A&M's season is really gonna follow the exact same arc it did in 2014 huh

This is what I was trying to say last week. ASU was vastly overrated to start the season because Todd Graham talked up the team well and a lot of people jumped on the ASU bandwagon but given that Todd Graham only jumps off the wagon (and onto another) you'd think people would have learned by now...

MAC is currently 1-4 vs. the B1G, upcoming games:

NIU @ OSU
Kent @ Minnesota
BG @ Purdue
CMU @ MSU
Ohio @ Minnesota
WMU @ OSU
Ball State @ N'Western

Only likely win for the MAC out of those is BG vs. Purdue, and Ohio and Ball State could possibly catch Minnesota and Northwestern in trap games.

Don't think there's a trap game when Northwestern plays Ball State UNDER THE LIGHTS

Connor Mitch separated his shoulder and will be out 4-6 weeks. Given that and his lackluster performance up until that point, it's very possible the Mitch era is over before it really began. Perry Orth will start against Georgia and I imagine Lorenzo Nunez will be getting plenty of snaps as well -- he's the most physically gifted QB we have and we burned his redshirt. He's incredibly raw, so I figure he'll mostly replace Pharoh Cooper as the Wildcat guy.

Last year we didn't get any of our young/backup quarterbacks snaps, which obviously was an issue. This year, they'll get all the snaps they could want and then some. Definitely a rebuilding season.

You've got it all wrong you're supposed to put in your fresh QB in a game at the other Columbia and come back 24 points or something to win.

Arkansas injury report is not looking as bleak as expected (or it is and Bielema is trying to play mind games), and they are expecting or hoping for everyone except for Keon Hatcher to be able to play Saturday.

There are a couple that did not look serious that I believe like Liddell and Harris. I didn't even know Walker was injured except that he just stopped getting the ball in situations I thought he should. I'm surprised to hear that Hawkins is back after being carted off the field. Looked like a horse collar and possible cervical injury but glad to hear it wasn't. I will be surprised if he plays. Kirkland had an arm injury and I wondered if he had an elbow dislocation though I guess you could play with that after it was reduced. Hatcher was a surprised because there was no indication that he was even injured and now they are talking about red shirting him. So, our top receiver and rusher are now out before we even get into league play.

So I didn't say anything last week because it was mostly based on speculation over some tweets, but it seems semi-official now that Chris Clark (freshman, ranked as the #2 TE in last year's class) has left the team. He apparently is having a lot of issues getting used to college and didn't even travel with the team to Vegas this past weekend, spending it instead back home in New Jersey. Mora and the team have been pretty quiet on details about what's going on, but it sure looks like he'll be transferring out.

Mack would actually be a pretty good AD, but think if you're Charlie Strong that'd be a weeeeeeeee bit uncomfortable.

Of course, I think this only intensifies the pressure on Strong to begin with and I wouldn't be completely surprised to see him leave at the end of the season.

I really like Strong and I am not sure he is a terrible fit, and he could definitely develop the program given time. A really good OC would have helped, though. I would like to think Mack would make a great AD and also would be mostly supportive of Strong, but it would absolutely be weird for both.

He had a good OC. Like Watson was incredibly successful at Louisville.

I think the problem for Strong is exactly what I said would doom him when they hired him: he does not have the personality you need to be a coach at Texas. Texas needs basically a guy like Mack who likes to hang out with the boosters and talk tot he media. Strong just wants to coach football and be left alone.

Short of something like a 2-10 season, there is basically no way Strong gets fired after year two. He may well be going in to a do-or-die third year with his staff still not sorted out, though.

Mack as AD would definitely be an improvement over Patterson, but ideally I would prefer someone who has actually been a college AD before. Still, talk about a night and day difference in terms of understanding how UT politics work and general glad-handing ability. I can't believe we passed on Luck for Patterson against the advice of our search committee. Would've loved to have him here, but that ship has sailed now.
