Aggies vs Bama

[doghouse]

Hook'Em Horns but go Aggies. Nothing better than a Texas team winning.

[Johnny]

31-17 Crimson Tide.

[aggie2000tx]

A major key to the game for a&m will be to protect the ball and that includes Johnny. They will have to have their heads in the game big time. Judging by the way that we played Florida and Lsu and the way bama played lsu we have a serious shot at winning the game.

I will be watching for sure

Yep. However I really don't think anyone can compare the A&M vs.LSU game against the Bama vs. LSU game.
Death Valley could be heard from Texas it was so loud and LSU put everything out on the line to come out with a win and LSU's QB had the game of his life.
None of that intensity was felt at the aggie game. Heck I thought the Florida game was way more intense to be honest

that is possible, but i would say that lsu plays a different game at home than on the road.

Tough to pick a win against the #1 team in the country in their house. That being said, A&M has as good a chance as anyone on Bama's schedule.

Bear Bryant said it best," if we practice hard, play hard and give it our all, no one and I mean no one can beat us Aggies!"

When Bear died, he was buried with one ring on his hand and it wasn't an Alabama NC ring!!

I'm thinking A&M strikes early and often but bama comes out on top 35-20

Once you get your Aggie ring you will wear it forever. Coach Bryant did and Coach Stallings does. You're good to go in maroon

[ClayW]

I can't pick this one

Just hoping for a competitive game. This game (more than the other 2) will tell us a lot about our Aggies

Thanks and Gig em

[Michael]

The Ags held their own against Fl and LSU...at home. This will be a different beast. I think the Ags can possibly hang tough, and with a few breaks could pull the upset. However, I think it's more likely the Tide does what they do.

[RLB]

We're young and not very deep.....I think we play a great first half and founder to a deeper, faster and more veteran Bama squad. Gig'em Ags!!

Hahaha JFF is a common hashtag used on twitter. Basically stands for Johnny Freaking Football

[MKD12]

Oh, A&M football fan here, but I don't see A&M winning. Not enough depth this year to beat the Tide in Tuscaloosa. That running game for bama is scary

[Brock Middlebrook]

1968 Cotton Bowl Stallings vs. Bryant

http://www.mmbolding.com/bowls/Cotton_1968.htm



.....Bryant, who coached Stallings at Texas A&M, then took the young man with him to Alabama as his assistant, lamented over his team's mistakes, but not too long.

Rather, he spent his time telling Stallings how proud he was that he could bring Texas A&M out of a four-game losing streak to the Southwest Conference championship, then victory in the Cotton Bowl to run his winning string to seven.

Bryant came across the field and carried Stallings around like a football team often does a winning coach. Stallings couldn't help himself- the Bear outweighs him by about 75 pounds.

"He sure is strong isn't he?" mused Stallings when Bryant finally let him down.

It was a battle in which pupil triumphed over teacher as Gene Stallings, who "Bear" Bryant played at A&M for and helped him coach at Alabama, guided the Aggies to one of the great comebacks in Southwest Conference history.

[TxAg]

if our D was better, I'd have more confidence

[Brock Middlebrook]

[Budman68]

Anyone but bama, but I don't think A & M has a chance in this one. Bama is big and fast. Good luck to my new favorite Texas team. SEC all the way.

[Aggiebush]

I can't wait for the game, it should be a battle. I was originally going to go, but will not be able to make the trip. Here's to JFF having the game of his life!

Man. I want the Aggies to win, but.......hmmmmmmmmm.

Smart money....Bama by 10-14?

27-14.

Agree with BOB on this one.

Seems like strong defenses have shut-down the Aggies in the 2nd half; i.e. Florida and LSU.

I disagree with both of you. The aggies learned from those two games. They should have won both. They will beat Bama by 7. 24-17

[18ncs]

Going to try to. I have been working out of town for over a month.

You know your way around the campus don't you? Do you know where any of the other GS members will be before the game? Let me know where you will be here or PM me.

For anyone else the aerial photo I posted is looking Northwest. University Blvd is on the North side of the stadium and two blocks East is The Quad. This is where most of the people will be prior to the game. Paul Bryant Drive is the fronting streeet on the South side.

This is going to be the start of a great series.

p.s. Sorority row is immediately to the East of Bryant Denny Stadium

Aggies are going down bama has this game sealed all ready

[lungbuster1985]

Aggies have had a great year, defied everyones predictions. But Im a Bama fan, born in Birmingham and raised by Tide alumni. If A&M wins I will be a lot less mad than if LSU had pulled it off last weekend. Should be a great game.

I take Bama in this one... Roll Tide!

[wtx223]

Y'all could not have gotten Bama on a better weekend.
Vegas odds say y'all should win one in 5 games played...not bad for playing #1 team on road.
And I hope y'all win even though some Aggie fans on this site will drive you crazy with their football/sec talk.
Good luck.

Anyone know of any casinos along i20 in the Mississippi area to spend Friday night?

Ameristar, riverwalk, or diamondjacks are in Vicksburg.

[diamond10x]

haha Bama is gonna roll all over them i bet! itll be interesting but i bet Bama wins by two touchdowns for sure

I'm glad we're having a great year by all accounts, but I'm a realist. I don't expect to win this weekend but will be ecstatic if we do. I'm just hoping for a close game that will keep us in the top 15 or so.

Fingers crossed, Johnny doesn't break a leg.

You hit it on the head! I'm a Aggie fan but **** everyone needs to calm down! This could be a fun game to watch but I do believe Bama will Finish on top! Hopefully Ags will keep it close!!

[ClayW]

Whooooop

[Throwin Darts]

A&M's kicker needs to get it together ASAP. To win this game there can't be any turnovers for the Ags and especially no missed field goals.

[systemnt]

42-14 aggies.

Callin it first.
Majik 8 ball says so.

[ck40711]

I would like to see the Aggies pull this one out. . . but if I were putting money on it I would have to bet on Bama. My prediction - Bama by 10

All good info.

I will be there.

[lovemylegacy]

It maybe close for a little while, but BAMA will win. No one makes halftime adjustments like the SEC. Defense rules and until A&M get one they will continue to lose close games.

[Justinhall]

If the Ags Kicker can hit some much needed easy field goals then the Ags have a chance. 27-24 Aggies.
BTHO Bama!

I have heard it all now....

[KHoes203]

Its going to be a dang good game! maybe I can catch atleast the second half after I get off the water! But I predict that the aggies are going to surprise bamma and they are going to be caught with their pants on the ground and will be scrambelling like they did against LSU.

[jeff-fro]

I don't think it will be much different than any other Bama home game. Slow start by the tide with a close game at half time. Then they will step up 2nd half and win by 10+.

[txdukklr]

wishful thinking

Bama is going to roll right over them. I'm a Tiger fan . . . . . . bama's a good dang team

[Dave]

Vegas has the line holding at 13.5 for Bama. I think that's pretty fair and have no doubt that Saban will have his team mentally ready to take on the Aggies.

So how does A&M go about overcoming that in order to win this game. I think it comes down to A&M's defense getting stops and allowing our offense to get on the field as much as possible. Getting a turn over that our offense turns into a touchdown is a 14 point swing . So I'll say the turnover battle will be the deciding factor in this game.

I'm not going to predict the score but if A&M can win the turn over battle I think they can outscore Bama and win the game.

This makes sense except A&M hasn’t been very good at forcing turnovers this year and only has one in the last four weeks and that was against Miss St., last week. Bama has forced 23 turnovers and lost 8 fumbles versus the Aggies forcing 8 turnovers to their 15 they have given up. If anyone is a ball hog in this game, it's Bama. Bama is also the 2nd best defense in the nation, giving up 229 yards per game.

[KHoes203]

^^ in addition to the turn overs they need to get a few good sacks on Mccarron and get some good 3rd down stops.

Good stuff and Avatar!

At the end of the Junction Boys book, it talks about the success of the players in life after college. It's crazy how well they all did in life.
