This is a quality melt on SEC Rant. 

https://www.secrant.com/rant/texas-a-m-sports/glad-this-season-is-over/99871806/

"Honestly I'm probably going to sit 2022 and 2023 out as well. If there was a vaccine against giving a shite about A&M athletics I would take triple the dosage. Please either anchor or remove my front page topics as I'm not going to update them. I've accepted that A&M will never win anything meaningful when I'm alive.

I'm glad I didn't watch the shite show ending live.

I'm glad that the dipshits on texags will now have to work overtime to spin this bull shite and get their garbage shoved in their faces."

The mods are weird on SEC rant but in terms of objectivity the aggy SEC rant board is one of the best. They always mock Texags/Gigem247  and there are quality posters over there. 

For an aggy board, it's by far the best because it's not constant sunshine pumping and they're at least willing to have real discussions. DR RC's post from that thread nailed it.

why are agroids mad? their starting QB was injured for the year, so 8 wins is not bad with calzone.

Irrational Aggy Expectations.  They came into the year thinking they were going to compete to play in the SEC Championship Game and/or were going to be part of the national championship playoff picture.  Reality then hit and they finished fifth in their division despite beating Alabama.

Their starting quarterback managed to throw three interceptions against... Kent State.  I'm not sure Calzone was a downgrade.

Definitely this.  In 2020, they all thought it was THEIR year because they had a veteran QB, a veteran o-line, and reasons to believe they had a decent defense returning.  And they were right.  Sure it was a weird COVID year, but they still had a good season.  

But somehow, despite knowing that 2020 was going to be a peak and that 2021 should be a step back based on all of the offensive losses, they somehow managed to convince themselves that their "top 4" finish in 2020, meant they had successfully climbed the ladder, and 2021 was just inevitably going to be even better.  Winning the SEC and making the CFP were now a foregone conclusion.  The total disconnect between those expectations, and the reality of what their team lost in the off-season, was baffling.

And so, here we are.

The aggy QB battle was close in fall camp. The idea King was substantially better than Calzada is funny when their own boards were saying there wasn't much separating the QBs before the season.

This is one of those rare days I wish I had more friends who are aggy fans.

I can't wait to see next year's aggy cup commemorating this game. I'm voting for this:

My favorite part is the poor grammar.  It encapsulates both the aggy football and academic tradition beautifully.

How many opt outs for their bowl game? 

Seems like they will have several. Leal, Spiller, Green and Wydermyer could all opt out.

I don’t think Jimbo has ever had a bowl game “opt-out” at a&m…..of course, he’s never had a first rounder either.

They somehow blame the season on the loss of King. The same guy who threw four picks at Akron and was trailing colorado before he got hurt.

Feb 28, 2018:

"When you listen to Jimbo talk, you know he can already taste it," Sharp told the Chronicle on Wednesday evening of why he gave Fisher the mythical plaque. "He is driven." https://www.chron.com/sports/aggies/article/Texas-A-M-chancellor-John-Sharp-gives-coach-Jimbo-12717985.php

 

Jimbo Fisher isn't shying away from the championship-or-bust pressure at Texas A&M. "The timeline is now," he said of bringing a title to College Station. "You want to win immediately." https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/24113399/jimbo-fisher-ready-win-immediately-texas-am?device=featurephone

 

Whether or not he lives up to his massive deal remains to be seen, but the Aggies will need to see some major improvements in the next few years to keep the good feelings going. https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/tamu-football/regrets-jimbo-fishers-10-year-deal-chancellor-jokes-wanted-longer/
