I was anxious to see Oklahoma State's new look offense for the first time and walked away unimpressed. Last night the Pokes were poorly coached, used God-awful time management late in the game, and did everything they could to allow the Aggies to leave Stillwater with a win. Fortunately for OSU, the Aggies couldn't capitalize on the gifts given to them and the poorly coached Pokes are 1-0 in Big 12 play.
If anyone is thirsty and broke, I suggest going to the local convenient store and buying some Aggie Kool-Aid off the clearance rack.
Everyone that had actually watched the Aggies more than one time last season (Thanksgiving) knew they were getting way too much preseason hype, but we didn't know how overrated they were. Last night the Aggies established themselves as a solid bottom-tier Big 12 south team in 2010.
Johnson also established himself as the most overrated player in Big 12 preseason history, yes in the entire history of the conference. It's nothing personal against Johnson and it isn't his fault, but the undeserved hype Johnson got this offseason was unwarranted, undeserved and poor professional representation of any paid member of the media who gave it to him.
There is no way any levelheaded person in Aggie Land still believes in the Sherman plan. The best-case scenario for the Sherman plan is proportional to what my college degree plan was: Six years long, drawn-out, inconsistent and even at the highest point not on the top-tier.
Translation: It took me six years and change to graduate, my academic performance was inconsistent, but even at my best I was never on the Dean's list.
Sherman will never get the Aggies where they want to be, his teams will be inconsistent and they will never compete at the top of the conference under him.
Copy these words, paste them save them, send them to me in a couple years, do whatever you want with them, but it just isn't going to happen.
A&M-OSU Quick Hitters
- Oklahoma's State's decision not to run the ball at the end of the game with approximately five minutes left and a seven point lead should've cost them the game. They were very lucky to escape this game with a win and did it despite awful late game time management.
- Watching last night's game made me miss my college days.
Not because of the college football atmosphere, but because of the way Jesse Palmer was constantly drooling over Jerrod Johnson despite his five-turnover performance.
Listening to Palmer drool over Johnson is like watching a buddy make out with a 300-pound girl in the corner of the bar after having too many brews on Thursday night.
