Hoping for a good game - from an Aggie

[SMU89]

why they play the game

[AgKJ]

looking at the aggie board, they firmly believe that our defense is horrible and will not be able to stop the aggie juggernaut, as evidenced solely by the aggies noting that we lost our bowl game. also, they tend to downplay our o-line being able to stop their pass rush.

they pretty much want nothing to do with any arguments that are contrary.

Ha, that's TexAgs for you. Around this time of year, the maroon Kool-Aid is ALWAYS flowing pretty heavily, but especially this year since we had such a magical ride at the end of 2010.

I am predicting that we go 8-4 this year, and most of them want to lynch me for it (the majority is predicting 10 wins minimum, and a ton of guys are alredy penciling us in for the National Championship game).

Like I mentioned earlier, I've been around A&M football way too long to go that far. Plus my opinion is that Von Miller single-handedly won 3 of our games last year, so without him we would have been another 6 win team. So nothing will surprise me.

We're also notoriously slow-starters - both on a season level and within a game. So if you guys get us on our heels early, it could go either way. If we get up early and keep the ball away from your offense, I like our chances.

Good discussion!
