WEEK 7 PICKS
Texas 42, Baylor 7: The Longhorns make short work of their fellow co-leader in the South standings.

Texas Tech 34, Colorado 20: Tech cuts back on turnovers and nudges the Buffs one step closer to an 0-12 record.

Oklahoma 35, Iowa State 24: The Cyclones become the first projected front-runner to disappear from the Big 12 title chase.

Kansas 31, Oklahoma State 19: In a key matchup for both teams' bowl hopes, the Jayhawks stand taller in the fourth quarter.

Nebraska 31, Kansas State 16: Make it two consecutive atoning road trips for the resurgent Huskers.

Last week: 3-3

Season: 41-6

MATCHUP OF THE WEEK

Missouri at Texas A&M
The Tigers are undefeated but benefited from Texas Tech's turnover-fest during last week's victory in Lubbock. The Aggies have been inconsistent, but are too talented to finish the season without upsetting someone. Boosted by a loud crowd in Kyle Field, this is the week. Texas A&M 28, Missouri 27


I hope that they are right.. A 28-27 win would be thrilling & a huge boost for our Boys!!!!!

I will say this..... If our boys can hold onto the ball, we will be good to go..... McGee has only thrown 1 INT so turnovers will be key... we need to limit ours & create some for them!!!!

BTHO Missouri!!!!!!!!:gig:

[BigJohn]

Gonna have to play our best game of the season to win this one I think.

[Mole]

I know we can win this game. Now lets go out and show everyone we can.

The Aggies have been inconsistent, but are too talented to finish the season without upsetting someone.

I have to agree with this statement. But hopefully we will get more than 1!

[Mole]

Totally. I hate that people are viewing this as our only possible upset.

[Pumchavas28]

Well... an ESPN insider on the local Radio show here in SA said he saw us beating OU with the way the Sooners were playing.

[MDaggie09]

seeing as this is only chase daniels 7th start, and only his second on the road, im not sure if he's ready for the crowd at kyle field

[Pumchavas28]

What is the estimated turn out for the game?

But I think people are underestimating our O'Line... when we run the ball..... 99.99% of the time, they win the battle & beat the crap out of anyone.....

Teams like Missouri lean on speed on defense, but when someone is running the ball right at you... it doesn't matter how fast you are, it's about how strong you are....

In the last 8 games no one has been able to muscle up with A&M.... A&M has won the point of attack & beaten them down.....

Now the 1st 2 game of that streak of dominance the defense was a bit of a weak link early in both games, this season the defense has had 3 bad quarters, 2 against Army & 1 against Tceh.... the rest of the season they have done well....

If the defense continues & the O'Line shows them tigers what brute strength is all about, we win this game!

[Slotback]

I hope we see a lot of Chris Alexander leading the way for Goodson, Lane and Lewis. Run straight at them. Nothing fancy.

[Kyle98]

Well... an ESPN insider on the local Radio show here in SA said he saw us beating OU with the way the Sooners were playing.

Is that the same guy that said our 13th ranked rushing attack is struggling? I read that ESPN insider and came away thinking that for a guy from SA, he really should know more about in-state teams.

[Moth]

Totally. I hate that people are viewing this as our only possible upset.


Why? With the way the Aggies have played over the last 3 and a half seasons, it makes sense.

I'm concerned that we win this weekend, then blow the baylor or okie state game.

Fran's been known to do this.

So has Leach...better fire him too.

[Superaggie79]

75,000

[Moth]

Look at Leach's first years and compare them to Fran's

Yeah that's what I thought.:mad:

[Vlyrock]

I'm surprised the Express News would pick us to win. They traditionally have nothing good to say about A&M...

[Dustin00whoop]

What does that have to do with your post about us losing a game against Ok. Lite or Baylor?

Yeah, thats what I thought. :mad:

[Pumchavas28]

Look at Leach's first years and compare them to Fran's

Yeah that's what I thought.:mad:


It's been pretty established that Fran's 1st 3 years haven't been anything close to good... if you want to continue to torture yourself by looking back, knock yourself out.....

I saw those games & don't wish to relive that..... If our season bombs then I will want Fran's head AGAIN.....

But during mid-season even I know when to shut it.......

[whitelightnin_23]

I'm concerned that we win this weekend, then blow the baylor or okie state game.

Baylor AND Okie St? Wow. Your lack of faith amazes me...
I mean, I've heard of looking ahead, but wow, you're looking ahead to predict/get worked up over losses...

If I really WANTED to, I could poke holes in ANY division 1 team...USC, OSU, ND, UT, whoever...& tell you why they COULD lose any game...then again, you did predict a loss on Monday of this week...and then call ME boozin...wow.

[The Massacre]

"Ohhhh, man I wish I could go back in time. I'd take state."

"How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?... Yeah... Coach woulda put me in fourth quarter, we would've been state champions. No doubt. No doubt in my mind."

EDIT-- forgot the best one!

Uncle Rico (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0340973/): Back in '82, I used to be able to throw a pigskin a quarter mile.
Kip (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1088052/): Are you serious?
Uncle Rico (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0340973/): I'm dead serious.

That cracks me up every time...

[Pumchavas28]

I was equally shocked, that's why I thought it was "POST" worthy... a once in a blue moon type of article.

[Pumchavas28]

Is that the same guy that said our 13th ranked rushing attack is struggling? I read that ESPN insider and came away thinking that for a guy from SA, he really should know more about in-state teams.


No this is a local guy who gives feedback on the Big 12 to several guys on the web site.... I didn't catch his name but he mostly does radio stuff for ESPN...

[Mole]

I bought a time machine on the internet. You guys wanna try it out?

[The Massacre]

does it look like this?

"Ow! Ow! Ow! It kills! My pack! Ow! Turn it off! It's a piece of crap and it doesn't work!"

"I coulda told you that."

[MDaggie09]

freakin idiots!

[macduff93]

No kidding. I'm sure if it goes the other way, they'll slam us that much harder and try to make sure everyone knows how sorry they think our program is.

Just ask Mike Finger. It was because of articles like this one that I cancelled my subscription...and I told them that!

[Mole]

Unfortuneately duff that guys sounds like a lot of sports writers and talk show hosts I hear.

[macduff93]

That was mild for him. He's a sip. They really should not let him cover us at all. He's an ass.
