i'm really nervous about our upcoming offseason. hopefully we won't lose any "key players" to the portal, i'm very nervous about that given the season we've just encountered. the coaching staff really has their work cutout for them this offseason, both in retaining players and "signing" new players... Lol key players. I can think of 3 tops i can think of waaaaaaaaaaaaay more than 3, but i guess you're just being sarcastic. not to mention the number of players on our roster who are "very talented" but don't look good on game day because of "poor coaching". brickhandler is a perfect example of that, particularly early in the season. same can be said for "kj"...

I know that this will bleed into the Game Week thread, but CAN WE GO OUT ON A WINNING NOTE AND BEAT CAMPBELL (again)?? If you had asked me this question earlier in the season, I would have said "Hail naw!" We absolutely stunk in our first 3 or 4 games. Now that we have steadily improved week after week, I will say, "Probably not!" Hey, let's face it, we are a lot better than we were, but we are who we are and that's not good. But stranger things have happened. I plan to be there to see how this team plays in its final game of the season.

I honestly don't see us having a large turnover in the portal this year. I think a lot of these kids have bought in and believe in Coach Brown. There'll definitely be turnover... Coach Brown pretty much said that in the press conference yesterday, and that if you don't believe in the vision, you probably don't need to be here. But I think we'll be okay. And I think that those coaches are going to be on the road Sunday morning to start locking down the next class of Aggies. There were a lot of things happening behind the scenes last year that contributed to us losing what we lost in the portal...I think this year's recruiting class could possibly pay dividends sooner than we think. I wanna see Coach do what he does.

Campbell is going to kill us. They see us as a rival and they remember last year. They've probably had this game circled on the calendar since the fourth quarter of last year. I wouldn't be surprised if we hit 35 and they hit 59 lol. Our defense isn't equipped to stop their game at all. Based on CAA Stats, Campbell is a little better than us on overall offense and we are a little better than they are on overall defense. Our rushing offense is better than Campbell, but our rushing defense is the worse in the conference. We have the 2nd best passing defense in the CAA, but that is very misleading because most teams don't pass as much against us because they know we are bad in stopping the run. But I can't omit that Campbell has the 3rd worse passing defense in the CAA. In my opinion, this could be a very evenly matched game given that it is a heated rematch and it appears that we found away to pass the ball in the last 2 games. I still give the edge to Campbell because they still found away not to beat themselves in 4 out of 10 games this season. We have not found away to cut down on these little but critical mistakes. caasports.com/stats.aspx?path=football&year=2023

That's why I said that I'm worried about our defense being able to hold up its end to win this game. And Turner is still listed as DOUBTFUL for this game, right?
But if we win a 54-49 game over The Humpties, I'll be elated!

Congrats to the Seniors on the football team. Please Campbell kick the ball to T. Cooke. I like him to get 1 return on Senior day.

According to his Twitter account, Blizzard is starting on Saturday. The chess game has started. Coach Brown wants to make sure that he knows that he is wanted and not to transfer or Coach Brown finally punishes KC for fumbling in the last few games.

Who's hump are you referring to ? Campbell 's AD and administrators and fans may see things differently . They love him at Campbell…and he can recruit…they’ve been performing better in the CAA than us in football… And if you want to talk about Campbell in other sports…they are likely winning the Baseball title. Top 25 team in Baseball When A&T wins the game on Saturday, will Coach Minter be so loved?

Coach Brown wants to make sure that he knows that he is wanted and not to transfer or Coach Brown finally punishes KC for fumbling in the last few games. I think it's going to be a RB by committee approach for this game . Blizzard will start but we may see the use of the other RB's also . Campbell has shown to be weak in run defense. This game will be decided in the trenches up front on both sides of the ball. Especially for our offensive line ,they have to bring it's a game. Because it doesn't matter who the ball carries are if the O linemen can't block . On the defensive side ,the D lineman have to continue to fight harder to get off blocks and the DB's have to come down hill with aggressive purpose and make the tackles. This is the last game for some in a Aggie uniform just go out there and leave it on the field and the rest will take care of itself.

According to his Twitter account, Blizzard is starting on Saturday. coach must've finally got tired of christian fumbling the ball. either that, or coach is trying to secure blizzard for next season with the thinking being that if he starts this week, he may not consider transferring after the season is over...
