Aggie football teams is that we get up for the big games (Tceh, OU, t.u.) But when it comes to the lesser teams (K State, Baylor, CU, maybe even Iowa State) we always "play down" to their level and either lose or win a very close game. So is it possible we win out? Yes, in college football anything is possible. Will it happen probably not. I see us at 7-5 with an Alamo bowl berth

ACTUALLY in case of a 4 way tie for 1st place with this scenario.
A&M - losses to KSU and OSU
Texas - losses to A&M and OSU
OSU - losses to OU and Tech
Tech - losses to A&M and Texas
A&M would in fact win on the basis of having only 1 loss in Big XII South play. You're forgetting several steps in the tie-breaking process.
That said, for us to win the South (even assuming we win out) chances are OSU will have to lose 3 games and Texas would need to lose one to someone other than us.

I think they lose 1-2 more.
However I think that in each of the losses they go down swinging and the games will be very close, and probably decided late.

Tides come in and they go out, then in again and out again. Kind of like freshmen/soph weighted teams. We need to win this weekend and that's all that matters for the moment.

Seriously, the trolls on this board are ridiculous. I've never met an Aggie in my entire 33 years that's as big a sunshine pumper as these trolls are.
C'mon trolls, try to be a little more realistic in your attempts. Why not just say that after beating Tech we're ready to move to London and be the next NFL expansion team over there?

although im not ready to say we will not lose again this year, i do think that we will hand it to ISU, Baylor, and CU.
I also think the OU game will be a one score game in the 4th quarter and if we keep the turnovers down we can win.
as far as tu goes, they havent impressed me at all this year and without the refs being on their payroll, they would have 1 or 2 losses.
Id give us the nod over tu as of right now, i think we are playing better than them.
8-4 is my prediction

I am not a troll. Class of 1990.
I did witness the tide turning when Sherill was around, however. The tide officially turned when we beat the snot outta of ND in the cotton bowl. So much so, Bob Davie, our then DC, ended up being Lou Hotlz's replacement.
After that game the aggies went on to rule the SWC. Granted, the Big 12 is much harder, but the team dynamics are very similar. Then, we played a boatload of talented freshmen too.
The next year, everyone took A&M for granted and we handed them their hats.
Later Sherman arrived, RC took the reigns, Kubiak (now with the Texans of course) and RC had problems keeping teams from offering our assistant coaches jobs. Sherman ended up with the packers and Davie ended up at ND.
But RC, Sherman and other older ags have seen this team dynamic before. Learn some history before you call names.
I may be wrong, but Lou Holtz had his butt handed to him, because he continued to believe the Aggies were the Same Old Ags.
I have been around long enough to know what is the Same Old Ags and what is a new era.

Eddie;
As a co-witness to the said turn around, I'm not sure you have all the facts right but that's okay. It happened and as I recall, things weren't very pretty before they did. Some had begun to wonder whether Jackie was in-fact "the man" that could make it happen. My recollection (or realization) of that pivotal moment was the end of the season win over tu.
I do hope you're "right on" about the team and the process.

The end of season win over tu was pivotal, true. But what made the national attention take notice was the win over ND.
Back then ND drew way more attention than tu did. The SWC was considered, "weak" and it wasn't we laid it on ND did the world take notice.
I see the TT game, much like the tu game then and I see this years Texas game much like the ND was then.
And similarities about the uncertainty of Jackie and the uncertainty of Sherman abound. Both had nothing programs, had to rebuild from scratch and eventually got the team believing in their own abilities after a few years of hard, hard work.
The timelines of success/rebuilding in each regime are very comparable.
