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.
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.
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.
I think that was less complaining about the suspension as much as it was pointing out how completely hypocritical the NCAA is. Gold star for you. I realize that only getting a 1/2 game suspension in a game Johnny was probably only going to play one half anyway is a great deal in exchange for the NCAA going away.
Clowney, Bridgewater, Boyd, Lee, etc all have mass signings that have been certified (though none as much as Johnny). I wonder when they'll get their 1/2 game suspensions.
Looks like Manziel will be suspended for the first half of the Rice game this Saturday under the by law that states you shouldn't knowingly sign autographs for someone that will profit off of them even if you don't, or whatever [expletive] it says. I guess everyone is agreeing to it to let the NCAA save at least a little bit of face and to also get them off Johnny's back.
From the "I'll believe it when I see it" file...Rumor is that the A&M Athletic Department has a signed affidavit from one of Darren Rovell's main "sources" admitting that he was paid to say that Manziel took money in exchange for signing autographs and supposedly the NCAA is calling off their investigation.
I hope he gets reminded of that daily. Something tells me Rice is going to get punished for all this offseason nonsense on 8/31. I'd bet the over in that game, whatever it is.
You think all Asian players are Japanese? This guy is a Choo. I don't have anything against the Chooish people. I like General Tso's chicken. nice work
