Mike The Tiger vs. Reveille

by Sailor Ripley on Jan 7, 2011 6:36 PM CST in Texas Longhorns and Other Football

Your open thread for the Cotton Bowl.

Fear The Hat.

Also, is Lester a Michigan Man? Does Bo Pelini want to one? Or does Bo want to go back to Baton Rouge? Is this mostly an excuse to pay homage to the LSUFreek?

lsufreek bo pelini and les miles lebwoski

Lastly, the men of Spence Park Soapbox offered their thoughts here.

Anyone know a stream? I can only find Delaware v. E. Washington. Joe Biden is in the commentator’s booth

Jesus Christ, Pat Summerall is upright. And looking spiffy I must say.

Not the best quality though. It’s what I’m watching it on right now.

Thanks. I tried that link… for some reason it didn’t work in firefox but working in chrome for me.

I missed the Lyle Lovett segment, but in his defense, he is awesome.

Moose calling the game? Didn’t expect that.

Moose looking sharp. Kenny Albert, uh, he uh, he’s Marv’s son. Albert looks like a mortician.

I love how Desoto is a feeder school yet Cyrus no es good enough for us.

Tannehill will have an NFL career.

What is this “Zone Read” scheme that Moose talks about?

Hell of a throw there

by Mister Mike on Jan 7, 2011 8:08 PM CST reply actions

LSU’s four possessions so far — interception inside Aggie 5 — touchdown, touchdown, touchdown.

Amazing what being able to block at the point of attack can do for your offense.

Has Les tried to eat the grass yet?

by CrazyJoeDavola on Jan 7, 2011 9:21 PM CST reply actions

Les: a results or process guy ? Just along for the ride?

I want to shake Moffit’s hand.

by triplehorn on Jan 7, 2011 9:24 PM CST reply actions

Our offense is doing better than I expected, but that last interception was a killer. The D is getting worn down and we’ll need some turnovers in the 2nd half to get back in it.

Les is a Mannix guy.

Also: Fudgsicles.

A&M dominated half time. Never lost one…

by gabeshorn on Jan 7, 2011 9:57 PM CST reply actions

gabeshorn, I agree.

It has been an exciting game.

LSU has more Jimmys and more Joes.

Aggies have a staff and a plan. Looking forward to possibly joining them.

by Sailor Ripley on Jan 7, 2011 11:06 PM CST reply actions

hey, let’s be real here. the ags did win the 4th qtr. had the game been only 18 quarters just like that one longer, they would have dominated the tigs.

by hopefully on Jan 7, 2011 11:21 PM CST reply actions

Hopefully, we got beat because they were a better team. Losing Hodges hurt, but we were never going to win giving away long TD passes. Our D is better suited to the spread offenses of the B12-2 than the SEC grind it out types. We had too many interceptions and no safety help on the deep throws. If they played a bad game and we played over our heads we could have won. That said hats off to the Mad Hatter. Maybe he’ll go to Michigan and make RichRod look good.

more tongue in cheek than cheek, kt. just a nod to the old ‘we ran out of time’ saw.

A&M may have faced a disappointing loss tonight, but they keep several important streaks alive. Such as:

1) for the 10th straight year, A&M has maintained their streak of not winning a bowl game. they are, however, still the reigning galleryfurniture.com bowl champions.

2) A&M has now secured 12 consecutive seasons without 10 wins. impressive.

3) A&M continues its streak of 24 straight years of not winning a Bowl game played after New Year’s Day. Congrats!

4) A&M continues to have only 5 Bowl wins all-time after New Year’s Day. This keeps the math easy for our farmer friends as these wins can still be counted on one hand. Very underrated streak.

5) with the loss, A&M moves up to 3rd worst in bowl winning percentage all-time for teams that have been to at least 30 Bowls (.406). They are topped only by our other friends at Arkansas (.355) and Texas Tech (.367). Note: Tech has played in more bowl games than A&M

6) Atm now has a 5 game Bowl losing streak, losing by 31, 35, 7, 24, and 17. They have also lost 9 of their last 10 and 12 of their last 14. Their 2-12 record over the past 20 years is the most futile bowl performance of any team, all time over a 20 year period (amongst teams that qualified in at least 10 of the 20 years).

So, not all is lost.
