I know what you’re doing. Sandbagging, mentally prepping so you won’t be let down or tempt the Evil Capricious Football Gods.
Just stop. A&M is just bad this year. We could only score 14 points against Appalachian State, who let UNC score 60 the week before. We lost 6 games in a row, the worst losing streak since the 70’s. We struggled to beat UMass, literally the worst team in CFB, at home.
We really haven’t had home field advantage since the 90’s. Which is a damn shame. Ordinarily this is where you would fire your coach, but some idiot locked him in for at least 3-5 more years at $10 MM per. And this is because your AD, our current AD tried to poach him again, so we upped the ante to keep him. And instead of A&M winning the West in year 5, it’s LSU with a brand new Yankee coach.
I predict A&M will play just well enough to make a game of it, until late in the 3rd quarter. LSU rushes for a bunch, defense can’t get off the field in the 4th quarter, and we lose 33-31. Which frankly would be a win, cuz we’re not getting blown out.
It’s really weird too, that if you look at all our games, most were one score games, except MSU, and we had a chance until late.
