The Alamo Bowl turned out not to be an exhibition on what the Aggies can do without Fran in the way. J-Train still didn't get the ball, we still didn't convert on 3rd down (6-16), and we still did really strange things in long yardage situations. But none of that matters. As a fan of Texas A&M football, I am able to dismiss all previous failures and look forward to a bright future.

Last year I looked forward to a vertical passing game, a stronger Goodson, a thinner Lane, and the solidified 4-2 defense. Ooops.

This year I am looking forward to the Sherman Era.


Sherman's coordinator spots are still officially open, but all signs point to Reggie Herring on defense, and either San Diego Chargers tight ends coach Clancy Barone or Seattle Seahawks’ receivers coach Nolan Cromwell on offense.

Four-star wide receiver Aaron Boyd is now considering TAMU after his older brother Shane Boyd, who just completed his first season as a backup with the Houston Texans where Sherman was the offensive coordinator, "put a little bug in his ear and coach Sherman saw his highlights and loved him."

Aaron is an absolut stud of a receiver...I have watched him since he was a freshman and he has gotten better each year...if A&M grabs him away from UK...that would be huge...Boyd and Fuller in the same class...and on the feild together...wow...just think about that one...Tommy Dorman throwing to them...sheeezzzz

I am so glad this era has ended...it was one that I would like to forget...by the way...I know there where guys out of the line up for the bowl game but wow were they going deep into the depth chart...that #18 got picked on a ton...and really never got comfortable....I hope this spring is very productive...I'd love to see Jerod Johnson get a serious look.....
