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...

Some key quotes:

Draft-eligible Aggies tried to impress scouts Wednesday in College Station.

I just want to make the NFL aware that I am also draft eligible.

As is His Holiness, Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet.

Most of you are draft eligible as well. Unless you flee to Canada.

But there wasn’t a ton of attention, given that no A&M football player was invited to the recent NFL combine.

Oh. Neither was I. Is that like, a call, a letter, what? Because my Verizon has been f'ed up.

There were representatives from nine teams on hand to watch 17 Aggies run, jump and go through other agility drills.

First of all, if the Aggies are just randomly running and jumping, I'm starting to see the disconnect. The NFL demands discipline. They're not drafting kittens.

To hell with your joi de vivre!

Second, is it credible to count the GM from the Toronto Argonauts and a confused scout from Tottenham Hotspur among the nine present?

Thirdly, there are 30 teams in the NFL.

Nine showed.

So, math.

So, holy %%^%@#%^.

I now provide this thread as a therapeutic safe haven for any Aggie readers that wish to rail against Dennis Franchione's recruiting.

And yet they basically abused our wunderkind DC and his charges.

Love to see your thoughts on that. That was a weird game.

Will this elicit a South 06 visit so he can show us his tampon?

Uh yeah. Fuck Fran with an AIDS riddled fist.

There isn’t one damn player on that list that isn’t immediately replaceable by a true frosh. Sherm might not be the guy, but this is the damning, lingering radiation of Franoshima.

Four days rest for each team hurt the defenses, IMO. Of course atm’s defense would have looked pretty close to that anyway.
Also, atm doesn’t quit against Texas like they do against every other team on their schedule. If Sherman could hypnotize them and convince them they’re playing Texas every week, they’d win 10 games a year.

I thought that was atm’s defense.

Oh, and, were you just ballparking it?

Thirdly, there are 30 teams in the NFL.

31. Ravens
32. Texans

I’ll comment on that game. The Ags didn’t quit because, unlike their customary curb-stomping against K-State and OU, they actually had some early success where they scored on a broken coverage. Secondly, no doubt, Jerrod Johnson was on fire. If he plays like that every game next year, the Ags are going to be tough to beat no matter what 3-legged mule Deyruter rolls out at DB.
