Once Elko knew Ol Miss and Alabama were out of it, he pulled back on the gas even it if meant losing as the Auburn game meant nothing

Kept players from getting hurt
Didn't show his hand to tu on secret weapons and plays

I kid

You would never purposely lose a game to make your path to the playoffs harder

Also Owens and Moss are not hurt, they're waiting to beat the ever livin'…

Brilliant!

Yeah and he's been saving Weigman for the sip game.

Yes... and now tu is even more confident they will whoop us. the perfect trap

This Aggie only prefers to beat tu first and foremost……anything after that is gravy. Elko knows this game is all that matters at this point.

He knows....not sure the players 'really' know nor care ... esp what has been shown on the def side of the ball.

Too many trxfrs in the secondary to even have a clue what this really means (esp if not from Tx).

More like playing Connect 4 with logic like that

Connect 4 is solved. Might as well play Tic-tac-toe.

The sooner this mentality dies, the sooner we'll evolve as a program.

If you work to run with and take down the best, then beating tu will take care of itself.

They aren't a F'n measuring stick.
They're just another team that's in the way.

As an Aggie, tu will never be just "another team." My time as an Aggie in the 90s taught me that. We lost our recruiting advantage and everything will be riding on this game year in and year out.

I see what you are saying as you are alluding to a "killer mentality" which we need to some how acquire.

I'm class of 99
My brother is class of 90

I'm well aware of what tu means.

But this bull**** about "just beat tu and the rest doesn't matter" is wildly short sighted, and we need to grow up.
We don't deserve a seat at any big boy, national scale table as long as that narrow minded mentality continues

National relevance has a far greater reach than 90 miles

and the 2+score deficit at halftime will be just him setting them up for an even more heartbreaking defeat

Its a neurotic mental illness that controls the majority of Aggies, and then they wonder why 1939 was the last National Championship.

nailed it. Our most substantial growth has been these past dozen years operating away from that twisted, neurotic codependent relationship. If we'd only ever met them in bowl game match-ups, I'd have been happy.
