Giving them our money year after year after year and getting nothing but mediocrity and embarrassment isn't working anymore

They depend on you being too afraid of being a called a bad Aggie to actually hold them accountable and so they can do things like hire unproven OC and DC with zero real experience at this level. That is the sort of bush league thing Sam Houston State does because they have to. Not a SEC program that supposedly wants to win at the highest level!

The mediocrity and embarrassment will never end until they are finally afraid that you won't just obediently buy the tickets and merch every year no matter how much they suck.

You are correct. Good luck to you sir! Our culture of support is the nemesis. Many will disagree. Real ones know.

We could go winless in a season and there will still be 100k in the stands.

I'm not so sure. During the Gene Stalling lean days I remember buying a knot hole ticket and taking my choice of 50 Yard line seats.

Tickets should be much more affordable for the rest of the season for sure.

Until there's a top to bottom restructuring of this athletic department and everything surrounding it, we won't have a truly successful season. It starts with low hanging fruit like the yell leaders.

Break up the corps block. Wasn't there in the seventies and much better for everyone.

I think old ct's still make up a lot of the decision makers. We have stunk at sports for several generations and I think this is why.

Did they hide the Corps from you when you visited A&M? If it so offends you perhaps you should have gone somewhere else.

The truth is I had very little interaction with the corps while at A&M, spent most of my time on the Northside. They were only about ten percent then and now they are five percent. Watching on TV now you would think they are much more.

I generally only know the corps for embarrassing memes now. Fortunately during the saber incident I was taking the EIT in Duncan. If I had seen it in person I would have a much lower opinion.

No point watching until we see some changes. Reed has to go.

Tickets were dirt cheap for this game. Cheapest I've seen in years for a conference game.

lol wtf are you even talking about. We get it, you think the corps is embarrassing. Get over it.

This is about football and the management of our program, of which the corps has no influence.

We suck because our head coach doesn't have the balls to bench a player when he plays poorly. It's pretty simple.

Which hires were mistakes?!

I don't blame the decision makers. We threw lots of money at several hires that made sense at the time. The only one that didn't might have been Sherman.

It just always comes up sour.

I was surprised to see so many fans streaming towards the exits in mid-Q4. Maybe it's not a thing anymore, but I can remember as a student staying to the end and then doing something (a yell or song, I can't remember) in support of the team, even though they lost. But that's been nearly 50 years, so........

Money is one thing. And there are enough oil rich Former Students who will throw their green into this cash furnace.

But attendance is another. And i have seen my share of empties at Kyle. It just takes a couple of seasons.

We just won 11. By mid October, Tickle Me Elko will have 10-20k empty seats at Kyle. We arent as special as we claim.

apples to oranges.

FrankenKyle Palace is a social scene, not a serious sporting event. There are people so blindly into being seen and keeping up with the Richardsons that the product on the field is an afterthought.

The sooner you learn to be apathetic to Aggie football the better your mental health. Graduated in '99 and have seen highs and lows for the football program. I always want them to win and go to games every year including away games. If you have the mindset that Aggie football is elite and should win every game you will always be disappointed. Have fun, enjoy the game, pre/post game bars. Since I'm not writing million dollar checks I can't have a realistic expectation that my opinion matters or that I even exist to A&M football decisions. Hopefully Elko rights the ship. I personally think Reed is the majority of the problem. Until a 70% passer who's a dawg comes along we'll always be 8-9 wins/year. Reed is more concerned on too told and appears lads than football. We have no true QB coach or offensive minded head coach or OC for that matter. Have fun and enjoy the fall weekends.

We are a large collection of good Ol' boys who enjoy each other's company. That permits the BMAs to continue their long line of very bad decisions. We will never call them on it because we are going to show up no matter how bad the team is. Recall we once kissed our dates when we made a first down. Nothing will ever change but we will enjoy our visits.

A fan revolt won't work.
Why? We have too many stupid "fans". 1) There are the stupid BMAs. Most of them acquired their wealth in the oil/gas biz. You need luck, attitude, and a good geologist not smarts. And they've been making the worst fb decisions since A&M played with leather helmets. 2) The stupid A&M football social club fans. They go for the social scene with fb in the background. This is young and old. The older ones mostly gab with their season ticket neighbors about their summer trip to Italy, grandkids, etc. 3) There's the senior old coot fan (my demographic). Their fb knowledge stopped progressing during the RC era. 4) There's the absurdly hyper-loyal stupid fans. Oh well we'll get them next time. We're going to turn it around. These fans hate reality and any slight criticism of the gameplay. They can't defend the indefensible so the name call with insults like bleeders or pot bangers.
This stupid fan base has been enough to keep stands mostly full and the AD in the black. You would need Musk type wealth to change this perpetual mediocrity machine. EOR

The revolt begins with Arkansas

Do

Not

Go

Your complacency and fear of being called a bad Aggie is what fuels this engine of endless mediocrity.

Nothing changes until they are AFRAID of losing their jobs because you stop letting them exploit your loyalty
