COMMENTS

Texas A&M, a team with a rich history of the corps and their amazing marching band has been somewhat of a flop this season. It’s astonishing how badly they’ve done this season. Did any preseason service predict this nose dive for the Aggies? I don’t think so. If the Aggies could pull off an upset it would be something positive the program could ride into 2023 with. You never know what can happen in college football. That said, I think LSU wins by double digits.
