So A&M beat Alabama without two starting receivers, their starting left tackle, their starting quarterback, two starting corners and their best defensive tackle, who got hurt midgame. And their best reserve DT.
If you ever doubted how much George Bush loved Texas A&M, the Aggie War Hymn was played as his casket was removed from his train, 4141.
At his request.
@GenMhayden
Other countries monitored their citizens’ phone calls under the guise of “national security.” One such group was called the Gestapo. Another the NKVD. A third was run by YOU. Comparison hurts, doesn’t it?
He didn’t have to do this. Nobody would have noticed if he hadn’t mentioned it — he wasn’t here and A&M wasn’t on his radar in ‘99. But he did. And that’s first class.
Ok, my tweet about A&M outscoring their last six opponents by a total of 203-88 was just retweeted by the state legislature. The CFP has pissed off an entire state (Orange people excluded).
My dad has been found! The truck hasn’t, but he has. I’m off to Brenham to get him. Thank you all for your support and prayers — I am more grateful than you will ever know.
Last night, A&M was missing:
QB Haynes King
OL Luke Matthews, Aki Ogunbiyi and Jahmir Johnson
WRs Hez Jones and Caleb Chapman
DT Shemar Turner
DE Tunmise Adeleye
CBs Brian George and Myles Jones
DT Jayden Peevy got hurt and didn’t return.
Still won.
A&M lost two receivers to the portal who combined for 4 catches for 27 yards and a touchdown. They've added two receivers who combined for 75 catches for 1,169 yards and 9 touchdowns last year.
According to a report from Syracuse University (and quoted by ESPN), only two athletic departments could be self-sustaining (no help from student fees or university support) without football ticket sales: Georgia and Texas A&M.
Yes, there will be football.
So when this happens to A&M, the national media calls it a blowout. When a battered Alabama team does the same to Ohio State, it’s an inspired effort by the Buckeyes. 🤬🤬🤬
Just got off the phone with

's folks. They wanted to let everyone know she is ok and they are so incredibly thankful for all the love, support and help received over the past day.
With the addition of Jordan Moko this morning, Texas A&M’s 2021 recruiting class is now up to 3rd nationally in the Rivals rankings, trailing only Alabama and Ohio State.
Man, I don't care if A&M makes the big dance or even the NIT. The turnaround engineered by Buzz Williams and the buy-in from his team is already remarkable.
Congratulations to Aggies Leon O’Neal, Micheal Clemons, Jayden Peevy, DeMarvin Leal, Kenyon Green, Tyree Johnson, Aaron Hansford, Isaiah Spiller and Jalen Wydermyer for being invited to the NFL Combine!
An amazing story. Two dear friends lost their baby girl within an hour of her birth last year. They want to adopt, but it costs $25,000. In what has to be a sign, she picked up a scratch off ticket...and won $25,000.
Texas: started 5th nationally. 21-11, knocked out in the second round of the Big 12 tournament.
A&M: picked 13th in the SEC, now 22-11, beat No. 4 and in the SEC Tourney semis.
Someone did a lot with a little. Someone did a little with a lot.
So Jimbo has visited virtually every A&M commit, been around the state, flown to Ga. for an in-home AND watched game film in 5 days. The man’s pace is insane.
Saw Zach Calzada’s folks were at the game yesterday. They’ve got a lot to be proud of because their son got thrown in a tough situation, took some licks but got the job done.
A&M was down at least a dozen guys, including 7 starters, last night, and got that sucker down to the last play. They've got issues, especially on the O-line, but you can't fault their effort last night.
Run into
@tdots25
coming off the field. Has a TD, all around great game. What’s he say? “I saw your little girl was TBall MVP today!”
All-SEC LB, all-world person.
Texas A&M ended the 2020 regular season 14th in total defense, 4th in rushing defense, 4th in sacks allowed, 3rd in time of possession and 2nd in 3rd down conversions. (That's nationally)
Something that is gnawing at me: why is it a 19-year-old is expected to go before the media and explain himself after a bad play, but a 50-year-old man strolls away with no accountability after he blows a call that alters a game?
Difference between 1st and 3rd in the rivals rankings tonight: 85 points.
Difference between 3rd and 4th: 545 points.
It really is A&M, Alabama, Georgia and everyone else.
After a bringing in an amazing recruiting haul in his work with
@Coach_TPrice
, Texas A&M defensive line coach
@CoachE_TAMU
has been named Rivals' 2022 Recruiter of the Year:
Braden Montgomery last year at Stanford (64 games): .336, 17 HR, 51 RBI
This year at A&M (28 games): .381, 16 HR, 47 RBI
Is that good? That seems good.
As most of you know, I deal with anxiety (and depression) issues from time to time. It’s really bad tonight for no reason. If you’d put in a good word, it would be appreciated. Sorry for the personal post.
So Demond Demas was allegedly attacked by his girlfriend’s dad before a disciplinary hearing today.
The dad is former Aggie WR Robert Ferguson.
What a soap opera.
A lot of big 12 fans this morning were using 50-7 to argue A&M would be middle of the pack in their conference. They may anoint A&M the Big 12 champs by the end of the 3rd quarter.
