As much as I dislike, A&M, I don’t hate the Ags like I do the Horns.

I watched that whole game and all I can say is A&M will be badass next year. Is Jerrod a junior this season? I hope so because he is most likely gonna tear us apart again next year unless our defense can play a lot more consistently. I also don’t think I saw a single drop from any receivers…A&M was really playing their heart out that game.

This was my first shot to get to watch th Aggies play this year. I was very impressed and I am extremely excited about the coming years.

The two biggest things I observed last night had to do with maturity and experience. On the times when A&M made big mistakes the Aggies seemed to have trouble getting back into the game. Texas was able to easily capitalize on our mistakes because we took so long getting our emotions and confidence back up and because the Longhorns are so skilled and experienced in the game. That makes for a bad combination, on our side anyway.

The other thing was our pursuit angles. I don’t know if we are so young or if Texas is just that fast, but it seemed like we missed so many tackles because our defense was taking poor angles to catch the runner. This was especially true on Colt’s run up the gut and also that sack Moss should have had in the endzone, but it was evident the whole game. I think experience playing at the College speed as opposed to the High School speed will flesh out as experience comes.

On the positive side, there were a bunch of young Aggies out there that played with all of their heart. It would be easy to be intimidated when Texas comes in undefeated and jockying for the National Title game but our guys didn’t seem to balk even once at that. They stepped up to the challenge and gave 110%. A team can overcome a lot of obstacles with determination and fight like was observed in the Aggies last night.

Good job Aggies! I was proud to be wearin’ maroon last night.

The aggys will always be aggys – as long as they continue to lay down in games like OU and kansas State and suck it up in game against the Mighty Horns.

But, this being said – congratulations on your moral victory – and “Cart” McCoy owned you last night!

Ownership definition – FORTY NINE, forty nine, FORTY NINE,49,49,49 points – 307 yds. passing 175 rushing!!!!!!!!!! What’s YOUR definition of ownership? Agreed – McCoy hasn’t been the ONLY one to own the aggys this year but McCoy sure owned them Thurs. night!
Moral Victory definition – " If anything, A&M not only played beyond expectations, but also managed to shred one of the nation’s top defenses."

Both of you goobers would lose in a court case.

Condescension and doofus definition – “I take it you haven’t been watching college football very long”
“Were you actually watching the game, or just in front of a television? Or perhaps, more importantly, do you even have a grasp on the sport?”

All this being said – I LOVE your band and your kissing tradition!

49 points isn’t all that impressive, since we’ve given up 65 and 62 points to two other teams texas is supposed to be superior to. You really should be trumpeting 42 points, because I didn’t see McCoy out there throwing a block for Goodwin on his KO return, so I don’t see how he gets credit for that.

The reason I say you obviously haven’t been watching college football long is because of your statement that we “laid down for OU and Kansas State” but “suck it up” or play up in games against texas. If you had been watching college football this year, or even if you had just looked at the Big 12 conference stats occasionally, you’d notice that this game wasn’t an anomaly for us, this wasn’t some big surprise, our offense has been performing like this all season long. The fact that you didn’t know this and just assumed this was us ‘playing up’ in a game against texas makes me question your knowledge of football.

And which university are you majoring in business at? THE University of Florida? THE University of Kansas? THE University of Oklahoma? So many schools claim to be THE University these days…..

You have warned me against name calling and personal attacks – I assume when I called you a goober and a doofus you took offense – my apologies to your sensitivities. This was after you took your condesending attitude against my knowledge of football or this game in particular. You fololwed this up with ANOTHER attack on my “lack” of football knowledge, i.e: “The fact that you didn’t know this and just assumed this was us ‘playing up’ in a game against texas makes me question your knowledge of football.”

I thought you were capable of handling a little rivalry reparte – evidently not – not from some little Longhorn broad by God!
So, I suspect that I will now be barred from this little blog in order for you guys to wink at each other, slap yourselves on your backs and congratulate yourself for showing this ignorant little girl, who has never slung on a jock strap, what REAL men know about football.

And, by-the-way, it matters not what others scored on you, how often they have done it or how weak your little team is – my point was that Colt McCoy owned you for this night and there is no denying it – the score speaks for itself.

Furthermore, if you really mean you would rather have your 5 and 5 QB than the winningest QB in the history of the game, then your knowledge of football is rather questionable as well – don’t you think?

You have warned me against name calling and personal attacks – I assume when I called you a goober and a doofus you took offense

I took offense to you referring to one of the other community members here as a ‘goober’; you can call me whatever you want, I get called all sorts of humorous things on BON, but I would prefer to try to conduct yourself with a little class and not resort to name calling while crafting your argument here. Dissenting views are welcomed on this blog; personal attacks are not. Calling someone a name adds nothing to the discourse; we are more intelligent than that, so I require people to act like it.

This was after you took your condesending(sic) attitude against my knowledge of football or this game in particular. You fololwed(sic) this up with ANOTHER attack on my "lack" of football knowledge, i.e: "The fact that you didn’t know this and just assumed this was us ‘playing up’ in a game against texas makes me question your knowledge of football."

You aren’t the only one I’ve questioned as to whether they’ve been watching college football this season; a lot of texas fans have remarked about how incredible Jerrod was, and I’ve asked them where they were the rest of the season? Jerrod has had games like this all season long.

I thought you were capable of handling a little rivalry reparte(sic) – evidently not – not from some little Longhorn broad by God!

littlelonghornbroadbygod would make an excellent login for you; have you thought about changing it from ‘littlelonghorngirl’? Just a thought……

So, I suspect that I will now be barred from this little blog in order for you guys to wink at each other, slap yourselves on your backs and congratulate yourself for showing this ignorant little girl, who has never slung on a jock strap, what REAL men know about football.

Sorry, but I’m a little too old to go in for simple sexism. You will only be banned if you ignore the warning, and personally attack other members of the community, which is something I would ban male members for, too. Gender has nothing to do with it.

Furthermore, if you really mean you would rather have your 5 and 5 QB than the winningest QB in the history of the game, then your knowledge of football is rather questionable as well – don’t you think?

Do you mean 6-6 quarterback, i.e. a reference to the team record? Jerrod still has better numbers than Colt does this season, so no, I would still take Jerrod. Since I watched how poorly Colt did with a porous offensive line in 2006 (22 TDs, 18 INTs), I would still rather take Jerrod (22-10 in ‘08, 28-6 in ’09) because of the issues we’ve had on offensive line the last two years. Colt would not have been as successful as Jerrod was with the same personnel.

Particularly since you have cut my legs out from under me by admitting how poor the quality of your team is and has been – and trying to find a moral victory with your little QB playing under those circumstances. All your admissions as to how you would be just as condescending towards men as you were to me does not excuse your pious attitude nor your lofty impression of your own intellectual prowess in all matters football.

Furthermore, your hypocrisy is astounding – particularly when you ask a longhorn fan on BON whether or not he is illiterit. This constitutes name calling in my book and refutes the folowing statement made by you:
" Dissenting views are welcomed on this blog; personal attacks are not. Calling someone a name adds nothing to the discourse"

And, finally, getting back to the game of football – what is it about you aggys that makes you persist in living in a state of denial? Colt McCoy has just accomplished what no QB in the HISTORY of college football has done – by winning FORTY THREE (43- I’ll try not to make a typo (sic) for you). Your QB had a great game, no doubt, but if you insist upon inane arguments you do nothing but expose your unsupported bias and lack of objectivity. I think I can guess who Sherman would surely take – he would jump for joy for a QB that could improve on 5 -5 (oops, 6-6, like it makes a difference) – and extend his tenure for a year longer than he probably has.

Finally, just so you know – I have a bf that is a major college QB, my dad played in the NFL for 14 years and both of my brothers played through high school and for winning programs. Furthermore, I have been on the sidelines of every game the longhorns have played for the last two years. Now, I admit, I personally have never played but I will wager that I have been exposed to a LOT more football than you ever have and I’m including from high school to the NFL. And, finally, from mine and my genders viewpoint, we have never really considered sexism to be “simple”.
Hook em!

I agree with Muschamp – statistics are for losers but since you insist that johnson had a better night than McCoy, lets examine them anyway:

Rushing Winner
McCoy 18 – 175 yds. 9.72 yd avg.- 1 TD McCoy
Johnson – 14 – 97 yds. 6.93 yd avg.- 0 TD

Passing
McCoy 24-40 304 yds. 4 TD’s
Johnson 26-33 342 yds. 4 TD’s Johnson
(I’m giving this to you even though Johson had no more TD’s than McCoy but I knew you needed SOME kind of moral win here)

Total Yds. gained
McCoy – 479 McCoy
Johnson – 439

Winning QB
McCoy 1 McCoy

Final Score
McCoy – 3
Johnson – 1

BEST QB – McCoy

Statistics don’t lie do they?

Further information

“Even Texas A&M free safety Jordan Pugh was impressed by McCoy. "I think I played the Heisman Trophy winner, he led the team," Pugh said. "After the game, I told him to get a championship, a Big 12 and national championship."

If you think Sherman, like you, would pick Johnson over a two time nominee for the Heisman trophy and the winningest QB in the history of college football than he will aways be destined to be a 6-6 coach and the aggys (Austin spelling) will remain the laughing stock of the big 12.

It is no crime to love the school you attended, I myself have many wonderful friends that attend A&M, and I am sure you bleed maroon. However, your bias and arrogance has stunted your objectivity to the point that you just come off as clueless.

Hook em!
