it only defies logic and reason if anything but winning it all is a let down to you. Many here would have called you a delusional crazy person if I said the ags go 11-1 in the regular season ( I don't tell you who we lose to) and make the playoffs but fall short by a touchdown to the NC finalist. There is plenty of reason to feel upset and disappointed about how that happened, but it's all fixable things and what happens when you get somewhere you really haven't been before. We haven't had those opportunities and need to learn as a program how to win those. Every single team has to do that, even Indiana got beat like a rented mule last year and had to learn.levytrousersEOY said:Teslag said:
We currently have the #3 ranked portal class, behind Indiana and Tech (teams that matter more than the sips since they made the playoffs).
Teams that matter more? You mean the ones the Ags almost definitely aren't playing next season?
I do not understand your above arguments. To stipulate that the ending of last season wasn't a let down defies all logic and reason.

texas losing their entire backfield and Parker Livingstone. 25 out and 15 transfers in. Will be interesting to see if they are upgrading or not.

How did they do against Texas?
In years 1 and 2, correct, they lost to Sarks 4th and 5th year teams after he built his program up. It sucks, and it doesn't take away from how much losing hurts, bragging rights, or any of that, but perspective matters. It's not a very fair comparison nor is it a reason to downplay what Elko has done in the portal thus far.
What he did in the portal was actually pretty outstanding. They hit on a ridiculous amount of their top targets at positions. Whether you believe it or not doesn't really matter, but they got their #1 overall CB, 2 of their top 3-4 OTs, either #1 or #2 LB, #1 S, one of their top 2-3 DEs, their 2nd WR, and 3 of the top 5/6 DTs they sought after on their boards. Even TE, they really only targeted about 3 guys and landed 2 of them. getting that many guys that far up your big board is a huge win. Hard to argue otherwise. We'll see what their evals look like next fall, but that's pretty insane, actually.
In addition, in the last five years, I'd say we probably had the 2nd or 3rd best year two of any new program behind only Indiana and maybe one other if you dig deep enough. The portal was a HUGE reason for that. Elko was able to add about 8-9 NFL draft picks from the 2024/2025 portal classes. All but Scourton were here for this season. Elko should have some serious trust when it comes to portal evaluations and where he's taken the program thus far. Need to get that next gear and close out a win at Kyle over texas, no doubts. But stop comparing everything to them. We play them once a year.

They added the #2 and #5 RB and lost #3. They have two very good ones at the top. Both a little smaller and may or may not be better than an Owens/Morrow combination. We'll see about the sec. For all the crap Owens takes, he would have been a 1000+ back in the big 12 last year.
Beyond that, I'm not sure what else they have. Their HS backs were guys we wouldn't have taken. Do they have a 5th?

so what's the truth then? Fire Elko? Please Mr beaver tell me with your great knowledge what's the truth? What an asinine outlook from you to not use logic. Yes teams and coaches have to learn how to win, the Cinderella story of just suddenly winning it all never happens. As I said, even Indiana couldn't do it year 1, jury is still out on year 2 as well atm. It's not pumping to speak the truth, but like I asked, what's your opinion on it then on great beaver boy.Justice Beaver said:Rosenthalmeatz12thman said:it only defies logic and reason if anything but winning it all is a let down to you.

Ah yes, there it is, "we just don't know how to win yet". A pumper classic.

You mean like Derrek Cooper, the 4/5 star RB from Florida (ESPN's #1 RB in that class) who Elko most definitely offered?
It takes like two seconds to google this stuff. It's nuts how people will just post with 0.0 effort to back it up.

lol so it's your contention Elko didn't "want" the best RB in Florida? Thats interesting. Good lord.

Cooper was rated as the 10th best RB and 99th ranked player in the country.
KJ Edwards was the 3rd best RB and 43rd ranked player the country.
Edwards committed to A&M prior to Cooper's commit to the sips and it's fair to say at that point Cooper's offer was no longer commitable.
Maybe you should do some of your own research first sip prior to calling others out.

The point is that the sips do not have a backfield devoid of talent, as many on here have suggested. Despite his inexplicable success against the Aggies, Wisner was never going to be their star/ bell cow back. He left because he knew Sark was going to try to upgrade his position this offseason- do you think the sips would have let him walk otherwise? They are throwing $ around like they just won the lottery. He was only playing due to injury. To think they didn't upgrade here is wishful thinking.

nobody would be saying it's devout of talent, just very thin plus smaller, even compared to us with younger guys making up the majority.levytrousersEOY said:Teslag said:levytrousersEOY said:beerad12man said:

Again, we ended our season going 3-1 (2-1 in the SEC) to qualify for a playoff spot and have one of our greatest seasons ever.
We then lost in the playoff. Unless we won the NC our run was going to end in a loss.
Again, all of these are facts. Cold hard fact. Not conjecture or interpretation.Quote:

Tech is a shoe in for the playoffs with their schedule. Indiana should reload and do well in the B1G. There's a decent chance we see one of these teams in the playoff next year.
