If A Stopwatch Clicks In The Woods…

...does anyone hear it? A&M pro day. I'm not one for kicking someone when they're down, but...

    “Hey, coach, it’s Bill.” “Uh, Bill who?” “Bill Byrne, coach, your Athletic Director?” “Oh, yeah, hey, how’s it going?”

Kudos & Criticism for the Aggies

Posted by Jeff Higgins on November 29th, 2009 under Football

Which was better for you and yours; the turkey and dressing or the thrill of the first competitive Longhorn game since the Red River Rivalry?

2009 Texas A&M Football Preview: State of The Union

Posted by Scipio Tex on August 27th, 2009 under Football

Forward, March, Hut, Two, Three, Four!

Aggie football players are a lot like the Aggie Corps of Cadets. Some of them are the real thing and deserve your respect, but most play dress up for four years pretending to be something they’re not and end up selling insurance in Tomball. Witness the perfect illustration of my point. West Point. While A&M's football team struggled to a 21-17 victory against an Army team that lost by 18

Big 12 Media Days: Day One

Posted by HenryJames on July 28th, 2009 under Football

Day one of the Big 12 Media Days is in the books, and no one from BC was in attendance. Again. Ripley promised us that he could make us some press passes, but his resulting work was, uh, lacking. Nice try, but Trips' first name is actually Rogelio. Nebraska's Bo Pelini was up first so here's the pdf of his interview. Excerpts: On the change in the team's mindset: You know, I felt when I first

It’s Baaaaaack!

Posted by Vasherized on July 9th, 2009 under Football

Sort of. Maybe. In other words, you might see the vaunted Wrecking Crew make a return to the gridiron this Fall. But nothing is guaranteed -- the Shermanator is just hoping it comes back. Here is Fightin’ Texas Aggies Head Men’s American Football Coach Mike Sherman, attempting to be optimistic and relevant, against all odds: The Wrecking Crew may or may not return this Fall. Luckily for the Aggies, this clip can't be embedded but here is

Pirates vs. Narcoleptics: Round 2

Posted by Doperbo on May 1st, 2009 under Football

No, it's not the Stanley cup finals. Though if you think about it, The Narcoleptics would be an awesome name for a hockey team. Maybe put then in Nassau for the alliteration. Or Nashville. In fact if you fielded an entire team of narcoleptics I'd probably pay to watch hockey. The occasional random syncopal episode and ensuing ruckus of crashing bodies, flailing sticks, and mullets all-akimbo would certainly heighten the intensity. What are we

Mike Sherman Lashes Out

Posted by Scipio Tex on March 8th, 2009 under Football

I appreciate this opportunity to make my voice heard. I want to address some of the false concerns that have been aired about me and do so in a forthright monotone manner. There are some who say I don't have an identifiable personality. I don't know how to react to that criticism other than to look at that person without expression and unblinking eyes, take off my eyeglasses,

Sherman’s Shambles at College Station

Posted by EyesOfTX on October 20th, 2008 under

I know we have a few Aggie regulars here, so apologies to you guys, but I just find this to be amazing... In this week's Sagarin ranking system, Texas A&M ranks 110th. Ahead of the Aggies in the rankings are... No fewer than 12 1-AA schools ( or whatever that division is called nowadays), including such traditional powers as Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, William and Mary, and Wofford; Louisiana Lafayette and Louisiana Tech; No fewer than 7 teams from the State

Your Big 12 Football Primer, Friend-o

Posted by Scipio Tex on October 2nd, 2008 under Football

This is the segment in which a cattle gun is placed against my head by Anton Chigurh and I'm told to call it. I have to pick every game, even the ones I feel aren't subject for righteous divination. I'm much better at picking winners than handicapping, but Anton has no pity. The lines this week suck so flipping a coin is probably my best bet, but nonetheless....
