Look man, idk how me saying that is a D bag, but if you took it that my bad. But you certainly went all out in your reaction,

If we cared about any trophy but the NC as being worth truly bragging about, we'd have gone back to the Big 12 a long time ago.

Don't be a poosy and run from your ****** baggery. It's clearly who you are. Be a man and embrace it.

Whatever man, I tried to de-escalate and said I'm sorry if you took it as an insult, you wanna continue to be that way it's your choice, I'm not gonna play this game of name calling you continue to take part in, not becoming of an Aggie with integrity.

I don't know any real Ags who are walking away from this season feeling good. Everyone seems to like Elko alright but the overall sentiment is that the best course of action is to temper expectations.
This is not a national championship caliber program.

Then you don't know many "Real Ags". Real Ags, like most real people, can be disappointed with the outcome of the last two games, but feel good about the season as a whole. It was a fun ride that ended poorly. But this is why the 24-hour rule was created. Be mad for 24 hours, then move on with your life and don't dwell on it.

Temper expectations? OK, Mr. Hyman.

And that last statement is more of the same BS. We didn't win this year, but it's an indictment of how the last two games went and who's to blame for that. It's not an indictment of the entire program. To say that ignores where we were and where we are now, and where we seem to be headed.

When you have your so called best season in nearly 30 years.

And we still can't even beat Texas and still can't even make the SEC title game or win anything of meaning.

Yeah it was big thud.

Still can't win anything of meaning and fall flat on the big stage.

It absolutely was the best season in 30 years. Beating the sips isn't the ultimate goal in any case.

We did thud in the playoff game, but we were in the playoff game, in year 2 of a new coach.

Year one, we were on a great run, then died at the end. Year two, we made the playoffs, but lost. Still an upward trend.

But you be miserable about it if you want.

2012 was better so disagree on it being the best season in 30 years

What did we win this year?
What trophy did we put in the trophy case?
Are we putting a banner up for making playoff and losing a 1st round home game?

Really telling where we are as a program when as you said" absolutely best season in 30 years" and we win absolutely nothing and strengthen the national narrative on Texas A&M football.

Finished 2012 #5 in the country. Won Cotton bowl
Finished 2020 #4 in the country. Won Orange bowl

Will we may finish this year 9 or 10. How is that better?

I think we should abandon football.

I promise you the AD and TMF are thinking about it.

I was in Baton Rouge for the game this year and it was a hell of a lot better feeling than 8-4. Now, I recognize next year's schedule looks far more difficult than this year, but I'm going to enjoy this year and just have confidence Elko can figure out next year.

In 2023 the Ags were underperforming at an unprecedented level and paid record amount of money to make Jimbo go away

Good things that have happened since Elko came to town
Broke the road losing streak
Broke the Baton Rouge losing streak
Found some great contributors through the portal

Playing the exact same schedule with the home and away flipped
Improved to 11-2 and did not lose to an unranked team

Made the playoffs

It's going to be a long off season
But The off season is always long

Merry Christmas to all

We did a lot of good things and hopefully made some headway toward maintaining a high level of competitiveness where we will compete and hopefully win a National Championship(s).

HOWEVER, IF YOU AIN'T FIRST, THEN YOU'RE LAST.

The goal is to win it all and we didn't.

I'm not willing to SETTLE for second, third, fourth....

Feels worse. We got to 11-2 and yet have nothing to show for it. Didn't beat sip. Got embarrassed at CFP. Confirmed every single accusation about our schedule.

Nah- this season ending the way it did exposed what many feared all along. This was an above average team beating up on the bottom half of a league that ran into a buzz saw.

The pumpers calling this the "best season ever" surely don't actually believe that. Ags are going to finish outside the top 10. And unless we get a serious upgrade at QB, you know in your heart this team isn't winning a natty.

I want to see your preseason posts stating that if we go 11-1 in the regular season you think it's the same as going 8-4.

Written like someone who needs to ditch the maroon blinders.

No one wants to see the outcome we had but anyone who watched the last two games and comes away thinking "wasn't that great" should be ignored when it comes to football.

---

What was your preseason prediction?

Did you have us beating Texas and winning a playoff game? If not, then time to shut the **** up.

---

No, but I was hoping we would not, once again, fail on the national stage.

What stage were we on during the 11-0 streak?

The national one.... and then we choked. Kinda his point.

It feels exactly like 8-5.

The two games at the end of the season were as bad as anything I've watched in 40 years.

Elko got paid, Klein got his job, Reed was MIA and the Aggie FB fanbase got screwed again.

But, on a national stage, we went 11-0. When was the last time that happened? Early 90s? Why is there no in-between? We either win it all or we choked? Stupid take.

On a national stage, most claimed we were not legit. Most of the outlets, podcasts, national talking heads said this. Hell, even the committee chair said we were not that good and they ignored their own metrics to hammer us.

Aggies praised our 11-0 start. Not shocking. Fans are that way. But nationally, they were in a wait and see mode.

And we showed them.

And with the exact same schedule they would have been praising Texas and had sip at #1. Ole Miss, Indiana, and Oregon did no more than we did in the regular season and their schedules were never mentioned despite being easier than ours. They all got the benefit of a bye week or a creampuff warm up game. Media means nothing.
