I don’t think race plays much of a role with the Heisman. I DO think it plays some role in the size of the collective sports media boner for Tebow, as versus the much smaller boner that popped up for VY.

Seems like the 4.7 he ran was on a slow track in borrowed shoes, according to a bunch of other recruiting boards. He has also run quite a few 4.5s and rally fast 10.4 100s.. And he is a legit 6′1″ and 200 lbs. Sounds like a receiver to me.

Sad to say I agree. This was a terrible, mindless hire and we are going to be irrelevant for some time. If the defense hadn’t been opportunistic (meaning they caught the ball when it was thrown directly to them), we probably would have lost this one as well.
And Sherm does need a makeover. Badly. Unfortunately, the only 5 well-groomed homosexuals that will come to visit him this season are the Yell Leaders.

Johnson showed me something on Saturday. He showed me he is 2 years younger than McGee. That alone is enough to start building for the future with him. He also avoided pressure well and made a lot of good decisions against a blitzing defense. He threw a few away that should have been, he completed passes when he should have. Give him all the 1st string repetitions and start him against Miami.

Jerrod gets the start in my book, mostly based on the fact that our o-line is abysmal and he has a natural ability to scramble and avoid sacks.
And articles like this won’t be necessary every week will they? You knew we were going to suck. We knew we were going to suck. There really isn’t a reason to keep revisiting this :)

I know most of you don’t give a rat’s ass, but you gotta feel for the guy. He didn’t have the kind of career his sophomore season hinted at, but he had his moments. Sad to see his career capped off that way.

a&m this year is showing that fran actually may have maxed out on the mediocre talent he was stuck with in aggieland. unless the ags improve quite a bit, i do not see them winning any more games this year aside from army. baylor will enjoy beating the ags this year and futre years to come. whoever the big shots are that are actually running the aggie program, they should be rounded up, tard and feathered, and yhen shot. their incompetence is astounding. in an era where all the other teams in the b12, including historic the bottowdwellers, are improving, only the ags seem as if they are being left behind, as if they are determined to go backwards while everyone goes forward and passes them up, now even including baylor.

well he sure as hell hasn’t been helping and if he had anything to do with the disaster that was that scuzzy flake callahan then you sir have all the right in the world to be bitter and vengeful, but as far as a&m is concerned, i do not think all the blame can be laid at his feet. no what has been going on at a&m was happening long before he got there. the problem with a&m as i see it is that they are so obsessed with keeping up with texas that they are blinded and they keep making irrational, senseless, and boneheaded decisions. a&m instead should be playing to its own inherent strengths of which it has many and build up from there after laying a solid foundation. one would think that the aggie big wigs would know better than to react in big business decisions out of childish jealousy, but i guess not. for example those duffuss heads should have made the less headline grabbing hire of art briles instead of sherman, even though the sherman did not exactly light the world on fire either. in my opinion, briles would have been a much better fit at a&m than sherman. now just watch, i am telling you guys, from now on to the near future, baylor will be beating a&m on a consistent basis and it is just going to be a laugh riot for the rest of the conference.

Word up here is that one of the conditions of Byrne sneaking off to A&M was that they had to hire coach Fran. He’s been a problem for you even before he was a problem for you. He bankrupted our football facilities to try to win that all sports trophy. Please accept our condolences.

“…from now on to the near future, baylor will be beating a&m on a consistent basis…”
That is a pretty bold statement, especially considering near distant and distant history. Everyone else on the Big 12 Southside may kick our ass, but Baylor? Baylor has not been able to succeed since the Big 12’s creation. You think that’s because they hadn’t hired Art Briles? It’s not. It’s because they are at a fundamental disadvantage due to being the lone private institution in a division full of large public schools. The gap between Baylor and A&M - arguably the next best, or should I say worse, team in the B12 South - has very little to do with the coaches.
So, even using your assumptions - and right now all they are is assumptions - the Briles and Sherman hires are not going to change much in the Baylor v. A&M match up.
I am not Dollar Bill’s biggest fan, but his coaching hires at A&M on the whole have been strong…strong enough to give his most recent big hire more than two games and six months before writing him off. You should consider doing the same.
HenryJames said:

A&M is 20-1-1 against Baylor since 1986. Now there’s probably a better chance that winning percentage goes down rather than up in the next few years, but I still don’t foresee Baylor being much of a threat to A&M.
steven said:
September 8th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
Assumptions? Whats wrong with assumptions? When attempting to foresee the future that is all we really have to go on after all. Of course some assumptions are better than others. I would say that from the present my assumption that Sherman will be, at best, no better than mediocre would have higher odds to come true than your assumption, ‘01Ag, that he could turn the aggie program around. He probably will not even measure up to Franchione. The aggies look absolutely dreadful this year and I mean literally one or two wins dreadful and quite of bit of the blame has to fall on Sherman’s shoulders -so much for being great gameday coach, thats out the window. Also he does not seem to be a great recruiter either and he has not exacty excited the fanbase and potential recruits -so much for being able to inspire or to out charm other recruiters. And will you all be singing a different tune after Baylor whips up on the Ags this year? Cause from what I can see, Baylor already seems to be the better team this year. Basically, Baylor did not so much catch up to the Aggies as much as the Aggies fell to Baylor’s level or below. And if Baylor is already at the same level as the Aggies this year, do you think the Aggies will be able to outpace the Bears while Briles is at the helm there? I don’t see it happening. Briles has already excited the fanbase at Baylor and I suspect that he has already excited potential recruits as well. He also has potential superstar in his freshman QB who even as a true fish is more exciting and frankly better than anything A&M has. You don’t think potential recruits aren’t going to be excited to play with a player like that? Now I do not know about Byrne’s other hires, but it seems pretty clear that he screw up on his most important one and he possibly did so twice. Briles had the potential to be another Gillespie, except a football version of him, if A&M had just gone ahead and done the obvious and hired him. Both he and Mr. Clyde come from small towns, worked there way up from the bottom, have life long Texas connections and are innovative in their field and this happens to excite young recruits.
As far as the institutional advantages or disadvantages are concerned, I believe that at least in the short run they can be overcome by just plain having a better and more attractive coach. As important as those instiutional things are, if those considerations were the end all and be all then how could anyone explain A&M’s slide to the cellar of the B12 given all its supposed advantages. It is not too unrealistic to think that Baylor will become what Tech is to A&M today, odds are that at least this season, the Ags lose to Baylor and that fish QB for Baylor is only going to get better and better, so good luck trying to beat in the future as well.
