I hate to say this, and never thought I would, but if you're going to be paid like professionals… you better expect things like this to happen.

No one should expect this regardless of their pay.

if players are having trouble with internet message boards...

how are they going to handle the crowd at the Disch next month?


The Disch? I went last year, packed house and I've been to funerals that more lively.

This.

Sure they're paid, and yeah this level of play is incredibly frustrating, but for grown adults to react like this is amazing to me. At the end of the day this is entertainment. If you're not entertained and not in a position to change things, turn the tv off. I'll never understand adults that waste their time crying online about something they can't change.

Well, the team needed a shake up and they needed someone to step up. Both has happened this weekend. They've lost their #1 ranking (and that doesn't really matter at this point). Multiple leaders stepped up tonight (and that is what matters).

And it's all thanks to social media posts blasting them!

Maybe the actions of classless individuals set a needed fire under this team?

Ive never yelled anything remotely close towards any athlete but I dont feel sorry for them either

I love how I said this completely ironically and homedude follows it up saying it in earnest. Absolutely hilarious.

I'm not a big donor, and I never will be. I don't believe in it. But when the ags made the finals last year, I booked an airbnb in an attic apartment, drove 900 miles in a 2009 Kia hatchback with poor alignment, stopping in the middle of a cornfield in Kansas to buy SRO tickets, to see something I'd been waiting over 35 years to see. Yeah, we came up just short, and by the time I'd finished driving back home through the night, our coach had left. But I got chills just thinking what it would be like to see the dog pile I've wanted to see more than any other team in any other sport (Rangers were second; it was almost an awesome year). Anyway, I'm just one dude who's seen a lot of Aggie baseball, and I don't ever want my voice to keep them from getting that dog pile someday, and Lord willing I'll be there to see it.

Here here. Very well said. As Milo would have said, put a blue star on that one.

So instead of being a classless individual in person, where you could potentially face consequences, you choose to be one anonymously online? Congrats! Maybe just stop watching if it's so miserable for you and let the rest of us enjoy our entertainment win or lose?

Playing with fire. Killer instinct. Whatever other cornball euphemism... I feel embarrassed for the football-only fans who come over and think they're saying something intelligent. The self-awareness on F16 is higher, sadly, it seems.

Most are just upset about the performance of their favorite team.

Pretty much. And then they lash out here and accuse everyone of it being their fault because apparently whining on message boards is how you REALLY build a championship team. And the reason we haven't won championships it is because not everyone participates in the online gnashing.

100% this. I used to kind of sympathize when these kids weren't making more money than most Aggie graduates. Not anymore.

Agree. And people never change.

The difference is with the internet you get all this stuff. Back in the day, nobody heard these folks.

And this is my big gripe. You do not have to an ahole as a fan, Coach, or player to win.

And yet the kids making money does not excuse the grown men in their mother's basement yelling obscenities at them.

None of us should be looking for an excuse to treat other people like *****

It's just a game - that we choose to take seriously. It's more serious for the players who have their futures riding on the game much more than we do.

But I've never understood or tried to understand the people who take time to send ****ty dm's or comments directly to players.

Hope the players remember decent fans more than the Time Thieves who are just looking to waste their time with nonsense.
