VY is the real deal. Simple as that.

But I have to give props to about 99% of the Ags on board here. I lurk more than I post. When I logged on, I expected to see a bunch of whining. But I was pleasantly surprised to see class. I should have expected no less from the greatest fans on earth. Makes me proud to be an Aggie and a transplanted Texan.

Rest assured Ags, we'll get our due. It may not be as soon as we expected or hoped for.

No we won't, we were set back 20 years!

Congrats to the Sips. They won a hard fought game and earned every bit of respect they deserve.

I'm happy for them.

Time to turn our attention inward and start holding our own coaches accountable for the dismal product they have put on the field for the last 3 years.

We'll take our consolation from our game on T + 1 that we gave tu their toughest game besides the national championship game, and thee only team to stop radio this season. Okay that didn't give me much consolation. Any other ideas?

I wouldn't say I"m happy for them. But I was impressed with the way they played. They wanted it more than USC, it was obvious in the 4th quarter that Young could do anything he wanted to that defense. I only hope I get to see the Ags play in a meaningful game like that sometime in the next 40 years.

We should drop the football program completely. It's obviously a lost cause....just ask DRK in every post he ever makes.

DRK - that makes no sense at all. Control your emotions man. Our recruiting the past 3 years has been as good as theirs. No, not as good this year, but not horrible either. The freshmen, redshirt freshmen and sophomores working out in the Bright complext this morning are not going to go away because tu won that game last night.

Let's play out next season. If we have a solid year, the impact of last night's game upon next years recruiting will be minimal.

Exactly what Oxbig said. Pretty much the way I feel about the whole thing.

We need to take note of the deciding factor in last night's game and apply it to our situation. IF USC just takes care of ITS business, the outcome of the game would have been different. They couldn't cut it on 4th and short so they lost....simple as that. How does that apply to us? Simple. We are all so worried about tu this and tu that, and how their win will/won't cripple our program, that we may lose sight of our need to take care of OUR business and let the chips fall where they may. We have numerous areas that we can improve in IN SPITE of anything that happens in Austin. Let's all quit trying to be them and just concentrate on being a better us. Just my opinion, but I'm sure getting tired about hearing the junk.

I agree. Congrats to the sips for a great season. They deserved what they got last night. But it is time to quit worrying about them and improve ourselves. Their Athletic Director made some decisions a LONG time ago to improve facilities and hire the very best coaches and it is evident in BB, football and baseball. I believe we are on a similar path, but it is in the early stages. We have some great coaches in place (Billy, Henry (track), Blair, and time will tell if Fran is one of them. But Byrne will not let us stay in mediocrity like Wally did. That is what Dodds did in Austin. It is a long building project and folks get impatient, but we are on the right path. tu went through the same frustrations we went through getting the right guys in place so this is the payoff in the end. Have some patience.

we got next.

Well said BBAg.

The top management of TAMU needs to concentrate on what it takes to win in all areas. The sips deserved to win in that game last night. They did what they were supposed to do and congrats to them. All of our other sports are on the right track. Our problem is Fran. I hope he can start coaching and get the players to PLAY FOR HIM.. That is the key

Ags need to focus inward and forget what tu is doing. Hold the football staff accountable and make necessary changes if required. Control what's controllable and forget tu.

we were set back before yesterday. but we can be a pretty damn good team next year and build from there.

don't know if we will, but we can.

we will not win a national championship in our lifetimes.

Well, Orlando, you might as well just go jump off a bridge somewhere.

Or just go away.

I’m tired of the incessant mooning about being set back 20 years or bashing our staff, players, and program. Support the A&M program, regardless of its state. You giving up on your school is like an athlete giving up on their team. Give it your all regardless and they will give it theirs.

Hell, who knows what may happen to the tu program in the future. Coaches might/will leave and go elsewhere to make more money, pull an OU where several of their players will go pro early, Mack can get hit by a mack truck and VY will have his legs broken in a game. Who knows what may happen. Just stay positive!

Happy New Year!

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

Get over it...

Losing to Baylor and getting blown out by ISU at Kyle hurts us more than tu winning the national title.

Nobody's abandoning the team. But anyone who thinks we are going to play for the MNC again is nuts. If anything, the team can play more relaxed with the lower expectations; nine wins is no longer a fireable offense, because no coach in the country could do better.

Orlando,

They might not win one in your lifetime, but I am going to see an Aggie MNC. With more comments like that, you might disappear before their next win.

Physics, go jump off a bridge you depressive *******.

Have faith in the Ags. All this 10 years stuff is nonsense. Root for your team or go home you babies.

And we will win the MNC in the next 10 years - mark my words.
