aTm's OC Jake Spavital is going to be a hot commodity for a head coaching spot.

The only thing A&M has shown so far is that they are a middle of the league team in the SEC. As far as recruiting goes, Alabama has had the #1 class since 2011. Last year A&M had the #5 class, but Alabama and LSU were #1 and #2. Right now A&M has the #5 class, but there is also Georgia, SC, and Alabama ahead of them. A&M has a lot of hype because they are johnny come lately, it seems like everyone has grown tired of Nick Saban winning championships. Also Mizzou's boring spread beat A&M last year. Boring old LSU destroyed them. A&M is flashy and fun, but the SEC West is a grind.

I am confused. The conversation is about Texas A&M this year, not last year. I personally think they have shown very much improvement. They play in the toughest conference in the country so who knows where they will finish but they are a better team than last year.

A senior who was way down on the depth chart probably would have barely seen the field. So he gets mad and calls his coach a racist and complains he was treated like a slave. What a load of BS.

I said Mizzou runs a spread just like aTm which is not a boring offense. aTm will win the SEC West sooner than later imo. Once you get in the top 10 in recruiting not much seperates the teams talent wise imo so then it is about coaching. Again, I believe aTm will represent Texas well in the SEC. That's what I am saying to some degree. I like that Garrett kid from aTm. As a freshman he was another that looked good.

Fair enough, guess I have just gotten worn down by the cult A&M fans, and their conviction A&M is going to be the greatest team in the history of football. I am sure in their minds Johnny Football won them a national championship last year.
