Legitimately this season is our best chance in over 20 years to make a splash in college football and very likely make it to the CF Playoffs. Our schedule is the best you could hope for, we have a fairly senior team... it has all lined up.

Now the season will likely be cancelled... and the future does not look as great as this season.

Baseball this season our team also looked to have it... and now that chance was taken away...

More baseball look at the team we had when we lost to TCU in a crazy close game... that team was the best team in college baseball that season but still came up just shot.

More football. We go undefeated in the 90s but wait we are on probation...

I feel Aggie sports may just be cursed!

Ah yes, the quarterly "are aggie sports cursed thread." The timing is impeccable... and by that I mean completely peccable.

Dude, very likely to make it to the playoffs? Did they take bama, LSU, and auburn off our schedule?

Every off-season part of the fan base builds us up from what we are to what they'd like us to be. There are few indications this will be anything other than another year when we start 5-0 or 4-1 and end up 9-4 or 8-5. We have the on-paper softest 6-game opening schedule I've seen since we left the SWC, but in our hearts of darkness we all know if the season gets played and we start off humming along at 4-0, Mike Leach is going to be lying in wait in Starkville come the 5th week of the season.

Mike Leach owns A&M like Sigfried owns Roy. 8-2 all-time, two different 4-game win streaks. He'd trade his left nut for that game to happen.

I guess we weren't watching the same team. I saw another good-pitch, no-hit, Childress squad that was head for a top half SEC finish, a #2 seed, and a 3-4 game post-season. Pretty much our normal year.

I see no reason we shouldn't claim at least a share of the natty if the season does not get played.

I've been putting a curse on Aggie football once a month since the late nineties.
Was that wrong? Should I not have been doing that? Do you want me to stop?

Don't worry, with Childress still leading the team the kung flu is the least of our worries

I wouldn't say football was likely to make the playoffs. Might have been in the hunt.

Baseball absolutely was going nowhere. Look at the man's track record.

Yes. Fish Pond was completed just after A&M won their last National Championship in 1939. I am thinking that is the source of the curse.

If we qualify for the CFP it's likely due to either other conferences bowing out and other teams being down players. To do it in a regular year we have to win all but one game. I'll offer that might be in reach but is a significant stretch from last year even with the schedule being significantly easier.

The idea that we always overproject our grandest fantasies onto the team and then blame them for relatively modest shortcomings isn't a curse. It's just stupid.

But if superstition soothes your dumb...go for it.

Yes. The Chinese lab released Coronavirus in order to curse Aggie athletics.

We have thought we had real chance before and didn't.
Hurricane cost us a national championship most likely...much better chance that year than this year.
A little too much hype getting put into this season.

Yes, absolutely.

It doesn't help that Aggies can be dumbasses about running their athletic department.

Yes. Think about it, we were an all male military academy and our last Natty came before WW2.

You should be worried when our next one comes (if it does).

This was our year. Finally.

Then the politicians got involved and effed it all up DoD their own personal agendas.

If Aggie sports are cursed it is because of two positions.
The president at the time and the individual coach. Pat Henry is a classic example of true skill and leadership. In recent years we may have a few that could have done it but like Billy G. They left. The current BB coach has the skill but few others have it in my opinion. Fisher may have it but with this recent Mond antic I have lost confidence in him as a leader. In order to have champions we need champion coaches and presidents. The last good president we had was Gates and prior to him it was Rudder.
