Monday Thoughts

  • After our upset win over Baylor on Saturday, the Aggies are now 6-3 in conference and 17-6 overall. The 6-3 conference record ties us with Kansas State for second place in the current Big 12 standings. We have the week off to prepare for our trip to Lubbock next Saturday to face Texas Tech. Everyone who thought we'd be in second place at this point in the season after the loss of Derrick Roland against Washington, please raise your hand? Me, neither.
  • I'm not sure how many people noticed, but Justin Wilcox, the other defensive coordinator we were considering before we hired Tim DeRuyter, left Boise State to take the defensive coordinator position at Tennessee. Looks like we weren't the only ones who were impressed by the job he did at Boise.
  • Tonight's game between Kansas and texas could have far-reaching ramifications for the rest of the season for texas. The 'sips entered the year as a favorite to compete for the Big 12 title, but they are reeling right now, having lost 4 of their last 6 games. Part of the 'sips' struggle has to do with the fact that they feature a point guard in Dogus Balbay who isn't much of a scoring threat, in my opinion. It is difficult to win conference games when you're playng 4-on-5 on offense. Kansas has struggled somewhat recently, too, needing overtime to beat Kansas State and Colorado before their solid win over Nebraska on Saturday. Part of Kansas' struggles are due to them being the #1 team in the nation right now, though, and everyone wanting to knock them off and throwing everything out there with the kitchen sink to beat them.

Ags In Search Of New OC

According to Billy Liucci, Nolan Cromwell has accepted a position with the St. Louis Rams and will not be returning to Aggieland. The Aggies will begin a search for a new OC immediately. Former A&M WR coach and Tulsa and Louisville HC Steve Kragthorpe has been contacted. This is Mike Sherman's offense and I expect to see one of the top 10 offenses in the nation on the field again next year. I am very confident that Sherman will hire a capable OC for A&M. I wish Cromwell all the best in St. Louis.

Bryan Davis had 22 points, Donald Sloan had 20 points, and B.J. Holmes hit three key three-pointers to help the lead the Aggies to the win. The Aggie defense holding Baylor to only 36 points in the second half certainly helped.

The Aggies are now 17-6 on the season, with a 6-3 record in Big 12 play.

This is your celebration thread.

Reminds me of when Chris Leak committed to Wake Forest when he was in 8th grade. Awful lot of parents out there willing to spend thousands of dollars for coaches in an attempt to improve their child's shot at a scholarship.

Highlight video of LaDarius Phillips, a 2-star RB recruit signed by Auburn. The kid may eventually move to DE or DT, but I hope they give him a legitimate shot at RB. 

I enjoyed watching the various ways his high school team used him to run the ball (notice the power single wing package at at the 4:14 mark, and love the wishbone) almost as much as I enjoyed watching him.

Mark Ingram, Alabama's first Heisman Trophy winner, is hugged by John David Crow who won the award in 1957 as a running back at Texas A&M. Crow is the only player under coach Paul W. Bryant to have won the trophy.

The two met on Dec. 15 at a reception for open only to former Heisman Trophy winners prior to the banquet where Ingram was officially presented the trophy. Also pictured are former Heisman award winners, Steve Spurrier, Billy Cannon, Howard Cassady and Johnny Lattner.
