Default Is A&M too cocky?

in the paper today, it had quotes from lane saying that a win over tech was "guaranteed"... and him and a couple of aggies said something to the extent of "crabtree better bring his A game"... they seem to be a little cocky for a team thats favored to lose...

if they lose its going to make lane look like a dick, again... just like in the miami game when they put his quote up on the board saying "we have the best offense in the nation, no one can stop us" when the score was 31-0 miami...

it should turn out to be a very exciting game and hopefully we can keep the streak going of beating atm in lubbock since 1993

I would say that saying a win over tech is guaranteed is a very cocky statement...

I've been an Aggie for almost 20 years now (freshman year was fall of '88). Nothing is guaranteed with the Aggies. They can blow a game with the best of 'em. Look at almost all of our previous trips to the Cotton bowl.

nothing is guaranteed with any team... app state vs michigan? colorado vs ou?? i just think someone needs to deflate that big head lane has got on his shoulders as of late...

A&M should not be cocky considering they have not won in Lubbock since 1993. But A&M should beat Tech every year, they bring in more talent. Just goes to show how important coaching is, hopefully A&M lands a solid coach next year and uses all the talent it has properly.

Jorvorskie Lane actually lives in the same apartments as me. I've seen him around and he walks around like he's the baddest dude since Jesus Christ. As for the rest of the team, I can't tell ya. But I can say most mainstream college athletes think their better than everyone else. Not all, but most. Look at Vince Young, I watched a 60 minutes thing on him a few weeks ago after the a Titans game. It just blew my mind how cocky he is. He's a great player, but there is no reason to get that cocky, and that goes for anyone IMO.

A&M brings a lot of talent to the table, they just don't use it very wisely from what I'm seeing. I personally think A&M could win the Big 12 south every year, they just don't play like they want it.

No one on A&M's team has any reason at all to be cocky. Jorvorskie must have a short memory from their last visit to Lubbock. Damn, this is going to be so fun to watch!

i think this statement is funny. We are having an ~ok~ season... def not the best, but good. I think that its NOT a guarantee. But look it at this way, when ut is having kick *** years (often) they are the cocky-est mf's anywhere. But I dont see anybody starting threads about them being cocky...

Big difference. You CAN be cocky if you're winning and can back up your talk with your play. When you're down (UT and A&M) it's best to just keep quiet and play ball. Tech has absolutey abused A&M the last two games at Jones Stadium.

Jorvorskie won't be too cocky after the Tech game. I'm sure Fran was pissed for him saying that. Mike Leach and Tech already HATE the Ags enough and this will only make the run the score up even more. Dumb move of Lane's part. Tech will make him eat his words.

Hell Yeah...! There is nothing like being a home football game at Texas tech! Where else can you get called all sorts of colorful names, have stuff thrown at you, the student body displaying some pretty nasty drawings, and not feeling safe leaving the game afterwards?

Hell yeah, you can't beat a Tech game!! Stay classy Tech!
