Aggiescott,did you follow s.e.c football that closely before this season?? Anybody that has followed southeastern conference football for any length of time knows that defenses in this league are constantly making adjustments. I meant no disrespect to manziel or the aggies. I do however firmly believe that manziel is overrated as are the aggies. Surely you dont really think that you guys outplayed bama that saturday in tuscaloosa?? I said what i believe,bama beat themselves. You guys were indeed fortunate that bamas special teams(which played great football all year btw)commited the penalty near the end of regulation.
You guys were even more fortunate that aj mcarron threw the pick near the end of the game as well. Alabama seldom,and i mean very seldom shoots themselves in the foot with penalties and turnovers like that(especially in the fourth quarter). You guys played a great game against them,however if alabama doesnt make those two costly fourth quarter mistakes you guys wouldve lost that game. I am not an alabama fan,as you can see im just giving you my honest,objective opinion. As far as manziel goes like i said earlier defenses will be making adjustments to limit his opportunities(especially for big plays). While he did make some great throws against alabama,i honestly dont think hes anything special as far as being a pocket passer. Also,the aggies were indeed bragging about beating the h.e.double L out of alabama. Ryan swope and several of the other aggies were talking a bunch of smack after the game,when they got back to texas. I have a strong feeling you guys wont be as fortunate next year when alabama comes to college station.
Obviously I didn't follow as closely as I do now. Defenses adjust in every league dawg. It's talent level that you are able to recruit to make adjustments that matter. A&M has overtaken ou & texas in recruiting in texas and we have a monster class ready to sign in February. 2014 class is already taking shape very nicely. As far as us outplaying Alabama, I find it humorous that you feel the need to defend bama on this. Bama fans on this site congratulated A&M, they didn't make excuses. With your logic, A&M could have easily been 12-0 this year had we not missed multiple field goals, threw a few interceptions, etc. etc. take away just a few mistakes and we would have beat florida ands LSU. It's part of the game dawg. The interception made by Everett to win the game at bama, was a great play on our part. He played that perfectly.
As far as Manziel being overrated, ther are a whole lot of people who get paid for their opinions that would disagree with you! I'll leave it at that.
As far as the smack, that's just stupid. Swope is a class act. When you win probably one of the biggest games in school history, you've earned the right to celebrate a little dude. Nobody disrespected bama, we did celebrat though.
As far as the last sentence, I sometimes have "strong feelings" about my wife, but that doesn't always mean she feels the same way. We weren't "fortunate" dawg, we earned that 10-2 record dawg. Don't expect us to bow down to anyone, you don't know much about Texas A&M if that's what you expected.
What you witnessed in Texas A&M this year was a perfect storm. The right Coaching staff, QB, conference and offense came together! Bama may beat us in CS next year, but we will be a better team in 13 than we were in 12. Bank on it!
