Our visit to Aggieland in ‘20

ChiefTenBeers2015 · August 30, 2019

The visiting Bobcats can’t seem to move the chains much tonight. Multiple QBs with multiple interceptions thrown...#80 on offense looks like he’s a playmaker.

Aggies turned the ball over twice , settled for a few field goals, so they’re offense doesn’t look dominant. Bobcats penetrated a few times, pressuring Mond more than once, so we know they're vulnerable.

Bobcats also have piss poor field position all night. That home crowd is raucous and loud - bet it’s an experience.

What does any of that have to do with our game down there next year? We're miles ahead of Texas State. Also we walked into a 72,000 seater last year (albeit, not full nor fully energized) and did just fine.

Next season both teams will be breaking in new QB's.

I though Mond was a jr...?

I just hate these games like tonight where Uber-rich A&M pays little ol’ poor cousin Texas State to come play a few hours away and take an ass-whipping, this demoralizing the Texas State fanbase, which is already made up of tons of Longhorn and Aggie t-shirt fans. Same with UTSA. I would never play a game against UT, OU, or A&M ever if was the AD at an instate SBCUSA Texas school. Not enough money to cover the pain of that loss. Play any other power team, but don’t let the local media or your own fanbase in your town just look down on you again because you got an ass-kicking from a Power program with tons of local t-shirt fans, many of whom are on campus already in places like Denton, San Marcos, San Antonio, and El Paso. I’d do the same thing at La Tech, avoiding games with LSU...

But when Houston or Boise play these games you think of it as a potentially good matchup. We have been Texas state recently. We are not yet Boise or UCF, but it is part of the maturation process of a program. I think Texas state crushes some programs down the line based on this mammoth test they got tonight.

I am not looking at our trip to cal like we are going to Austin or college station or Baton Rouge. There are levels within levels and it is nice to be growing in our planted place at this time.

Beat ACU!

The other problem with next yr is the Aggies will be peaking while we are rebuilding. If it was Sumlin’s squads and we went in there with Our 18 team (or, hopefully 19 team) it’d be a different story.
