I know its off topic but could someone check on that cat, I don't think it has enough room to breath.

Are you kidding. He's sleeping like a baby kitten. This is much better than a pillow.

I know I'm envious.

Bradley had 1 kickoff return for 18 yds this past game vs Texas Tech. I read Goodson was being limited in practice this week due to an unjury so perhaps Bradley might get a few carries against fellow celler team, Iowa State.

Aggies Mailbag: Stephens a mystery man so far this season



By Brent Zwerneman - Express-News
COLLEGE STATION — Last spring, Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman spoke of how freshman Bradley Stephens of McAllen was pushing returning starter Mike Goodson at tailback.

Now begging the question:

What's happened to Stephens, who's earned all of nine carries for 39 yards this season? Sherman says it's simple, with an explanation based on pure numbers at the position.

“I thought he had an excellent spring,” Sherman said of Stephens. “But it's very difficult to juggle four running backs. That was the case Saturday.”

Stephens didn't earn a carry in a 43-25 loss to Texas Tech even though Goodson sat out part of the game with a knee injury. Cyrus Gray earned four carries and Keondra Smith one. Sherman said he understands that Stephens, who's 5-foot-10 and 204 pounds, needs to fit in somewhere.

“There has to be a place — and I've said it to our staff — there has to be a place in our game plan for Bradley Stephens,” Sherman said.

Sherman said Stephens' attitude through it all has been outstanding.

“He doesn't complain or moan about it, and I don't want us to take advantage of that,” Sherman said. “He's great. I don't know if he's missed a practice. He had to leave early once and he apologized because he had to take a test.

“He's just a great kid.”

Got to see the Aggie/OK game this weekend. Only saw Bradley on kickoff returns. Oklahoma would not kick to him. Not at all. They kicked to a true freshman so often that he set the school record for kick off return yardage and made more yards than the Aggie offense. Once on a squib kick Bradley was able to get it and made a 20 or so yard run back. Like I said, Oklahoma did not want him to get the ball. There's a measure of respect in there.

A&M just got another high recruit. Christine Michael is considered the 4th best RB, and 28th overall according to rivals.com. I really hope this doesnt affect Bradley's playing time.

theirs a reason why he ended up @ A&m...his offer list, isnt what it looks like...think about it, 5* recruit, that LSU, UT, and OU just dont want any part of...its not like he choose a&m, he basically was forced into them....

I heard he wanted a degree from this uni. His friends la Mantia and other are there. I don't know I found it odd that he went there with all the others RB that were there to begin with. NOW, new coach, suck it up Brad show this coach what the valley has to offer the game! Go out there and bust some chops like you are used to, and we all know you can.
