all right everybody this is how we do it welcome to first show of 2024 meltdown EGS Texas ay meltdown show is live uh we have our first surrender cobras of the Season we're watching Colorado North Dakota State Colorado just came out to start the second half drove right down the field and then uh Sanders threw an interception in the end zone oh my goodness it went off North Dakota state players legs and it's picked off so how about that we'll see if that gets uh upheld and uh you know it stands right now we're just goofing off we're trying to make sure that the live stream is working that the audio is working and uh right now we're not seeing much anything okay it looks like we're good it looks like we're going behind let's see what's happening yeah I think it missed the first okay we're about a minute that's it all right we're good all right we got our first comment Mr Sterling says it's working it's working boys all right good so will William Bill Mr Bill how's the audio because we're trying to make sure that our mics are working well that you can hear us both so Casey go ahead and speak that's me all right maybe a little bit more than that uh no I I think that was fine in fact we're told it's perfect all right well that's what we'll do uh uh so yeah speaking of I it's it's uh no small coincidence that William Sterling is commenting on the video because yes uh he also called us out a little bit on Twitter uh a couple weeks ago sort of so I I do want to just say and we've posted this a couple of times on Twitter we've been very silent on Twitter for the offseason there's a lot that goes into that Brian and I have another YouTube channel this year that YouTube channel reached a point where we could monetize it um in 2024 it has made us literally dozens of dollars and therefore this channel that makes us no money has taken a bit of a back seat we have very busy lives any chance we have to do something like this we end up filming something else for the other channel so we might link that later on or something you want to check that so you could help us make two dozen dollar$ two dozen doll that would be amazing um now listen I you know I fully appreciate Casey's saying that but there's also another reason that we haven't spent a whole lot of time on this channel and I want to be more specific talking about Aggie Sports publicly last year just about damn near broke us for a lot of reasons yeah and you know look it was a rough year in 2023 for a variety like I said a variety of reasons uh if you watch this show you know things took a really dark turn as the season went on and you know what we knew it was going to we actually talked about that extensively on the show uh in one game in particular the Auburn game right when Connor went down with his injury we were very vocal and we said guys it's about to get really ugly and you're not ready for and as it turns out we were correct and you weren't ready for it yeah and things really did spiral uh downward resulting in a lot of change all right now and things happened that reverberated right through the winter the spring the summer right because of everything that happened last fall and uh make no mistake we were watching ging sports for sure we were really dialed into basketball y basketball was a lot of fun baseball even more fun even more fun we were there every step of the way to a point right right right right up until it it wasn't it fun anymore for about two weeks um but if I'm being really honest okay yes we were bus to be honest yes we were busy yeah um the aie faithful made it not so fun fun to be honest that is true this has been well it's interesting because coaching changes usually result in a very hopeful offseason yes um and there's been some of that but overall I our enthusiasm for sure is over the summer offseason dropped there and there's a lot going enthusiasm to follow to follow yeah yeah a lot of that's like you said the aie faithful the the the the the boards are still just as soon as you walk in there you want to get right out yes like and it and it it it's it's not overly positive or o overly negative it's just bad it's it just makes you not want to talk about football now I I will say there's probably an element of this that is just look every single year I plug in less and less to you have less time yeah well there's there's a time element yeah for sure my kids are getting older um in fact I don't know how this season's going to go for US soccer season is about to kick up I'm not going to get to watch the Notre Dame game live I'm going to be at a hotel all weekend we shall see but there's also an element of the more Aggie football seasons you watch the more you've seen it all before and the less unless you want to relive it right and it's not did it go good or go bad it's just that every single thing that's posted or said has been said before it's uninteresting yes it it doesn't make any sense and it like we're gonna watch it play out and just realize it doesn't make S like I don't need to read it because I've read it before that's absolutely true I I know what you're going to post before you post it yes and I just I don't want to do it anymore right and so we weren't engaged in a lot of that dialogue and now that doesn't mean that we weren't listen we're we're on Twitter we're posting and reposting interesting things about the program we've got shot tweets helmet this weekend tomorrow Saturday Saturday that's really exciting maroon endzones maroon endzones things that I mean I mean this is all Mike Elco right this is all the Mike Elco effects maybe so Mike did all of these things probably I don't know you know maybe it's a new ad maybe it's an entire new regime in the athletic department but that's a good example of what we're talking about is that people say really dumb things and they're G to like like we've been through several coaching changes everything that's being said leading up to this season we've heard it before all of it multiple times we've we've watched everything is different everything's yeah but no that press conference was different yeah we've watched every single coaching we've watched narratives about the previous staff change on a dime absolutely things that you've been told are positive about the coaching staff for several years all of a sudden a week later those exact same things are a negative right right they you know so uh and the new regime is killing it at those things so like talking to high school football coaches talking engaging with the Texas High School coaches association oh my God the biggest offse lie that I probably heard all right was all around that drama that supposed drama and uh you know that's probably worth an episode in of itself someday but anyway enough of that give you a little bit of perspective of why we we really try to turn down the noise still pay attention um we made it through a great basketball season and a great baseball season that as soon as it started to turn sideways at any point in that season like all that negativity just back yeah and and that just and it sort of reaffirmed you know our approach so we just tried to survive the off season right and just say you know what when football is here show me the baby right and so here we are here we are we have not Dame at home to open the season and that's huge it is really huge it's at night there's going to be I don't know like a thousand recruits in the stands like a thousand yeah somewhere give or take and college game day is here game day it's the game of the week and for good reason they just through the the SL weekends the weekends games up here at some point I was like yeah yeah all eyes are going to be on in CLE field this weekend because this is the game this is the storyline that everyone's interested in um you have you're going to be packed full of recruits and you need to win this one I don't I don't know if do we want to get into that right now or I you mean how important it is to win the game yeah well let's we might as well because what else I mean honestly going into week one there's really only one thing to talk about in the game itself I that's probably selling it too short uh well you know what no let's let's talk about the offseason for a second okay um we've been accused of saying some things about Mike Elco that's not really true I don't think okay or mis what we said um you know when we made the hire we said we think A&M just lowered their ceiling that really comes down to one thing recruiting I I don't you know we shall see but Elco hasn't shown us anything in his career to suggest that he's going to be an elite like Relentless recruiter in fact we were told by to cover the program when Elco was here previously that he really wasn't that kind of Relentless recruiter that that wasn't really his job it's not really what coordinators do it's not to be fa all right but all of a sudden again that Nar flipped when he became our coach it did okay the exact same people telling us it wasn't a huge priority or now telling us yeah but all about it uh and we've you know there were comments on Twitter that oh yeah these guys have gone quiet because Elco assembled this great roster I think it's a little bit nutty to give Elco credit for assembling this roster all right but the majority of the roster the majority of the roster where we do have to give credit yeah um we do have to give credit for the approach in the portal because I think did a very good job restocking Talent on team in the right places with experience yes and you're going to see that play out I believe this weekend there's a lot of upper classman on this roster now are they good I I don't know I mean there's a lot of guys that were highly touted portal players y but there's a reason they're in the portal right so yeah I do think the roster is more experienced one way or another I don't know if the portal is bringing a ton of SC Championship talent to this roster overall additionally well but I guess the reason I I bring this up is because I think Elco did a a great job one holding together the current roster which so now you're talking about the if you're talking about SEC Championship level Talent the core of this team is still a whole bunch of that 2022 class the greatest recruiting class of all time right at the time some guys we've lost but the core of that team the core of that class is very much still here so the approach in the portal this year next year whenever needs to be where can I fill in experience in positions of need I think he did a good job with that yes I think the hiring of of Moffett was massive and and in truth I think we're GNA look back over the Jimbo tenure and say that the loss of schmidi hurt way more than anybody wants to talk about or give credit for right I think our strength and conditioning took a big step back we didn't seem as physical since then and I think that really hurt Jimbo a guy like Moffett I'm really excited about a guy nobody missed a LT nobody missed the lift yeah sorry I'm not okay again I still got a little bit of cynicism in my heart going into Saturday yeah for sure for a lot of reasons and that's okay show me the baby but yeah I maybe just in short I think Elco killed his first couple of months here absolutely killed I think he did I think he did really yes holding the the 24 recruiting class together the incoming freshman as best he could great portal editions mostly great hires I think I call a guy like Colin Klein I I'm not that excited only because there's very few hires that would have got me like super excited and that's that's a gap in my college we will come back to that yeah we'll come back to that but there's we'll come back because there are some things that really encourage me about Callin Klein and but uh overall I think as good as he possibly could have done in the first couple of months um to get himself to a point where he's got a great roster and and to to put a button on the off season I'm getting asked a lot you know what do you think this season what's your prediction whatever and it for me I always answer with the same question right back I'm I'm wondering if you can guess what it is I don't know where you're going okay with that question um by throwing it back at me I I'll tell you how I I'm just gonna tell you how I answer it all right that's kind of what you're I guess that's what you're asking but I was trying to read a little bit there and I didn't do a very good job it's horrible television no it's great TV um my expectation this season is exactly the same as if Jimbo would have been here oh okay 100% yeah I'm with you on that's not where I was going but that's that's part two yes I feel exactly the way about the season right now as I would if at Jimbo was still here because my first question when people say you know if you're asking me to predict wins how many games does Conor wman play that's it that's it that's all that's the whole well hang on time out time out time out I I we should probably amend that a little bit because I do feel like the quarterback room going into this season there is more talent and upside in that room Beyond Connor than there was last season there that's true I there were nice flashes from Reed in the ow game and I think we'll come back to Colin Klein but like I think Colin Klein can good with a guy like yeah and uh who's third string going into the season that rich the the why can I not remember that kid's name that they traded off he played really well down the stretch richson is it no all right I'm sure somebody Mississppi state right uh correct yeah beat the tar him yeah and started to play better every week at the end of that season right still was playing really well stacking good games on top of good games or or better performances the way I should say it and and I do feel like I if something happened there's some guys there you have multiple options that I feel like might be able to come in and do something under an offense that right like you said calling fine runs and can beat you know safe world right yeah it's now you know do I think we need Connor to beat Notre Dame LSU Texas who I don't the bigger games on the schedule yeah but it's not going to go in tank if Conor goes down completely for a couple of games but yeah so here's the comment all right Mr Sterling right you can't feel the same when the offense won't be stuck in the mud and Jimbo is complete self-sabotage now here's where I think people this is why we said what we said when Connor wigman went down wigman wigman wman I'm sure the Heisman committee will tell us later on in the year how to say it correctly um I Heard Jordan Rogers this week talking about how great Connor is and how his his upside he he's just gushing over this kid and he started it out by saying people forget what was happening last year to start the year this not us we we didn't forget three games into the season almost 1,000 yards completing over 70% of his passes the kid was moving the football in this insanely old-fashioned out ofd supposed out ofd offense that people in the NFL still run I don't know right like it was moving the football now there was a lot of sabotage happening in that offense particularly in in the Miami opener but people forget what those sabotage points actually were so just go back and watch and go watch the drives and see for yourself why that offense ground itself to a halt in the first half when it could have taken control of that game at multiple points it wasn't because they couldn't move the football it wasn't because they weren't churning up yards all right it's because they turned around and gave it away at extremely inopportune times but anyway go back and look at it that's actually one of my concerns in some ways going into the season is that I I have no doubt in my mind that Connor can run this offense I I think in the spring he looked extremely comfortable making decisions he was still hobbled from an injury standpoint um that kid could run one of the most complicated offenses in college football two months after stepping foot on campus he could run it better than the guys ahead of him on the depth chart it was clear in that first spring game the kid is a football savant I have no doubt that he can run whatever offense we have I actually wonder and I guess we'll find out is it too simple is it not Advanced enough to take full advantage of what's going on on the field and take advantage of the fact that you got a guy running it that can do whatever the hell you ask him to do we'll see we will see I maybe that's not valid maybe it's you know but that's how I feel about it but like I said I want to see it in action uh the one the other thing is that Connor does not have the kind of arm to throw the football 70 yards down the field on a regular basis and that is a big part of what Colin Klein has tried to uh with his previous quarterbacks he likes to really stretch the field and I you know we'll see uh Connor anticipates really well yeah so he's not going to wait to throw that deep ball um and that's how he you know he makes up for the the fact that you know maybe he doesn't have the arm strength of some other guys um you know but that'll certainly be that'll certainly be interesting but oh play calling and detail orienter position coaching or what I'm praying makes a huge difference I don't know about play calling but I do hope that you know I I I do think I do think the change is always good from an accountability standpoint right at least in the short term yeah and in particular if you're successful or not so you know by all accounts it does sound like accountability is behind the scenes it sure as hell was when Jimbo first stepped on campus or first year year and a half two years considering you know the PRI regime was well known for not being all that interested in holding people accountable and then it's you know whatever reason right yeah so yeah I don't know where are you going I'm not going anywhere I'm just GNA go walk over here while you talk a little more so the other piece of that Elco criticism around recruiting um you know I've seen it suggested that elco's killing it and recruiting and all these fears were unfounded man I'm here to tell you Elco is not killing it and recruiting he has not done anything not yet not yet not yet and look it was going to be really hard for anybody to be killing it and recruiting in this cycle in this offseason we'll get more on that later yeah uh but he is not done anything to quell those fears on my end at least now he he's coming off you know it's not a good environment for aan to recruit right now got those guys in Austin are coming off a play play off appearance playoff appearance oh you just picked up some massive recruits because they're also coming into our league just like Texas is coming into our league yeah there's momentum off of that sure so whatever but so for a minute I want to go back to the 2022 class because it's I think going to help people put the 2025 class into context and it's going to help you contextualize this season and and watch for some of these things we're about to talk about as the season plays out okay we said many times before Jimbo was fired whatever stop talking about nil like it's some Magic Bullet and that recruiting will always be fine because we've got nil it doesn't matter it's not everyone we're competing against has nil they've got a lot of money some of them like Texas are the best there's ever been paying their players okay you're not going to be better than them at it they invented it okay you can't all right now you still have to have a guy that can close the deal and get guys to sign it's always going to be that way no matter what so we get really annoyed when we see Aggies buying into that narrative around the 2022 class and I see a lot of agies repeating this nonsense that Jimbo signed a number one class a historic class off of an 8 and4 season whatever right that's garbage that's not how recruiting Works he didn't recruit that off an eight and4 season he recruited it off a 9 And1 season a top five finish and getting jobed out of a playoff spot okay you can't flip momentum on guys who are playing their senior year of high school football you can't do that okay you make hay with guys playing their junior year of high school football when you're having a good season okay and the 2022 class was playing their junior season when we were making a great run going nine and one finishing that top five okay Texas was not doing well I tell people A&M's top three class at least in 2022 was sealed the moment Steve sarkeesian was hired in Texas okay because the 2022 class and this is extremely important because we're about to see it play out again the 2022 class in Texas was historic an outrageously high percentage of the national top 100 guys were from Texas that year and so whoever had the momentum in this state was going to get the bulk of those kids and was guaranteed to have like a top three class that's what happened to A&M okay Jimbo was whipping Tom Herman's butt on the recruiting Trail they were panicking they tried they sabotaged their own coach and tried to hire Urban Meyer and it fell flat because that they were panicking they knew the only way they could get that momentum back with the 2022 class was to hire somebody like Urban Meyer and it failed and hired Steve sarkeesian instead and that was the moment A&M was going to finish in the top three that's it everybody knew it back then only the casuals turned around the fall and said oh my God how did A&M do this okay now yeah they had a bad year sort of okay remember what happened you finished in the top five you've got a ton of hype coming in the next season you play Alabama Early in the Slate your starting quarterback goes down against Colorado you lose a couple of bad games with your backup it's not good but what happened you beat Alabama at home with all those kids that you gained all that momentum with the year before sitting in the stands at night kyfields rocking huge momentum how in the world the Jimbo was Zach kada andm then goes on a run for the season gets back into the top 15 has another great top 15 win at home against Auburn okay at that point in the season you're not flipping High School seniors it doesn't happen those guys they had to sign in a few weeks they made their decision it's done okay then A&M goes 8 and4 loses two games down the stretch but by then you're not changing the momentum significantly and I'm I'm sorry for ranting but it's important because I'm letting him cook because the 2025 class again in Texas is historic it's I don't think is as good as a 2020 but again really really good it's really deep lot of national top 100 guys in this class and you're not getting very many of because the exact opposite scenario is playing out now Steve sarkeesian and Austin he had the playoff run you finished seven whatever I don't even care what we did last year they have all the momentum and and Mike Elco is not going to flip that momentum with these guys who are going into their senior year late in the season your only real chance to do that is to have early Big Time momentum in Buzz yep and for Texas to fall flat on their face early now you can still win this game or sorry lose this game you can then go 11 and one okay you can go on a run you can get but there's not enough Big Time games on the schedule early to recover the momentum from losing this game I don't care what we do after this game we're not flipping the moment there's there's not opportunities to now what you could do keep going I don't want to interrupt this fan I really don't not with this senior class with the 2026 class absolutely you go 11 and one after losing to Notre Dame Texas falls on their face or even as just kind of uh eight playf get even if they get in the playoff get whatever we get in the playoff we're GNA clean up 2026 class yes maybe if Elco plays his cards right okay it's not happening this year and so I just say all that to say that this game's really big I'm not saying all's lost if you if you but I'm sure everyone's freaking out right now because they're saying what are you talking about and I'm sitting at number seven in the composite rankings for 2025 I don't care you know why because that puts a sixth in the SEC and for everything I just because of everything I just said I'm telling you right now and because we've been through so many offseasons and watch recruiting classes play out as the season goes on this recruiting class when we look at it has all the makings of a class that tumbles down into the 10 to 15 range that's what it which is going to put you in the bottom third of your own leag your own confence so I would say you don't lose this game or if you don't win this game you're not staying in the top 10 you're just not um really no matter what happens for the rest of the season so you you win this you're going to stay about where you are maybe you flip some guys if Texas looks really bad over the next few weeks um and and that's great if you can do that but I'm I'm here to tell you no A&M is not killing it in the rankings or in in recruiting but that's okay kind of well this is the kind of recruiting cycle right now that if this was going on under any other regime in year two or three people would be losing their minds they would be but right now it's it's it's all rosecolor glasses and people are are sort of missing the bigger picture yeah and and look I he has every opportunity right out of the gate to change that narrative with a big win like you said to create something early in the state of Texas with over aund incredible recruits who are here where else are they going to go this weekend right right like it's not you have to keep that in perspective this is the place to be it's a holiday weekend their football seasons haven't really ramped up yet here we go right this is the college station is where they're going to be take advantage of that and um let's talk a little bit because we've been going off for a little while yeah uh now I will say this so thanks Brendan Terry Bucy yeah we did get Terry Bucy in the last recruiting cycle I remember when we got Martell's minute that was such a huge coup to give Martell's benett right five star tight end it does happen you need about six or seven of those guys in a recruiting class right you you go steal one no no no no no no this is the SEC we're in the we're number seven that puts us six yeah you have to be elite or you got to adjust your expect ations and well yeah I do you want to go into what our expectations actually are because let's do we I think we we might sound negative whatever like I said I do think Elco did a great job holding this roster together I think this is a great roster and I have high expectations for it if if Conor Wegman is healthy all season this team should go to the playoffs it should I I see so many people on Tex EGS they're like boy eight I'm just so burned eight I think maybe eight wins is about what will be and that should be good for Al no it's dude no it's not like if this guy can't come in with this roster and this quarterback and win 10 games what do we even doing here let's make a point about that because he didn't just walk into a great roster all right he walked into a situation he's very familiar with this wasn't a guy walking in somewhere and has to clean house and bring his own complete culture and build it from the ground up no these guy a lot of these guys stuck around because they knew him right like this is not this is Mike Elco two years removed yeah right like that building those people uh people love Mike ELO right so it's not ground up this is this is as good as it possibly gets from a coaching transition standpoint you your so your expectations really shouldn't change if Jimbo was the problem then by God your expectations should maybe even go up a little bit and I and and I really am kind of sick of seeing people start to oh oh no this is year one uh you know gotta get your guys no no no no no no this is this is playoff team in a box okay you somebody handed it to you carry it across the Finish Line our con concern is more longterm right it it's actually more long term and that was the point we made way back when all right yeah because I think the the team I keep thinking and you before I say this you touched on something just now that is really important uh when I talk about that 2022 class the roots of being laid down in 2020 in that season my elco's still here for that he recruited a lot of these guys who are now on Junior and then we have seniors that for sure knew M Pelco so yeah he's coming into a good situation the team I keep thinking about um in terms of what the ceiling is for A&M this year is that TCU team that went to the playoffs that's a that's actually a really really good it's a really good comp I think it's an experience you know coach coming in making nice pieces in the portal that happened from a chemistry standpoint to work we don't know if it's going to work they were all older guys it was the most experienced Senior Team yeah in the country that year except that TCU team didn't have nearly the power in the trenches that this team has the core of highly rated players that are now Juniors who've been through off Seasons you know the strength of that team was those experienced portal SE in seniors and stuff it doesn't have to be that way for us and we've got a better quarterback like so the ceiling for this team I think is absolutely a title like it would take you know too many brenon too many freshman snaps last year but you know you look at the offensive one this year it's overwhelmingly upper classman right I think there's one sophomore that's in maybe even in the two deep I think I think that's not fair I think there may be one sophomore in the starting lineup everybody else is Juniors and seniors M the defensive line is certainly you know full of upper classmen uh it strength and experience yeah all over the place everywhere lifting yeah been lifting didn't miss yeah I can't believe we weren't lifing weights before and relatively clean through fall ball yeah right so they're you know they're in a really good spot going into Saturday uh on the flip side guess we can talk a little bit about this and and look I'm not I'm not an expert in Notre Dame but there's two things going on with Notre Dame that also that actually makes me feel really confident going into Saturday and I think is why and in his favored and Notre Dame's offensive line is a bunch of fish and sophomores true freshman um they're going game one to Kyle Field against that defensive line against a bunch of dudes dud dudes yeah uh grown men that is Advantage A&M big time uh make no mistake about it number two quarterback at Notre Dame is Riley Leonard who was Riley Leonard's head football coach last year Mike Elco right so Mike Elco defensive probably looks across and goes I've seen that guy play a lot of football I know how to handle him and I think that's Advantage A&M so you know because there are these are two supposedly really powerful defenses right everybody seems to own up to that but I think Advantage o&m from a schematic standpoint and a coaching standpoint just because of the familiarity um back with the quarterback who's going to be on the other side I do think that's important and I'll throw one more in there that I stole from some Texa poster today um so I don't know if this is true or not but uh supposedly young linebackers too for Notre Day so a lot of nice pieces on defense defensive backs good uh linebackers talented maybe but in experience against a guy who's our favorite thing about Connor Wegman is his ability to punish linebackers who play with bad leverage yep um like inexperienced linebackers do so that's another thing that makes you feel really good this weekend and number four let's just say playing the most perpetually overrated team in the country even more so than one over in Austin it was no not even close yep so yeah I'm I you know I don't think that snow Dame team's a top 17 but hey I don't think we're number 22 or whatever the hell it is 21 no not with a healthy wigman no all right let's let's uh we're going to have plenty of opportunities I think to talk more as the season goes on but right now the the question uh that you that you pose to yourself and then pose to me and then neither one of us actually answered is if a Conor a healthy Connor wigman how many how many wins does this team have prior to the playoff prior to the play I mean I think the the floor if Conor plays 12 games is 10 I do too I think it's 10 that's that's what I'm looking for well the four I think floor implies you really can't win fewer than that you know what I mean I don't know I I think it's a 10- win team it's a 10 win team I'll be very disappointed if we lose or if we win less than 10 games yeah yeah that's how I feel going into the season with a group of upper classmen in front of him and at a lot of skill positions and some real dudes I you know people talked a little bit down about the wide receiver core I'm not down on the wide receiver core at all I think uh I think there's some good players there and um I think that when you have a guy who can walk to the line of scrimmage and sees things pre- snap and react at the snap the way he does he's going to let that ball fly to the open guys and you know let's talk about the receiver report for one sec though because what I'm hearing and some people are going to go crazy over this is that moose is not really in the top three in the white rotation I don't know how I could Poss I I don't understand I I bring that up only to say if that guy isn't in the in the rotation then then the guys ahead of him have to be doing fun and because there's a lot of people panicking about the wide receiver room and I just don't see it I I think they're going to be fun I will just put I'll just say this all right that guy has all the talent in the world there's a reason that he wasn't in the top three for the last couple of years and it made everybody crazy I
