A&M had the #1 recruiting class going into this season, ranked #7 in the polls. Anyone that looked at this early in the season would have predicted this outcome. 3 weeks ago anybody in their right mind would have looked at this game coming up as the one that bites us in the ass. Granted, as I posted earlier, this team has not been the same since the Bama game for probably a lot of reasons, but the biggest reason tonight IMO is we grossly underestimated what A&M is capable of.
I was hoping for a low level bowl going into this year. Ending 1-1 vs Bama/aTm isn’t bad, and an added bonus that aTm isn’t going bowling, Bama isn’t in the playoff, and LSU is in the SECC. This loss leaves a lot for BK to prove. Some of his staff is questionable. Not playing Nussmeyer more this year is questionable. History of coming up short in big games. Bad trend in our final two sec games. If we can go 1-1 or better to end the season, I’d consider that a positive. Also curious to see how our recruiting class and transfer portal works out.
Honestly? Losing to 4-7, now 5-7 Texas A&M is the first game I've gotten really pissed off about since O lost to fricking Troy. Then he made 200 excuses, without taking the much deserved blame. There is no excuse for A&M either. "BK" had a shitty game plan & our players did not look ready to play at all. Not BK's first shitty game plan either. WTF? Not the Coaches fault?? My ass!!
Recruiting should be better than expected given how we overachieved and we do have that SEC West trophy. If we win next week and then our bowl game everything will be moving in a very positive direction.
This was not Troy!! #1 recruiting class and #7 preseason. This was a dangerous team capable of beating us no matter how well we played and their record only disguised how dangerous they were. Definitely on the coaches for not having them prepared for this.
Should we drop the Ole Miss style 'Champs' flag for good ole boy "BK" & his famileee? Miles had 3 of these. See any flags in TS that look like this in purple & gold?
You'll see that #1 Recruiting class kick in for them mostly next year. Didn't say they were Troy. You didn't understand my post.
Jax, no offense, but you are justifying and making excuses. This aTm team was a fucking disaster. We shit the bed tonight. This was a complete and fucking disgrace.
