Aggies played well tonight. I doubt we'll see this version of the team every week, but it was nice to see them tonight nonetheless.

So if I'm the Big 12, I'm taking all my refs into a room and saying "do whatever it takes to keep TCU perfect" because if they drop a game the Big 12 is going to miss on the CFP for a 4th year.

I wouldn't bury OU or Ok State yet, if either runs the table all they probably need is an upset in the Pac 12 or Big Ten championship games.

That said, OU looks deeply flawed and doesn't seem likely to run the table. TCU ain't making it through unscathed either, though.

Enjoy this gem from the shaggy game thread:

"The crowd was lacking big time. Thought I was tuning into a high school game. Austin Millennials should be rounded up via pickup trucks with beer drinking rednecks and forced to scrub the guano poo poo from the stadium. I'm so tired of the "me" generation that my 17 year old son isn't allowed to look at his loving phone when he's at home. He has no Facebook account and I don't put up with any GD whining. It's their helicopter fag parents and liberals that created this touchy feely mess we have in Austin. A good war would change all of this imho."

helicopter fag parent. so what.

I hold no ill will towards Florida, but now I kind of hope the Aggies beat their rear end and shove them in a locker.

If we're on this topic here's a gem for you-

https://www.ksat.com/education/neisd-approves-new-name-for-robert-e-lee-high-school

In a contentious decision, San Antonio's Robert E. Lee High School has chosen to change its name to Legacy of Educational Excellence High School. That's right- the former Lee High School is now LEE High School. I love it.

Both sides are pretty unhappy.

The Yahoo pickem doesn't have anything to pick?

There are no lines this week because the oddsmakers had an existential meltdown after Iowa State beat Oklahoma. How can you assign odds to anything in a world where Trump is President and Iowa State beat OU in Norman?

edit: that article also reminded me that Jason White won a heisman. what a joke of an award.

Seems like a weird one to get upset about, Jason White was pretty drat good. Should Larry Fitzgerald have won? Yeah probably, but get real, it's the Heisman.

The Gators are somehow favorites to beat A&M.

Our best performance of the year is an 8 point loss to Bama; take that away and there's certainly no reason we should be favored on the road against even a mediocre Florida.

It's possible that Auburn is really good. There certainly seems to be some separation between them and the next 11 teams.

The Big 12 couldn't survive because Nebraska couldn't live with the idea of no longer being the center of power. And that's fine- I don't blame them, but I don't blame Texas either. Texas didn't become the king of the conference through a hostile takeover, it was just the changing nature of the business.

When Nebraska left, the teams that followed did so because they'd understandably lost faith in the conference's future. The money, the Longhorn Network, the egos- that was all secondary.

The Aggies' offense comes and goes, and while I feel reasonably good about our chances, I could easily see us having some bad turnover luck and losing 16-13 or something.
