Ed Orgeron at Mississippi: 10-25
Ed Orgeron as interim at USC/LSU: 11-4
Worth noting that he's 3-3 versus ranked teams in that 11-4 span, and 1-1 vs top 10 teams.
Fifth team in only three years. It's an exciting new SEC tradition!
So it's almost like they release the rankings before they should. Who woulda thunk?
I think after eight games isn't too bad, all things considered.
Pretty terrible season by the end. Not only can they still not beat LSU, but either Texas or LSU is going to get the coach they need. They are Arkansas
It just means more.
How many times has A&M won 8 games before sumlin? Seems like they are doing fine considering they are in the sec west
He's been their only coach during their SEC existence. But A&M isn't interested in being Arkansas. Their football budget is top 10 and they pay Sumlin top 5 money. Bad ROI. His best team is still his first year when he had Sherman's recruits who had been developed by Sherman's staff
Eh, I'm mostly ok with what Sumlin has done. Back in the Fran and Sherman years we were struggling to compete with Oklahoma State and Tech (no, I have not forgotten the time we tried a one man rush. It didn't work.) We had lost to Arkansas three straight.
I believe we are objectively ahead of where we would have been if we had stayed Big12 or gone with another coach. The thing that gets me (sorry Bulldog fans) is that we should not be losing to Mississippi State. Injuries to starting quarterbacks aside, we out-recruit, out-talent, and just about everything else except out-play them.
As a homer fan, I'm fine losing to Bama (just keep it close), want a 50/50 record against LSU, and just plain beat everyone else. For who to blame that this isn't the case, I don't know. The defense has actually improved (shocking!) while the offense is better now that Spavitol is gone. But where will they be next year without Knight, Garrett, etc.? Player development is the big issue. I say give Sumlin the next year, but make it clear that anything under nine regular season wins is unacceptable.
As an aside, anyone know how P.J. Fleck feels about the south? I feel like he's A&M's kind of crazy.

It's still early enough, that it shouldn't matter.
Wonder if A&M was one of those other instances as well.

I've never seen so many flags thrown on the same play before in my life.
Memphis player just ripped the helmet off of Greg Ward.

This season for Baylor played out almost exactly like I hoped it would for our game today, with a quick start then collapse as the mental toll of the scandal took its toll and injuries hit their thin depth chart, and we still may not be able to take advantage.
Our offensive inconsistency has been killing us. The defense is the defense, we all knew what that would look like in general, but the offense falling flat so often this season really hurts.

Did we almost see a Holy Roller play in the Wolfpack game?
Because damn
Because damn
No this was the first year they were ranked.
I think it was LSU last year and all 3 of those SEC teams from the first year.

Adam doesn't believe Gobias.. he thinks we're going to lose.
Make him a believer..
I'm assuming it's because Tom might have told them he's out the door?

LeBron... cleats?
Alabama wasn't in the 1st poll, were they. Auburn, ole miss and miss state?

I'm really shocked that Nike/LeBron hadn't made like a marketing deal yet where they put LeBron's crown on the unis like they did with Michigan and Jumpman..
That seems like a missed opportunity there..

I wonder what awful retread our garbage AD will get now?
Also you guys harp on the boosters, the boosters are the only reason shit ever actually gets done at Texas, the Athletic Department is a fucking MESS.
I know Fenves wants Charlie back no matter what, but he needs to accept that it's a lost cause.
