40 Acres Sports

I am starting this tradition as of now. The week before Thanksgiving will now be the official “Make Fun of Aggy Week.” I am going to start this off with some classics, and will add more pictures/video/audio/jokes later on in the week.

If you have any suggestions of your own, please let us know. For now, enjoy:

The amount of media bias towards USC can get sickening sometimes. And this time it isn’t even ESPN.

Some interesting and amusing stories coming from the Aggie message boards after their loss to Oklahoma this weekend. Sounds like Jorvorskie Lane is throwing his weight around (and it sure is a lot of weight) and isn’t happy with the job coach Dennis Franchione is doing. And it sounds like some of the team and most of the fan base agrees with him.

Here’s one of many posts that were quickly deleted by the fascist TexAgs moderators:

I do not know everything that has been discussed on the subject but this alleged situation could not be worse for this team.

For those who have not heard the story, after the game last night, Jorvorskie allegedly threw objects and berated Franchione for not giving him the ball on 3rd and goal from the 2.5 late in the game with the team trailing by 7. Following Lane’s emotional outburst, apparently, another team leader told Franchione that he had lost the respect of Jorvorskie and thus the entire team. Additionally, Lane now faces an impending suspension from Franchione.

Pretty good stuff. If there’s any truth to this than Lane has to be suspended for the next game. Franchione is close to losing that team if they drop the next two games against Nebraska and at Texas, which is very possible. Fran’s call late in the game not to give Lane the ball is pretty baffling, I love to make fun of the guy but he’s an incredible short yardage runner once he gets his weight moving forward. Maybe run the option or give the ball to Michael Goodson to the outside, but a Stephen McGee pass?? Bad call.

I think the unforgivable mistake though was to kick a field goal with only two and a half minutes to go in the game. The Sooners had run all over them during the game, what gave Fran the idea they could stop OU from getting the single first down that would end the game? He’s made a ton of strange coaching decisions this year and this one finally bit him in the ass.

Hopefully this gets much worse and more public, because it should be very entertaining to watch.

Tough blow for TAMU, he could’ve done a good job there (unlike Fran).

I swear, Aggy related videos can be some of the funniest things ever. This is yet another classic, making fun of the 12 men on the field penalty against the Aggy (ironic no?):

The song is called “Eleven Twelve”, and this version is a remix of the Sesame Street “Pinball Song.” Supposedly the vocals are from the Pointer Sisters, and the remix was done by Braces Tower.

OU does their best impression of the “Bush Push.” I guess they will never call that penalty.

Man, for the second straight week the Longhorns are on the verge of picking up a loss, but Colt McCoy just wouldn’t let it happen, in almost VY-esque style. Colt is starting to make the loss of Vince Young almost seem bearable. And can you imagine if Musburger was doing the game? He would have been all over Colt.

Tech did put up quite a fight, but when you can’t run the ball (-1 yards on the night), it just makes it that much harder to close out games. And honestly, if you can’t get an inch on 4th down, you just don’t deserve to win.

And there might really be something about this TBS curse. Just look at the last five games on TBS: Tech, down 21-0. Baylor, down 10-0. Okie Lite ’05, down 28-12 at half. Tech ’04, down 7-0. Okie Lite ’04, down 35-7 at one point. And how about this year’s Okie Lite game? Oh yeah, that is on TBS too. Let’s try to jump out to a lead for once.

Here are some other inital reactions after the game:

• Inches separate Texas Tech from upset
• Colt was absolutely Vince-esque
• Colt’s heart and poise
• Tech crying post #1
• Tech crying post #2
• Don’t forget about the Texas Tech Doll – Git Yer Guns Up

Part 2 discusses strengths and weaknesses, future expectations, and Mack Brown.

Part 1 discusses traveling to Lincoln and the development of Colt McCoy.

For the first time in the history of Wheaties, General Mills is going to feature a rivalry between two college football teams, the Lone Star Showdown with Texas vs. Texas A&M. The Texas Longhorns will be on one side (what should be the front) and the Texas A&M Aggies will be on the other side (the back). Each side will feature an old school looking helment as well as an image of each team’s stadium.

Is it just me or does it seem quite ironic to have “Breakfast of Champions” and Texas A&M in the same graphic? What exactly are they champions of?

You should be able to pick up your box of Wheaties today, so head to the stores get one.
