I have mixed feelings tonight

On the one hand, I like watching Texas A&M win football games. It brings me a degree of happiness no matter who we beat.
On the other, watching 90k throw up 120 decibels in a dogfight against a bad team after playing poorly makes me wonder how much our fanbase values GOOD football. LSU had 10k left in the second half tonight. They booed their team in at halftime. They'll fire a coach after 1 year.
Their fans are spoiled brats, but maybe that's what it takes? Maybe we have to hold our teams to such a standard that we empty the building at halftime on nights like tonight.
IDK, just rambling. I liked the 4th quarter defense.

The “demanding” attitude of LSU’s fan base is what got them in this situation. They ran off a consistent 9 win, occasional national championship run coach because of their spoiledness.

I love ya Roger but I just don't get this line of thinking. We support our team. I think a lot of us want a change, but we don't have to go absolutely nuclear on our program to make it happen

Of course we value good football.
We also like to get loud and support the team.
Not mutually exclusive.
I'm always happy when Kyle gets rowdy. I was grinning like a fool at my TV tonight listening to it.

There was an Aggie attitude of complacency back in the day that needed to change. As students in the 90's we couldn't say anything remotely critical of RC without getting a head-shaking condescending lecture about not knowing how good we had it. The TMF would threaten to take over more of the student section if they didn't show up for the full game every time.
Those old guys were happy just to be bowl eligible most of the time, and beating t.u. for the Cotton Bowl once in a while was all that really mattered to them. That had to change, and it has.
But what fricking good does it do to turn into spoiled fans like LSU or Whorns who leave at halftime if they don't have a big lead and boo their own players? That doesn't sound fun to me. Unless you're some mega-donor or network executive, most of us have zero control over this. You can't let emotional reactions to games turn you into a douchebag.
The funniest part about LSU losing to Troy was knowing how many pathetic dudes had their whole year ruined that night. Don't be that guy.
