    Friday 11.00am@DKR.

    I predict a beatdown on par with the one UT-Austin gave Rice, the last team that had the misfortune of playing Texas after a loss.

    Texas - 45
    A&M - 14

    Please lets not keep this thread civil.

    the fury of thinking about the KState loss for over a week is going to be unleashed on the aggys and hopefully I will be there to witness it.

    This game will be closer than most of recent years (maybe on par with last year's game which was much closer than it should have been). Texas is not anywhere near as good as they have been and deep down Longhorn fans know it (but also know it is only because they are young and will be real good real soon).

    As an Aggie fan, I just have a hard time believing we can win a tough game like this on the road with Fran calling the plays down the stretch. He has proved that he cannot be trusted down the stretch in games and outthinks himself way too much.

    Gig Em Ags and Fire Fran.

    i sure hope so, otherwise this will be a terrble season. before the season started, mack brown said that this defense had a chance to be his best ever. what the hell happened? our defense has been the reason we will not repeat as national champs.

    Josh- Do ya'll expect Fran to be back next season? Obviously a win against the Horns would save his job, but I think they'll give him another year even if he loses.

    I don't really see the Aggies winning this, but I do think it will be a close game. UT just isn't nearly as good as they were last season, and even then it was a good game. And TAMU has gotten better this year, but I foresee Fran making a terrible call late in the game to cost them yet another chance to win/remain in the game.

    oh, I went to the Bonfire last night...my first time. :cool:

    Fran is a genius. .. you seen his contract

    from what they were saying on the radio
    Everyyear his Contract renews for 5 yrs unless fired
    so . . if he is fired they still have to pay him for 4 yrs
    or something like that

    that is just brilliant

    Rocket River
    now if we could see that on the field
    I tell you . . . these coaches are make me miss RC POKE'EM

    The difference between this year and last year is that Chizik will have them well prepared for Stephen McGee and the option. Last year, we were caught completely off guard and McGee was almost able to pull out a legendary upset.

    They won't come as close this year.

    It will be unlikley that it is a blowout. A&M has played 7 straight close games. We just do not blow people out or get blown out. We have the talent to play with anyone and then have fran blow it in the end.

    A&M -24

    Texas- 20

    No they don't, unless if by "anyone" you mean the Nebraskas & Oklahomas & Texas Tech's of the world. Why would you believe differently?

    Yeah I fully expect he will be back next season. There are too many Fran apologists at A&M willing to accept mediocrity and think an 8-4 record is good because it is improvement (even though our 8 wins are not against anyone good). We have a very tough schedule next year, and that is when I expect him to get canned.

    I think this team has A LOT of talent out on the field, but Fran just does not use them correctly. We have a passign QB and one of the best power RBs in the country, yet we are an option offense :confused:

    I don't think thats true, I think last year they extended it to 2012. Unfortunately for the aggys they can't afford to get rid of him so he will be around next year, plus they have a brutal schedule next year, and that would be unfair for a first year coach.

    IC2000, you really think the aggys can hang with a top 5 team?

    i'm a big longhorn fan.

    the longhorns aren't a top 5 team.

    this is a rivalry game. rivalry games are usually close.

    I realize that, just curious if he thought the aggys talent is good enough to hang with anyone
