I think UT proved the following year that it was more than just luck.

Indeed... I wish A&M would stumble into some luck like that.  

Maybe someday we will..... In the meantime we'll just throw gobs of cash at the problem hoping that works.

I like Jimbo as a coach, I think he'll be really good for the Aggies.  Of course, I also thought Franchione would do very well at TAMU, so what do I know?

Last night the Ags looked good in doing what they were supposed to do, or at least they did in the 2 quarters or so I managed to catch.  I was flipping back and forth between that one, and my high school alma mater's opening game.

Solid start for the Ags.  59-7 and a RB with >200 yds in a half of play is nothing to sneeze at irregardless (word used to annoy Junior) of the opposition.

"Luck is when opportunity meets preparation"
Hell, I don't know about that.  There were a time or two I got lucky when I didn't have a thing in my pocket.  I wasn't prepared at all and it didn't make no dern difference.

At least not on the front end.

To me.

As far as I know.

Well what I mean by luck is there just always seems to be one moment in a season that can make it or break it.  You remember the year OU won the MNC (2000)?  They lost zero starters to injury that year.  How many times does a team lose zero starters to injury for the whole year. How many times did a season seem to be lining up just right, when you're team was deep at a certain position when suddenly you lose one or two key people and then the rest goes to hell in a handbasket quick?  What about the UT/Neb '96 CCG where it was like 4th and 2 and they went for it on 4th down with a precarious lead?  In 2000 A&M was leading OU late in the game when they got a pick 6 that sealed the deal.  I can name off so many games and seasons where we were so damn close and that one moment may have changed the entire season.  Not many people remember but about 2006 or so Fran was like 10 points from having A&M leading the Big 12 South but instead we lost a couple of key games by a handful of points.

I agree with gig ‘em. Luck plays an important role in something as iffy and arbitrary as college football.

How many times have we seen an ultimate national champion lose in October or November?  How’d they get that shot over other one loss teams? 

They got lucky.

Look at 2008.  Was OU or Florida any better than Texas?

No but they were luckier.

Still, who can bitch? Texas shoulda beat the Red Raiders.

Did I see that both Tech & wvu are favored over their SEC opponents or did I misread the betting line?

You know what else is true?

It's 11 AM, and OU still sucks.
Posted the day before Texas once again stinks up a non conference game they shoulda won.
Funny that 63-14 score by which OU won their game today rings a bell.
I wonder what that could be.  Maybe the 2000 RRS game?  Oh yeah that’s it.

Let the gloaters gloat, the mopers mope and the haters hate.

Right now I kind of hate the team I love cause I was stupid enough to eat the poison cheese.

And you know what happens when you eat the poison cheese?

You end up feeling like a dead rat.

On the bright side, my #3 son James (named after Street & Brown my two favorite Texas QBs at the time of my son’s birth four years prior to VY) is starting DE for a HS team that is off to a very good start.

Hopefully next year he’ll be playing for somebody like UTPB or West Texas A&M and I can start following THAT program instead of THIS program.

I remember when he was born, but I forget which board we were still posting on at the time.  Seems like it was about the time when you taunted the badmitton players board with smack talk?  That was seriously comedy genius.  NKOBMT (Notorious King of BadMitton Trash)!!

Karma?  You mean like a Horns fan saying OU sucks on Friday, and then watching the Sooners win going away the next day while your Texas boys lose?

Yep, that’s a bitch alright.  

Maryland is somebody?  They went 4-8 last year.  They’re not exactly Ohio State.
