Aggies Defeat Lumberjacks Celebration Thread
I just arrived home from College Station, and here are a few random thoughts: The tailgating scene has really exploded on campus, with people setting up their tents, smokers, and satellite televisions virtually everywhere. As someone who can remember when the first tents were brought out to...
Wildcat: A Series We Can Improve On In 2010
I think everyone who read this blog, or anyone who has watched college or pro football the last few years, is familiar with the single wing Motion series that is popularly known as "Wildcat". For those of you still unfamiliar with the play series, take a look at the video below: David Lee...
Breaking Down The Hanover Bunch
During football games last season, those of you who listened to Dave South often heard him describe a "broken pyramid formation" during some of our games. The actual formation is the Hanover Bunch, a trips formation we would run often during the season. The bunch formation typically consisted of...
Opinions On New Football Marketing By Athletic Department?
Anyone who has recently gone to AggieAthletics.com, Texas A&M's athletic department homepage, has undoubtedly seen the new splash page featuring Jerrod Johnson and Von Miller, along with links to highlight videos, ticket packages, and the 2010 football season schedule. The splash page and links...
Breaking Down The Aggies 3-4 Defense: Nose Guard
One of the biggest keys to success in a 3-4 defense, if not THE KEY, is the Nose Guard, or NG. The strength of the 3-4 defense has to be in the middle of the defense, at middle linebacker (Mike) and the Nose Guard position, but because the NG is on the front line of the defense, he is the most...
EZ Nwachukwu Sets Freshman Record Against Utah State
I was remiss in not mentioning in my game recap yesterday that Aggie WR Uzoma "EZ" Nwachukwu set the new A&M freshman record for TDs in a game with 4 (three receiving and one rushing) against Utah State. The previous record was held by Leeland McElroy, set in 1993. EZ scored on receptions of...
Texas A&M 38, Utah State 30: Not-So-Immediate-Game Reaction
Last season, while we were in the midst of a miserable 4-8 season, I used to force myself to wait as much as 24 hours after a game before I did a game recap. This was mostly to make it possible for me to calm down after what turned out to be many losses, so I wouldn't say something I would later...

Focus On Running Game Improvement Is Misplaced
Brent Zwerneman has a nice little article on how Cyrus Gray has improved so far in practice, because he knows his playbook and assignments now, and how having Gray, true freshman Christine Michael and redshirt sophomore Bradley Stephens means the Aggies' running game is in good hands. However, Z...
Von Miller's Weight Not An Issue
This article has me breathing a little easier: Although listed at 6-3 and 214, Miller said he's about 230 pounds this spring. Miller guarantees that he'll be pushing 240 next season. At between 230-240, Miller will be the perfect size to switch between DE and OLB when we move from a 4-3 to the...
