    Amazing how time changes things. When I was a kid, "border states" had a definite Civil War meaning and nobody really thought about Mexico.

    I think specifically with college football, border states makes people think of rivalries amongst bordering states - Texas-OU, Kansas-Missou, Florida-Georgia, etc.

    Should be but we will have Potts starting again since Sheffield broke his foot and will be out 2-3 weeks. I think Tech was only by a touchdown going into the half vs New Mexico before Sheffield took over.

    Looking forward to the Coogs returning back from a long road trip.

    SMU is no joke, they're starting to click under Jones... better get ready for a shootout.

    A&m needs to be demoted to the WAC or Conference usa. They're a pathetic excuse for a football program, and an embarrassment to the great state of Texas.

    Check out these facts from the past 2 yrs:

    -overall record 7-11
    -overall Big 12 record 2-8
    -overall record against BCS opponents 2-10
    -0 wins against teams with a winning record
    -lost 5 games by 28 points or more
    -average of 45 points per game given up to BCS opponents
    -down 59-0 with 9:48 left in the 3rd quarter against underdog Kansas State
    -worst margin of loss to Arkansas since 1982 (28 points)
    -2nd worst margin of loss ever to Texas (40 points). Worst loss to Texas since the Spanish-American War.
    -Worst margin of loss to Baylor since 1980 (20 points). Down 41-6 in the 3rd quarter. 2nd loss to Baylor in 22 years.
    -Most losses in a season at Kyle Field (5)
    -Most points ever given up at Kyle field (66, OU)
    -2nd biggest margin of loss ever at Kyle Field (38 point loss to OU - the record is a 39 point loss to Baylor in 1980)
    -1st ever loss to a non-BCS team at Kyle Field since the BCS was formed (Arkansas St). 1st loss to a small conference team at Kyle Field since 1971 (Cincinnati)
    -Worst Aggie defense ever by yard per game (461.5 YPG)
    -Worst Aggie rushing offense since 1964 (88.5 YPG)
    First time getting shut out at Kyle Field since 1971 (Cincinnati)
    Longest losing streak since 1951 (9 games)
    First 0-8 Big XII conference record the same conference record for Baylor's 2nd year coach..

    it's really amazing that A&M is as bad as they've been over the past several years. A&M's recruiting isn't good enough at this point to make them a national power, but they should at least be a team that can win 8 or so games. With the right coach, they should be able to recruit well enough to at least contend for a national title. There's really no excuse for A&M to be consistently worse than Texas Tech.

    Are you 100 years old or something? Are you actually older than Deckard?

    No way! Deck is so old that to him border states means Alsace and Lorraine.

    (For the record, I don't expect a lot of folks to get that.)

    Tulsa at UTEP tonight on ESPN. Unless the Miners that beat the Coogs show up (unlikely), the Miners are going to get raped...

    Speaking of Aggies, check this out...

    -Weighted recruiting class rankings on the horizontal axis (senior class ranking x 4 + juniors x 3 + sophomores x 2 + freshman x 1, combined, normalized, and ranked by team)
    -Current Sagarin ranking on vertical axis.
    -Above the red line indicates underperforming with regards to recruiting, below indicates overperforming
    -Distance from red line indicates relative magnitude of under- or over-performance

    A&M is way out there with Maryland and Illinois as underachievers.

    So, umm, I guess I was wrong. Very nice comeback for the Miners after they let Tulsa back into the game in the third quarter. I hope Coach Price FINALLY has figured out that Buckram is the MFing MAN and needs 25+ touches per game...
