Aggie AG

BenHOGan/OzChuffNugg,
I made no excuses for the loss, but I put the loss more on our sloppy play than anything else. A loss is a loss no matter how it comes, but most of our earlier season problems have become some of our later season strengths.

I haven't followed Arkansas, so I can't really testify to how they have grown over the season, but my statement was that I would take our team now vs Arkansas then and make my bet the Ag's win. I have no clue how Arkansas has changed or grown over the season, and my first post was not an attempt at revisionist history. I wasn't trying to play the game of ifs, just the major reasons we lost that game.

In regards to 'tell it to the arky fans', my comment was in response to an LSU poster posing the question/situation of how we played against Arkansas, so obviously at least one person with LSU in their username 'gives a shite' who wasn't you, so you could not give a shite all you want, but my response wasn't to you in the first place.

Expansion is what ultimately ended the series, no?

That argument has been made many times, but the logic doesn't seem to hold water. I think Deke's assertion that you guys were running through some bad seasons and really didn't need the extra challenge of the series and its associated losses to further worsen your record at the time when you were trying to build up.

Regardless of what ended it though, it seems to be more the way it ended that left the bad blood.

There is a great amount of tradition in the rivalry though, and it would be nice to fan some of the old flames at the cotton bowl.

IlikeyouBetty, not sure where you read anything about playing time of Von Miller. There was nothing said about play time. The 30-40% was how often he rushes the QB vs dropping to coverage or delayed blitz.
