It's a game. Yeah it sucks that the Aggies have hit the ****ter, but when it's all said and done, it's a game. Show up, tailgate, drink with your friends, and then watch football. We all want the Aggies to win, but there's no sense in "boycotting" just because they aren't winning. You sound like a whiny little *****. We had a watch party that had 30+, and we all managed to have a great time, despite the outcome of the game. OP needs to grow up.
It's entertainment. And pretty damn expensive entertainment at that. Maybe it's not that OP doesn't want to support fellow Ags, but after over a decade of futility (aside from the JFF years) and rising prices--even the losses are no longer entertaining.
That is not a "whiny little *****" or someone that "needs to grow up," but someone who understands the value of "a game" and is irritated at being taken for a ride. Certainly people here have abandoned movies or events that cost far less for their lack of entertainment.
Football is entertainment. Nothing more. Nothing less. And when the game is no longer entertaining to people who have, for years, invested hard earned money and ever dwindling time, their frustrations should be a little more understandable.
For example, if you look at the Ducks over the same time period and their rise to national prominence, you'll be hard pressed to find the blowout losses that we Aggies have witnessed time and again. What you will find is some hard fought games and close calls. While disappointing to their fans, I believe those type of games are the kind of
entertainment every Ag could stand behind.
But the **** we're watching is just plain old.
And people are tired of it.
Edit: for the following BZ comment:

There's an awful lot of ugliness out there from mad Aggies for one of its most embarrassing stretches in program history, and I can't say that I blame them. Ticket prices are sky high, the coach worked the school over for a $2 million raise during a fourth place finish in the SEC West last year (true loyalty is a long-lost word), and fans were asked to step up to pay for a $450 million ongoing renovation to Kyle Field with the idea they're helping fund a quality product that's all contributed to eliciting this response.
