I just feel like we want as few bowl eligible teams as possible to free up bowl slots. Rather the bowl slot is for us or for Boise to free up Vegas for us or someone else. And if we drop a few, we may need the bowl slots freed up for teams from our conference to leave the Potato or Arizona for us.

To be honest, I did have to look up Texas Tech and Kansas State's schedules to know the scenarios. I can however say from memory that two years ago, when we were wanting Texas to beat 5-6 Texas Tech to free up a bowl slot, the Longhorns disappointed and Tech won for number 6 to take a bowl slot. And the last two years, the Duke VS. Wake Forest game disappointed cause of another bowl slot getting taken. Last year, it was 5-6 Wake Forest we were wanting to lose to already eligible Duke to free up a slot, and Wake won. Two years ago, it was the reverse with us wanting 5-6 Duke to lose to already eligible Wake to free up a slot, and Duke won. The other things I can remember from the final Saturday last year include being happy about Florida State losing to Florida, Notre Dame beating USC, and Arizona losing to Arizona State. While being unhappy with Minnesota beating Wisconsin.

As for two years ago, the other thing I can remember was not wanting Georgia Tech to beat Georgia for #6 then being happy it didn't happen.

Wells lost another one possession game this weekend to TCU.

4-6 and looks like they aren’t getting bowl eligible.

Not a MW fan but this job is looking like mission impossible.

Matt's probably not too worried. He's probably just enjoying the money. As Tim Miles once stated "If they fire me, they're still going to pay me. I'm still a millionaire, so I've got that going for me."

I look at his record they're very differently. It is a well-known fact that they did not recruit well before Matt Wells.
I think his team is very thin on Talent. And yet somehow they've been able to be competitive and games that they had no right even being in.
That is an extremely tough League with very good coaching.
It seems like he has that moving in the right direction to me.

You realize that we should have lost at Fresno and could have lost to Wyoming and we’d be in the same position. Right?

Yes. And you realize this thread is about winning one possession games right?
As bad as Andersen has been historically, Wells is catastrophically worse and that has played out in Lubbock.

Oh I am very happy we beat Fresno and Wyoming. That winning win was hard fought and a season saver. I just don’t see the point in relishing the plight of a former coach that means nothing to us - especially when we are not far from suffering the same fate.

It is just like many of our fans that think it is funny that BYU loses, even when we lose the same day.

It would be good for . . . everyone if Matt is successful in the Big 12.
I'm not necessarily disagreeing, but please explain why/how it is good for everyone if Matt is successful in the Big 12. Wouldn't his success simply encourage other coaches to use USU as a stepping stone? People love to follow successful precedents when making career decisions. The more often coaches leave USU and fail elsewhere, it seems the less likely it is other coaches will try to follow in their footsteps.

I don't really care much about how Wells does or does not do. I am in the camp that the Aggies immediately went down hill in performance after Gary left (which could have been a regression to the mean situation -- but seemed to have a lot to do with reduced on-the-field effort under Wells compared to GA), but thought Wells redeemed himself in his final season (which could have been a result of great coordinator hires).

That said, here are the Texas Tech winning percentages for four seasons before Wells's arrival:
.538
.417
.462
.417

Here is Texas Tech's winning percentage under Wells this season:
.400

Wells may have things moving in the right direction, but that is not reflected in this season's record.

And Texas Tech finishes with KState and Texas this year. They'll be underdogs in both of those games.

This board’s ability to s*** on the coach who brought Utah State the longest period of sustained football success in recent memory never ceases to amaze me.

I don’t really understand why Gary is so loved and Matt is so hated. They both do things that drive me bananas, but both are good (not great) football coaches.
I don't think it's really all that hard to understand. I'm going to attempt to lay this out. Let me state that I do like Wells and wish him success. I can see why Wells is not liked by people though.

#1: Matt had an ability to be condescending to people and arrogant. That rubbed people the wrong way. It also seemed evident he played favorites with different kids on the team and that bugged people too. Take the example from Saturday's game when he's on camera just chewing his D coordinator act and treating him like he's an idiot.

#2: A lot of players also didn't like Wells. That was no secret. I think he got a lot better at this his last two years. But for the first couple years he was quite a jerk to a lot of kids. It got a point current players would tell certain recruits on visits to not come here. Ask Tania on here about which coaching staff the kids like more.

#3: Yes, Wells left for a better job and more money and we all would've done the same. That doesn't change the fact that he still did it. If some female leaves you for a better looking man with more money, does it make it hurt any less?

#4: Examples like this tweet right here from Jaylen Warren's dad. These type of things seemed like a regular occurrence.
Anybody who truly believes that a professional college coach taking a better job is like having your girlfriend leave for a better-looking guy probably deserves to get hurt. Image
It's more like having a girlfriend leave you for a guy cause he has more money. I'm not bitter but of course it's gonna feel good if it doesn't work out in that (I can't express myself without swearing) hole town they live in.

Those losses have been awful, no doubt.
But if we beat New Mexico this weekend, we'll have met expectations this year.

I cheer for the Aggies and whoever plays BYU.

I wish Matt Wells well because he is a former Aggie.

I think he accepted a job that is not doable (in the way his new school wants), but he 's getting paid a lot of money to take the associated punches. It's a good gig if one can get it. JMO

I haven't paid any attention to TT this year but I just noticed their schedule, handful of close losses... seems familiar


Just another day in the (Aggie) Brotherhood

Who cares about TT? I would prefer to lose close games than get rolled 42-7 in the first half. I guess we all find pleasure in different things.

I find pleasure in having a winning season which a win at NM guarntees us. Now stating that I still am really disappointed in how we performed in a couple of our games.

Would you prefer to go to a bowl game, or stay home ?

^^^^^ Bingo
Like it or not, the close wins we've gotten this year in one possession games (3-1) will probably propel us to a 7-5 record and a bowl.
Blowouts suck, but close games matter just as much.
