Mike Evans was the best player on the team while at A&M.

"During the first season, the Aggies gave up only 13.1 yards per return.

If you look at NCAA kickoff coverage, if you have 25 yards average, you're good," Sherrill said.

Over the next five seasons, the Aggies led the country in covering kickoffs twice, and never finished out of the top five in that category.

I seem to recall him winning games.

And of the games he lost, I don't recall the kickoff coverage being the culprit...

On the interstate I drive 5-10 mph over the speed limit and stay in the left lane.
If someone is driving faster than me, they can go around. I'm not moving to the slow lane only to have to hit my brakes for the slow cars.
I've pissed a lot of people off over this and I don't care.

I want to become a cop just to pull morons like you over. I would set a world record for tickets issued to dumbasses who drive in the left lane when not passing.

The speed at which you travel is not an issue. The issue is that the left lane is for passing only. If you are driving in it and not actively passing someone, regardless of speed, you are breaking the law, impeding the flow of traffic and just being an a-hole. Doing an annoying act you know is not right and not caring about how it affects others is the height of petulant childish activity. My six year old has more maturity than you OP.

I would have preferred the team play in Houston for a season so the stadium could have been completely torn down and built new.
We SECeded where others failed.

Journey and U2 are terrible bands.

Dont stop believing is the worst song ever.
Journey is indeed a turrible, turrible band, and they should not have been allowed to exist and perform, but The Captain and Tenille's "Muskrat Love" is the worst song ever, followed closely by "MacArthur Park" - mostly because of its lyrics.

My recollection from back when it stopped being a full team of walk ins was in fact one season they could not stop anyone. Gave up a couple TDs and they cut it back to a single walkon.

I admit to speeding 5-10 over the speed limit and I'm the reason I35 sucks?

Mike Sherman was a better coach than most Aggies give him credit for. He definitely had his faults, but he had an eye for talent and left A&M in a position to at least be interesting in the SEC. In 2012, he left Sumlin with a starting offense of:

JFF
Mike Evans
4 1st round pick OL
Ryan Swope
Christine Michael

I remember that RC carried on the tradition until they gave up a touchdown and then we switched to one walk on and the rest scholarship players.

If remember correctly, in the transition from all kick off team to scholly, coaches used to make decisions on a week to week basis from the practice team.

I know that competitive demands dont make that work anymore, but if there was a way to award the best practice squad player that week, I think it would serve the team for rewarding practice competition.

Carry on ....

As King pointed out, he's passing all the cars on the right going 65-70. Cops don't care if you're in the left lane if you're passing up the cars on your right. I doo this exact same thing, have passed cops dozens of times, and none run me down for being in the left lane.

The problem isn't people going 80 in the left lane and staying there, the problem is people going 60 or 105 in the left. Maybe y'all shouldn't drop 90 in a 75 like jackasses.
