I would look at Randy Rogers at the College of Southern Idaho. Just qualified for the 4th straight year to the NJCAA tournament. 500 plus wins. Aggie alum. Know how to recruit and coach. Rebuilds his roster every year with 5-7 freshman and still wins. I talked to him last year when he was down here...

Aaron Johnston at South Dakota State would be a great get but after 24 seasons there and tons of success, I’m not sure he’d leave considering he hasn’t left yet despite all his success. Molly Miller at Grand Canyon has done nothing but win. She’d be a great candidate. I think there are 3-4 Big Sky ...

The Football Life episode about the 1993 Houston Oilers is a must watch for football history buffs. Also interesting from an organizational leadership perspective, even if you don't care much about football. There has been nothing like that 1993 Oilers team ever before not since. Perhaps the 2012 Ch...

The thing that really distinguishes MW from our other previous HC is he understood the intense dislike Aggies have for BYU. His teams competed and won against them. GA 1.0 understood it too to a degree but Wells got it done. His press conference remarks prior to the now legendary 2014 game illustrat...

His downfall was the Ravens game early last year. He never quite got the coaches confidences back after that. He was a Covid lister at the start of training camp which put him behind. Had a bad penalty against SF in the preseason that did not help him. But he looked good against the Cardinals and Vi...

Rumors are that another AFC West team is interested in him. Likely the Raiders. We will see.

Patrick Mahomes started the last game of his rookie season against the Broncos. The regular starter, Alex Smith, sat out to prepare for the playoffs. So Patrick Mahomes was never officially the Chiefs starting QB but was officially the starter for that one game.

FYI, Darwin Thompson is inactive for the Super Bowl today. A bit of a surprise considering Le'Veon Bell fighting through a knee injury.

Disappointing.

astroman31

One last thing to add here. Darwin has had good opportunities with the Chiefs. The coaches have been high on him and he was #2 on the depth chart going into the season. But he has had some bad plays that have stood out. One notable example was in last year's playoffs, Darwin failed to check down on ...

Saw the last part of the Iowa State game, where TT was shut down for three quarters. Columbi came in the 4th and moved the offense well. He looked really good and threw some impressive passes. I wish we had been able to keep him but I wish him well.

astroman31

Darwin made some major mistakes in the Ravens game. Lost containment on a kickoff return and a disastrous fumble that nearly turned the game around for Baltimore. He hasn't had an offensive snap since. He has struggled in the passing game and in pass protection. I think he has lost the trust of the ...

Uh...you realize we won the game right? And it was against a solid opponent. It wasn't a lucky win either - and I happily and unabashedly accept lucky wins. As for frequency, it happened one time this season when we had a new signal caller in. You understand that also? Bitterness among Aggies after ...

Let's not get too carried away here on hypertheticals. The specific situation is nine seconds left, no timeouts and we are on approximately the 15 yard line. It is a close game, and we just made a heck of a FG. We do not have a Tarver like receiver. A sack or play in bounds ends the half. Keeping th...

astroman31

A sack would have ended the half. So would a pass completed in bounds. Don't take points off the board.

Great game. One I had dreamed for 30 years to enjoy such domination. It was a beat down in every sense, on the road also. Some of the Darwin Thompson runs were unreal. Yes, we caused lots of mistakes but the Zoobs gave us a few gifts too. They were outplayed, out coached and under prepared. Awesome ...

Gaje Ferguson and Roman Andrus are both listed as tryouts for the Chiefs rookie mini camp. https://mobile.twitter.com/ArrowheadPride/status/1124716030117449730?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1124716030117449730&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.arrowheadpride.com%2F Sent from my SM-G38...

An interview with Chiefs GM Brett Veach indicated they were targeting Darwin Thompson from the get go. In fact, they tried to move up in the sixth round, fearing another team was going to take him. https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2019/4/29/18522983/brett-veach-traded-up-once-on-day-two-and-attempted...

With the demise of Kareem Hunt and Tyreek Hill, the NFL as a whole are shying away from athletes with a history of domestic violence, at least on the outside. Williams should have been taken by the third round, but which team is willing to answer to his past? No team has been snake bit more on this ...

Just a thought here, but I wonder if Mussleman was just Trying to motivate his team for the rest of the season and the next time they play us.

This ^^^^^ Nothing else seems to make sense.

That player was Rick Volk, the all pro safety. He was first injured on the second play of the game when Matt Snell and him collided helmets - see 10:20 of the video. Here is what Wikipedia has: Volk was knocked unconscious during Super Bowl III when he collided helmet-to-helmet with Jets fullback Ma...

And the premise of this thread is that it is obvious that Coach Wells sucks in close games. If that is true, and it is not, then Coach Wells has done a masterful coaching job not getting in close games this season. So, in a sense, his is coaching within his strengths. And we won a close game today a...

But that TD pass to win the game was pretty sweet, huh?

Gee whiz. Are you saying that Wells should have predicted the muff, thus given instructions to let the punt fall?

Catching punts is what these guys are trained to do, even freshmen. You have to trust your player to do his job.

We've lost some of our best secondary players and I am wondering if the position is getting thin on manpower.

astroman31

You field that punt and trust your guy to catch it. You have to catch it otherwise it rolls your offense into a field position hole.

You field that punt. And we deserved to win.

CSU played well enough to win, but they didn't outplay us. There were enough reminders of why they only have three wins - the pick sixes and penalties in particular. We led most of the game, and when we went up 20-10, the feel of the game was if USU goes up by three scores, the game is over. CSU's b...

astroman31

Keep perspective here. We led all game and never trailed until just under the two minute mark of the 4th. CSU played very hard, props to them, especially after the first pick six. They played ball control all game. Love was off. Maybe the cold weather was bothering him. His passes were too high, too...

Jeff passed away in 2015 from ALS. I ran into Jeff at the end of an Aggie football game in 2013. He was walking out of the stadium with someone that apparently was his guide. Jeff didn't recognize me at all, even though we had been neighbors for many years. I was really taken back by it, as Jeff was...

Hawaii. That game is so legendary that many Aggies claim to have stayed up for the second half but in reality went to bed. I almost called it a night, but stayed tuned in - not because I thought the Ags would come back - but I wanted to find out if Chuckie was going to be okay. I was instead treated...

astroman31

Keep in mind that normal statistics won't tell the story of this game. The important stat from the game was obviously turnovers, one that MW focused on and identified as the key beforehand. But the other stats won't tell the feel of the game going into the 2nd half. EVERYONE, including pessimistic A...

The celebration on the field carrying off the wheel was awesome. Looked so great on TV. Great to celebrate an Aggie victory again.
