A&M- LSU



It is a big day in College Station.

If anyone tells you they knew the Aggies would be 5-1, 2-1 in SEC play, with their only loss coming to what is now the #2 team in the country, they are lying.  To your face.  The Aggies' offseason was one of change and rebuilding.  They fired a coach.  They hired a coach.  They had to find a replacement for a 1st round NFL quarterback.  Gave the job to an 18 year old kid named Johnny.  Oh, and they moved to the toughest football conference God ever made.

Excitement was high, but expectations were low.

But this season has been a pleasant surprise thus far.  A 5-1 start.  Good conference wins.  The emergence of Johnny Football.    

But now the Tigers come to town, and the cajuns can play.  They are the highest ranked one-loss team in the country, and they play big boy SEC defense.  It will be interesting to see how Johnny Football handles a defense as speedy as LSU's.

Are the Aggies really as good as they seem, or have victories over inferior and deflated teams created a false confidence.  We shall see.

All I know is that it is great to see the purple and gold come to Aggieland.

I could get used to this whole SEC thing.
