I know that I have been extremely negative and anti-Fran since the Colorado loss, so I will make this thread to say why every one of our remaining games is winnable. Gig 'em :gig:

Oklahoma State
They have been terrible all year, and that was when their starting QB was healthy. They were shutout at home against Colorado, and lost to a very overrated Missouri team at home. Wins against Montana State, Florida Atlantic and Arkansas State were disgustingly close. A&M is undefeated at home this year, while OSU is winless in Big 12 play.

@Kansas State
We beat them last year, we'll do it again. They struggled against Kansas, and were easily beaten by OU. They should have lost to Marshall, but a bad coaching decision gave KSU the victory.

Iowa State
Their "big" win against Iowa has been downgraded due to Iowa awful play this season. They also lost to Baylor, at home, by 10 points. We get them at Kyle, and the Texas State ticket exchange will make this a sellout. Easy win.

@Texas Tech
This undefeated team has yet to beat anyone good. Their toughest opponent so far has been Nebraska, who really beat them sans an idiot lineman fumbling the ball. They struggled to get their offense going against Kansas, and their defense allowed Sam Houston State to score 21 on them. Nebraska also recorded a season high point total against Tech.

@Oklahoma
They lost to TCU, at home. If you can't beat Texas Christian, you sure as hell can't beat Texas A&M. OU was blown away by Texas and UCLA, and stuggled against the mighty Golden Hurricanes of Tulsa. Rhett Bomar, their starting QB, is Stephen McGee Lite. Adrian Peterson, their lone offensive weapon, is battling injuries and class schedules.

Texas
The Aggies are 7-3 in their last 10 games against Texas @Kyle Field. Texas is not as good as most people think. The odds that Colorado, Tech, or Baylor upsets them this year are higher than you think. Due to the fact that Texas is our arch-rival, the Aggies will put everything they have into this game. There will certainly be a crowd of 86K+, giving A&M a huge home-field advantage. Mack Brown has never won a championship of any kind in his tenure at Texas, so why is this year any different?

I agree with you on OSU and ISU.
I think KSU will be a tough game for us unless we get it together by then.
Tech may not have proven themselves before Nebraska, but Nebraska is no pushover this year, I have little faith in this game in Lubbock even if we improve.
OU is down this year, but TCU is a decent team...they will probably win their conference after beating BYU and Wyoming on the road and Utah (I know the MWC is no powerhouse, but they still deserve some credit, though that credit is obviously diminished due to the SMU loss). OU will give us trouble if for no other reason than Stoops will be pulling out all stops in an effort to salvage his season, and for some reason I'm not convinced Fran is the best motivator for our team (especially on the road).
The Texas game will be so critical to them, and likely not that important to us at that point in the season...which could very likely mean that we come out firing on all cylinders and give them a run for their money or that we come out with the force of the runner up team in a nursing home 42 tournament.

Not that I disagree with your points diver, but this is an "optimism" thread.

We will cream the rest of our opponents.







Damnit, ran out of koolaid. Gotta go make some more. Just kidding, I do have some faith.

Sorry, guess it would help if I could read (or at least actually comprehend what I read)....What bowl would you guys most like to see us in...I'm thinking Alamo cause the seats in the Cotton bowl are too close to the seats in front and my legs are too long to be comfortable.

I don't believe we'll win out, but I seriously believe we will win, at minimum, our next three games. OU seems likely to be an Aggie victory, and the Texas and Tech games, although unlikely, are winnable.

I seriously believe everything I wrote. The Big 12 is weak this year, which gives A&M more hope. If we hadplayed like this last year we would have been 3-8, but I think every team we play from here on out is overrated.

Yea, I should clarify my "optimistic" view

OSU - win
KSU - winnable
ISU - win
Tech - I plead the 5th for fear of incriminating myself as not "optimistic"
OU - winnable (and good time to avenge the 77-0 back in Norman)
TU - winnable

I think all games are winnable...optimism ended....kind of like Army could beat USC.

Changes at key positions have to be made or we might not win another game....thats not being pessimistic, thats being realistic.

We will crush the rest of our opponents. We are a unstoppable force hell bent on revenge. We can give our team rifles and send the rest of our troops home because that the amount of destruction they are capable of.

This wasn't meant to be a sarcastic "we're #1" topic, I wanted to have this to be a "let's look on the bright side" topic.

Independence Bowl. It's close to Longview(where my sister lives), so I wouldn't have to get a hotel room. Also, the projected SEC team for the Independence Bowl(according to collegefootballnews.com) is South Carolina. I know we can beat the Gamecocks, and having a win over a Steve Spurrier team would be cool.

Yea, last time we went to the Snow...err Independence Bowl was a unique experience. I could go with that, I'd like to say the Ags have beat Spurrier. But I like the idea of playing an SEC school over a Big10 in the Alamo, then maybe southernfriedfootball.com would come and give us more pretty pictures.

I am all for it! I never really thought about it, but you are right.....we don't have to be good is all our opponents suck worse than we do!

Kinda makes you wonder, did we hire Fran and tell him that we want him to make us winners? Or did we hire him and tell him that we wanted him to make us as good as OU? If the latter, mission accomplished.
