OP recap was a bit harsh.... for those that didn't hear it, a bit more balanced observation:
- Bob & Corby were starting with OU/Texas recap and Joel steered them to our game
- Corby: "Texas [state] was the center of the college football world on Saturday."
- JK: "Well, College Station was center of college football - just ask A&M fans, they'll tell you they are"
- Laughter among all (3)
- Bob: "Yeah, I've really never seen that out of a fanbase before" - i.e. Aggies really think far too much of themselves
So, yeah, right out of the gate shots are being taken. I was a little surprised & thought it was unwarranted. And for the record - I've never met an Aggie or Aggie football fan that thinks we're at the top. Most of it is self-loathing for all the missed opportunities and misspent resources....
Anyway - JK negatives for A&M:
- #1 reason Bama lost was due to the fact that Sark is HC in Austin; had he been calling plays would've been different outcome
- Bama defense is not what it was
- Bama execution was poor
JK positives for A&M:
- Played very well when no one gave them a chance; especially Calzada
- A couple of 3rd & 3's early for Bama when they passed - thinks Tide coaching staff realized (during game prep) they wouldn't be able to run on short-yardage vs. Ags F7
- Ranked A&M 6th at start of the year - rather than this being a fluke - thinks is more like the team everyone thought we would have
Overall, I thought he was fair. The early dig was unnecessary but... whatever.
