It's a bunch of bull**** that three big "TheAthletic" writers all were still dumping on A&M and its fans. All they had to say was "A&M's case for the playoffs was better than we thought" and nobody would fault them for that. Instead it's this snarky trash they all put out there. How are we supposed to take them seriously or think that they're not trying to hold us back when we see stuff like this?

Why would any A&M fan pay for The Athletic after this and why would TexAgs partner with them?

i don't understand what their deal is!

Media chodes for both sports and politics couldn't find their own ass even if it was sitting on their own face.

I would pay for it if I enjoyed reading it. I dont let small stuff like this make me take such a stance. That is why this country is in the crap hole it is in -- too many people getting too offended too easily - I mean, dude, get some thicker skin.

These "journalists" will hopefully be eating their words when we beat Bama next season at Kyle.

I mean if everyone would just stop with the boycotting and "im never gonna do this" garbage.. my lord

I think Ubben doesnt work for the athletic

The sad thing is that Wasserman is absolutely wrong on this, but he's too stubborn and hard headed to admit it.

Getting blown out in your conference championship game has always meant you weren't eligible for the playoff, not losing a game in week 2 of the season.

---

In fact, tOSU got blown out in an early season game by a sub-0.500 Va Tech team the year they won it all.
Yet somehow, that didn't get them disqualified.

ND got blown out the day before the committee put them in. That was the bigger farce.

All they had to say was they thought ND had a slightly better resume going in. Ohio St did not do anything to not deserve to be in, and statistically had the best shot at challenging Bama. That would be reasonable.

They could even point out that Ohio St validated the commitee's selection by beating Clemson convincingly.

I just don't understand why they personalize this. We had a reasonable argument. Ok to say it failed to persuade them, but they threw crap in our faces by calling us reasonable. Fookdem!

My thoughts exactly.

A ton of experts who doubted our team changed their minds after our Auburn game, and more changed their minds right after the Tennessee game. If anything, we respected them for being able to swallow some pride and eat crow and actually started liking them (i.e. SDS).

I dunno why they are adamant about dying on that ship. Heck, even so, I don't think our fans would have this much problem with them if they were at least respectful. It's amazing how these sports journalists think it's okay to act like kids.

This is why all other sports let the teams decide who is best and not a committee. It's not illegal to have a dumb opinion. If it were illegal they would have to shut down Texags.

The one that deliberately (everyone knows it was not an accident) put Tech in place of us should lose their voting credential. Very unprofessional and also shows extreme bias. It should actually be very easy for whomever governed this to remove them. It is weird it's from a writer in Ohio. There's a reason.

Ubben, the hobbit I forgot about for the last 8 years until just now

Me too, I think he's been hiding under a pebble

A quick perusal of Wasserman's bio explains his aggressive, spastic stance.

Is arbitrarily changing the rules to let your team play in the conference championship how sports works? And then arbitrarily changing the rules so your best receiver doesn't have to miss a playoff game because he was too undisciplined to social distance?

The previous standard that earlier losses to better teams was abandoned by the media this year. The ACC went 0-6. Ohio State lost to Bama later than we did. We are better than all three. By the previous standard before they changed it to keep us outbid the semis.

Give us #2 you hypocrites.

They're self-serving. I'm more frustrated at Sankey for his silence.

This is typical MSM groupthink. Very few can handle being challenged.

Unfortunately, more coming. They will look at all the departed seniors and dismiss this year as a result of a solid core that peaked at the right moment.

We know there is more to it. But we will have to exceed expectations several times to be taken seriously.

Actually ESPN just released their first 2021 ranking predictions and have us at #6. Frankly was shocked they gave us a nod.

I really wanted someone to respond to him with a gif the Val Kilmer quote to Billy Bob Thorton in Tombstone.

"Oh Johnny, I forgot you were there. You may go now."

---

The best part about this is that I read it in Val Kilmer voice.

Some of the most difficult words for many to say... "I was wrong"

In retrospect, the OSU beatdown of Clemson says more about the ACC than it does about OSU.
The panel did not do a good job of avoiding beatdowns.
