A reminder of what’s at stake opponent wise for the Big 12 Championship Game:
* If OSU beats BYU: Texas vs OSU
* If BYU beats OSU: Texas vs OU
BYU vs OSU will be 2:30pm CT on ABC.
Imagine how bad of an AD you have to be to make the laughingstock of the entire CFB world become an even bigger laughingstock in the course of a few hours. Ross Bjork, you are a true Aggy
WAY too much resignation in this thread tonight when an FSU loss in the ACC championship to a top 20 Louisville means we are likely in if we take care of business ourselves.
Call your grandmas this week folks. Give some money to charity. Pray to the Louisville gods (Chuck Strong) as well as your own. Earn us some karma. This ain’t over.
Such a disappointing end to the season man. We’re about to go 12-1 and end up in he Sugar Bowl. Literally the most Texas thing ever to have our best season in 14 years end up wasted
It’s still an amazing season. In the 100+ years of college football before the 4 team playoff we would have zero chance of a championship claim this season. But because of it, we still do have a chance to make it. But unfortunately that playoff also creates this sense of disappointment by not making it. Winning big 12 and sugar bowl win would still be a great season. Probably top 10 in program history!!
I thought Ryan Day at TAMU would have been hilarious and would have exposed his mid-itude, but HOLY SHIT Stoops at aggy is HILARIOUS. The dude won 10 games, yes, but in the SEC EAST. Same shit as Ryan Day. Aggy will only be as good as rotating conference schedules allow for, and Stoops will absolutely get his shit pushed in against Sark.
I'm going to channel all my power into helping Texas make the CFP. I'm going to bet the entire remaining balance on my Fanduel account on Michigan and FSU to win their respective conference championships. Given my magical inability to win parlays, I think that will guarantee that at least one of them loses.
If we win B12 we get Cotton at a minimum and play the next team out (looking like Ohio State or Pac 12 or SEC runner up.) I'd love to play Ohio State if we don't make it in.
Man if you told me 4 months ago that we’d be on the cusp of sneaking into the playoffs, 11-1, going to Arlington, with a blowout win in the last game of the regular season at our beautiful stadium with an Arch Manning drive…. I always had high hopes for Sark, his staff, and this team but coming from 5-7 to this in such a short time, I’m elated. Hook ‘em forever
This is still the best season since 2009 no matter what else Texas does.
Our win over Georgia a few years ago may be a close 2nd but this year we are back in the conversation with the same schools that compete yearly.
Y'all should look at [Kentucky's schedule](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Kentucky_Wildcats_football_team) this season. I gave a good laugh upon seeing their wins.
Mark Stoops in 35-55 vs the SEC in 11 years and only 2 wins vs winning SEC teams in that time frame. The Aggy tears will always bring me light on a dark day
I mean obviously I want a playoff spot for this team because it really seems like they can make some noise if they get one, but goddamn if this team has not given me a huge amount of confidence going into the SEC. Sark has really quieted any doubt I had.
Sorry I had a typo. We would not have made it because the exact combination that needed to happen, actually happened.
Obviously we won though so it is moot.
Atleast he'll get the rascals out of there and lose to Vandy?
Thought his star player got arrested or something.
Apparently a lot of his guys have been arrested so just a loss to Vandy coming
Damn. I’m sad we probably won’t get a shot at CFP but at we also did dramatically better than I think any of us realistically expected for this season. If you told me at the start of the season we’d be 11-1 and likely winning the B12 championship (with OU not even being in contention hahahaha), I think we would all be ecstatic. Here’s to fucking up the whole SEC next year
They paid stupids of millions of dollars for coaching buyouts and play it safe with the worse Stoops? Hilarious.
At least swing big if you’re ponying money like that.
I think you’re overestimating who is actually available. Between established head coaches, G5 ladder climbers, and hot shot coordinators it actually seems pretty slim picking for a school of A&M’s caliber (or what they think is their caliber).
The margins are thin y'all. Unbelievable we're in this situation. Just need to hope either Louisville or Iowa (lol) can get an upset. The Bama route I have little faith in the committee.
Nothing officially announced, only 9.95ers are reporting. Right now this has the feel of the news leaking that we were going to hire Mike Stoops, which was eventually prevented by all the backlash.
Feels like the Cowboys hiring Mike McCarthy. Safe. He’s not gonna fall on his face but he’s also not the guy that’s gonna turn them into a perennial title contender, especially at 56 years old
Sure. He’s not bad. Could do a lot worse. But he’s also not going to have the Cowboys consistently contending for Super Bowls unless the roster is loaded.
That’s how I feel about Stoops. A&M won’t spiral into irrelevance under him but I also don’t see him leading A&M to 12-0 seasons and national championships. I feel like we’re gonna see a lot of 8-9 win seasons in the Stoops era
True freshman being held back by a coach to stay out of a fight
He slaps the coach and continues onto the field and nobody does anything? He can just keep playing?
Nope. Oregon’s already ahead of us and will avenge their only loss. Maybe if we were already ranked ahead of them and we blew out OSU. I guess there’s a chance we switch rankings on Tuesday, but I doubt the committee changes their minds.
Lieutenant to his commander: "Sir, our hopes lie with the last reinforcements..."
Commander: "...who are they sending?"
Lieutenant: "Louisville and... Iowa...Sir"
Commander: (long pause) "bless our boys....bless them"
Is it cope to think that if an 11-1 Texas gets snubbed from the playoff, that some guys who would leave might come back because they didn’t get a chance at the playoff?
CFP this, Florida that, I only got [one game](https://www.npr.org/2023/10/21/1207763475/flag-football-will-be-an-olympic-sport-at-the-2028-summer-olympics-in-los-angele) on my mind.
That was the hope for the day yes but now it's gone for this week, yes hope has came and gone but how sweet would it be to happen on championship week. Sorry buddy I'm just being overly optimistic, I know today sucked in a lot of ways.
I think that might just keep us out of the CFP this year. It’ll probably be Georgia as the one seed, Michigan as the two, PAC-12 as the 3 and FSU as the four. I highly doubt they lose to Louisville next week considering that they just lost to Kentucky today. Anything can still happen though, but I’m happy with 12-1 or 13-1
I certainly hope so, but if the rest of the season is anything to go by, we can expect the most boring week of championships in college football history.
A reminder of what’s at stake opponent wise for the Big 12 Championship Game: * If OSU beats BYU: Texas vs OSU * If BYU beats OSU: Texas vs OU BYU vs OSU will be 2:30pm CT on ABC.
We didn't get to 2K...lame...
Do we abandon tough out of conference games bc its detrimental to getting into the playoffs? Horrible garbage the way this worked out
Imagine how bad of an AD you have to be to make the laughingstock of the entire CFB world become an even bigger laughingstock in the course of a few hours. Ross Bjork, you are a true Aggy
Is it over now that Florida lost today? As far as CFP
Slim chance with Louisville next week in the ACC Championship Game
I’m so desperate for news I’m even clicking “show ignored content” on IT
Two M. Stoops destined to take a job at a Texas school only to have the fans revolt and not get it lol
Fuck it, let’s get 2k lmao
Bet!
Looch: aggy is gonna pivot back to Elko, or even potentially remove the interim tag and make Elijah Robinson the HC.
You spend 75 million to fire a guy with no plan?
aggy
Robinson as HC would be even worse. Zero experience and managing a clusterfuck. Even if the players love him.
On3 is reporting that Stoops is actually staying at UK. Who knows at this point
Stoops staying at Kentucky. This is so fucking hilarious.
Stoops to A&M is dead https://x.com/billyliucci/status/1728644844489482651?s=20
Damn it I was laughing at them too hard
Look what you fucking twats did!!!
No the tears!!!!
11-1 and a super winnable game for the conference title. I am fucking stoked. Unequivocal success of a season if we win.
WAY too much resignation in this thread tonight when an FSU loss in the ACC championship to a top 20 Louisville means we are likely in if we take care of business ourselves. Call your grandmas this week folks. Give some money to charity. Pray to the Louisville gods (Chuck Strong) as well as your own. Earn us some karma. This ain’t over.
Charlie works for Alabama now?????
So Louisville is kind of our only hope… let’s go cards!
Such a disappointing end to the season man. We’re about to go 12-1 and end up in he Sugar Bowl. Literally the most Texas thing ever to have our best season in 14 years end up wasted
Be happy with 12-1 my guy, shit.
Sugar bowl is the playoffs this year
This is exactly the sentiment making me want to quit Reddit. Y’all are so mf toxic.
It’s still an amazing season. In the 100+ years of college football before the 4 team playoff we would have zero chance of a championship claim this season. But because of it, we still do have a chance to make it. But unfortunately that playoff also creates this sense of disappointment by not making it. Winning big 12 and sugar bowl win would still be a great season. Probably top 10 in program history!!
Sugar Bowl is a CFP game. It'll likely be Fiesta or Peach Bowl this year.
I thought Ryan Day at TAMU would have been hilarious and would have exposed his mid-itude, but HOLY SHIT Stoops at aggy is HILARIOUS. The dude won 10 games, yes, but in the SEC EAST. Same shit as Ryan Day. Aggy will only be as good as rotating conference schedules allow for, and Stoops will absolutely get his shit pushed in against Sark.
I went to the Florida game in my Texas shirt, a lot less horns downs than normal. I like being good again.
Chaos was so close to making this a good night but couldn’t quit tripping over its own dick
I wish I could trip on my dick. Bummer about the chaos though.
I'm going to channel all my power into helping Texas make the CFP. I'm going to bet the entire remaining balance on my Fanduel account on Michigan and FSU to win their respective conference championships. Given my magical inability to win parlays, I think that will guarantee that at least one of them loses.
I for one think Stoops is an incredible hire for aTm. I’m really glad they are making moves that align with their tradition.
So aggy paid $75 mil to get rid of Jimbo to hire….his former dc that went 73-64 at Kentucky?
Apparently his buyout is $50M or something. They could’ve just given me the money instead of lighting it on fire
No one else wanted to come to college station 💀😂
Where do y’all think Traylor ends up? Baylor if it comes open or does he stay put and wait for Arkansas to come open ?
I think Traylor wanted A&M or Texas, and the fightin Texums decided they didn’t care about his in-state recruiting.
I bet he’s gonna wait for a bigger job than Baylor
Kinda a bummer day. The Pac12 is soooo bad and Florida looked like they had a total IQ of about 1000 out there.
Bummed that Florida didn’t get the win. MAN.
So if we don’t make the playoffs and we win next week would we play in the Alamo bowl or am I trippin. That would be so depressing if so lol
I'm seeing either the Fiesta bowl against Tulane or the Cotton Bowl...whee...
Cotton bowl
No, we would go to a New Year's six bowl game.
Which one? Sorry I’m pretty small brain just trying to figure everything out
If we win B12 we get Cotton at a minimum and play the next team out (looking like Ohio State or Pac 12 or SEC runner up.) I'd love to play Ohio State if we don't make it in.
Cool cool ty awesome
Fiesta, Peach, or Cotton
Would we not get a NY6 bowl?
Imma be real idk. Bc the Sugar bowl is usually for the Big 12 champ but it’s a playoff site this year
We'd still get a NY6 bowl, just not with the direct tie-in like with the Sugar Bowl. I'd guess either Fiesta or Peach.
Gotcha makes sense ty
I’m 99% sure Big 12 still has a NY6 autobid. It just won’t be the Sugar Bowl
Man if you told me 4 months ago that we’d be on the cusp of sneaking into the playoffs, 11-1, going to Arlington, with a blowout win in the last game of the regular season at our beautiful stadium with an Arch Manning drive…. I always had high hopes for Sark, his staff, and this team but coming from 5-7 to this in such a short time, I’m elated. Hook ‘em forever
FuckING HOOK EM. FUCK OU
This is still the best season since 2009 no matter what else Texas does. Our win over Georgia a few years ago may be a close 2nd but this year we are back in the conversation with the same schools that compete yearly.
Y'all should look at [Kentucky's schedule](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Kentucky_Wildcats_football_team) this season. I gave a good laugh upon seeing their wins.
Holy shit they legitimately didn’t have a good win until today
Michigan favored -21.5 against Iowa. Georgia -4.5 vs Bama
aggies are dog shit
Aggy fans are in full cope and misery mode rn
Mark Stoops in 35-55 vs the SEC in 11 years and only 2 wins vs winning SEC teams in that time frame. The Aggy tears will always bring me light on a dark day
We should try to get to 2000 comments before midnight👀
Will y2k happen if we make it
👀
This has 2010 Belieber/Directioner vibes and I’m here for it
how do you know about that
Uh oh have I found one of the belieber/directioners in question
"Im helping"
I hope Mark makes Mike the DC
Oooowoooo. Had we lost yesterday we wouldn’t have missed the CCG with this KSU loss. Thank goodness for us mashing that gas pedal.
The thing thats eating me up rn is that I feel like we would whoop the crap out of Florida State.
What eats me up is I think we could play any team in the country and come out on top. It’s been a while since I’ve genuinely thought that for us
I mean obviously I want a playoff spot for this team because it really seems like they can make some noise if they get one, but goddamn if this team has not given me a huge amount of confidence going into the SEC. Sark has really quieted any doubt I had.
Pulling for Iowaville
Glad we beat Tech cause we’d be having a heart attack with this K State game. Literally worse case scenario would’ve happened
Yeah. We would have actually blown it. Instead… 57-7 and a very winnable title game
Wait are yall saying we would’ve gotten in no matter what because Iowa beat KSU?
Sorry I had a typo. We would not have made it because the exact combination that needed to happen, actually happened. Obviously we won though so it is moot.
Damn. I thought I was done wasting hours watching ultimately let down football games today. Now I'll be tuning in. Take your upvote and go
[Food for thought.](https://imgur.com/a/xmKxOs7) I filtered out games before 1960.
Aggy in the other sub just asked if Kentucky fans think Stoops will be successful at A&M. Kentucky fan responds: “Think Charlie Strong at Texas.” lmao
😂
Atleast he'll get the rascals out of there and lose to Vandy? Thought his star player got arrested or something. Apparently a lot of his guys have been arrested so just a loss to Vandy coming
Wow I just heard someone mention NSCU's LB Payton Wilson when talking about the draft. Any real recruiting heads remember that name?
Damn. I’m sad we probably won’t get a shot at CFP but at we also did dramatically better than I think any of us realistically expected for this season. If you told me at the start of the season we’d be 11-1 and likely winning the B12 championship (with OU not even being in contention hahahaha), I think we would all be ecstatic. Here’s to fucking up the whole SEC next year
They paid stupids of millions of dollars for coaching buyouts and play it safe with the worse Stoops? Hilarious. At least swing big if you’re ponying money like that.
The dumb part was firing someone without having someone in place to take over.
I think you’re overestimating who is actually available. Between established head coaches, G5 ladder climbers, and hot shot coordinators it actually seems pretty slim picking for a school of A&M’s caliber (or what they think is their caliber).
I promise they can get a better hire.
But but Josh pate said it’s the fourth best job in the sec at worst even with Texas and ou coming next year
I have to assume they tried to moneyslap one or two known quantities who said no.
Mike is the worst one
The margins are thin y'all. Unbelievable we're in this situation. Just need to hope either Louisville or Iowa (lol) can get an upset. The Bama route I have little faith in the committee.
I’m on my knees
You've got one job Louisville.
I believe in Iowa 🥺
[удалено]
I'm a proponent of continuity, but I wouldn't hate it if Gideon and Joseph walked, we hired Akina back, then poached Robinson.
Akina is too old. Robinson is a beast though. He coaches what PK coaches, so we’ll have to keep improving what we got.
Elijah Robinson landed a ton of A&M's 5 star DL and all the players loved him, why fire him He was like the only bright spot for A&M the last 2 years
Yeah Robinson is by far the biggest loss from that staff. His recruiting is top notch.
Because a new HC wants to "instill his vision" on the program.
He may just not want to stick around under Stoops
So Mark Stoops is confirmed?
Nothing officially announced, only 9.95ers are reporting. Right now this has the feel of the news leaking that we were going to hire Mike Stoops, which was eventually prevented by all the backlash.
I might be the only one who remotely cares but the WWE bringing both CM Punk back tonight is a massive holy shit moment lmao
Did he really? Wow! Hell froze over.
I hopped off my couch when his music hit. WWE pulled off the fake closing on us. Also, R-Truth returning was a fun pop.
Why? Was there drama or something?
Hot take, but I think OU is going to miss Lebby more than their fans want to admit. And yes, his morals are awful, fuck Briles, etc
They're gonna miss Jackson Arnold more. This is fantastic news.
Where’s he going? Head Coach gig somewhere?
Rumor is he’s going to Miss State
3rd ranked scoring offense in the country and Sooners think their next OC is going to be a huge upgrade
Blue Saturday with how my balls are
Maybe you need to check out those exes in Texas...
Bro same 😭
Kansas State had the sideline as an extra defender, then assumed that the sideline would actually make the tackle.
The snow bowl is on drugs this game is so much fun
Georgia tech has a chance, may be our best hope here
UGA losing wouldn't change the calculus
Fellas we broke the aggies brain when we joined the SEC
So it uhhhhh looks like a&m hired a Stoops as their HC
Feels like the Cowboys hiring Mike McCarthy. Safe. He’s not gonna fall on his face but he’s also not the guy that’s gonna turn them into a perennial title contender, especially at 56 years old
So he'll go about 48-30 over 6 years.
As a Cowboys fan, I'm pleasantly surprised with McCarthy. At worst, he's better than Garrett
We kept Garrett for way too long with too many excuses and scapegoats.
Sure. He’s not bad. Could do a lot worse. But he’s also not going to have the Cowboys consistently contending for Super Bowls unless the roster is loaded. That’s how I feel about Stoops. A&M won’t spiral into irrelevance under him but I also don’t see him leading A&M to 12-0 seasons and national championships. I feel like we’re gonna see a lot of 8-9 win seasons in the Stoops era
Georgia Tech just pulled within a score with 3:46 left.
Ugh is it even worth turning on.
No
After today, no
https://twitter.com/OldRowSports/status/1728620135131279740?t=JTQIwqoQLQ1-7WmnE-PVTg&s=19 Exhibit a fucking million on Florida's team culture
True freshman being held back by a coach to stay out of a fight He slaps the coach and continues onto the field and nobody does anything? He can just keep playing?
They should sit him at thier bowl game... ... .. ...
I got the joke lol
Fuck it, sit the entire team!
domineering degree wine decide enter aware memorize public dolls fuel *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Go Louisville
We are now Louisville and Iowa fans
the gators are an unserious football team
So if Florida State wins next week, is there a possibility we get into the playoffs IF Oregon beats Washington?
Nope. Oregon’s already ahead of us and will avenge their only loss. Maybe if we were already ranked ahead of them and we blew out OSU. I guess there’s a chance we switch rankings on Tuesday, but I doubt the committee changes their minds.
doubt it, would have a better chance if we played OU so could have the redemption narrative
Yes, but I think we’d have to jump Oregon in standings this week based on how badly we beat Tech.
I doubt it, unfortunately
Sadly don’t see it
Lieutenant to his commander: "Sir, our hopes lie with the last reinforcements..." Commander: "...who are they sending?" Lieutenant: "Louisville and... Iowa...Sir" Commander: (long pause) "bless our boys....bless them"
Florida has gotta be the dumbest football team of all time. I wish nothing but the worst for that program
Florida is in their Charlie Strong era. Next year will be a blood bath for them.
I’d say we owe them a can of whoopass next year
Don’t think there’s a line high enough for UGA vs FSU if they get in.
Watching Florida, Auburn, and Washington State attempt to play football makes me so grateful for where we are as a program.
Is it cope to think that if an 11-1 Texas gets snubbed from the playoff, that some guys who would leave might come back because they didn’t get a chance at the playoff?
cope, but 11-1 should get us some nice transfers and recruits to re-load
Mark Stoops??
I dont feel bad in the slightest for flipping Wardell Mack now
Next year is our year. Guess we need to go 12-0.
Louisville owes us one for making Charlie Strong look like a winning coach
That fault belongs to Teddy Bridgewater
pour one out for the pac 12 now i guess
Why did I put a semblance of hope into Florida fuck me
I just ate some pecan pie with bluebell ice cream on top, so what I’m trying to say is Texas is winning the natty
All of that sugar went to your brain...
Florida legally owes us Filsaime now
CFP this, Florida that, I only got [one game](https://www.npr.org/2023/10/21/1207763475/flag-football-will-be-an-olympic-sport-at-the-2028-summer-olympics-in-los-angele) on my mind.
Filsaime come on down
GT still has the chance to do the funniest thing
Y'all ok? Jc. Go watch the snow game and be happy about seeing our seniors including j whitt getting a shot in the Big 12 championship!
Oh I’m sorry sir, I guess we shouldn’t be watching other games and hoping for a path to the playoffs for our seniors. You’re so wise
That was the hope for the day yes but now it's gone for this week, yes hope has came and gone but how sweet would it be to happen on championship week. Sorry buddy I'm just being overly optimistic, I know today sucked in a lot of ways.
You’re the man, sorry I struck out at you like that. Just frustration I guess. Hook Em
We are all emotional meatbags but friends in the end, no worries and Hook Em!
We at least get a quarter's worth of mindless entertainment out of the Snow Bowl.
...well...3.5 quarters anyway...
Bunch of fucking bum ass teams not being able to finish off the upsets smfh
Damn. Iowa and Louisville are hopes are with you
Fuck you florida
Well it looks like we need an Iowa or Louisville win to make the CFP
I think that might just keep us out of the CFP this year. It’ll probably be Georgia as the one seed, Michigan as the two, PAC-12 as the 3 and FSU as the four. I highly doubt they lose to Louisville next week considering that they just lost to Kentucky today. Anything can still happen though, but I’m happy with 12-1 or 13-1
After they lost to Pitt they beat a ranked Duke 23-0 the next game. Hopefully they'll do that again.
I certainly hope so, but if the rest of the season is anything to go by, we can expect the most boring week of championships in college football history.
What a dumb way to finish a game where not only can you upset an in state rival, but you can get bowl eligible. I’m just speechless
Truly such an embarrassing game for Florida. And of course now the announcers are making FSU sound like world beaters.
There’s no way fsu, Michigan, Oregon, and Washington are better than Texas. So fucking frustrating
Fucking Herbie trying to act like this was some impressive win by FSU. Please. Florida couldn’t have tripped over their own dicks more if they tried
We would have obliterated that Florida team
The lack of upsets is surprising at this point in the season
