"Texas A&M IS OVERRATED!" - Paul Finebaum reacts to Texas A&M's embarrassing loss to South Carolina

[@bobbernard8331]

Literally not a positive word about the team that took down A&M. Not. One. word.

[@joelcurtis3363]

Its because Paul Hates A&M. He never thinks if a program beats A&M that it ment anything...

[@willmiddleton9199]

AMEN brother - the Gamecocks NEVER get any respect from the media higher ups..... PISSES me off !

[@tededuncan2306]

Paul Finebaum is overrated!

[@Anna_Nimmitty]

Finebaum, as the Very Worst Part of the overall image of The SEC, swallows and could easily be replaced within The SEC Network with a much more comfortably fitting 21st century Voice of The SEC identity. Though he certainly always denies such, the man is a Bama fan that positively publicizes his favorite team mostly by negatively commenting on any and all others via his standard under the table negative comments from his professional radio position as much as he possibly can. In closing and as what is quite blatantly evident, Finebaum needs to be flushed ASAP as to what’s best for the entire conference overall IMHO!! A.N.

[@G--Mann]

Both Finebaum and atm can be overrated. Both can be true!

[@denroy3]

Most commentators are overrated. Joel Klatt is a good one, but heavily biased toward his paycheck provider. It is what it is...if you get a chance to really watch, your big time fan is just as good as these guys at analyzing. They all have to draw eyes and often their views are directed at that first.

[@SavedChildOfGod803]

Screw these guys. Go Gamecocks

[@Lonnie-e8o]

I hear you. Go Gamecocks....

[@txaggievet]

A week ago he was praising us saying we were legit, 1 week later we are overrated, dude doesnt know jack shit about football

[@alexott8258]

He just cares about views. He'd say anything to make sure people keep watching.

[@jamestacular]

To be fair I don't think he every actually said "A&M is overrated". But yeah, these guys are acting like they both saw this coming when a week ago it was all about how good Mike Elko is and how dangerous this team is.

[@keithgill9716]

Aggies are good, SC is better. Finebaum is overrated.

[@Lonnie-e8o]

Y'all always talk trash about Carolina. They just beat the shit out of A&M..

[@guadacoma]

A&M sucks and shouldn't have been rated that high, but good win, it made my weekend that's for sure. The hedge meme's are hysterical.

[@kyleedwards3168]

Aggies got outplayed all night.

[@G--Mann]

That is nothing new.

[@chadsmith541]

PF wouldn't praise SC if we beat the dolphins.. Texas AM is a very good team and so is SC

[@G--Mann]

In your comment, in the last sentence, the latter team is profoundly good; the former is as mediocre as they've always been. The media hyping up atm "elite" defense was as laughable as it was erroneous.

[@alexott8258]

​@G--Mann Why is SC "profoundly good"? They have 3 conference losses. They are good. They beat A&M... after a bi-week with a home night game (which the internet says matters at that stadium). I think everyone is just wondering if they can do that when they don't have those favorable circumstances. Not a knock, just an unknown.

[@G--Mann]

@@alexott8258 I am sure every team in the SEC has 2 bye-weeks allocated to them. One can say the same thing about A&M having bye-weeks before their wins. Should those wins not count as much or we only count it if it is against our narrative?

[@chadsmith541]

@@alexott8258 i would say go rewatch the bama game in tuscaloosa.. it was a loss by 2 that cld have been as easily a win. this team just continues to get better each week as the freshman qb gains experience and confidence.. the defense has been good all year. nobody's going unbeaten through the second slate and there'll possibly be a 2 loos team playing for the second championship and possibly a 3 loss team in the playoff.. it's what makes this league fun but brutal..

[@unfamoustalent]

@@alexott8258 To be fair, most anybody I've seen speak about the LSU loss (even a few LSU fans) knows we got screwed out of that game, we had 2 TD's, a 2-pt conv., and a CRUCIAL pass taken away from us on questionable calls. We also lost our starting QB in that game when it was still very winnable. We lost to Alabama, AT Alabama by less than a FG and honestly we were 2 or 3 mistakes away from winning that game. At the end of the day and the season, they are L's on the record I get that, but the fact remains that if we were to somehow meet up and play either of those teams again, I think we absolutely take the W especially if a FAIR game is called. This team should be a 1 loss team and most of the country knows it. When I see Georgia and Tennessee fans on my timeline talking about how glad they are that they don't have to play us this year, that's a sign to me that we're better than we're being given credit for. Case and point, we beat the number 10 team in the country (call them overrated or not, still #10) and didn't even get ranked 25th in the nation. We get zero respect nationally, but I promise NO ONE is taking us lightly behind the scenes when it's time to spot the ball.

[@brandonmitchum8762]

Uuu uuuu Paul always talks trash about the Gamecocks

[@chrisowen3264]

Finebaum flip flops more than a politician lol

[@roberte.bennett8327]

What's Paul trying to say? South Carolina isn't as bad as their record indicates and A&M isn't as good as their record indicates?

[@kriscobb-xi1wq]

Aggies just played a team that was hot,The Aggies arent overrated They just ran out of Gas in the Sec Half.We still tied in first and Atlanta is in play.I had them losing this game.Texas game will make A&M ticket to Atlanta,Congrats to South Carolina you deserve to win

[@gavinsellars8012]

A&M is definitely overrated lol

Y’all didn’t score a single point in the second half, “ran out of steam?” Or “didn’t have any steam?”

[@LG7TexasFight]

Ran out of gas since 2012

[@billcaz189]

A&M over rated. SEC Teams know whats up.

[@balapadmanabhan5705]

This is the same guy raving about Mike Elko and the job he has done at A&M. Why anyone takes him seriously is beyond my imagination.

[@allahakbar6739]

SEC went from 4 teams in to only conference champion. Big 12 has a weak azz schedule and will prolly get 2 or 3 in. Vandy would he top 5 in that conference

[@rolandoramon5623]

You literally just said we were "real contenders" this week. Paul Finebaum is a shitty sports talker and panderer to popular media.

[@davidfence6939]

Can't be bothered to say a good word about Carolina. I mean I don't expect much, but a crumb is so much to ask for from media guys.

[@Allen-hg2hu]

I'm a fan of you guys. I enjoyed seeing your team thoroughly dominate the arrogant aggroids. You are within what 6 points of having 7 wins this year. I am impressed by your QB and your receivers. I am glad my team is not playing your team this year. Don't worry about the media, alot of teams play better as the underdog, like SC did this game, keep that dog mentality and they could win out. Good luck the rest of the season.

[@UsesLogic]

He has never let go of South Carolina losing everything in spurriers last year. He thought we were going to stomp A&M in their first game in the league(we got torched), he had the gamecocks continuing to put 11 win seasons up, he talked us up. Spurrier crashed and burned. Finebaum looked stupid and he has never given our program an ounce of recognition since. F Paul finebaum.

[@celticthunder1267]

No surprise these two flipped overnight from praising the Ags to shoveling dirt on them. Every team in the SEC has warts and has looked overrated at times this season (see Tennessee v. Arkansas; Ole Miss v. Kentucky; etc.), and a USC team that was primed and ready to roll exposed the Ags' warts last night.

[@derekduenez9161]

A&M will always be the bridesmaid, never the bride.

[@acidbubblebath77]

This guy is full of crap. Neither team is overrated but his ego is definitely overinflated.

[@JosephJohn-fb9wx]

Are you really telling me that a coach should stay because he had a "good loss". No, I remember a coach saying that "I would rather play bad and win then play good and lose.". Florida has lost four games. They have lost 3 in the SEC. How is that a "good enough" resume? Football is a bottom line business.

[@tannerledet6572]

Aggie fan here - GREAT WIN SC!!!

[@storm7586]

I so agree with you Paul -- finally someone said it !!!

[@toddbaker2831]

I'm glad Carolina won this one but even more happy Carolina beat the snot out of Oklahoma showed them they weren't ready for SEC football.

[@JosephJohn-fb9wx]

Road games in the SEC are murder. This is nothing new. Elite teams beat good teams on the road. That is how you judge elite SEC teams. A&M is a really good team. They just need to show their mettle and win out. Their season is still all in front of them.

[@unfamoustalent]

I don't know why I gave Paul the benefit of the doubt that maybe, just maybe he would have some positive words to say about my Gamecocks. In the end it doesn't matter, everyone can continue to doubt us, try and keep us out of the top 25, but anyone willing to look at us with unbiased eyes knows we should be a 1 loss team and in talks for a CFP spot.

[@joefrausto1667]

A&M is poorly COACHED AN HE WAS THE ONE PATTING THEM ON THE BACK!!!

[@universalintuition1691]

Nothing in the Sec is overrated. I can point out some overrated teams that’s in the top ten outside of the Sec that Texas a&m and South Carolina would dog walk. Oregon for sure!! Ohio state would have to throw all they had at these teams. Indiana!!!😂😂😂 👌. They are all good teams in their conference but the point I’m trying to make is that the Sec is full of great teams. It’s not 1 or 2 in the conference. It’s at least 10 teams over here that can literally make the playoffs and win the Natty. Stop turning yall heads to the truth and facts.

[@universalintuition1691]

If South Carolina would make the playoffs they would go on a run until they met another Sec team and still the other Sec team would have to fight their way out of that game.

[@DanielTrevino-us4wn]

No one is alive the last time atm won a natty ! 😂 🤣🤣🤣….1938

Here are again, these SEC teams who think they are the best exposed themselves,,, thanks for conference championship game that will have a team in a playoff in my opinion... No team deserve to be in the playoffs rather than Georgia because Tennessee is struggling every game...

[@holyisthelamb2012]

Paul is wrong. A&M is not underrated. They were flat and lacked energy after a very emotional game with LSU, and conversely, the Gamecocks were sky-high emotionally. I blame coaching because the Aggies have better athletes.

[@willmiddleton9199]

Based on what I saw on Saturday night I don't think A&M has better athletes top to bottom - no way, no how dude. And I don't think many people would argue with me on that....
