Texas A&M vs Louisville

It amazes me how A&M still recruits well with being this bad of a football team.

At this point I think the sheer amount of talent in TX, the facilities, the lure of the SEC and the offensive potential when it's clicking are holding them together.

Ok my bad. That was perhaps the stupidest "rule" in existence.

I agree with you. The original rule was stupid.

Maybe make it 25 yard penalty instead of ejecting players - I doubt any go out of their way to commit the foul as it is

25 yards or ejection and no yards. That would be hilarious to watch a coach decide whether his player is worth 25 yards and the players reaction after a coach chooses the ejection.

MCB announced 50,000 plus tickets sold.


20,000 of them came dressed as empty seats.

A&M settling down...I thought they were going to get blown out

I don't like the ejections either. I don't have as much of a problem with the textbook targeting fouls (defender launches himself like a missile and hits the offensive player in the head with his helmet or shoulder). I hate the targeting penalty when a offensive player ducks into a hit. Sometimes it's almost impossible for a defender to avoid hitting a receiver in the helmet.

Stadium is almost as empty as the Titans game I went to last sunday. Just kidding. It was far more emptier than what it is right now.

no excuse either that's an easy drive from Louisville..probably closer than Knoxville..A&M probably not excited for team as they usually travel better

AM's problem is they brought a ton of people to Nashville a little over a month ago for the Vandy game and they likely weren't too keen on returning to the same place.

Scott Ramsey the CEO of the Music City Bowl was asked about that today on Nashville radio and he said they thought about that but were assured that AM fans were as rabid as any and would travel anywhere. I think that was a mishap by the SEC/MCB. Arkansas or State would've traveled more IMO.

A&M QB does not have good pocket presents..strange you would think he would have gotten some for Christmas

 

[VolnJC]

but that was a good throw

 

[gobraves101035]

This Louisville quarterback is exciting.

 

[Escape Goat]

That didn't take long. Decided to get the targeting call out of the way right off the bat.

Ouch.

Dude didn't even get his uniform dirty

 

[hooperj75]

Yes......but Andre Ware is acting like he is the second coming of Michael Vick. Ware annoys me to no end.

3 hour drive. For sure closer

 

[Paper_Towel]

Laura better be careful, ole Bobby looks like he's gettin some ideas.

Yes. I was saying there appears to be about 30,000 there.



Part of that problem is that the Aggies just played in Nashville last month

I hope it ends with him in a neck brace, and a face full of road rash again

Yep yep

Whoops, I didn't see your post. Well stated!

Georgia has the same problem in returning to Jacksonville. Odd moves by the SEC

At least Jacksonville is a shorter drive for Georgia fans compared to Nashville for A&M.

 

[hooperj75]

Does Andre Ware have money on Louisville?

Is it sad that Hubenak throws a better pass than Dobbs?
