I'm sure your post gave you goosebumps as you wrote it...it did not have them same impact on everyone else

I fully expect to turn on the pregame show and listen to everyone predict a 34-14 ish Aggie win. They always do that before we play a night road game and walk out of the first quarter down 2 touchdowns.

This is a playoff game and should be treated as such.

Just doing my part.

I'm sure Elko tries every week to motivate the guys. But there is so much as a coach you can do. It's up to the players. You know he tried extra hard the second after the LSU game saying USC will be the hardest game we will have to play.

For clarity, I'm a big Elko fan. Couldn't be more happy with the decision. It won't be as a result of his lack of trying.

He's right.

We must win out.

Might start on Sat but will end one week later. Happy Thanks giving

Got a bad first round draw with a night game on the road in a hostile environment, but it is win or go home.

I am certain that our staff is stressing this to the team, and they will be ready to play. No more false starts and deer in the headlights looks. Time to earn that money.

This is why you play the games. Gig Em.

I mean…if we lose on Saturday, we're still gonna play on 11/30. The season isn't over if we get beat.

Come back and post this after we win against Auburn.

Please stay away from our coaching staff. Thank you.

(It says "playoff")

The Fightin' Texas Aggies are going in to the playoffs…
- down to their 3rd and 4th RBs, which their running game is/was the strength of the team
- with 2 QBs, who both have noticeable weaknesses
- with no playmakers at WR who have step forward
- significant issue with setting the edges on defense to stop the run, or passes in flats to RBs or TEs
- tackling issues that show up from time to time
- too many untimely penalties
- special teams, kicking, punting, and a solid return man in Bussey may win us a few tight playoff games. (One could say our hopes are pinned on a true freshman.)

BTHO everyone that you can with that Fightin' Texas Aggie spirit… The Spirit of Aggieland!!! I'll be YELLING as loud as I can!!! GIG'EM!!! WHOOP!!!

We start off on Josh Pate's upset alert.

What's the point of a message board then? I agree with OP. This is practically a playoff game.

By the way, the jerk store called and they're running out of YOU.

He'll get in line behind you.

On the bright side it's probably been 50 years since all we had to do in late November was win out to get a championship

"By the way, the jerk store called and they're running out of YOU."

Great use of Seinfeld here Jon B
