Well who forks over the $ to get players? Surely it isn't the coach. That program is dog shite. Always has been. F them

I don't think people realize how bad A&M's backup QB really is and how pathetic the A&M QB room looks right now...

I think literally everyone realizes this.

Elko is retarded because he has hitched his wagon to Reed for two yrs.


These folks thought they could never be anything as long as they were in Texas’ shadow…so they moved to the SEC West right as Nick Saban got rolling. And Texas’ fell off the map for 15 years. A&M could have turned the rivalry in that time. Retarded may be harsh but you will find sharper knives. The mismanagement of their QB room hardly registers in their history of doing stupid shite.

Yes go ahead and load up on portal players from a four win team. That will go great
They have a lot of highly rated players, that's not the issue at aggyland.

The move to the SEC is a major variable in this. Status quo in the Big 12 wouldn't have led to Texas being irrelevant for 15 years. The A&M move to the SEC was a thing of beauty and exquisite timing. Unfortunately we squandered it like only Aggy can and now we're in an arguably worse position than we were in the 00s Big 12

No, Mack Brown’s time was coming to an end and we have no idea how to hire coaches. Our end was coming and it certainly wasn’t caused by A&M. We upset you in that final year, but we had already fallen behind. We had gone 5-7 in 2010.

I agree with you. The timing was exquisite. It reminds me of the aggy who swam 3/4 of the way across the river, decided he couldn’t make it and swam back.

You guys had a pretty good draw getting Texas as a rival. I mean of all the bluebloods you got one of the easier ones to manage. That was too rough for you so you said “let’s try our luck with Alabama.” Lulz.

You act like this team isn’t finishing 4-8 anyway. Might as well play Hart and see if he is worth holding onto this offseason

If you were responding to me I agree with you. When a QB is struggling like Reed you pull him to protect him from himself. Let him sit and watch and get in a different head space. Leaving him in all year has been cruel. Not to mention the primary responsibility of a coach is to make the right decision for his team. This version of Reed is not that and hasn’t been for weeks.

They need to soap in a sock the QB or coach or both.

At least now you are not in worse shape because Texas pulled some underhanded crap. You guys suck on your own merit now.

It certainly wasn't entirely or even mostly caused by A&M, no. But the SEC move was certainly a factor.

No argument there. But we have always underperformed, and only a fraction of that is due to Texas duplicity.

It was a factor in our inability to get up off the floor perhaps. Hard to say with the miserable coaches we had during that time. We put ourselves in the hole though unfortunately.

Lol. We came to a stop sign in 1940. Still there.

Elko is actually very smart. He’s an Ivy League guy. He knows what’s wrong. And he knows Reed isn’t it. The only thing that makes sense is that some donor dictated the NIL contract and guaranteed playing time without his knowledge or consent and he’s letting them burn.


And if that’s what happened I don’t blame him. Too many donors have been managing Aggie football for years.


You can’t see it from where we sit but this season may have changed A&M forever. In a good way.
