    Surprised trey williams wants out if thats true. But at the same time, I figured A&M would be using Michael alot more than they did this year..Maybe it made him wonder how much they'll be using him..if the rumors are true..

    Plus doesnt the OU transfer get to start playing next year? Even less touches for trey williams then. Even though he said its "just rumors" on twitter it didn't sound very confident

    Not necessarily less touches. Michael is a senior and will not return next year. There is also no guarantee that Ben Malena will return given the season he is having.

    I'm guessing Trey Williams passes up Malena as the #1 running back going into next season. He's just more decisive, and runs stronger. Malena goes down with the first hit far too often for my liking.

    Oh right. 95% of UT fans want Mack fired. You based that off a poll of 500 people on some niche website web forum. I assumed you were a Horns fan bc you seemed to think you knew so much about what the pulse of the fans were thinking. Go read a book about statistics... or just read a book. Also find it funny that you mock the big 12 by picking the ****tiest teams as UTs rivals but you pick the SECs best. Don't you see how that is a dumb comparison. That's like saying A&M will have bad rivalries because they will be playing Missou, Vandy, Kentucky or Mississippi St.


    Still happy for Ags. I'm sure the landmark moment will come soon. Beating Bama would be one of the biggest moments in the last 30 years for the program. Anything can happen on the field.

    Kirk Herb. Had a lot of love fore Aggies. He said A&M is going to be amazing with the recruiting and is a better competitor for Alabama than LSU.

    Heard him on the radio.

    Wow, the refs AND the replay officials blew that "fumble" call. Impressive.

    NFL officials would have overruled this 100% of the time. Why do college replay officials suck so much?

    I'm not shocked though... I've seen several calls like this over the season so far. Final play of the Notre Dame/Stanford game comes to mind as another blown call, but that wasn't as clear as this one today though.

    I'm just now taking a look at the Heisman watch, and I see that Johnny Manziel isn't getting a whole lot of interest. I know that the Heisman Trophy is more than just stats, but stats ought to at least get you into consideration, and Manziel's stats crush the guys in the top 5. 2200 yds passing, 800 yds rushing, 31 total TDs... crazy stuff.

    If the Ags beat Alabama in front of a CBS national audience on Saturday I think we'll see him vault up the board as a serious candidate.

    Apparently Mike Pereira (Rules Analyst for FOX, Former NFL VP of Officiating) said that the ball broke the plane and the call should have been reversed to a TD.

    I'm a stickler for getting the call right, and for the refs to blatantly get this wrong is unacceptable. The responsible ref ought to go through whatever discipline process they have in place.

    Just another reason why I love the NFL so much more than College. Those NFL refs get the call correct 99% of the time, and many times don't even need the replay to do so, but if they do need a replay, you can bet your bottom dollar that they'll get it right given the nature of the video evidence.

    In all fairness, don't forget the bogus 1st down A&M got four plays earlier. It was 4th and 6 on Mississippi State's 25 and the refs made the worst spot in the history of football and didn't even review it. Miss St should have gotten the ball then.

    Another play that blew my mind was when they called a penalty on an A&M receiver for going out of bounds and coming back into play when he never went close to the sideline before attempting to catch the ball near the goal-line. They corrected the call after going to a commercial break.

    The crew of officials working this game needs to be let go.

    Yes, that bad spot was the only thing that made me feel ok about losing that touchdown. There is no way that should have been a 1st down.

    ... And Ziggy ... Why did you have to go and post that UCLA photo? .. Now I am going to go to bed angry

    I agree they gave him a good 6-8 inches more than he deserved. Blew my mind that MSU didn't challenge it, and it also pissed me off that Manziel didn't snap the ball ASAP on the following play but rather took his time. But LOL, had they reviewed it, they might have spotted it in the exact same place even though there was conclusive video evidence to the contrary.

    The "fumble" call was so obvious that it couldn't have been a mistake. They chose to uphold the wrong call on purpose. REALLY scary if you ask me.

    In the NFL, if I see conclusive video evidence, I'm 99% confident that they will make the right call. In NCAA, they have proven that they can get it wrong, even with conclusive video.
