TEXAS A&M +13.5 (Friday) - This is the second time in 4 years that A&M has come into the Texas game immediately following a major tragedy. They posted an emotional 20-16 outright upset win back in 1999, on the same week that several students were killed when a bonfire went out of control at a pep rally. Now, the Aggies must cope with the death of Brandon Falls, who passed away on Monday from a blood clot in his lungs. They have dedicated the Texas game to Falls, and plan to all wear a patch with his number on their helmets. As for matters on the field, A&M can be excused for last week?s home overtime loss to Missouri, as that was a prime ?sandwich? game the week after they upset Oklahoma and the game before Texas. The Longhorns had any remote national title hopes dashed with their 42-38 loss at Texas Tech in their last game, and they are simply too risky an investment here, giving nearly 2 touchdowns to what figures to be a very emotional rival.

i believe the Horns are still feeling that Tech loss last week and yes with this in-state rivalry, i think A&M will keep it close.....
A&M all the way on this one. Not a bad money line pick, either. The Longhorns are having major trouble with their run game right now. (couldn't even run on Texas Tech)
any of you guys know about A&M's qb? Is he still doubtful? It seems like their offense has improved has with him playing...
a week ago steelcity selections (burgh) posted a trend that has worked-about unbeaten teams after they lose-that they are a good go against the next time out-reasoning is there championship hopes are down the drain? now texas already lost but they still had a shot until tech beat them-now where will there minds be on friday? think alot of points in this one and a&m is the wtg! gl
btw-i also noticed that nice trend over the years-why not? u play so hard over the year and 1 game can knock u out of the dream

Reggie McNeal will not be playing in today's game, but Dustin Long has been the A&M starter for most of the year and has done a pretty good job.bookkilla said:
The quarterback of A&M Reggie McNeil is doubtful for the game leaving it in Dustin Long's hands. Sorry boys but like Texas to pull this out by 20!
TxAM to win one for the "Gipper" Slocum who just might be on his way out. Rumor mill has it that Franchione is packing his bag for College Station.
