"There's nothing scarier than a high-ceiling team with a spoiler's mentality. That's A&M in a nutshell in 2019."

Is no one going to put that quote on an A&M logo?

I want this to spread.

Agreed. Hopefully some assistant posts that all over the locker room.

The team needs to have a chip on their shoulder all season!

I don't take that as backhanded at all. I take that as we are a potentially very good team that still has an underdog mentality with something to prove.

that's a very Lethal combination when you have a really good team that is highly motivated.

It's certainly not intended to be backhanded, but I can see why the team and Jimbo are thinking of it as that.

I long for the day we are expected to win .....

We were expected to beat Arkansas State. Expectations mean nothing.

I also like "How bout dem Texas Aggies?!"

I think Surprised But Expected (SBE) will rule this fall.

I'll be surprised if we go 15-0.
But I expect it.

Gotta play the inches. Get an inch. Then take another. Fight for crumbs.

Here we go again!
I feel like this entire football season will have this SBE theme.

Is it expected? Maybe, but I'd be surprised if it isn't.

Gonna suck when we lose week 1

Great: our season is a success as long as we merely spoil someone else's a little...that's awesome. Definitely locker room bulletin board worthy.

Jimbo is gonna throw the Texas State game to lull Clemson into a false sense of security. 4D chess

From an Aggie:

Quote:

that's a back handed "compliment"...spoiler insinuates that you aren't expected to win. I think there was a video postd where jimbo basically said he didnt appreciate that comment.

---

Jimbo is doing his job. Somebody objective sees too many ?s.

Figure we must defeat Bama and go 7-1 in conf. Would need to beat LSU or they lose another besides Bama (normally not a problem, but they get Vandy as the crossover and UF and Aub in BR). Saban has not lost plural conf. games since 2010.

"spoiler" has a negative connotation. The writer could have said: "the schedule makes a deep run unlikely, but they have the talent to knock anyone off on the right day."

F### that, play for all the marbles and take the steak right off their g##damn plate!

Dear lord, we get some love from some guy at ESPN and BAS is cured and maroon koolaid flows in the rivers of the brazos.

Lets just see how the year goes. Since enrolling at TAMU in 2007....i can think of like 3 other years we were this good and were let down. I got no hype left here.

Imma take it one game at a time......although the meltdowns will be epic.

Since enrolling @ TAMU in 1979, I can think of like 13 other years we were this good and were let down. I got no hype left....exception Jackie & Early RC era.
