Jacoby Matthews isn't some huge loss for us. He never lived up to his recruitment rating when he was here. And he was asked to find another place to play ball. When the new staff got here, he never bought into the program. He was too used to the country club mentality of the Jimbo era. This is addition by subtraction.

[@mattreeves7891]

None of yalls players lived up to anything lol that’s on the school not the kid

[@CaseyHarman]

@mattreeves7891 Shemar Stewart, Bryce Anderson, GBD, Connor Weigman, etc. I could go on and on.

The biggest challenge for A&M will be getting acclimated to a new coaching staff and new system with so many new players. People are leaving not because of the program; they are leaving because they are realizing they don't fit in for some reason and won't get playing time. Key facts about Texas A&M, despite the portal transfers: 1. Texas A&M ranks #1 in the SEC for returning production; 2. Texas A&M ranked #2 for portal recruits. 3. This is still a top 10 roster talent. 4. 22 of the players from the #1 All-time recruiting class are still on campus. 5. Vegas has Conner Weigman as 8th best odds for winning the Heisman. 6. The Aggies have the deepest RB room with 3 running backs who could start at most programs. 7. The DL acquired, already stout, acquired nearly 30 sacks from the portal and will be the strength of the defense. 8. A&M weaknesses or "question marks" will be at LB depth; WR production; O-line unit.

*biggest challenge for A&M is they are not the university of TEXAS

[@chopkong]

@@Atx512fool Why would anyone want to go to a school where half the student body is gender-confused; supports DEI (which is now outlawed in Texas); child mutilation; reverse discrimination; is incapable of independent thought; and don't know which bathrooms to use? LOLOLOL 🤣😂🤣

⁠@@Atx512foolunbelievable. Thank God we’re not tu. To all of the serious folks on here, we need to shore up our O-Line. Just signed another one. Gig Em👍🏼

[@devisedbydev2764]

Wow! Someone who came with FACTS! Enough said. Everyone else is completely clueless about this program. We have trimmed almost ALL the fat. Some of that fat was absolutely created by Jimbo Fisher. He treated 5 stars with golden gloves and created a terrible work culture. And Texas Horns talking? Please. Try looking at the current status of your baseball program. And be smart, keep your head down 1st year in SEC. Cause you have no clue what is coming. SEC is no Big 12.

[@JJ-yx6jy]

Classic Aggie delusion.

[@kyleverdun4586]

I would argue aTm IS the state school. Academically aTm is rated higher at most major categories than UT. We have more students, bigger stadiums, the only Tier 1 Biology lab in the state. Also, since aTm was able to hand out full ride schorships in 1971, aTm has beating UT in more head to head football games. Oh yea, this spring, aTm placed 5th at nationals in track and UT 18th. The Aggies demolished UT in Austin in front of a record crowd in baseball a month ago. aTm is has had more 1st and 2nd round draft picks than UT over the last 2 decades and has had more wins in football over the last 17 years. To say that UT is the top Texas school is pretty ignorant. As is stands right now Jimbo had more wins in his first 3 years than Stark does. You forget aTm finished 4th in the nation in Jimbos 3rd year.

[@JJ-yx6jy]

😂😂😂 More Aggie lunacy and cherry picking. My God where to start with this delusion?

[@aggiefarfromhome9642]

Got me again. 😅 Thanks and Gig'em 👍

Notre Dame at A&M. They said "very winnable?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Oh okie dokie

[@brianjirish]

How are you gonna mention A&M defense but not ND defense? Who clearly has the better all around defense? SMH

[@marmar247]

I'm Just happy that we don't have to suffer under Jimbo and that boring Prostyle Offense in which none of our highly ranked/ recruited receivers could get open within the scheme.

[@devisedbydev2764]

Jimbo really stunk things up. He created a terrible culture. Elko is cleaning house and players who dont have a blue collar mentality? Hit the portal baby! So glad to see us back to a hard working culture.

[@Logan_ismyname]

I kinda hate how every single college football personality is going “Now Texas A&M is going a little under the radar. They’re underdogs. They aren’t getting a bunch of hype, but….” And then proceeds to hype them up. Like man just leave us alone 😭

[@Hookah_Horns]

[@milesonyegbule8922]

On point!

[@bobwilliams5506]

DANG! I thought for sure it would be Jimblow Fisher that would "kill" A&M!!

[@kyleverdun4586]

Aggs lost 19 players to the portal while UT has lost 24. Do your research before you compare them to UT. If you wanna compare aTm to other schools in the portal you will see that they are not even close to being a school who lost the most players.

This dudes grill is jacked.

[@rynebozzell]

TAMU, without a couple of years from Johnny Manziel, is like Mississippi State, or South Carolina; not that good. TAMU will likely be 6-5 going into the Texas game.

[@ST-ov8cm]

That was confusing….he said of A&M, “we may not be the state school”. I don’t know what he meant. A&M was the first state school in Texas. It is the oldest and largest state school in Texas (and largest in the nation). What did he mean?

[@chopkong]

Yes, not only that, but keep in mind, kids in Texas who wanted to avoid military inscription went to UT; while the Aggies were busy defending the country during WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam, those cowards at TU were draft-dodging while taking a liberal arts classes. That is a major reason why our football teams were depleted throughout the years until the mid-70's. If you look at the modern era since 1975 (end of Vietnam war) Texas A&M holds a 19-18 edge over Texas. This something most Texas fans don't understand when they shout "...76-37 all time...". If you count the non-war eras, the record is much closer; particularly since the end of the Vietnam war.

[@JJ-yx6jy]

@@chopkong Bwaahahaha, yet the service academies had no problem winning championships during that time. DKR is a memorial field dedicated to University of Texas veterans. Nice try with your brainwashing though. 1939 was your last football championship. LOL wow.
