Building on Mike Elko's Year 1 at Texas A&M | Aggies Competing for Championships in College Station

[@SethNowlin-gi8bk]

as a Texas fan, I gotta say, I've always loved Kyle Field Culture. Much respect (on the bucket list to go to a game). Y'alls coordination and devotion leaves texas fans in the dust. best we got is: "TEXAS!!!" "FIGHT!!!!" lol y'all DWARF our yells/ expression of the passion of the game

[@wesleyhackney]

@@SethNowlin-gi8bk thanks for thoughtful comments. I graduated A&M in 1978 and this years game is my 50th Anniversary of seeing Ags play the horns. Looking forward to many more matchups with lots to play for on the line like we just did last Saturday

[@tightywhitey9779]

That’s nice and all but we then we lose the big games. Like perpetually.

[@wesleyhackney]

Excited about Aggie football future with this guy at the helm. True blue collar, get’r done kind of guy. Don’t miss Jimbo

[@Cicero-ri8ke]

I miss Jimbo

[@javierruiz3876]

Bro needs to defend the run though

[@wesleyhackney]

@ I’m giving him 2 more years to get guys he wants and fully change the culture. Just look at the recruiting class we just got and some great commits on Defense that will help address some of the issues you are noticing . By the way Texas scored 0 points in 2nd half thought that was an accomplishment

[@texasfight210]

Lets check back in 3 years shall we 🤝🏾

[@Liam___ohara___]

Solid B+for the aggies this season…. Couple top 10 wins beating lsu

[@JamesJJ-gb5tm]

LSU not ranked and finished like 7-5 lol. Aggies actually don't have a single ranked win except for Missouri #19 (which is a joke because they shouldn't be ranked)

[@ADAMConfer-yd1ke]

Elko will lead A&M without a doubt.

[@Cicero-ri8ke]

Or will he?

[@JJ-zr6fu]

The November collapse was awful no reason you can’t tackle or beat usc and auburn

[@Cicero-ri8ke]

@ only Elko’s first year. A&M on the rise!

@ only Elko’s first year. A&M on the rise!

[@JohnParsons-tv7hb]

Custer lead his troops without a doubt also. Right into the hands of the Lakota. After that epic November collapse how anyone can have any confidence in Elko is beyond me.

[@marktweet7395]

Wait until next year!

[@leestebbins5051]

We generally can the coach around the five year mark with RC being the exception.

[@GSDadd]

The standard is 8-4

[@LJfootball14]

But yet there were a couple suspect takes late both that have different concerns. He’s got to make sure he doesn’t compromise the culture to get good quick.

[@SamuelMiller-qf7qi]

I would say he’s still establishing the culture, he’s only coached 12 games there and they last 3 sec games went very poorly. Gotta fix that part of the culture

[@TylerEubank]

Like who?

[@es330td]

Going back to the first year of the Big 12 A&M has averaged 8-4. This season A&M went...8-4. Elko has continued the standard.

[@jakechapman6892]

It’s his first year. Saban was 6-6 at Bama, Sark was 5-7, Kirby Smart went 7-5 at Georgia. I would say in 2 years we will know. But I genuinely hope Elko does well.

[@lima1193]

A quarter of the roster transfers, he brought in decent guys and the result is going 8-4 with a chance to go to the SEC championship ... All within a year of him being here. You're kinda ignoring some things.

[@truffleshuffle6758]

[@texasbutter3]

Texas 8&4

[@Liam___ohara___]

First year head coach buddy…. Shut up

[@tjohnston914]

Not bad for his first season. Texas went 5-7 for Sarks first Season in the Big Dumpster.

[@texasbutter3]

@ very fair assessment. the big dumpster is accurate lol

[@t1g3rstyl3]

​@@tjohnston914 yeah, except Sark took over a team with Tom Herman's scraps and Elko took over a team with a historic #1 recruiting class from less than two years ago. Is mental gymnastics a major at aTm or what?

[@waltershoults8803]

@@t1g3rstyl3they simply will not see that , it’s absolutely true but your talking about a program that largely is suffering from battered Aggie syndrome and honestly it’s football cognitive dissonance. Truth , talking about future as if they’re building something with Homer Simpson

[@hb3801]

Why not settle for competing to beat a crappy USC team in a meaningless bowl?

[@theoriginaldashriprock]

Poor aggies 🤣

[@jasoneddington1361]

Poor? Bc no bro

[@waltershoults8803]

This is pathetic . Talking like there’s a future in losing . Culture???? WTF gtfoh 🤪😂

[@SamuelMiller-qf7qi]

I like mike Elko and I get he can’t really say anything else but saying he thinks A&M is the premier job in the country, and his comments earlier this year about how A&M is the flagship university in Texas. I get what he’s doing but as someone from Texas who didn’t go to Texas or A&M, I went to tx state, but I just laugh when he says stuff like that knowing A&M’s history or lack there of

[@tjohnston914]

Lack there of on maybe the football field only lol. As an entire institution, he’s spot on.

[@mr.absolutelynobody440]

Sounds like you know nothing of the history as a whole for the university

[@JJ-zr6fu]

In Texas, A&M is the premier state university

[@naufalalfiansyah5112]

texas E&L (Embarassing & Loser) or 8&4

[@c_wilson3401]

Notice how you had to explain your joke and I still didnt even make sense lmao, embarrassing and loser. You could of at least said Texas Average & Mid or just cut out the first part and leave it at Texas 8-4

[@naufalalfiansyah5112]

well idc about the fact texas A&M is real E&L if your disagree its ok but the fact is texas a&m always trash team even they claimed have a good program but 0 sec championship 0 National but your rivalry have national championship... come on man stop denial about the reality texas a&m isnt a&m anymore but E&L
