C’mon, man…that’s not banner-worthy.

Now….a cup?  Yeah, I could see it on a cup

Well they did score 3 points, right? That's a goddamn aggy title right there. Oh it will plastered all over their stadium.

Reading between the lines, their panic meter on the offense is going up. A whole lot of Looch wish casting that Wiggins is going to be a better OC than Klein. He didn’t discuss offensive personnel at all, just they need to improve at OC.

He also went on a couple portal Moneyball diatribes, so I’m not sure their NIL is where they want to be.

Given the totality of their personnel losses heading into the portal period, plus what they’ve spent on this 2026 class, there’s almost no way they have enough to spend in the portal for what it would take to reload. The money guys are not stupid for ATM and Elko isn’t either. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re telling themselves that they’ll develop the youth, be smart and picky in the portal and regroup with an 8-4 season that catapults them back to the playoffs in 2027. 

They were gifted an unbelievable schedule this year. They get the two gifts in South Bend with the dropped XP and the flagrant holding no-call.  Then, they face Auburn, Florida, Arkansas, and LSU all right in the midst of structural program collapse. Missouri with a 3rd string true freshman QB and whatever the fuck was going on with South Carolina’s program this year. Just insane shit where opponents were committing suicide in front of them at every turn.

Next year, no way that happens. The 2026 schedule and their personnel losses guarantee nothing regarding 8-4 or better but they think that’s their absolute floor.

On TexAgs the majority opinion (vast majority) is that they played like champions prior to Elko's raise and, with remarkable timing, they failed to play like the champions they are against USCe, t.u. (mediocre team), and Miami.

Maybe the biggest example of what constant self-congratulatory narcissism means with Aggies is their aversion to the word lose. It's not just games they won't use the word (outscored, instead), but they refer to losing efforts as underachieving. The notion here is that with only a little more passion (displayed for all to see) or a little less interference from the t.u. controlled referee establishment or disappointing coaching performance, they would be revealed as the champions they already are.

The offense wasn't stopped. Klein had his mind elsewhere and didn't care. That's largely the reason Reed "regressed" as the season proceeded and melted down against good competition. Further, with their huge talent advantage (in their heads), they should be in the title hunt every year.

You take over coaching at Texas, Notre Dame, tOSU, Alabama, or USC, you expect that expectation and perception. There is truth in it. At A&M, they don't recognize that they're still Michigan State or maybe Iowa. Because of the Aggie attitude, they end up making crazy deals with coaches. Why else would a promising or established coach go there?

And cannot stand the notion that nobody really gives a shit about them unless they pay attention. Then people learn what a weird place that is.

* Because no coach wants to stay at A&M. You must always worry that they will flee the shit storm that you've created. 

This.  The extension is dumb in a vacuum, but look at the coaching carousel going on.  Hard to tell if it was actually the wrong choice for them or not without being a prophet.  They could have ended up a lot worse off.

What has struck me is that refuse to blame anything on Reed. I believe he had 8 turnovers in the South Carolina, Texas, and Miami games. 
 

Looch was especially vague. “He needs to run more with the rushing attack isn’t there… Needs to be earlier on the throw for the interception in the end zone.”

No Reed needs to be replaced, or they should look at a transfer QB. This a is a program that sent out Heisman marketing materials on Reed before the Texas game. They’re delusional in all things, but their investment in Reed seems like a giant blind spot even for them. Methinks when Elko got his extension, they re-upped with Reed and now they’re stuck with him financially.

Bobby mentioned on YouTube this morning that Reed is asking for a very, very high NIL number for 2026.

I'd tell him to kick rocks. There are probably 5 QBs already in the portal I would take over Reed in a heartbeat.

Everyone made all of this noise about his improvement this year, but I saw the same exact guy as last year. He was a better passer inside of 15 yards, and definitely more decisive, but under pressure he reverted to his mean and just tossed up errant throws for interceptions after his first read was taken away.

I really appreciate the posts here. Got to say you give @RomaVictaa bone and it's wonderful. Many others too. I'm on record pre-season saying Reed was a terrible QB. I am also on record calling for Arch to be benched at times. Arch seemed to figure out feet don't catch balls.

aggie hires a 2 year HC from Duke and expects greatness? Well, that's Gary Owens funny. Of course he has no tree or ability to get top guys.

I still say Flood can be upgraded. Sark's recent hires seem top notch.

For two years in a row we've kept aggy out of the SEC championship. Wisner is balls out on them. aggie is going to have a really bad next year. Our schedule is no joke either.

Anyway, thanks to all of you that give us the aggie tears of failure.
