Do what? Did you watch the 3rd quarter? You guys won, enjoy it.


Did you? You hit on Long bombs. You couldn't sustain drives all day. Your defense never asserted itself.

At this rate, by the time we play them again we will have lost by 40 and half the team quit at halftime.

Teams play better than they expect and victories get overblown. Bama had several opportunities to win considering the "arse kickings" we took the last two weeks. aTm won great everyone here was gracious and congratulatory about it. Time for them to move on as you can tell they were taken by surprise at their success.

We kicked the shite out of Bama. I'm really kind of disappointed that so many of their fans/players can't just man up and admit that.



A&M will learn all the little things that are the norm for the SEC West. One is that Bama never gets beat by another team; They get mulligans should they happen to beat themselves; and of course they never ever get beat on penalties.

We didn't beat ourselves, the referees beat us. They called a hold on Barrett Jones and an offsides to end the game. The lack of favoritism by the referees threw off our whole gameplan.

The aggies opened up a can of whoop-azz and jumped out in front of us and it was essentially over before it started. We caught back up, didn't quit, but just couldn't get it done.

Get over it losers.


Uh....I believe you were the loser in this case!

I don't see the problem with what he said. He's pissed we lost, and wants another shot to beat A+M. I'm sure there are a bunch of LSU players that would like to play us again.


It just comes across the wrong way to me. I really hope our team does not see the aTm game as some sort of fluke. In our only 2 quality games, Bama has looked like a decent top 15 squad but not even close to a powerhouse unanimous #1 type team. If our seniors still see us as far above everyone else, Georgia is going to kick our asses. We need an underdog mentality instead of an "oops we goofed up" mentality. This defense is not even close to what it was last year in both talent and execution. I hope they realize that.

I see nothing wrong with him saying that. He feels like there is some unfinished business and he isnt going to get a chance to take care of it personally.


There is no unfinished business. aTm won. Lester feeling like there is unfinished business is what I don't like. The system fell our way due to incredible circumstances last year and we were given the fortunate opportunity to avenge our loss, but our players should not be mentioning rematches in their first breath after taking a loss the following year. We are not owed anything and they were outplayed by a better team. I hope he realizes that 99% of the time there will be no rematch and he needs to lay it all on the field every game.

OP, I think you jumped a little too quickly on this one. I want our players wishing they had it to do over again after a loss to be able to correct their mistakes. There's a difference between saying that, and believing we're entitled to a "rematch".

Don't let the corndogs get in your head. Players have been making comments like this forever, and it's much more respectful than "the better team lost" or "we gave it to them."

I never said that there was. I simply stated that Lester feels voided because of this loss, and he wishes he had another shot at them next year. Whats the big fricking deal?

Who are you? No one cares about what you like and don't like. Deal with it.

You have comprehension problems, dude. He is a senior. He will not have an opportunity to play TAMU again, because he wont be here next year. Do you understand what he is trying to say now?
