Using the final 2011 Sagarin Predictor to predict the Lamar and Texas A&M games...
- Tech would be 49.75-point favorites against Lamar in Ruston.
- Tech would be 10.30-point underdogs against Texas A&M in Shreveport.
Reneau is essentially spotting TAMU a field goal (2.79-point home field advantage) by playing the game in Shreveport instead of Ruston.
I realize this is flawed, but...
- Sagarin was 12-1 in predicting our games in 2011
- It gives us some perspective on how dumb I think this move is.
How good is TAMU suppose to be next year? Are they rebuilding or returning a lot of players?
Technically Houston, but they don't start playing BE until 2013.Quote:

But what if we win...
They are A&M. Big, fast, and more talented than us. However, they are somewhat rebuilding and will have a new coaching staff. We are going to have a ton of seniors with a ton of experience and we can play with them.Quote:

I am SO ready for this game!!!!!!!!!!! Complain all you want, but we can win this one. I am not scared of playing anyone! What happened to ANYBODY ANYTIME ANYWHERE? Some of you have lost your swagger already....... If we can take TCU down to the line, we can beat TAMU next year.
BRING EM ON!!!!!!!!!!
It's not that we might lose. It's that we are supposed to lose. It's dumb to schedule multiple OOC games that you are supposed to lose. That's far from pathetic. It's called scheduling for success.Quote:

Never beat more than 1 in a season, and even those were rare.Quote:

Just looking at the BCS era, Tech is 5-34 against AQ schools (not including bowls).
Overall, Tech is 0-10 against TAMU...
I was totally on the "never play ole miss again" bandwagon prior to 2011...
Thank you. This also supports why we shouldn't schedule 3 AQ opponents in 1 season.Quote:
