Sorry, tsa. I thought I'd actually post something that had to do with football, and might breed decent discussion. That did happen once upon a time on this board.

i saved a bunch of money by switching my car insurance to geico?

seriously there are a few on that list i'd question. especially that kid from cal who is on the 2nd team rb

Anyone know anything about the sophomore linebacker from florida? I find it hard to believe he'd be there ahead of Alexander or Harris.

fran

Key word..."rivals" all-america team. No bias there at all.

sodium never heard of him. also check out reddick from miami. dunno about that one either. a lot of big name players from around the country missing from there

Congratulations on your moral victory, which apparently consists of nothing more than the opinion of some clown named "Chris Wallace" who nobody has ever heard of.

I guess when you're t.u., preseason accolades is pretty much all you have to look forward to, since you are consistently exposed as underachievers as soon as the ball is teed up.

I think that Reggie should be ahead of VY simply based on pure QB performance. I am not trying to start a VY vs. RM thread, just think that he should be 2nd team AA.

Sigh.

First, I'm not claiming any victory, moral or otherwise. If I were, I would say something like "Texas has X players on latest All-American list." In reality, I was just presenting the info in order to generate semi-objective discussion.

Secondly, Chris Wallace, whom you apparently are unfamiliar with, is an editor for rivals. This is not his opinion, but the collective opinion of all the rivals100 contributors.

Thirdly, your last statement is pretty humorous, since Texas accomplished more last season than A&M has in the past 65 years. We lost all of one ballgame to a team we were supposed to lose to... interesting definition of underachieving... almost perfectly meeting the preseason expectations. Other things besides preseason accolades that Texas fans look forward to: double-digit win totals, top 10 and top 5 finishes, BCS Bowl victories, etc.

t.u. accomplished nothing but a third place conference finish... parade worthy for a nutless bovine, but nothing to DADDY A&M... every year we do not win a title is a dissappointment. We demand more.

You said yourself you didn't know who he was, and now you think you can judge his understanding of college football? If you honestly think this is only his opinion, then you don't understand how rivals works. The national guys never release anything as "The Official Rivals.com ____" unless it is a collaboration.

And a BCS bowl victory, something A&M has never been good enough to win. You used to brag about how A&M had simply made a BCS bowl, even though they lost, and now winning one is no big deal. Your hypocrisy is simply astounding, even for an aggie. I never said the season was or wasn't a disappointment, but as far as whether or not it was an underachievement, we achieved more than most people thought we would... and finished ranked almost exactly where we were projected to. Thus, by definition, we did not underachieve.

Mr. Hicks is a glaring omission.




GOATS WILL NOT BE PROVIDED, YOU MUST FURNISH YOUR OWN GOAT.

You just told me who he was dumbass: an editor. That's what, slightly above journalist, and still somebody who's never worn a jock.

BCS bowl win?!?? HAHAHAHAHAHA!! You beat a team that wasn't even in the top 10, and only by a point. Big F^#%ing deal. Talk to me when you actually WIN something, like McDumbass' first title ever.

If it's no big deal than how come A&M has never been good enough to win one? And I never said it was a great accomplishment... just more than A&M has done since 1939.

I could give a **** less about preseason polls...preseason ranking, etc.. But, I guess it's like Coach Royal once said..Preseason polls are like a beauty contest, if you get invited, you'd like to place first.

The nutless bovines are always the ugliest ones there.

he's got several Big 12 South titles -- doesn't A&M claim those as titles?

We've won multiple conference titles in the past 65 years. We've beaten OU the multiple times in the past 65 years. There's 2 things you didn't do last year.

Not true. Texas did that in 1984. Only 21 years, you stupid Okie.

No, finish in the top 3. Which your whorns haven't done since 1972. Thanks for playing, Spanky...

Get humiliated in the MNC game? Nope, that was 1978. 27 years.

Give up 50 points in a bowl game? Nope, that was 1985. 20 years.

Have players visibly quit during a game? Nope, that was 2 years ago.
