A Texas fan tells me A&M is afraid to play Longhorns. Right. A&M leaves Big 12 to play Alabama, Auburn and LSU every year, but afraid of Texas? That's like agreeing to fight Tyson, Holmes and Ali, but being afraid of Danger from Million Dollar Baby.
Oh more facts for my Longhorn friend (He may unfriend me for this). Only 3 Texas opponents have a winning record. Six aren't bowl eligible. But 5 A&M foes have at least 9 wins. Nine are bowl eligible. End of discussion.
I'm listening to the radio on my way back from Baton Rouge. Analysts are pointing out LSU was without injured starting LB White Weeks and LT Tyree Adams. Funny, but they never mentioned A&M was without injured starting RB Le'Veon Moss and S Bryce Anderson.
Schlossnagle to Texas players: "Don't listen to what I say. Judge me by my actions. Many people on the A&M side will say this wasn't done the right way. I don't know how it could have been done any other way."
Ashton Bethel-Roman on when he felt A&M would win: "Probably when E.J. (Smith) went for it on fourth down and he got hit in the backfield and kept running. I thought, yeah, we're good."
