We have played like crap and our players start showboating when they make a stop.

Terrible.

Earned what? To act like a fool Hyena in public. This isn't illiterate, over egotistical pro football!!

If it's within the rules, they've certainly earned it. Losers like you sitting at home watching them succeed and whine about it doesn't really change that.

If we could celebrate and still be ready for the next play, fine:

Clearly that is not the case.

I'll bet you didn't know those two guys that celebrated both went on to have multi year nfl careers. Its hard to keep playing when everyone around you quit, but that pride took both of them a long way

We have showboated since the 80's.


I personally would like to see less of it. I like how our offense often hands the ball to the ref.

I am fine with it for everyone but our DBs. They make 1 play a year.
It's just today's football, more me than team.

Stoops cold have put a 100 on us at that game I remember the OU running back was trying to lay down on about the 15 yard line and we had a fish fall on him and then did a dance. If I had been Stoops I would of run at him the next play,I would have run for the TD and then gone for two.

Thanks for nothing Fran.

I always appreciated the way Earl Campbell just placed the ball on the ground in the end zone. Hell our receivers signal a first down whenever they catch the ball even when they are yards short of the first. It's all about them. The lumbering offensive lineman never call for the spotlight and without them not much is going to happen.

Playing for the cameras and stats or playing for the team????

The only one I really don't like is the first down signal… especially when you're actually 4 yards short I much prefer the Reed style of making his way back while looking at the sideline for the next thing.

Just because you are miserable doesn't mean the players have to be. The players should absolutely celebrate good plays.

Disagree.

Not showboating failed for 25-years.

JFF showboated and people cried like a ****.

More showboat.

The secret to winning is doing the opposite of what A&M done for past quarter century.

JFF was a genius at the college level. That was why he won. Not because he showboated. He was terrible in the NFL because his skills did not translate well. Showboating in the NFL when you aren't doing that well will just make people draw a target on your forehead which is probably what happened.

I don't understand some of it either (forget the 'why' are they even doing it, but some of the gestures). There's the mime drawing of a box w 2 thumbs down (saw it in multiple games yest afternoon, but think Scooby did it early in our game). There's the mustache wipe the cocaine away from under my nose. Will L was showing his stomach or junk on a late play in the pass breakup.

Miami was doing some kind of wave gesture in front of USF players to ensure they were agitating them.

Yup, I'm old Ag now, but I'm ok with kids having fun. Just think it's overdone on every single play on TV (limit it to a great play, a 3rd/4th down stop, etc.). If Elko isn't saying anything, then I guess that must be part of the NIL package to act as you want clause.

It was 77-0 mid way through the third quarter, and they started a rolling clock. Incomplete pass? Clock still rolling. Never been so embarrassed for our football program.

There is a time and place for everything. Our players are failing to get that. They need to learn to read the room.

Win something matters a whit and then celebrate. The world will appreciate and congratulate you. You would have earned it.

Scoring a point or two over a basement dweller like BGSU and you celebrate just makes you look bad as if you have abysmally low standards.

BGSU are celebrating today because they gave us a big scare. If we celebrate that we beat BGSU, it makes us look bad.

I remember that, it was our worst moment as an Aggie FB fan.
