College Football 2025: Eighth Game (LSU)

The Texas A&M Aggies are having one of their best seasons since joining the SEC West in 2012. The team has played a fairly respectable schedule, and is undefeated although without any blowout wins so far. The season continues tomorrow with a road game against LSU (5-2). The game is scheduled to start on ABC at 6:30 PM Central. Since A&M started playing LSU as a division rival in conference games, the Aggies have won only four, all at home on Kyle Field (2018, 2020, 2022 and 2024). LSU has won every SEC West game as the home team in Baton Rouge, and they are 2 1/2  point favorites tomorrow, despite two losses (Ole Miss 24-19 and Vanderbilt 31-24). College Football News has posted a predicted LSU win (26-23). My concern is that Texas A&M must play much better than they have in most of the games they've won so far to remain unbeaten. That means no penalties or turnovers giving LSU easy touchdowns.

Updated 10:50 PM Saturday 10/25: Kevin Sumlin wasn't the answer. Jimbo Fisher definitely wasn't the answer. Tonight, Texas A&M gave LSU a butt-kicking (49-25) at Baton Rouge, so maybe Mike Elko is the answer. The Aggies had some penalties, a blocked punt for a safety and a few other turnover problems, but for most of the game, they performed well.

College Football 2025: Seventh Game (Arkansas)

Texas A&M is riding high at 6-0 so far this season, and today they'll visit Arkansas (2-4), with the game starting at 2:30 Central on ESPN. The Aggies are 7.5 point favorites on the road. The Hogs have lost to Ole Miss, Memphis, Notre Dame and Tennessee, and won games against Alabama A&M and Arkansas State.

Texas A&M has played annual games against Arkansas as members of the late Southwest Conference, and as members of the SEC since 2012, and the Hogs have been a rough opponent with A&M's record against them a poor 36-42-3. 

College Football News thinks Arkansas could make more mistakes than the Aggies today, and predicts another loss to A&M (34-27). 

Update 6:17 PM Saturday: Texas A&M had a good lead in the second quarter that was wasted and lost due to sloppy defense. A 21-6 lead was cut down to 21-20 at half-time. Success has gone to the heads of Mike Elko's team apparently. I'm probably finished with this shit for tonight.

The ESPN game coverage was rotten due to a weather delay in starting the game at 2:30 PM. I didn't see the second half, but A&M somehow managed to achieve a close 45-42 win.

According to the TV talking heads in post-game discussions, Texas A&M hasn't produce a 7-0 record since back in the 20th century. Since their next game will be at LSU, loyal Aggie fans should probably not hang their dreams on an 8-0 record this season. 

College Football 2025 Sixth Game (Florida)

 The season is zipping right along and somehow, Texas A&M is unbeaten at 5-0 although the team has been pretty bad when it comes to penalties stalling out promising drives and poor execution on third-down plays. Tomorrow, the Aggies welcome Florida (2-3) to Kyle Field. Florida has lost to LSU, Miami and SFU, but did achieve a fairly impressive 29-21 win against the Texas U. Longhorns last week. 

Tomorrow's game will be on ESPN at 6:00 PM, with A&M favored by 7 1/2 points at home. If the Aggies can gain first downs on third down plays and eliminate those damned penalties, College Football News predicts A&M can win 26-17 and keep their success going a while longer.

Updated 11:05 PM Saturday 10/11: The Aggies played better tonight than they've played in any of the previous five games and won 34-17.

College Football 2025: Fifth Game (Mississippi State)

This has been a busy week, and I haven't given college football much thought as a result. This morning, I was reminded that Texas A&M (4-0) will play Mississippi State (4-1) at Kyle Field tonight. Kickoff will be at 6:30 PM on SEC Network.

MSU has been a handful for the Aggies (9-9) in several games, and this might be another one. The Bulldogs have a single quality win so far, against Arizona State, and A&M is favored by about 14 1/2 points. That looks generous to me since the Aggies struggled to beat Auburn last week. Marcel Reed has been winning as the starting QB but isn't producing many dazzling performances yet. Maybe tonight?

College Football News warns this game could be a trap for the Aggies but predicts the home team will win 34-20. I'll welcome that final score any time against anybody.

Updated 11:02 PM Saturday 10/04/25: The game got off to a sluggish start, with A&M being penalized repeatedly. The score was 14-3 in the third quarter when we decided we'd seen enough. We watched a few reruns of the TV western "Lawman" then decided to check the score of the game. By then the Aggies had improved their lead to 31-9 in the 4th quarter, and that was the final score in an important SEC win for A&M. 

College Football 2025: Fourth Game (Auburn)

After their open date last Saturday, Texas A&M gets back to business this afternoon, hosting Auburn (3-1) at Kyle Field. The game kicks off around 2:30 PM and will be televised on ESPN.

The Aggies are 3-0 after pulling out a last-minute win at Notre Dame, and Auburn is 3-1 after losing their fourth game 24-17 at Oklahoma. The Aggies are favored today by 6.5 points, but Auburn is almost always a tough opponent for them, which should be true again today. College Football News predicted the final score will be an A&M win (30-23), assuming Marcel Reed can shine in the passing game, and the Aggie defense can limit the Auburn running backs.

Update @ 6:24 PM Saturday:  Texas A&M was leading on the scoreboard most of the game, but the Aggies kept Auburn close with sloppy penalties that helped Auburn and hurt themselves. In the fourth quarter, Marcel Reed threw an interception that was returned over 70 yards and gave Auburn an easy two-yard TD run. For most of the 4th quarter, it seemed like A&M was going to blow a conference win with their mistakes. Things were satisfactory at the end with A&M clinging to a 16-10 lead and finishing with a 4-0 season record.

Just Filling the Vacant Space

 Daddy Fatty 4Q is getting tough on Real Daddy, Vladimir Putin, by setting shorter deadlines for Russia to lose the war with Ukraine.

Fatty 4Q must think pissing all over Putin is another smart move that will inspire awe among the MAGA monkeys. He's recommending the European NATO nations just shoot down any Russian aircraft entering their airspace.

Maybe Putin should dispatch a trusted team to gather around Fatty 4Q in his Oval Office and remind the TV reality show host who's really in charge of decision-making since 2016.

Karo Syrup Leavitt, the current blonde bimbo Fatty 4Q chose as press secretary is another brain-dead airhead claiming Americans LOVE Daddy Fatty because his hatred of America is so  authentic.

A Week With No Football Game?

Fatty 4-Q will never be anything more than the most embarrassing old man in USA. Read the reports about his prolonged diatribe at the United Nations, then accept the fact that he's not capable of behaving like an intelligent, mature adult. Fatty 4-Q is a fool who makes at least half of American voters seem like fools themselves.

We should be getting sick and tired of this waste of crap.

College Football 2025: Third Game (Notre Dame)

 The Texas A&M Aggies were able to coast past Texas U @ SA in their first game, then defeated Utah State at home in their second game. Things will start getting serious this week, with Texas A&M on the road at Notre Dame (0-1). The Irish lost their first game (27-24 against Miami) but are favored by seven points tonight at 6:30 PM on NBC. Notre Dame's overall record against A&M is 4-2, and they won the most recent game at Kyle Field in last year's opener.

College Football News expects the ND running game will be more than the Aggies can handle, resulting in a 31-17 loss on the road for TAMU. I'll probably watch as long as A&M is ahead or tied, and will probably stick around as long as ND is no more than six points ahead.

Update 10:56 PM Saturday 9/13/25: The Aggies were able to keep the score fairly close, but the fourth quarter, especially in the last few minutes, was insane. Notre Dame scored a late TD to go ahead, then missed the extra point attempt, leaving them ahead 40-34 with only a few minutes remaining in the game. The Aggies drove 74 yards to tie the score at 40-40 with seconds left on the clock, and the PAT conversion gave Elko his first big 2025 win at 41-40.
