It’s crazy. It’s funny how they go looking for Covid that suddenly there’s a ton of guys come down with it. In the middle of winter. During flu season. We had Nick Starkel and Jake Hubenak asking on Twitter if they could come back and play the bowl game after Calzada left. Let’s just make it an alumni game and be done with it.

Guys would be risking serious injury in a meaningless game if they played with 13 guys on defense. He needs to worry about beating Kansas more than A&M not playing in a bowl due to injury, opt out, and covid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Covid is over played especially since they are actively going out and hunting for it it.

You have got a very simplistic view of things. See, not all wins are created equal. One of those wins was over Alabama, who will likely win the championship. One of those as over auburn, both wins which boosted A&M in recruiting, setting up our team’s future. Not only that, it was with a team that was decimated by injuries all season long. If you’re so simple that you want to reduce a season simply to “wins”, then so be it. Anyone with a brain can see beyond that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t believe this site allows bs rumors like what he was spouting, yet jumped at the opportunity to suspend and ban people for even hinting at Gilmer recruiting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
country Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 You are saying its wrong to question things? I never said it was true, in fact my 1st word was Rumor. Was a thought I wanted to share hoping for some form of critical thinking. I cannot believe people are just willing to accept anything that comes across the news.

I cannot believe people are just willing to accept anything that comes across the news. I mean we could say a rumor exists about anything by that line of thinking. I heard a rumor that you beat your wife. I'm not saying it's true... Just a rumor I heard. You posted a rumor, it quickly got shut down because your "source" (if it even exists) is a joke that has no inside knowledge of the program. The end. No "critical thinking" is needed because you posted a completely baseless rumor with nothing to back it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made a claim, it was a rumor, you were quickly shut up over it. Before you post rumors, you should at LEAST try to have a source behind it.

A&M was down 20 someodd players due to opt outs/transfers and then another 20 due to covid. Nothing to do with players "revolting", which was what you originally, claimed Also, try to come up with your own thoughts. Copying/pasting stuff from other sites does nothing, really. It's as easily shut down as your little rumor. Not to mention, whoever's thoughts you stole aren't involved with A&M athletics either, and they know nothing. Just like you. Implying A&M is "scared" to play Wake Forest is a joke. The NCAA won't let us play, and with only 13 scholarship players on defense (most at DB), there isn't really any way A&M can field a team in a modern game of football.
