Love the "get some perspective" posts. Alabama fans melted down after a win over Arkansas, and lit a fire under the team and Saban to respond.

We are a bunch of namby pamby fans who settle for mediocrity because we think it's not "being a good Ag" to hold one of the highest paid coaches in all of football to some accountability.

Because they've puffed their chests out to their buddies and coworkers the last two years and now they have to eat some crow. As if they actually played a part in the rise and fall themselves.

I have finally reached a point where I am no longer surprised by the simplicity of certain minds.

See, many of you people seek to find a single reason to explain things that bother you. Because your feelings are so hurt, and your tender souls are so confused by the state of a particular relationship, you seek to isolate all your pain in one target - or one explanation - and then vilify the life out of it. That way you can concentrate all your emotional angst in one area, because you're just too hurt to take the time to seek the truth.

Would you like an example? Here are a few:

1) Johnny is gone so we suck
2) Sumlin was lucky in 2012
3) Players have a barber chair
4) We have a helicopter
5) Snyder is an awful coach
6) We pamper our players
7) Spav is too young
8) Our administration settles for mediocrity

Those are eight "reasons" that many of you have chosen take a singular focus on - and then run your tiny brains through your big mouths.

None of you know anything.
HTH.


That is a very Eric Hoffer-like analysis. Well done. Extra points if you know who Eric Hoffer was

So what is the problem, oh "complex" one?! What should we focus our tiny minds on?!

Oh, and you completely misused the word "vilify".

Looks like a bunch of people need to get a dog, amirite?

Johnny and Evans were great and carried the team. Without them, we see we should have never left the Big 12. Had we stayed, at least we would still have a chance to beat t.u. A 1-11 season where we beat texas is successful. There is no success left for this season.

A 1/11 season with a win over tu isn't a success! That mind set is awful!

desiring to beat the hell outta t.u. is what made A&M A&M. Now we are not to different from other schools like Arkansas, fighting for the bottom of the SEC. We don't even have an instate rivalry.

That's just sad.

Hahaha, OP that was just so heart wrenching.

Sumlin damn sure hasn't given a flying fig about all the millions of Aggie dollars he has spent to pamper those pansy a^^ football players and coaches.
Nor does he give a flip about the millions of dollars spent by Aggies each week in tickets, hotel rooms, food, etc. He expects it and you want us to feel some sympathy for HIM with the $5 million he gets paid yet has NOT EARNED!! And he can not even give us a win in Kyle Field with a peer team? Seriously get a grip, this man asked for the job and held us up for a raise, even without a Kyle Field win of substance!!!! And we ponied up, stupidly with nothing to show for it. This coach needs to man up and get these guy in shape to win and stop all the swag crap because he hasn't earned crap.

Johnny Manziel earned and paid Sumlins way!!!!!!!!!! Sumlin's uncanny luck may have just run out!!

I approve of this message......

There are over 100,000 seats in our new $450 million stadium and not one of them is "free admission." Season Ticket package is around $4000-$5000 for regular seats. People don't keep paying that when a team plays like garbage every week. Most reasonable people don't expect to win every game, but they sure as hell don't pay to see a team quit on the field like yesterday.

He looks like a guy that just finished his worst ever professional performance and had to talk to the media about it. The guy isn't broken, clueless or defeated. He didn't forget how to coach a football team. Sumlin is frustrated at the last 3-4 weeks and hasn't had time to reflect on what went wrong. You all would be jumping up and down if he came out with "ag swag".

My thoughts:

Kyle Allen Starts - that or everyone at TAMU turns on him
His good friend Snyder - is getting canned --> Muschamp we love you
Were firing our O Coordinator too --> who to replace with I don't know
thats a very good start.
bradleyk
How long do you want to ignore this user?
This may be the wrong time and wrong place for a serious question, but....

Is it really a Hill problem? I don't know that Allen can do anything more productive at this stage. Seems there are bigger problems... receivers dropping balls,receiver route mistakes (or is it QB throwing wrong routes?), OLine that can't give a QB 3 seconds to scan. It takes right at 3 seconds to process a right to left scan of 4 WRs. Defensive scheme is a problem.

So... my question is really, Is Kenny Hill the real problem? When the pocket collapses, what will Allen do any differently.

This isn't the team of JFF, Evans, Swope, Matthews, Gray, etc... these kids have a long way to go, but looks more like they need to learn the playbook better and execute their assignments.

It's more than a Hill problem. Space91 nailed it. We have a discipline problem.

And sonofdavid, blow it out your uptight ass. I had two uncles in WWII, and I lived on Oahu for 6 six years, so I am more than familiar with what happened at Pearl.

My point was simple. Our coach is shocked that his way of doing things is not working.

We need to stop with the swag and get back to Junction.

No bs in the presser was a joke. It was full of bs and Sumlin knows how to work the media. He should have resigned after that debacle of a game but his snicker is that he makes 5.5 mill and Aggies will accecpt mediocrity and worse because they always do. And he just makes his deposits.

All the swag stuff is mostly for show with recruits. Everything I've read from people who've seen practices is that sumlin is a task master.

That is the look of bewilderment and fear. It goes way further than any of this "He loves Kenny like a son" bullcrap.

His team is in total disarray and he knows it.


You're seriously comparing a football game to world war 2 where millions lost their lives fighting. That's absolutely ridiculous and quite sad that you would compare a football game to one of the biggest tragedies in american history



Dude, get over yourself.

The SEC doesn't allow luck to be successful
Les Miles says "hi".

Sumlin, and his coaching staff, are (or at least should be) completely embarrassed by what happened yesterday. That's I heard and saw during that interview - a man who was embarrassed and beaten.

The question is - what's he going to do about it?
threemeat
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Somewhere along the way we missed the part where Sumlin gets pissed. Can someone point me to the video where sumlin uses a little fear to get guys properly motivated. Sometimes that's all kids respond to.

I think Kenny has started his last game for him and it hurts him. You know he's got a great relationship with his QB. He's probably like a son to him.


OK, then put Hill in timeout!!
