Except for the fart against Colorado, you just don't bet against the Aggies at Kyle Field. OU is obviously a very good team. But I think more importantly, they are just playing great football. They make plays when they need them, and I know it sounds like sour grapes, but frankly, they are also getting lucky. When the QB heaves a pass 40 yds downfield off his back foot and it goes for a TD week after week, the football Gods are smiling on you big time. But regardless, you've got to admire Stoops and the job he has done. They have proven for three consecutive games that they can score almost at will against some of the best defenses in the country. And as far as the Horns are concerned, I still think they are just an above average team. They have beaten no one of any (and I mean any) significance. They were completely outclassed against the one (albeit right now, the best team in the country) good team they have played. And lost to a bad Stanford team. But the optimist in me says they are winning at home and that may result in a T+1 win. But right now, I think the Aggies have a better team. But if they start thinking about aTM, they will lose to both Tech and KU. They are not good enough to play poorly and win against decent competition.

Crazy things happen in College Station, I wish I were out of the country on that day. Right now, the Aggies look like they could beat us. We better get our shit together. What are your thoughts? Again, I hope I'm wrong but the Aggies worry me. Later
