Well we are ranked #7….

That thing reads like it was written by AI

Probably was. It's SI.

That article says 12-0 second best start in school history after 24-0 start by 2015 team, but is that accurate? Didn't a team in the late eighties or early 90's start 26-0?

To match that 24-0 start this team would have to sweep both Florida AND Miss State. No matter how good you are, trying to pull off that long of a win streak would be an extremely tough ask!

It's an Aggie fan blog… it really is proper. So might not be artificial ignorance…

The '89 team started the season 26-0.

Happy for the great start. SEC play is a meat grinder and will separate the good from the great.

Sports Illustrated is dead, as I understand it. Fired all their staff recently. Anytime you see someone linking an SI article, it seems that it's one of these.

But they set up FanNation blogs which might have interested parties writing copy.

You can interact with Cole Thompson via X and ask him.

Reposting from the Top 25 thread some discussion from the D1 podcast.

Go to about the 25 minute mark for discussion on A&M…

"If they're going to pitch competently… I'm all in. A&M feels like an absolutely legit Omaha team… Yeah, National titles are not out of the question if that's what's happening."

I was at the 26-1 game in Shreveport and we lost to a stacked OKlite team: Ventura, Beanblossom and Ortiz to name a few.

User name checks out.

It was a weekend tournament. The Dixie Classic. We beat NW St., Sw Louisiana before losing to OK St. in the last game.

We then went to Lubbock the next weekend and destroyed them by a combined 53-7. All 3 games were blowouts. Kept winning until we got to a 40-1 record before losing to the sips in game 1 of that series. Then the Byington magic the next day to take the series.

A tournament. Like we played last week. Like we play just about every year. Shreveport had what, at the time, was considered a nice minor league park.
