Get behind our teams win or lose. This one hurts, but we are just getting started.

When you take a step back from the BS, and look at it objectively there's only about 3 kinds of people who use that acronym.

1) People who use it jokingly
2) Trolls
3) Actual self deprecating losers with low self esteem.

I'll joke about it from time to time, but losing a game and crying about it is embarrasing. I stay away from people like that.

I've been watching Aggie Football for decades, and I love it. Some people just can't get over their own childish emotions, and it's embarrasing to watch.

I've never had it. More like frustration in not fulfilling our potential. Aggie football will always be my sports passion. Really dont follow much else except the Masters, Opens, PGA championship.

There's a lot of #3 around here
Give me the guy who shoots for excellence and fails over the guy who shoots for mediocrity and succeeds.

BAS is what makes us the butt of a lot of jokes. WE need to get rid of it.

Eh, you grow up and deal with real responsibilities and trials of life that give you perspective not to let things you can't control get to you. Still though, sports matter, and when you win it's great and when you lose it sucks. I think BAS is a sense that A&M won't ever get there. I disagree with that position, and think we've taken very tangible steps to change the culture, and the results are starting to show themselves.

People are behind the team, it's the team not winning that's the problem.

What would NOT writing checks to the 12th man do?

Why? These players get paid a LOT of money. They are paid to perform and when they don't, they need to be called out. No different than the coaches now.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say I've heard this every year since I registered as AGinHI in '01.

What does this even mean? The season is over, so by definition we are not "just getting started."

I was told we lost the Texas game so we could perform in the playoffs. We won neither and were thoroughly embarrassed in both. If that isn't BAS fuel, I don't know what is.

My problem with what you wrote is you are taking minimal responsibility for why it is what it is. I'd rather a reasonable dialog on what we are seeing than calling people two percenters.

Read this and see if what Elko is saying fits your perception.

Team sure seemed to play w BAS t"vs Miami and even vs tu for 2 yrs now (esp OL, Reed, kicker, run defense)…so please go talk to them that it's a cop out and why aren't they listening to coach as the past is the past and we only look forward.

Defense did more then enough to win the game. Offense was bush league trash.

Blah blah blah.

We are all behind the team. Why can't we score a touchdown in our own house in the biggest game ever?

BAS comes from chronic inconsistency in our team. It's been there across multiple coaches for generations. I don't know if we need an exorcist or if it's in the water (it's pretty ****ty water) or what, but it's in deep.
No, I don't care what CNN or Miss NOW said this time

Yeah, I don't think most of these posters even have a clue what BAS is and why it exists. But boy they sure like to yap on the board criticizing others.
