All the more reason to not panic.

Praises our facilities, says we have everything a program needs from the university to win, goes on to say that we could likely be looking at a 7-5 season, which is worse than most of Sumlin's seasons. He didn't really come after Jimbo but asked Finebaum what's up in College Station.

Finebaum lightly defending us, saying we're fine.

Obligatory if Sumlin was our coach with this schedule, we'd be aiming for bowl game eligible.

I am in panic mode. I'm fine with who we have lost to, but I'm not fine with how we lost. I never thought a Jimbo led team wouldn't be competitive.

Stephen A and Skip are one of the main reasons I stopped watching ESPN programming outside of live sporting events.

I'm going to go ahead and disregard what SAS says... he's in the business of making attention grabbing statements.

SAS thinks Antonio Brown plays for the Steelers.

Don't watch either of those clowns and couldn't care less what they say.........................but i'm full on BAS right now!!!!!

This x10
And multiple journalists, both in the sports and political realms are molotov throwers for this reason.

He hates the Cowboys and his bits about them are greatness

Unpopular opinion: If Sumlin was still here we would be looking at the same record. That's not a knock on Jimbo or an endorsement of Sumlin. It's just a reflection of our schedule and the team we have.

Now if we're still trying to scrape 7-5 or 8-4 seasons 2 years from now we should be worried.

I love how someone somehow interjected panic mode into the world of competitive sports. Just deal with it. No panic needed. Emotions, feels, etc. make it stop.

I think this is a popular opinion. all of our games this year are against two ends of the spectrum: struggling/non P5 programs or top 10 teams.

Let's wait until the season unfolds. We are definitely 7-5 last year with Sumlin and possibly 6-6 with him. We went 9-4 with a tough schedule. This is an even tougher schedule and Sumlin doesn't go bowling with it. Will Jimbo? We will see.

But you are a sip troll

We would have been blown out against Clemson with Sumlin. Something like 59-0. Or maybe even have blown a 30+ point 2nd half lead.

Not sure how I'm a sip troll. Sorry I don't go around saying, don't care got Jimbo and all is well. If you don't have concerns about our team, then you don't have a very high football IQ

The "worse than most of Sumlins seasons" comments is extraordinarily ignorant and just misinformed media talking heads.

Sumlin was trending worse and worse throughout his tenure. The further removed from Johnny, Evans, and Mike Shermans offensive line, the worse we got. Both on the field, and on paper in recruiting. This is by far a tougher schedule than any sumlin had to top that off. He wouldn't go any better than 6-6 this year and could have missed a bowl game. He wouldn't have closed 2018 as strong nor recruited as well in 2019 so we wouldn't be as talented moving forward, either.

This was always a rebuild type of year. Now, I expected to be playing a little better offensively, but at the end of the day 8-5 or 9-4 were always the most reasonable predictions for this season. This wasn't our breakthrough year. Was never realistic.

I mean, I have concerns, but what will me being concerned accomplish? We're 1.25 years through a 10-year deal. *****ing and whining to TexAgs and posting self-defeatist **** the way you do won't really do much of anything, will it?

It definitely won't accomplish anything. I'm just surprised by the amount of the this is fine attitude. I have faith in Jimbo and hopefully he will pick it up on the recruiting trail and get some more talent and speed in here soon.

Panic mode? Shoot, this is Texas A&M. This is our normal.

DID HE SAY IT WAS.......TIME TO PANIC......IN A LOUD VOICE WITH.........NUMEROUS PAUSES IN.........THE MIDDLE OF SENTENCES?

Hoping texags doesn't represent a majority of our fan base. Being trolled by media and watching texags posters take the bait every time is hard to watch.

I don't listen to him for ANY reason.

He plays a role as an actor on television. While I think he knows the NBA really well, he self-admittedly doesn't follow college football.

DID Y'ALL HEAR WHAT ROME SAID ABOUT A&M?!

(Most Ags don't get this reference anymore. #lolold )

If we were to go into panic mode I wonder what it would look like? Wev'e changed conferences , raised and spent incredible $ on the facilities and the program, hired a top flight coach with a national championship on his resume'. There's nothing much left to do except see how it unfolds.

Smith's probably just pissed cuz A & M fired his buddy.

Stephen ******* Smith isn't worth the air he breathes.

How he has followers I'll never know. Sheep need to be lead I guess.

He's terrible. I quit watching espn because the lack of knowledgeable reporters > the staff.

Finebaum will tell it like is ..,even if you don't like it

You stop it! You stop it right now with your well thought-out, lucid statements. Only diaper-soiling titty babies post here.

Pretty sure that loon doesn't have any other mode.

SAS thinks Kellen Moore (OC for cowboys) replaced Chan Gailey as OC... The guy is an ass clown

Stephen A Smith is a spineless coward that hides behind the color of his skin- using it as cover to deflect any criticism of himself and his stupid arse takes.

I'm a student, and I'm intrigued. Do explain.

He is so freakin overpaid

If Jimbo was black, SAS would not have made any comment.

Hmmmm....although SAS and Finebaum are saying different things, probably a majority of texags posters either think the same thing as one of them now.

There have been several "This team will be 7-5 threads on here" with plenty of "we're fine" type of responses.
