I met my local redass aggy friend for some humble pie this week. He proceeded to tell me how excited he was that they were able to make the playoffs for the first time since the 1940's. (continued below)
When I asked him for clarification, he said that there was a tournament playoff format in college football in the 1940's before the bowl system, and that A&M had participated in said tournament to crown a national champion in the 1940's. Naturally, this sent me to the interwebs to confirm that of course he is an idoit, but there is somehow some more mythical aggie lore circulating around the echo chamber of college station about this. He then went on to tell me how excited he is for next year because he knows that Holman Wiggins is going to be a huge upgrade over Klein because he was at Bama. He also went on to tell me that Reed is going to be in the Heisman conversation next season because he will be a 3 year starter, and that Elko is going to have the defense playing like maniacs next year with a bunch of crazy portal additions. He is already locked and loaded on the front seat of the rollercoaster and it is going to be so fun to watch.
