Damn, just like that one Alamo Bowl. Similar in the sense the home team came back to win in both cases. Not similar in the sense UCLA and aTm both recruit similarly in the top 20 range while Texas recruited top 5 classes prior to the Alamo Bowl and OSU recruited high 30 low 40 classes. But it was nice having a coach who gave fans confidence our team should beat teams with top 5 talent on the road and then do a pretty good job of making that expectation seem realistic on the field of play. Wrong Alamo Bowl

He might be talking about TCU vs Oregon in the 2015 Alamo Bowl. Ducks melted down big time.

What OSU lost tonight...the Pac-12 record for biggest comeback. Remember Fresno State on Labor Day weekend when Joe A. was coaching his first game? Labor Day lightning striking again and against an SEC team counts as a football miracle of the first order!

Not into Mora, but the other coach might be available soon if anyone's interested?

Sumlin's most successful time at Texas A&M was with Mike Sherman's players. A&M has fallen off every year under Sumlin. Mike Sherman would be a better choice. As would Briles........more controversial.........but better.

I think that CGA recruits better (or at least smarter) than Sumlin. Sumlin may be able to out X and O CGA, though. Still, there are better choices than Sumlin.

A couple of things I believe. A football game lasts more than one half, and a football season lasts more than two games.
The other thing, opinions are not like as-hol--. People normally only have one as-hol-.

Sounds like Sumlin is not the favorite of this guy: Houston attorney Tony Buzbee offered his thoughts on Facebook on Sunday night after Texas A&M blew a 34-point lead to lose 45-44 in Los Angeles. He wrote:
"I'm sure I may be criticized for this post but I honestly don't care. I've been on the Board of Regents for the A&M System for almost seven years. During that time, I've not once commented on Kevin Sumlin and his performance during his tenure at our school. I never said a word when he and his agent manipulated a much bigger and longer contract. I said nothing about his arrogance and his mishandling of multiple player controversies. I said nothing when we had multiple awesome recruiting classes, only to see key players leave our school or underperform. "But tonight I am very disappointed and I have to say this. Kevin Sumlin was out-coached tonight, which isn't new. He recruits well, but can't coach the big games, or the close games. Our players were better tonight. Our players were more talented tonight. But our coaches were dominated on national TV, yet again. I'm only one vote on the Board of Regents but when the time comes my vote will be that Kevin Sumlin needs to GO.
"In my view he should go now. We owe it to our school and our players. We can do better."
