00:00 We'll be right back.
00:03 What is up? Texas A and M Aggies
00:08 fans. Indy Cartim here with
00:09 your Texas A and M Aggies Daily
00:10 Blitz for today. Thursday,
00:12 November 9th. It is Mississippi
00:14 State Week as the Aggies prep
00:17 to take on the Bulldogs at Kyle
00:19 Field on Saturday. The main
00:21 focus of the Aggies at this
00:23 point of the season uh as the
00:25 season really as far as any I
00:29 guess that's pretty much out
00:30 the window at this point as the
00:31 Aggies sit at five and four.
00:34 They still need one win to be
00:36 bowl eligible and that of
00:37 course is the goal as he has
00:39 stated um recently Jimbo
00:42 Fisher says we just want to be
00:44 bowl eligible now and it seems
00:46 like such a defeat for the
00:48 Aggies for such a team for such
00:49 the roster they have um for the
00:52 goals that really have been set
00:55 out before the Aggies for
00:56 several years uh before every
00:59 season since Jimbo's here
01:01 really and you know the
01:03 disappointment uh never does
01:05 seem to stop uh with with
01:07 Jimbo and apparently now there
01:08 is there is talk of a hot seat
01:11 situation for Jimbo regardless
01:12 of the 70 plus million dollar
01:14 buyout. Don't know that it'll
01:16 happen after this year. He may
01:18 get another year due to that
01:20 buyout situation or maybe just
01:22 the higher ups with the Aggies
01:24 think that maybe he's still got
01:25 a chance. Whatever the
01:27 situation is, he's still here
01:28 for at least three more games
01:31 and this weekend, it is the
01:33 Bulldogs at Kyle Field. So, the
01:35 Aggies still need as we
01:36 mentioned one win to become
01:38 bowl eligible. They have missed
01:40 out on bowl games the last 2
01:41 years in 2021. That was because
01:45 they just flat out didn't
01:46 qualify uh or I'm sorry last
01:49 year because they flat out did
01:50 not qualify at five and seven
01:52 in 2021. Of course, the eight
01:54 and four record qualified them
01:55 and they were invited to I
01:58 think it was the Gator but I
01:59 don't remember what well, it
02:00 doesn't matter um because they
02:03 because of the I guess COVID
02:05 players were sick and they
02:06 didn't have enough people to
02:07 play the game. So, they had to
02:08 back out from that. So, it's
02:09 been two seasons since the
02:10 Aggies have played in a bowl
02:11 game. Jimbo Fisher would
02:13 certainly like to end that
02:15 streak um this year and he
02:17 would like for that sixth win
02:19 to come against Mississippi
02:20 State and who wouldn't? The
02:22 Aggies are heavily favored um
02:24 and some of the favorites are
02:26 the Aggies against Mississippi
02:27 State. A lot of that probably
02:29 has to do with the fact that
02:30 the Aggies are at home. They do
02:32 play better at Caldfield. A lot
02:33 of that has to do with the fact
02:34 that the Bulldogs just flat out
02:36 suck. Um to put it, you know,
02:39 bluntly uh not that the Aggies
02:41 don't suck but uh the Bulldogs
02:44 suck probably a little bit
02:46 more. Um so, yeah, Mississippi
02:50 State four and five. Um a win
02:52 over the Bulldogs would also
02:54 be a win over the Aggies. If
02:55 they're falling to 500 at five
02:58 and five on the year, that
02:59 would be a huge embarrassment
03:01 considering the talent that's
03:02 up and down the Aggies roster.
03:04 Um if the Aggies do end up
03:07 losing of course, then you
03:08 have two more chances to become
03:10 eligible. The most likely of
03:11 those would be would come um
03:14 next week against Abilene
03:16 Christian at Caldfield uh
03:18 before you go on to finish the
03:19 season against LSU on the
03:22 season. Um you know, will the
03:26 Aggies be eligible? Yes. Uh
03:29 does anybody care? I mean, I
03:31 guess we get to watch another
03:32 game of Aggies football,
03:34 right? Um before the season's
03:36 over. If if that's what you
03:37 care about. Uh whatever the
03:39 bowl game is, it's not going to
03:41 be what we thought, what we
03:43 wanted, what we anticipated,
03:44 what we hoped for at the start
03:46 of the season. As that's just
03:48 the way it's gone this year.
03:49 That's the way it's gone the
03:50 last 2 years and it is what it
03:52 is. It's expected to start as
03:54 of today, Thursday as we head
03:56 into the to uh the weekend. Uh
03:58 he got the **** beat out of him
04:00 against uh Ole Miss in the
04:02 thirty-eight to thirty-five
04:03 loss last week. Seem to be on
04:05 his butt on every play. Saw him
04:07 noticeably limping throughout
04:09 the game. Shaking off injuries
04:11 throughout the game. The dude's
04:12 a warrior. I've said it all
04:13 year. Um and you know, Connor
04:16 Wigman probably will not
04:17 return for the rest of the
04:19 season. There's no point in him
04:20 coming back uh regardless of
04:22 whether he's able to health
04:23 wise, injury wise or not. Just
04:25 there's no point in it. Uh let
04:27 Johnson finish out the season
04:29 here. And uh you know, the
04:31 Bulldogs, they're riding their
04:33 own two-game losing streak here
04:35 against uh Auburn and uh
04:38 Kentucky. The past 2 weeks,
04:40 they're not good. Uh they have
04:42 the 66th ranked uh passing
04:45 defense allowing to almost 200
04:48 just shy of 230 yards per game
04:50 um and we know Johnson is
04:53 proficient. This passing game
04:54 has been a lot better last week
04:56 in the lost Ole Miss. He threw
04:57 for 305 yards along with I
04:59 think it was a touchdown and
05:01 one pick. So, Johnson should
05:02 have a field day if the
05:04 offensive line can uh give him
05:06 any kind of time and uh I
05:09 believe that will happen again.
05:11 Mississippi State's not very
05:13 good. So, the offensive line
05:15 will look a lot better against
05:16 their defensive front and
05:18 should give Johnson plenty of
05:19 time to get the passing game
05:20 going. Uh so we'll see. We'll
05:23 see. Prediction wise, if you
05:24 guys want a prediction for me,
05:25 it's Thursday. Usually, you do
05:26 this on Friday but I'll go and
05:27 do it for you. My prediction
05:28 for Aggies hosting the
05:30 Bulldogs. Give me Aggies
05:34 Thirty-seven Bulldogs. How you
05:39 like that? Thirty-seven twenty
05:41 Aggies on Saturday. They will
05:42 become bowl eligible and we
05:44 will be celebrating a win.
05:45 I'll probably be back with a
05:47 pregame right before the well
05:49 and I'll be watching the
05:50 Bulldogs at 630 on Saturday
05:51 Central Time. I'll probably be
05:53 back Saturday at some point
05:54 during the day before the game
05:56 to do a little quick hit
05:57 preview for you and then as
05:59 well as the famous Daily Blitz
06:01 postgame Aggie show whether
06:02 it's a win or a loss, we'll
06:04 come on here immediately after
06:05 the game. Uh I'll record it,
06:07 publish it, get it out there
06:08 for you very quickly. So, you
06:10 guys can commiserate with me
06:11 or celebrate with me.
06:13 Whichever the case may be,
06:14 hopefully, it'll be a
06:15 celebration. So, that's what
06:17 we're looking at. Aggies
06:18 favoring the bulldogs. Uh
06:19 again, I gave you the lines.
06:21 Aggies favored by seventeen and
06:22 a half. Your total forty-three
06:24 and a half if you are a
06:25 betting man. The money lines,
06:26 Bulldogs plus 650. Aggies minus
06:29 sixteen thirteen. Don't bet the
06:31 Aggies to win cuz you're not
06:32 gonna make any money anyway.
06:33 It's not a good risk. Reward
06:34 there. Uh we'll be back
06:36 Saturday with your pregame
06:39 quick hits. I'm Indycar Tim.
06:40 Until then, boys and girls,
06:43 we'll see ya.
