Or come out completely unmotivated and looking like a deflated dead fish a la Georgia a couple of years ago. Sucks being #5 but I hope Jimbo can keep the team hungry to make a big statement.

If they win, then they were

They lose then they weren't

If they don't our coaching staff is failing on the motivational front. I think they'll come to play.

here's to hoping for a chip on their shoulder the size of TEX

Fired up and angry.

It ain't like it used to be.

I love being number 5 with a chip on our shoulder. We have strong leadership on this team. Guys with heart and character. They'll be ready!

Think this is a very different situation than Georgia. Ags are extra motivated to prove the committee was wrong, and Jimbo wants to make a statement to put A&M on the map.

Yes they will.

Imagine grinding all summer and fall only to be placed behind some pansies that squeaked through a 6 game schedule.

Agreed and I hope you're right.

You've seen the tweets. Yes.

Have you not seen the tweets?

That's how Georgia's players were.

Tweets seen, have you not?

I don't think Coach is going to allow this team to cruise into Miami with a total DGAF attitude like Georgia clearly had. Better not. NC is legit and Howell could tear us up with what I've seen of our secondary this year.

This team should have a monstrous chip on its shoulder going in. They just got done dirty and every one of them knows it. Beat the ever loving HELL out of Butterteeth and NC

Tweets baby, tweets! Book it, Dawgs been twittering

This may be the motivation it takes to win it all in the next 3 years. Everyone left on the team will remember. Insane motivation.

UGA was heartbroken that they lost their playoff bid. They were IN. They were IN the top 4. They had Bama on the ropes and then blew it. They were good enough and then proved they weren't good enough. They didn't do everything they could have at the end to earn a spot. They let themselves down.

Our guys were never in. We were disrespected the whole way. Always behind tOSU. We were always on the outside. We did EVERYTHING we could have down the stretch, and were still left on the outside, looking in. The committee let us down because, "we didn't show them enough." So our guys want to go show them. Our guys KNOW that NC and ND played earlier this year and I can pretty well guarantee you that they've checked thee 14 point difference in that game and want to double it now. UGA proved they weren't good enough. Our guys still have stuff to prove.

Those UGA players were skipping practices leading up to the bowl, I don't think you're gonna see that with our guys. A&M isn't "entitled" to anything like UGA, so our guys are going to grind for the next several days.

Jimbos got this...I thought about the UGA thing...but feel JF will have them ready to compete

Way different scenario than Georgia; the players are hearing it from talking heads who are literally laughing at A&M, making fun of them, and utterly disrespecting their talent and accomplishments. It's one thing to be close then drop a heartbreaker, it's another to be relentlessly belittled and bullied by the media.

They. Are. Pissed.

I don't know much, but I know when one team is thrilled to be there and the other team is disappointed to be there... it can spell disaster!

This is when the players (not the coaches) have to step up and kick down the door and say no more... you won't ever disrespect us again! BTLIVINGHO NC and back it up next year by BTHO Auburn, LSU, and Bama... and say HELLO CFP!!!

If this is truly the attitude, then no players will opt out or leave early. Can't wait to see what the players decide!

So if we score more points we'll win, and if we don't then we'll lose.
