Only the QB is somehow worse.

Anyone else unable to open the app to view their tickets?

John Emery, their starter who came back fast from a torn right ACL, tore his left one yesterday. Season over. Their backup is suspended after being hit with an aggravated assault charge. Like A&M and Texas, they're down to three scholarship backs.

RTFB!

Any one know of a No Huddle version of our game posted anywhere?

Saw where an ND Mod said it was ND. Any thoughts?

I don't think we saw more than 1 or 2 designed QB runs Saturday and they were both QB draw, IIRC. However, we ran the same inside zone with the RB over and over again. We had some success but with the way the Irish D was crashing on the RB it was begging for Weigman to pull it and run. Do we have any clue whether or not these were bad reads by Weigman or they weren't an option based on the play call. Meaning, was it 100% a handoff to the RB or was it a read-option for the QB?

@Mark Passwaters - can you comment on this or thoughts?

Still a bunch of leftover Labor Day lighting deals if you guys can grab them.

A look at the 2024 five-stars in Week 1 across college football:

Funny.

My sip buddy sent this to me, it is one of his former teachers who is an Ag, this Aggie family could use our help.

Johnson confirmed his attendance at Kyle Field for the opener and continues to say good things about the Aggies, where he took an official visit in the summer before the UGA pledge. RJ tells Rivals that A&M will be a factor in his recruitment going forward, so it's something to track a little bit more closely than originally considered imo.

The defense is just getting started and they look Wrecking Crew-ish.

It was a close game against a Top 10 team.

As bad as the offense looked, we almost or could have won the game.

This was not a conference game.

Early loss.

We have all seen Conner play way better than that. Surely, he hasn’t lost it all and forever.

But they nailed it.

After a full day plus to throw everyone under the bus that can be thrown, what really will it take to get this team on track to complete on a meaningful level?

As some have said, it's early in the season with a completely new coaching staff. Does this team just need a little time to gel? With a little time will they be firing on all cylinders when weeks 5 and 6 and 7 roll around?

Is it more than that? Do we really not have the personnel to complete? Do we have a mentality or culture that funnels the team to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?

Or do we just need better leadership? On the team? On the staff?

Or is it us? Have we been missing the leadership right here on AggieYell that could help provide that spark to kick this program in gear and get us to the levels that we dream of.

I think we all know the answer.

The leadership is once again among us, he just needs to take the reins. It is time.

I don’t like getting on here after a loss. The stupid shit that people say (me included) while they’re pissed off only pisses me off more. So I do other things. A couple of overall thoughts since the details of the game have been discussed ad nauseum.

First, this is the downside of playing a very difficult opponent in the opening game and it becomes an even bigger issue with a new coaching staff and a hell of a lot of new players. Open up with McNeese and this place is happy as can be and giggling about LSU.

Second, something was off with Weigman. We have seen him play very well when healthy. I don’t know if he was sick or what. The stupid ass rumors being thrown around about him could all be true and would apply to him throughout his whole career. None of that would have caused an outlier performance like that. And on a side note, I hate to break it to those that don’t know, but the majority of the team smokes weed. Not sure where some of you have been the last several years (decades).

Third, our offense and many others will look very bad against Notre Dame’s defense this year. They played very well and Weigman played poorly. ND’s offense struggled against our defense as well. They will put up a lot more points against the teams left on their schedule. They won’t face a defense as good as ours again, and our offense won’t see a defense like that either.

Fourth, our talent level is just fine. I stopped reading on whatever thread that asked which players would start at a select group of schools when running back was listed first. Well no shit our running back wouldn’t start at any of the top schools since he didn’t start at A&M this year until the starter was lost for the year. There are plenty of teams in this country, even in the conference(!), that would happily change rosters with A&M.

I was absolutely furious during and after that game, but I eventually moved on. I can’t dwell on it like some do because it’s not mentally healthy. Plus, I like to joke around and screw off on here a lot, but I actually do have more important shit on my plate than letting this consume my time and energy. I know most of you do as well. But even then, I’m sure some might hop on here and throw out some smartass comment meant to show how much I don’t know. And that’s fine. I’m not going to argue or debate anyone about it. I’ll just tell you to fvck off and to stick your opinion right up your ass. Respectfully, of course.

So with that said, I’m assuming the coaching staff has consumed every second of film from that game, see where adjustments/changes need to be made and are focused on the game plan for this week. Get things sorted out on the field Saturday, go to Gainesville and get a win there and onward and upward. We only get twelve of these guaranteed so hopefully the remaining eleven will be more enjoyable. Potty time over. Gig ‘em.

My Dad died a few weeks ago and we’re going through hundreds (thousands?) of photos and one pops up of a kid standing with Bear Bryant in a stadium. Wasn’t me or my brothers, but the stadium kind of looks like the Cotton Bowl, which would have been after 80 & 81 seasons (I attended both games), so the kid might be a cousin who also lived in Texas.

In an attempt to compare stadium pics, Bryant Denny, Legion Field, et al, I came across a group of over 300 Bama-related pics, several of them also A&M- related, including this one from the famous 2012 Johnny Football Aggies at Bama game, which I attended with my Pops.

AY was also on the scene! Happy Labor Day. JB

Of all the "transfer portal teams" only Ole Miss seems to be able to put together a very good teams year in, year out. Coaching teams with a lot of portal transfers is not like coaching a team with kids with 2-3-4 years in your program. Look at FSU. They're awful. When the rankings come out this week, it will be interesting to see how many of the top ranked took in a lot or portal players.

How is open borders working out for those folks? Doesn’t seem to be working too well. I bet @KeithDB and the other leftists will claim it is a conspiracy theory or doesn’t exist (like antifa)….

Offensively, says they struggled in the passing game (yeah). Says they need to create better opportunities to get players open. Says Conner never got his feet settled, that they got out of control and that caused his inaccuracy. Indicates he might have been gunshy. Says Weigman knew it, he saw it on the film.

For most of the game, the defense played the way they wanted them to, but slipped up twice and that cost them the game. Says they're especially looking at second and long, where they really didn't perform well.

"They made the plays and we didn't, and we have to figure out how to close that gap."

Says McNeese is a RPO, spread it out kind of offense. He knows all their guys. Not like Jimbo, mentioning numbers.

Says the offensive line definitely improved, that the pockets were cleaner. Noted that the secondary didn't give up anything deep.

Separation for the receivers isn't just on them, some of it is playcalling and route-running. Says the receivers have to play faster, not just run faster. As for Bussey, they're still getting him ready.

Says they're making decisions on more than 1,000 reps in the spring and summer.

Mark Nabou is out for the year. I'm surprised, because he got hurt and came back in.

Says they had poor leverage on the third level on the big runs and they have to figure that out fast.

Blames Weigman's issues on rust. "Nobody diminishes what it is to go out onto Kyle Field for the first time...that's not going out to practice on Tuesday."

Says Weigman is a competitor and a winner and they're still confident in him.
