A&M battled more than I thought they would but the Pokes get the win 31-23.

The media is going to count this as a sec school missing coach, 30 players and there starting qb, and only lost by one possession. Which translates to the big 12 sucks
Do they ever mention that ATM has pretty much never been that good?
This just blows my mind that that their 2nd and 3rd positions are 4 and 5 star guys and they are all getting paid a huge amount of money along with A&M paying over 10M to buy out Kevin Warren Sumlin and then 76M to buy out Fisher.
To put that in perspective...they paid "just to get rid of their last two coaches" enough to pay for our ISU Bridge, Stark Performance Center and the RV Village....lol
and yet they will never be happy. or other than a one hit wonder year, consistently good.
They are catching up to Texas as far as wasting money on former coaches.
Thank God every day we have Pollard. Jamie isn't perfect, but he's very effective.
Those Texas schools seem to have tons of money to waste.
The way I see it, when you have less money to work with, you tend to be more careful with how you allocate it.

Well said. I think they should do ROI calculations for P5 schools (they probably do privately)
I don't care, You still lost. That backup quarterback for A&M looked pretty good though.
Notre Dame put actual pressure on him and he folded pretty quick. Then there was the game they lost where he went into the crowd and started crying while being held by his mom. Not sure I would want him leading an NFL locker room.
Real nice weather at Fenway Park right now for SMU vs. BC. Mid 40's and hard rain.
Texas and Texas A&M have land in west Texas that generates oil revenue that goes to their endowments. It is over $300 million per year each.
another thing I was thinking about today with some of these big money schools is NIL and bowl games. Doesn't it seem odd that players are getting big money for NIL deals and then decide to transfer or sit out to prepare for the NFL? For example if Ohio State NIL is paying one of their best receivers 300k per year, and he decided to sit out to prep for the NFL, does anything happen?
there should almost be some sort of contract or agreement that says if you opt out of a bowl game, you lose X amount of your University generated NIL deal or something. Maybe there is, but just seems like people are doing whatever they want.

All the more reason to get us off of fossil fuels!
