Strange: The official bio of Texas A&M coach Billy Gillispie takes great pains to note that he's "the only coach in history to lead the [nation's] most improved team in consecutive seasons."

Yet, nowhere do we find that he's now the only coach in history to win the 'Bag's coveted Golden Soufflé award in consecutive seasons. That's right, folks: In an unprecedented feat, Texas A&M has won its second straight Soufflé, awarded annually to the Most Dubious Undefeated Team in mid-December. Well done, Aggies!

Once again, the Aggies are loading up on cupcakes (Southern, Mississippi Valley State, Savannah State) and don't play on the road until after New Year's, when cold reality hits with three straight road games (Pacific, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State). We'll give Gillispie some credit for an 8-8 Big 12 mark last year, but come on: Don't be crowing about having the nation's most improved record if you're playing opposition like this out of conference.

Against a top 5, I mean a top 10, oops a top 20 team in the horns vs. an Aggie team that plays a soft non-conference schedule and their 2 best players are out for now? :rolleyes: How many points are you going to give me since the horns are a superior team?

Honestly, that's the best you can come up with. Shit, I expected a novel of stats, scores, etc.... You're slippin' a little bit.

Why should I give you points? You come on here making fun of the Horns for losing when they're obviously a better team than the Ags. That's like me being a Cowboy fan and making fun of the Colts for losing. I figure if you're going to talk shit, then you obviously think your team is better. So, do we have a deal?

Why? Uh, you just said UT was obviously a better team and I know that. Why bring a knife to a gunfight? My point is UT should try a few more cupcakes, getting their ass handed to them is not gonna help their RPI any. And don't give me any shit "oh, they'll only get better from those ass kickings". Bullshit, they are already suppose to be good. Hey, they were ranked number 2 right? So, nope there's no bet!

Who gives a shit about RPI? As long as UT gets into the tourney, they'll prove how good they are. They have just as good a chance as a #2 seed as being a #7 seed. This isn't the BCS. Playing cupcakes only hurts you down the road. No I don't think getting your ass kicked helps you, but playing good teams does. Would you personally get better playing someone a little better than you, or playing a 5th grader?

So, you would say the other UT is a better team than the horns?
