Way too much investment in the game for people. The fans could look ahead to 3034 when we play on Mars and it wouldn't matter one bit.

We were tied at 20 at half time at SC and lost our best player in the first drive of the game. We played one bad half and lost to a decent 3 loss SC team. That is our only conference loss.

If we play like we are capable of for 3 more games we will beat Auburn, crush tu and take down our nemesis Alabama in the SEC Title game. The win over Texas will result in the Aggies winning the SEC and hosting the 2nd place Tide for the automatic bid. We will be ranked higher than many of you expect. If the Tide loses it will be Georgia, which is the easier game at this point.

Please for the love of God stop with this "don't focus on the next opponent" garbage. We, as fans, have ZERO effect on the players' ability to prepare for Auburn. Thinking really hard about Auburn doesn't make a difference.

We can talk about whoever the f we want. Our thoughts don't matter.

Good point, I'm currently focusing on our SEC champ game opponent.

Big sneezy, write another letter to the team

Says the guy that posts about Texas daily on the SEC Rant forums.

Nothing could be more Aggie than going out and stepping on our dicks against Auburn, then beating Texas, just to see them in the playoffs and us in the weedeater bowl.

Wow, great summary of the microcosm of The Zoo wrapped up nicely in one thread. Just missing EJ talk. There I said. Summary, complete!

Obsessions are mental health issues…

You're right, I'm sure fan's thoughts on the zoo affect the focus of the team. Lets just talk about today's practice and how we can become better fans at fan practice today for Auburn....what time again is fan practice today?

I'm sure the reason we lose this week is because a bunch of internet posters are discussing next weeks rivalry…

Yessir, just like A&M vs arkansas in 1975. One game at a time.

So how "sick" is our fan base?

Let's look back a bit. Why'd we lose to ND?

I agree it's silly to say it's a trap for posters, but I also see the point that it's not worth talking about the Texas game until after we beat Auburn. If we don't beat Auburn then all the Texas talk is worthless

Can everyone just stop with Texas already?


Beat Auburn. Win the next game.

I've even fallen into the trap. But it's a trap.


Beat Auburn. Win THIS Saturday!


Hold on the Texas threads people.

Mike Elko was asked about the difficulty of keeping his team focused on Auburn with the November 30th rivalry game vs Texas just around the corner:

Honestly if we dont overlook Auburn then I see the game going as
Ags- 40
Auburn - 17

If Auburn is overlooked i see it going as
Ags- 35
Auburn - 21

Sorry I dont see Auburn is any sort of a threat.

Right now I dont think Auburn, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Mississippi State are any threat to the entire top half of the standings.

Honest mistake….but pretty damn funny, given the timing and context

We played two bad halves. In the first half our defense gave up 20 points in a row. In the second half it gave up 24 points in a row.
