Thanksgiving Football Feast

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone out there. Of course, Thanksgiving means a great day of football. I am thankful for the aTm-t.u. football game being moved to Thaksgiving night. I am not thankful that it may end up t.u. 80-aTm 20. Ugh. At least the Cowboys should be able to pull this one out. Official prediction Cowboys 31, Seahawks 17.

Ok kids, Happy Thanksgiving football!!!

Press The Reset Button

Remember those times you very playing a video game and the computer was beating you?  You would get real mad, say it isn't fair and then press the reset button.  It was the easiest thing to do.  You would start over, maybe even a couple of more times, then eventually end up winning the game.

After the a Baylor 41-21 victory over the Ags Saturday, I am officially calling for Bill Byrne to press the reset button. I have fallen off whatever Mike Sherman band wagon I might have been on this past Saturday.  He is just not going to be the coach that this school needs.

I can handle the loss to OU.  Though embarrassing, aTm just did not have the horses to compete.   Baylor is a different story.  Sherman has some talent on this team.  Certainly enough to complete with the likes of Baylor. The fact that that team Saturday took the field and systematically got destroyed by that school is unacceptable. That is a direct indictment of poor coaching.  It was not absurd to think that Baylor could have won the game, that is not the point.  The point is the fact that Baylor was winning the game 41-7 until two cheapo touchdowns were scored in the fourth.  The game was over in the first 4 minutes of the third quarter.  

Mike Sherman brought in an NFL pedigree that he and Bill Byrne were very quick to mention at every turn.  That pedigree has now gotten us a loss to the equivalent of a high school team and a loss to a school that really has no business being in the Big 12.

Good coaches coach players up.  Mike Sherman has not been able to do that. An offense that is inconsistent at best and a defense that most high school JV teams could score 14 on every game.  THAT IS A JOKE!!

It's not too late though.  Pull the trigger while the ashes are still smoldering.  Don't wait to build another average house only to set it on fire again.  Texas A&M has already had their John Mackovic, we don't need to replace him with another Bill Callahan.  

 

Probably the last aTm football post this year.  I have just had enough. Hopefully the Cowboys have pressed the rest button for the last time this season and will get everything on track.  Tough fourth quarter that they played and an awesome catch for "Mr. Money B" Martellus Bennett.  More to come.  Hopefully they won't go out and mess up all the good things they did Sunday night. 

NOW GO TO BED!!  or GET BACK TO WORK!!!!!

Leaders Make The Difference

When choosing a new leader, you really don't ever know what you are really going to get.  Tuesday, the majority of the nation selected a new leader of the free world.  The funny thing with leaders are that while you think you know what you are going to get you may not really know. No, I am not talking about what you will get with Obama as President but what may happen when you hire the wrong coach.

Whom is this coach that you speak of?  The coach that, at half time of what was turning into a blow out, couldn't decide if he wanted to pull the 40 year old bag of dust he had throwing interceptions under center.  The same coach that dubbed himself "Mr. Fix-It" for a defense that still cannot cover receivers of get true pressure on the quarterback.  That coach is Wade Philips. 

Big Wade is just a few losses away from being the worst coach in Cowboys history.  Dave Campo was bad, but he was bad because he had no talent on the field, not because he could not motivate a team with insane amounts of talent.  I am officially jumping on the fire Wade bandwagon!!! 

Wade has no control of this team.  He has yet to demonstrate that he can fire up the troops when the going gets tough.  It makes you wonder what pictures he had of Jerry that he threatened to use if he didn’t get hired.  Really though, this is as much Jerry's fault as anyone.  Parcells left outside the fray and Jerry had to get back in the mix. What better of a person to have coaching your team than a good ‘ole country boy like Wade. We should have known better though, each place that Wade has coached has been a carbon copy of what we have seen here in Dallas. Great first year, mediocre second year, bad third year, fired. Though this year, that three year steak will be broken when he is fired at the end of the year. See what happens when you choose the wrong leader?

By the way, give T.O. credit. If I were him, I would have shot up the place by now!!

Fearless weekend predictions:

aTm 28, OU 789.235—The Ags two game winning streak comes to a close. I am so glad though that they actually did not adhere to my not winning another game prediction.

tech rejects 48 Okie Lite 49—those morons are too spent mentally to put it together. tech will still continue to never really win at anything.

LSU 28 Bama 27

Coming soon, dedicated posts to why the Mavs are beyond mediocre.

 

Here is appropriate song to characterize the Cowboy's season so far:
