...because we come out completely flat and spot the other team 21 unanswered points in the first quarter and decide to play the final 3 quarters, but come up a couple points short.

Same as last year!

Oh how I miss football season. Just when I think my mental health is not up for this again, I have started convincing myself that the schedule sets up nicely for this team to win every game. Here we go. But FYI.......I think 11 yards might be optimistic.

Hope I don't get banned for this…but this post proves everything is right and good in the world. It's great to be back. Looking forward to embarrassing ourselves.

Because this is exactly what Texas A&M does.


We are the Mona Lisa of 8-4. Generations of Aggies have been baptized not in Kyle Field traditions, but in the sacred art of turning winnable games into "character-building" losses. It's in our DNA. The Aggie ring, the 12th Man, and dropping a baffling early season home game to an opponent your uncle insists "we should beat by 40."

UTSA has been circling this one on the calendar like it's the Super Bowl. Their players will run out of the tunnel wide-eyed, staring at our Midnight Yell section, and then realize, "Oh wait… this is the same A&M that managed to invent Johnny Manziel, beat Alabama, win the HEISMAN, and a year later they still finished in the Chick-fil-A Bowl." Suddenly they're playing with house money.

We'll help them along, too. Expect:
  • A&M to run the ball into the line 27 times for a total gain of 11 yards.
  • At least one field goal attempt that hits a yell leader.
  • A defense that alternates between three straight three-and-outs and then giving up a 75-yard touchdown to a guy named Bubba whose other scholarship offer was from Incarnate Word.
History tells us this is how Aggie football operates. The Junction Boys sweated out two-a-days so that their grandsons could fumble on 3rd and 1 against UTSA. The Wrecking Crew became the "Lightly Inconveniencing Committee." Every era of Aggie football has been marked by greatness flirted with, and mediocrity embraced like an old friend.

So why do we lose to UTSA? Because for Texas A&M, 8-4 is a lifestyle, not a record. And this Saturday, the Roadrunners are just the next chapter in our tradition of being historically, reliably, painfully above average.


Maybe next year....but, probably not.

So tell me why we lose to Utah State next week!!!

I agree with the OP's sentiment but we're not losing to UTSA. We will go 8-4 on the year though, because that is indeed what we do.

Raptor "why we lose" posts used to have outrageous and silly reasons why we lose the game. This one just feels like a realistic take on the situation.

Notre Dame v Miami and LSU v Clemson are both going to be much more enjoyable to watch in that timeslot. The Aggie game might be 3rd on my list for that window.

Or the 1994 SMU game when we blew a perfect season (no bowl that year due to probation).

I love these posts, however, I am convinced that Raptors alter ego writes them.

Great read, but the involuntary wince at the "run the ball 27 times into the line for 11 yards" part hurt.
