ok.
I will freely admit, last thursday's game led to a massive drinking campaign by Kitso.
BUT, Utah is a top 20 team. A&M was playing on the road, played 20 kids who were either true or RS fish, and the Utes whole season was riding on this game. Sure, we could have started the season with Bowling Green, Western Illinois or Western Kentucky(Diva, i still heart you babe

) but what would that have shown about our team? I'd much rather take 20 point loss on the road to a top 20 team than a 50 point pasting of a school that should be playing the University of South Dakota(W. Ill and W. Ken)
Is A&M going to compete with t.u. or OU for the South title this year? Most likely not. Will we be lucky to beat Tech? sure. BUT, as my esteemed colleague from Waco has insinuated, with our possibly worst team in the past 20 years, we still beat the Teddies by 63ish. A&M has not lost to Baylor in 19 years. I don't see it happening this year, truthfully.
As far starang and his comment about "Armchair QUarterbacks", i'm sorry that you didn't attend a school where the students/alums take a seriously vested interest in the football teams success. As an Aggie, I AM the 12th Man. The louder I yell at home games, the better chance my team has of winning. I along with 30,000 students stood for every home game, signaling to Coach Slocum that i was ready to enter the game if need be. I went to practice yells at Kyle Field every Friday at midnight with the same 30,000 of my closest friends, i took road trips to Dallas, Waco, Boulder, New Orleans to show my support. I stayed after home losses to practice yells to inspire the team to victory the next week. I stayed after wins to chase yell leaders and practice yells to inspire the team to victory the next week. I was there when Bonfire fell in '99 and 12 Aggies were forever lost. I was there a week later when a somber A&M team and student body took on a higher ranked t.u. team and sent them home with a loss. I spent the past 10 years of my life at every home game in College Station. I am NOT an Armchair Quarterback. I am a devoted son of a devout football school. There is a difference. I'm a Fightin Texas Aggie, Give me Room.
As for those that bash A&M or laugh at our downtimes. Get your licks in now, because when this shit gets turned around, we're not going to be content with Big XII South titles like Mack. We're goin for the whole damn enchilada.
77-0 will not be forgotten. Vengence may not be ours this year, next year, the year after, or the year after that, but we will avenge that loss and it will be in spectacular fashion.
"I've seen 'em win and i've seen 'em lose, but i've never seen 'em quit."
10-1 is my goal now.
