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.

      I agree. Injuries are bound to happen. They almost did tonight. They did last season. Utah State played without a starter tonight and last night due to food poisoning. You never know. We need more than 8 guys prepared to play effectively.

      Giving a few guys some rest and clearing the bench are two different things. We were up 17 against UNI with a couple minutes left in the first half and again early in the second half. Those are prime opportunities to sub in your 9th and 10th guys and give a couple of your main rotation guys a few minutes of rest. We actually had a double digit lead most of the second half against UNI. It was never really threatened. Edit to add it's kind of funny to suggest we were never in a position to clear the bench against UNI yet Utah State played 11 guys against us and 10 against St Bonaventure. Some get on for less than 10 minutes but I promise you a starter gets needed rest for those few minutes they get to sit. Maybe we should do as the top 30 team does?

      the UNI game was a 9 point game with 3:30 to play. 57-48. we shut them out from there to push it to 20, but at no point short of the last minute or so was it even possible to clear the bench. everybody needs stop over-analyzing tonight's loss. it was a toss up...they made a few more plays than we did. play the game ten times and it's 5/5 with a top 30 team that might sneak into the top 25 by Christmas.

      Hard to blame the refs when we forced 16 turnovers and took 15 more shots. Just couldn't hit our shots. Sometimes you're cold. I'm going to agree with @UNTLiferwho said we should have played bench guys against UNI considering it was a blowout. Have to give your starters rest when you can, especially on the first of a back-to-back.

      oh no...a downvote. articulate a half-decent opinion or go the eff away. I swear actually having a winning program has made this board worse.
