A&M fans are still so obsessed with their two Big12 big brothers. It's fantastic.

Most Aggies, myself included, were very excited to have Kyler Murray on campus. He was an undefeated 3 year starter at the highest level of high school football in the state, his dad was a legend playing for Sherill at A&M, he brought some good talent with him in his recruiting class and it ended up being a nice head to head win over the Longhorns on NSD.

Then he flashed some nice runs in the first game of the season against ASU and people got even more excited about him being next Manziel and why wouldn't any Aggie be excited about that?

Then the QB situation unraveled and Kyler started playing like an undersized, true freshman who had never played against guys this fast and who would run him down when he couldn't get through his reads fast enough.

He shite the bed against Alabama and threw a hissy fit on the sidelines the first time he faced any real adversity. He got the benefit of the doubt from Aggies, again myself included, because we were pretty desperate for a QB. Then he shite the bed even worse against Auburn and pretty much completely checked out when he lost his job. He was gone at that point already and basically quit.

The relationship between Kevin Murray and A&M is a pretty complicated one that isn't worth your time unless you're an Aggie but he and his son certainly poisoned some wells and burned some bridges on their way out. The signs were all there with the way they handled his recruitment down the stretch but they were given the benefit of the doubt because of who Kevin Murray was.

i think this is a fair assessment of murray and his situation. as an OU fan, i'm excited he wants to be a part of our program, but i'm treating his situation with the caution it deserves.
