Alex Collins is a beast but the A&M defense is a hot mess. Mark Snyder needs get this defense to respectability quickly or we could be in trouble. This D could make Bo Wallace looks like a great QB.
-
Ha. I guess Brandon Allen is playing after all.

Yikes. Arkansas is in deep [expletive]. Our OL is as good, if not better, than last year's. And that was very, very good. I've heard Allen is starting at QB so I imagine we'll load up the box to slow down the run and dare him to throw on us. I imagine that is the strategy of every team going forward against Arkansas. If Allen is indeed healthy and starting then the Hogs have a chance to keep it somewhat close. Hatcher (#4) is pretty good at receiver. My favorite player on the team is Kiero Small at FB. He is a bad MFer one man wrecking crew as a lead blocker. If we can get 4 yards a carry and mix in some play action it might be interesting for awhile. My bad, I thought Allen was the backup.

As a Razorback fan, let me tell you that this will happen and it will be a slaughter. Our starting QB is probably still out this week and the backup is dreadful, like it's as if he's never seen an actual football before dreadful. I am expecting something along the lines of 44-10. You have a couple of good RB's from what little I've seen. Our D is still shaky against the run, so I'd bet you'll put up more than 10. I also think we'll score more than 44, though. Wish I was making the trip to Fayetteville.

I think Nike/Adidas/Under Armour/etc are having a contest with each other to see who can get an FBS school to wear the stupidest uniform possible in a real game.

Friend in Chicago says he's hearing rumors of Girardi coming to replace Svuem. What are the chances on that happening? Will that even matter?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :bye:

WAT?

Upon further review it looks like we will be closer to 55%. Not quite as good as I originally thought. Good thing we split the tickets 3 ways.

Holy Hell, how did you pull that off? I'm impressed/jealous. I'm not really sure to be honest with you. Stubhub has been my main outlet, but not getting face value for the vast majority of those games. I typically end up pricing them near, or at the lowest price for my section. I have only had three games that I haven't sold. Having said that, some games may sell for 40-50% of combined face value. I try to just tell myself it is better than nothing. I was in town for one of the games against the Angels and tried selling a few games to the scampers outside by the El. They didn't really want go give me anything, and these were for Cardinals games. One guy offered me $30 total for the Thursday and Sunday game against the Cardinals. They both ended up selling on Stubhub for close to face value. I have sold a handful of games to some trusting people on Craigslist for face value earlier in the year. Man, good on you for being able to do that. I've had mine on StubHub as well and the face value usually hovers around $45-$60 each and it's a rare day when I can get $20 each. I don't have the exact numbers in front of me but I think we recouped about 60-65% of our bleacher seats. Of course we only have the nights & weekends package so that probably helped curb the losses a bunch.

Week 2: Vikings (0-1) @ Bears (1-0) Noon CT, Fox/780

Love me some Marty B. -
Ugh. What a [expletive] pile of games.
-
Yep. I didn't expect them to be great but even an average performance and we win the game. Manziel and Evans were in beast mode yesterday. Too bad 42 points and 600+ yards wasn't enough to beat Alabama.
-
Big 12 officials appear to have done the unthinkable and actually gotten worse. Poor TCU.
-
I feel about the same way about Alabama. The way A&M's defense is playing, Bama might drop 50 on them just to prove a point. That would be a lot of return touchdowns. A&M gave up four TDs to Sam Houston State (and not garbage-time ones either). They won't need return TDs. We still had 4 or 5 starters out on D and 2 of the TD's were big plays. The A&M defense is far from a juggernaut but it should be improved at full strength this Saturday. Besides it's not like Bama lit up VaTech either. So [expletive] stupid. I hope they 86 this idea. Looking forward to attending my first game of the season. Kyle Field should be rocking. Wish it was a night game.
-
No one's mentioning it because Manziel wasn't involved but we had a player ejected on a very questionable call too. Even the player he hit tweeted that it was a clean, hard football play.
-
Don't they have 5-6 regulars on D out today? 6 starters plus another backup were out on defense today. At one point I think we had 6 true freshmen in the front 7. That's a recipe for disaster. Our D should be good but only at full strength. We don't have much depth yet. We will need to play a LOT better to have a shot against Bama.
-
K-State fans must be counting down the days until basketball season.
-
Love that gif. And it reminds me to be thankful that the camera is never on me during A&M games. I'd hate to see the stupid [expletive] I do whenever we do anything, good or bad.
-
Is he the guy that blew a tackle in the backfield to allow the 3rd unanswered TD? Who said anything about monsters being good tacklers?
