I'm sure it will really end up having an impact on the team this season.

Well, karma didn't wait for the season to start.
During our first scrimmage, we lost our starting G and outside WR for the season to injury. One RB is lost for 4-6 weeks, as is an OLB. To be fair, the OLB was injured during Thursday practice when he stepped on a ref's foot.

If we suck this year it's going to have nothing to do with karma.

And yeah these injuries after the first scrimmage are pretty crappy.

I think OU's season turns on the game in Lincoln.

With a lot of new coaches and a lot of new players, the team will take some time to gel. If that has happened to a significant degree by Week 3, we could have a pretty good year.

Conversely, if we don't play well in Lincoln, we'll probably have a tough time in Dallas.

I stated it in another thread, maybe earlier in this one, but a high rank for an A&M team early in the season always results in a subpar season.  

Hoping to enter November with a shot to win the SEC—west.

A lot of OU fans think the same way. They'd rather see the Sooners at #10 than at #1.
Does anyone remember that Spencer Rattler was the preseason favorite for the Heisman last year?  That seems long ago and far away.

Dang that’s wild. 

I’d feel better with A&M at #12-18. 19-25 just means probably not that good but could swing either way.

Sucks for the young men that got injured. 

What was the saying on the old, old, old board ?  The backups are better.

Yeah that is indeed what we used to say. 

Rarely true but maybe we'll luck out.

I don't care where UGA is ranked preseason either way.  Usually a top three team PS ends up in the top ten with a few exceptions.

I'm somewhat amazed how many youtube videos there are of "experts" waxxing on about Team X.  I will listen to a few for five minutes and get bored.
