Horseshoe 2017 Random thoughts from yesterday:
1) Aggie Pack: I continue to be disappointed and underwhelmed by this so-called student section. No organization, no leadership, no knowledge of football. The loudest they were all night was while mugging for a camera before a punt all 200 of them. Seriously? AP leadership of 10, 12 years ago must be livid with what they have since become.
2) Lack of concentration: It sure seemed like we put it into cruise control after going up 21-0 6:00 into the game. Also, a dance party by the benches when Poly punted late in the 4th but before the 3-and-out with Spencer and Maier? Really bad look.
3) What the hell are we doing benching Meier with 459 YARDS for Spencer the first 2 downs of what ultimately was the most critical possession of the game? And then put Maier in for 3rd down? Can we more blatantly telegraph what we are doing? Yes, we most likely would run to burn clock and the last Poly timeout, but taking out Maier allowed Poly to sell out on the run, and then know the pass was surely coming on 3rd & long. Could not have been more conservative with the Spencer keepers on 1st and 2nd. Play to win the game.
4) Horseshoe: I saw the photo of the trophy on my phone and had to ZOOM IN to see it. Isn't this the 3rd iteration of the trophy? I guess we know what the solution is: never lose to Poly again. Pretty asinine and ridiculous if you ask me - 12 years, 3 trophies. FBS rivalry game trophies have been around for generations. Get it together Poly.
