30 years of season tickets. This thread summarizes why I let them go after 2016.
1995
2005
Preseason ranked, coming off a Cotton Bowl appearance, and a "darkhorse national title contender" according to several in the media. Reggie McNeal was considered a Heisman contender after the tremendous improvement between his sophomore and junior seasons.
Open season with a loss to Clemson on the road on a last-second FG. Clemson's kicker who beat us went viral weeks before the game with his football photo where he looked like he was 13.
Hurricane forecasts had our game against Texas State pushed up to a Thursday night (announced on Wednesday night). We eked out an 8-point victory in front of about 40k fans at Kyle Field. If memory serves me correctly, this was the game made infamous by Coach Fran being caught on camera eating Little Debbies mid-game. I wouldn't know, I was at the game.
We barely beat Baylor at home in OT. In fact, Chad Schroeder needed some spectacular catches in the drive that forced OT.
The Colorado game was next. That team absolutely quit on Coach Fran. After DeQawn Mobley fumbles a would-be TD with no defenders in sight, the team never showed signs of life again. Final score was 41-20, but it seemed worse than that.
After beating KSU and OSU to give fans some hope that we'd salvage a decent season, ISU came to town. Up to that point, we'd never lost to the Cyclones. Freshman RB Jorvorskie Lane almost decapitated a LB on a block to set up a long Reggie McNeal gain, hyping the crowd big time. In what would become a trademark Fran move, Lane was rewarding for his great play by being benched for the next two quarters. By the time he came back in, the game was out of hand. Ags lose, 42-14.
TTU blew us out next. Then we followed that with a loss to OU in Norman.
The tu game was our last chance at bowl eligibility. Despite playing better than we had in weeks, we lost 40-29. Reggie McNeal was benched for this game. Fran felt the heat and needed the narrative of "seniors with bad attitudes undermined the coach and made the team underachieve. Coach will be great when the roster is full of 'his' guys."
5-6, no bowl. Sips win MNC in a weird, blooper-reel title game.

2003. I'm not sure we should still be using "Last Corps Trip" after 77-0. I don't know about St. Peter, but after that, I know that I've seen 'em quit.

Whatever year it was that we were winning every game by 20+ points at halftime and then Sherman lost those games in the 2nd half.

1995. It all came crashing down and we've never been the same since.
2022. I hate this season the most

The person that is not willing to fight and die, if need be, for his country has no right to life.

Reggie was hurt during the 2005 Texas game. I think he was hurt quite a bit that year. Ankles too skinny.

But yes... agreed, sadly
2022.
After a huge build up we got a double donkey show.

Can somebody explain why our head coaches over the years/decades made so many boneheaded decisions compared to other teams? Examples like changing schemes that do not fit our roster, favoring a quarterback that is obviously struggling, underutilizing running backs in the red zone, and others ad nauseam. So many bad decisions that make the average viewer say "What the f---?" BAS is real...

1968, my Fish year. The Ags won the SWC the year before and I expected a great season. Nope.
The Fran years. And then the Sumlin after Johnny and Evans left. 77-0 with Fran and the 45-44 game with Sumlin were the two games that summed up the BS in those seasons.
