College Football News predicts a blowout. Texas Aggies 63, South Carolina State 7.
I heard a snip of an interview with the S.C. State head coach on the local AM radio sports talk station yesterday. He was saying his team's success would depend on keeping things close in the first half. This looks like the kind of game that will tell us about Sumlin: Is he the kind of guy who'll run up the score on a weakling ?
The Saturday TV games that look promising: Missouri at South Carolina, LSU at Auburn, and Michigan at Notre Dame.
Added 5:44 PM, Saturday 22 September: Just discovered a few hours ago that the Aggie game against S.C. State will be on TV tonight. I guess nearly every game with an SEC team playing makes it to TV these days. On CBS, Missouri is finishing the second game of their Welcome To The SEC tour. This week's ass-whipping administered by South Carolina, 31-10. It wasn't that close, since Mizzou scored their garbage-time TD with 17 seconds left. Two weeks ago, the Georgia Bulldogs took them out behind the barn, 41-20. Maybe Mizzou is destined to lose every conference game by 21 points this season. That would suit me... I don't like those bastards.
Added 7:56 PM, same day: Aggies 49 Bulldogs 7 at the half. Another sluggish start for much of the first quarter, then a mismatch once the offense starts rolling. Problem is, there's no way to gauge how good A&M is against these candy-ass opponents. Auburn is giving LSU all they can handle. The road gets rougher for the Aggies after tonight.
Added 11:52 PM, same day: Final score was 70-14, meaning College Football News called it exactly based on the 56 point winning margin. I stayed with it until the long punt return made it 56-7 in the third quarter. I was curious to see if Sumlin is the kind of guy who would run up the score. He isn't. In other games, Arkansas fell to Rutgers, and LSU squeezed out a 12-10 win against Auburn. I had picked the Arkansas game as a loss for the Aggies, but I'm not so sure now. It's a must-win game for A&M, since the value of Arkansas stock is in the shithouse. Who wants to be the team that Arkansas beats to end their losing streak?
