So Calzada was just ahead of his time?

A smart AD and coach would put out a PR statement volunteering to take A&Ms place in the bowl because they ain't scared along with Dear Recruits if you have buyers remorse come play with manly men.

What a ****ing sad joke this has become.

wut?

I think this was an excuse to get out of a game that the athletic department probably thought was a no-win situation. It's still disappointing because I wanted to see the backups play. Bost deserved a chance to start.

Absolutely ridiculous

Pull out game weak, that's some big ass *****

"It is heartbreaking for our players, coaches, staff and fans that we are not able to play in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl," Texas A&M Director of Athletics Ross Bjork said. "Post-season football is the pinnacle of the season and when the opportunity is lost, it hurts on many levels. As we have learned in the last 21 months of this health challenge, the well-being and safety of our student-athletes is paramount. Our players poured their heart and soul into this season and we appreciate their dedication as Aggies. Aggie football is on track for long-term success and we know that the best is yet to come."

That's a dumb ass statement. What's going to happen in September if multiple test positive?

Would anyone even know if they had it if we were not testing?

Never buy bowl game tickets until the day of. Hope that helps

A week & 2 days away. Freaking stupid

Sucks for WF that A&M used this as an excuse to not play the game.

---

I don't understand the obsession with the practices. The players can't even meet in person currently and once we are past that, and the bowl season is winding down what the heck is the purpose of additional practices?

Do we know how many players tested positive? If not, something smells a little funny.

Thanks Brandon.

We're not playing because we're scared to run our backups backups out there and get beat by 5 scores.

---

That would be a no.

It's also a crappy thing to do to our opponent. I hope they get a decent replacement.

So how can an NFL guy test positive on Monday and play on Sunday, but we can't play a game that's still 9 days out?

The money must not add up somewhere

I think we're going to finish ranked at number 25 on all of the final polls.

If there were no opt outs and calzada was still around, this game would be played and we wouldn't be the laughing stock of the conference and college football right now.

I'm trying to muster up some outrage....


Nah. Can't get there.


DGAS if the bowl game is played or not.

Remember, with this recruiting class we are on the national map. Therefore we must always adhere to our woke dark master this day forward.

This would be very A&M for the Horns to take that bowl

They are not going to find a replacement 9 days out.

What's the word on players actually "sick" vs "positive"?

Let's have a discussion about the stupid test, to begin with. The inventor [EDIT NAME] (K. Mullis) says that it's irrelevant but it continues to be used to falsely identify COVID.

From the inventor's own mouth

I think that website gave my phone COVID, is there a test for that?

Do we keep extra practices?

Zero chance. They're shut down on that until spring now.

Wow.

Better safe than sorry.

Really? Football is more dangerous as a sport then Covid is to a football player.

Username checks out!

Disappointed in A&M's decision.

All these players are going to go live it up now. Haha.

You should be good if you got the jab.
[EDIT] Also, if you didn't allow a ton of ads, you wouldn't be affected by that website. Try to use Linux to start with.

Out of these 42 players, how many will be in a night club before the gator bowl is played.

Western Kentucky should step up and take A&M's place. Only one other school will be able to win two postseason games in the same season.

Just saw an interview with someone from Baylor regarding Covid on KWTX. They were asked how is testing handled and they said if the athlete is vaccinated there's no test unless they're symptomatic

I'd say almost all of them

What a bunch of crap.

Stupid. Can't play because guys got the sniffles and have to quarantine for it. We should be at the point now to where if you're sick then don't play, but if you aren't sick then play. This 10 day quarantine stuff for exposure and the sniffles is dumb.
