Is there any chance that the swirling winds that were a problem during the Miami game be controlled and or reduced like what they are doing in Buffalo.

You want to build a new stadium because of one windy day?

No if possible make adjustments for the wind. Just found it interesting how they are controlling them.

Why don't we just play windy games in the indoor practice facility, and the fans can watch a live feed in the stadium? Problem solved.

My point was that the wind is typically not an issue in College Station…it is notoriously a problem in Buffalo

I've been to several games at Kyle at every single time the opponent is playing on the same field in the same conditions.

Night games in Lubbock were things of lore with the winds. It's a part of the game.

Easy solution - don't play December games in Texas.

maybe play college madden to determine playoff winners if it's windy?

I think a dome would make a lot of sense. Why should we bother with any weather elements?
Now, are you willing to be the first donor to get that project off the ground?

Yeah, it's almost like the OC didn't know about the wind or how to adjust his playcalling. Or maybe he was preoccupied with the weather forecast in Kansas.

Post JFf, we should have tore down Kyle and built an indoor outdoor stadium... Instead of dumping a crap load of money into the existing structure.. oh well ..

19-6. We'd have completed our chip shot FG too. Have a little more faith.

I don't think the wind would have affected the kick that went 3 inches above the long snapper's head

I didnt see wind as a problem with throwing the balls for Reed.
Two deep passes were accurate then never threw another deep one. Int were all just bad throws not due to wind.

The wind affects both teams equally. Miami actually missed more FGs than we did. That loss must be blamed on turnovers and the failure to establish the running game.

In A&M's two most windy games, Reed played the worst (texas and miami).

I'm all for 1 pm or 3:30 pm kickoffs in August and September with NO WIND.

One sure way to toughen up New Army.

We cant build a QB with a 67-72% passing percentage.
Im also being facetious

I think the wind gets into Marcel's head and affects him more than it should as in he overcompensates for it and his throws get super erratic.

In the case of the Miami game - I think the Miami DL was in his head and his throws were super erratic.

Nah....don't you even TexAgs, bro?

Reed's bad decisions, bad timing, bad feet, and bad throws (even on the short/easy ones) are all because Klein made bad play calls the last 2 games.
If Klein had just made better play calls, Reed would have looked like Pat Mahomes 2.0.

Better yet, if Klein had made better play calls, Ruben Owens would have also made better reads, multiple moves, broke the shoestring tackles, and not fallen face first so many times.

It's all on Klein. Because TexAgs says so.

Dang, I totally forgot it's always the OC's fault. Makes so much more sense now.

I guess we could blame the QB for poor QB play if he transfers somewhere else? Or maybe we should just continue blaming the wind all around, that seems like a safe option around these parts

Bring in giant fans, like the ones that Hollywood uses for movies, and position them to blow in the opposite direction to counter the winds.
