    It cracks me up that the national media is up in arms over A&M's defensive performance (without 4 or 5 starters) against Rice and Sam Houston State, while simultaneously ignoring that Alabama had only 206 total yards of offense against a mediocre Virginia Tech team.

    SHSU had more yards last year versus TAMU too I'm pretty sure. We beat Alabama that year.

    Tim Brando this morning said that not having a game last week will hurt Alabama and they will leave College Station with a loss.

    God, Drake is such a front-running douche.......but I have to admit that would get people hyped like CRAZY if it's true. Still though, just seems like a lot of BS that's too distracting. Just go out, BTHO them, and go about our business. I think it would speak a lot louder if we just treated it like it was just another game, and that we EXPECT to win. Still though....I'll be watching intently.

    We can't just treat it like another game. We are going to pull out all the stops. The recruiting visitor list is insane.

    You do realize that V-tech has one of the best defenses in the country right?

    And that as a teams they are infinitely better than either of the team A&M has faced thus far.

    FYI, They are going to broadcast the midnight yell practice live on ESPN3 (online) starting 11:55 local time.

    With all the hype surrounding the game, this should be pretty awesome

    Even though I'm not really an Aggie fan, I was hired to do piano bar at one of the tailgate parties tomorrow. I expect that it will be pretty crazy down there. It also means that I have to leave Austin at 8:00 in the morning which is hard for a musician.

    Should be fun though.

    CBS Sports is supposed to be streaming it online. Probably post that or one of these streaming sites closer to game time.

    Hate both teams, but I'm sick of Johnny Manziel, so I guess I'm pulling for Alabama. Hopefully it's close.
