All the derisive comments regarding second-year coach Mike Sherman and his inability to recharge Texas A&M are suddenly quieting down.

Two consecutive victories -- which came after a three-game losing streak -- create the possibility of bowl bid, which the Aggies can secure with one more win after beating Iowa State 35-10. A&M improved to 5-3 overall and 2-2 in the Big 12.

An offense that looked as if it might wilt in conference play during a stunning 48-point defeat at Kansas State on Oct. 17 is potent again. The Aggies did not punt against the Cyclones while generating 514 yards.

"We're trying to get to a bowl. This was the next step to that," said quarterback Jerrod Johnson, who accounted for 267 total yards while completing 23 of 28 passes with three touchdowns.

Qualifying for bowls once seemed to be a given for Texas A&M, which was perhaps the South Division's top program when the Big 12 was founded in 1996. But a decline under R.C. Slocum led to the demise of the program under Dennis Franchione.

Sherman has attempted to resurrect the Aggies' fortunes, but is doing so with young players who provide the speed needed to fit his schemes. Offensively, A&M appears to be posing threats with that speed, as Cyrus Gray enjoyed his second straight 100-yard game rushing.

I know the problem against OU was defense and a pathetic special teams, but our offense did NOTHING after the first quarter. I put all of that on the coaches. I'm sick of seeing our running backs get 6-7 yards on first down, only to have to punt after having something like a 2nd down and 3. We need to run the ball a lot more than we have been, because we have the talent at RB to make plays (like C ...(more)

Well the season has been a roller coaster ride of a season. We have played both awful and very good in the same two week spans. I have given up on predicting the score of the A&M games. But lets try and speculate anyway-CAN WE WIN? The smart money is on texas, but that was the case in 06 and 07 also.I see this going one of two ways 1- we get crushed or 2- we win by the skin of our teeth, I jus ...(more)

Lack of talent?  really? 


We may not have OU or TU talent on D, not even close.  but our issue is not lack of talent.  We have playmakers on D.  We have some speed on D.  We are a little weak with experience, but even that isn't a great argument. 

Our system is not working.  In order to run the Defense we need we have to change

Regardless of the one-point loss in Boulder the other day I still think that that Ags can win this one.  I'm looking for Miller and Featherston to keep Jones uncomfortable enough to make some mistakes and throw some picks like he did against Nebraska.  The Aggies need to shore up their defensive line quick or Murry and Brown will run all day on them. A&M's offense will move the ball ...(more)

Sherman has got to go now, tonight would make it even better. A&M should never lose to any1 by 50+ points. it is obvious that sherman cannot hire a good defensive coordinator, and he can not coach either. and dont give me this freshman stuff either, coaches know how to coach and sherman cant do that. i would take raw talent over experience anyday. i mean this is football not rocket science. go ...(more)

42-10. At the half. End of argument.

If you bring up Cyrus Gray's fumbles, fine. I'll rebute by saying Sherman could have taken him out of the game after the 2nd one and then you'll have all the fire Sherman folks gathering their ammo.

Kines is old and the game has passed him by. Get rid of him now.

A DAY THAT WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN

Nov. 18, 1999

On Nov. 18, 1999 the Texas Aggie Bonfire collapsed, killing 12 Aggies. Every Aggie knows exactly where he or she was when they got the news of the collapse. At approximately 2:32 a.m. on November 18, 1999, ...(more)

Well, alot out there would say "it comes down to this". A&M. Baylor. Bowl Eligibility or early offseason. Cats & Dogs living together. Mass Hysteria! Sorry. Got carried away there.

I might be a little greedy here, but after the OU debaucle, I just don't want to win, I want to win by way of murder. I want to be up by no less than 40 at the half, just like those T-sips.

Come on out there.  A few weeks ago we had a few threads going that had new post each day. Seems pretty dead at the moment.

Anybody heard from texasproud2b? People seemed to respond to her.

don't like people who clog the boards with stuff like this

But losing to Iowa State is like drinking bitter coffee that your cat whizzed in.

I'm sick of this!!!!! I've heard from too many Aggies and A&M fans defend this guy and his conservative defensive schemes.

When you play a conservative D that means one thing and one thing only - you're too scared to blitz and too scared to play man on man coverage.

I completely blame Kines and Kines only for this loss in Boulder. He is TOO old fashioned and TOO one dime

Good game by the Aggies today. Still gave up a bunch of yards, but it's whats on the scoreboard that matters. The team is getting confident with each victory and are gaining momentum down the home stretch.

That being said, Boulder, Colorado is always a tough place to play and the boys need to be focused heading in there.

We could have snow, freezing rain, high winds, or any

Lot's of articles out today about A&M being 3rd in the nation in yds/game.   The truth is we won't really know how good our offense is until we play Oklahoma.  After a pretty soft pre-conference schedule we took the appropriate shots about our gaudy offensive numbers with a lot of "wait until the Big 12" quotes.  The last two weeks have been amazing to see us put up 559 aga ...(more)

What exactly do you expect from your team coming off that horrible 4-8 season?  Let's be realistic, you don't lose 8 games in one season without being a terrible football team, so what did you expect this year?  Did you think your 8 point win over Utah State would propel your pathetic team into the Big 12 South race?  No, of course it wouldn't.  So now, after a blowout at the h ...(more)
