The offense has exceeded the expectations of most, while the defense has performed worse than the expectations of perhaps all.

Annual stats are usually tallied at the end of a football season.

We've had 5 games, 2 of which were against OU and Arkansas, so I don't think we can compare anything just yet and thats whether it be 2006, 1999 or 1988 for that matter.

And again, the SBC of 2007 is hardly the same one we found ourselves in in its first 6 years of existence; also with a UNT (back at the NCAA D1-A classification since 1995) AND because of that............ Mean Green football having several more years head start at that level than most SBC schools did sp maybe with our having such a head start back in D1-A we should have been beating most of our fellow member SBC schools (most out of 1-AA) worse than we did in our league's first 6 years?

On another front, anybody think all those Aggies wanting Coach Fran's head the last year or so may all be sporting that Sylvester the Cat Just Got Caught Eating the Canary (Guilty) Look on their faces today?

TAMU now sits alone at the top of the Big 12 South at 2 and 0 at the end of all of yesterday's Game Days. :rolleyes:

Our schedule was a little easier last year, and the belt was softer. We have played better teams this year including the belt.

Lafayette is now ranked 6th in rushing offense this year.
