I figured it would be 17-20. Wow, I'm so smart.

Delightful. Year six and we're nearly three touchdown dogs to our "rivals" whom we supposedly "hope to emulate." That's progress right there. Maybe in another six years the line will be down to -12.

The TCU offense did not play that well against Tech. Should be a good game.

After AM game I was thinking -28 pts, ESPN has such high hopes for us.

TCU should cover that, we won't be pass on their lockdown secondary nor will we be able to stop them from running.

SMU caught an A$M team, that was going through the motions and emotionally flat. After a loss at Tech and having 16 days off, I doubt we get the same advantage against the frogs.

We have been competitive in games against TCU of late. Nothing guarantees that continues. TCU's offense didn't move the ball as well as SMU did against TTU. Our issue was red zone points.

WE can beat TCU. WE have to hold on to the ball better (those two fumbles were just poor ball handling by our players) and stop, stop, stop stupid penalties.

Ponyte I am onboard with you. I have not seen anything this season that makes me think we shouldn't be competitive against TCU and go steal one from them at home. Hopefully the team can clean up the mental mistakes and get their minds right for rivalry week and I hope everyone on this board shows a little bit more enthusiasm towards this game.

I won't be making this game, but will dam sure be watching it on-line and pulling for our boys. Go 'Stangs!

I disagree. A&M came out pumped and focussed and win the game in he first quarter. The second half and even the second quarter were strolls in the park but they came out with intensity that impressed me, the crowd were into it, and they seemed to be taking last weeks frustrations out on the Ponies. It was our lack of discipline and focus that really surprised me.

How can that still surprise you at this point?
