In College Football perception is reality.
Most seasons A&M is not a major player on the national scene. We’ve seen a few times when not much is expected and they end up having a solid season or pull an upset here and there. Not often either but when they go into a season with expectations of becoming relevant they have failed. Not necessarily always tanking completely but far from delivering anything of note to their hungry fanbase. They haven’t even threated to win a Championship of any kind in forever. (Weird thing is not just in Football. Some very good baseball teams but have also cracked under pressure.)
An experience A&M should be really good in 2020. In their division the major players will be plucking in a lot of new pieces, and an easy schedule for SEC standards. Let’s see if they can start changing the perception of melting in the heat of the lights. The goal should be no less than winning the West and making a serious run in the national scene. Flawed but undeniably physically talented Mond will be a Senior. LSU and Bama are recruiting elite talent, AU is right there also. The Mississippi schools have some reason for optimism. In 2021 with a fresh faced QB it won’t be easy. The future is now. A&M needs to win big in 2020. 9-3 with that schedule is a failure, it would mean no better than 1-3 vs decent opposition.

You make some solid points, and I have a hard time disagreeing with most of what you said.
One of our biggest obstacles has always been ourselves.
We don’t always demand excellence in the athletics arena the way other programs do.
We’re content with enjoying the moment and supporting the players and coaches—win or lose.
Obviously that doesn’t automatically translate to championships in the manner it does at other institutions.
