Why keep buying a crappy product?

Week in week out I see angry texts and Facebook messages and TD posts from Ags saying how trey spent x amount of dollars only to see a shitty Aggie football team with no heart. Then drive back home angry regretting the fact that they made the trip.

After 59-0 I decided that none of my money would go to Aggie football while Kevin Sumlin was still coach. No other fan base rewards ineptitude like we do, we’ve made it a tradition!

Why put yourself and your pocketbook through it?

I've never understood people who get angry over a game they have no control over.

So it doesn’t bother you if we win or lose?

Lets say you save up a grand to do something with your family. Among all the other things you could do, you choose an Aggie game and proceed to watch us get blown out. You’re telling me you wouldn’t regret not doing something else?

Of course it bothers me if we win or lose, but saying if we don’t win then you regret making the trip? That’s straight up childish.

We aren’t just losing, we’re getting embarrassed on a near weekly basis. An Aggie football team should never be a double digit home underdog.

We take pride in our team because we’re th 12th man. They should reflect who we are as Aggies and our values out on the field like we do at work and in the classroom. Ags may run out of time, but we don’t give up.

Sumlin has not reflected that mentality nor our core values and I don’t understand how it’s at all acceptable.

Watch out, the chin pubed douchebag will say you're part of the problem as he drunkenly calls the radio show on Monday.

What does any of this have to do with someone saying they regret going to a game because it was a loss?

Like I said, it’s the way we’ve been losing, not simply losing in and of itself. Everything I illustrated factors into the reason why people are so pissed off.

So I guess Gabe and Olin will be fired before Monday? And get rid of that Mark Dodge character and don't invite him back - he has a bad attitude.

You should see a shrink about your Liucci-phobia.

What the frick, you've never regretted going to a loss? You've never thought to yourself that there could have been more fun ways to spend your money?

I hope you're not one of those millennials who's just all about the awesome tailgate and the awesome rap music inside Club Kyle.

We need more people to think like the OP, the athletic department will start to get the message with empty seats.

I fortunately live close to CS so I don’t pay for a hotel if going to a game, and usually have access to tickets through work so I don’t have season tickets. All that to say I still understand where you’re coming from and would hate to be dropping hundreds or thousands of dollars on a weekend taking your family to watch the turd on the field that sumlin trots out there.

Now I do donate money, which entitles me to bitch and moan about not just our football program, but the A&M system as a whole because they both get some dollars from me every year.

I spent around the same amount of money I normally spend following Aggie football during the fall and spent it on the Astros playoff run. Needless to say I am happy with my decision

If the crappiness continues I think a lot of people are going to walk away from season tickets. Could end up being a blood bath

Because that product is the only one with a flavor close to what I like.

I don't want a grocery store generic like Dr Thunder, but if there is no Dr Pepper I'm going to drink a Dr Thunder.
