It's our last game to to be viewed by the bowl committees.

A solid win moves us up in the polls and positions us for a better bowl.

It's a big recruiting weekend. Lots of kids on campus.

Beating a Texas team helps with our Texas recruiting territory by knocking down a potential rival for players and with more Texas viewership.

It's a primetime game, but it sucks that it's on SECN. We would get better exposure on ESPN or one of the big networks.

The aggies are not as bad as their record indicates. If they break a couple of big ones, we may have a game.

They are tired of us owning them, and they will play with passion. Have to bust them in the chops early, pressure Starkel and get him shook up. Hope Key and Alexander are back. They want it....we gotta want it too. Worry about DE cause they have been bringing the blitz all year long.

We've played tie halves 2 weeks in a row to terrible teams, ones not near as good as aTm. We should be worried. We might not have a guy muff 2 punts for us and other such fortune. Final scores turned out fine more because the other teams' suckness caught up to them, but if we continue to start slower than Christmas it's not going to work out.

Miss St nearly lost to Arky and the Tenn game was in a monsoon. I suspect we play a little more inspired for this one.

I never want to kick other teams asses and make them cry but in the case of Texas A&M I will make an exception.

These weekly false hurdles by some are tiresome. How about we just win.

A&M is a decent team. This won’t be a cakewalk.

There were 40MPH swirling gusts at KO. Canada called an extremely conservative game.

Christian Kirk alone should be enough to worry us.

And we beat the #6 team in the country. What's your point?

LSU finishes #2 in the SEC West based on a tie record and head to head victory over Auburn. We then are 3rd in the SEC overall. Most likely a better Bowl game.
