LOOK: Texas A&M's renovated football complex is shiny

[Jason Howeth]

Freaking wow. This place has got to be up there with the Alabama and Oregon digs. Anyone want to help donate to get this type of facility?

Great facility. Love how they included a barber chair and homage to their former "rivals".

How many "TV" sets are in that place?

That's actually quite odd.

That's actually quite odd.

I think so too. Like, you'd think someone along the way would say "wait... no."

[LongJim]

Apparently they are hand signs for Dallas and East Texas?

Yeah, ok...whatever.

Who cares. Let them have their unnecessary facilities. As long as ATM is in the sec they aren't winning championships. So the ROI here is 0 bc they are the epitome of mediocrity as they have been before, with, and after Manziel.

I saw an article by the DMN beat writer for A&M predicting a 9-3 season. Which is a one-game improvement over the 2014 team, which featured Manziel and a couple more first-round draft picks. OKAY. I'm not convinced Rice doesn't have as good a chance (or better) of beating A&M this year as we do at UT.

That said, if they keep up the recruiting, they're gonna be in for a good run of 9, 10, or 11-win seasons. Bank on it.

Not happening. ATM will never be a consistent 10 win team. My god, they had their best player of recent memory or maybe ever and pulled a 9-4 season. If their recruiting stays up where it is they will get better as a whole, but the spike in recruiting is bc of conference affiliation and JM. Conference affiliation will wear off and UT will eventually take back their title as Texas' CFB team and JM is gone forever.

If they had the defense UT had in 2005 and 2009, they'd have likely won a National Championship in 2012.

Now whether or not that's even a possibility with a Kevin Sumlin-coached team (and the offense they run) is another matter entirely.

Yeah, and you could make that comparison for about (fill in the blank) teams in CFB history. Only if...
