OMG...WHAT is It ?

One party's ideal candidate for the US Senate. Isn't that amazing?

Just win baby. F the spread.

Again, our depth is questionable. We have a tough remaining schedule. Unless we can run the table, nothing else matters. Jimbos focus is doing whatever possible to run the table.

Jimbo also knows that a lot must go right to run the table, but that an 8-2 season cold take recruiting to the next level.

Anyways, we are not in a position to worry about style points from the polls.

This was my first game at Kyle Field this season and the first time I watched an Arkansas game in person. We have won 9 consecutive games against Arkansas. Before yesterday's 42-31 win, 5 of our previous 6 wins were by 7 points or less, including overtime wins in 2014, 2015, and 2017. It was disappointing to watch our defense allow 461 total yards (239 passing and 222 rushing) and 31 points, but I am happy with another double-digit SEC win.

Jimbo Fisher is now 8-2 in home SEC games, including 4-2 against SEC West teams. By contrast, Kevin Sumlin went 8-14 in SEC home games, including 3-12 against SEC West teams. Unless we win out, style points are not going to matter. Our toughest remaining game is the season finale at Auburn on 12/5. An 8-2 season would be good enough for second in the SEC West and a NY6 bowl appearance, which could take recruiting to the next level.

No coach is concerned with covering, they don't even know what the spread is......

Is he concerned about uncovering???

Arkansas knows they lost by more than 11 points. We owned them.

I was in a casino in Vegas on Saturday. Literally one person cheered when Arkansas scored their last TD, he was the only one who took the Hogs plus 11.5.

Jimbo had us up 42-17 late in the 3rd. He then went into clock mode and wasted as much time as possible. It's a boring way to finish, but we got the win. If Sumlin could've done this against UCLA, his time here might have ended very differently.

Jimbo is 18-13 ATS as the Aggies head coach -- so there's that.

Arkansas is the only 5-0 ATS team in the country. So, there's that too.

Coaches don't give a rat's ass about the point spread. I think it was Peter King who told a story about meeting Don Shula for the first time and telling him how he lost a bunch of money on a Shula coached game. Shula replied that they won the game. When King told him they won but didn't cover the spread Shula lost his mind thinking that someone would give points in a game when the coaches and players are only playing to win the game. That may be old school thinking, but Jimbo is certainly old school.

I would be far more concerned if a coach did consider the point spread. It's a lot easier to throw a game or shave points on the team that you control. That's not a temptation that I want my team's coach to deal with.

Several days and two pages and not one person is ribbing OP over "Jumbo" Fisher?

It's like people who spell paid as 'payed', some mistakes are so constant and just aren't worth the taking the time to correct.

Sumlin has lost control of Jimbo's point spread concern

The one that always gets me is how many people misspell loser as "looser".

Is Jumbo related to Dumbo and just wants his kids to fly? Maybe play better defense to close out a game would be most helpful.

That MJ Hegar was a scary proposition in Tx and John C had the fight of his political career to beat her (she had more big money out of state backing than anyone in Texas....dem party, entertainers, movie actors, pro athletes all pouring money into her coffers). Too many non-Texans now living here (read 10M over last 20 yrs) to chase jobs created in a capitalistic state, but will eventually turn this state blue unfortunately with dem agendas. Strange days indeed.

He did finish, the game did end. We won!

And good for Iimbo.

This is the Zoo, take your politics elsewhere.

Can't tell if serious...

meh, as my grandad used to say "...consider the source..". Based on the post content, probably wouldn't help him.

I thought this was about masks/face coverings!
