Going after Jason Robertson and trying to get him to drop the gloves, but refusing to fight Colin Blackwell...
That's a rough look, and I think Jamie Benn just said the perfect words to Neal Pionk after fighting Adam Lowry.
Watching @sircalebhammer, a band kid turned finance nerd, get death threats on a weekly basis for telling people deeply in debt they can’t afford DoorDash has been one of the most radicalizing things I’ve experienced.
Was midnight yell a little weird as an outsider? You betcha.
But these people love their school. And that stadium will NEVER not be full for a home game.
Not many fanbases are like that.
The time has arrived, readers/followers. Many moons ago, I warned X just how outta pocket I would get if Texas A&M made the CFP. It won't be pretty. I exhort you to utilize the mute/block functions if one wishes to spare their TL of the incoming unapologetic maroon deluge #GigEm
The worst part about losing this game is that we’re gonna have to hear these entitled ass mfs complain about “non-conference schedule” when they could’ve just beat Florida
Men,
We are here today, a day like any other; the sun came up, it will go down. Tomorrow will be the same.
But we know, today, there’s something different. We feel it… deep inside, something tells me this game is about more than just a win or a loss.
We are playing a team, just as hungry as you, just as skilled as you, but they are not your true opponent.
The real opponent is lurking in the shadows. Its with you at practice, and in the locker room, its by your side when you go to class, and staring back at you in the weight room.
Who is the opponent and what is holding you back?
Potential; Its you! your potential, who’s very existence was born from the ashes of your hopes and dreams, set ablaze by sparks from the clash between desire and failure. Your potential is everything you haven’t done and it’s standing btw you and everything you want to be.
You are your potential until you meet your potential. You are playing against you, not the other team. Forget the other team, you can’t beat them until you beat you.
When you put your hand in the ground, when you take that snap, or execute your assignment, and make a tackle, you have to realize…you only have you to beat.
Potential is a dream…a vision that shows you everything you could be. Its about you!
Men, the road to reaching your potential goes straight through you!
You are held back by your expectations and desires. The secret to getting what you want is to forget about what you want. Expectations, championships, wins, losses…forget it. Meaningless!
You can’t beat your potential until you have nothing to lose. The most difficult, and most rewarding victory in life, is beating yourself b/c it’s the only way to reach your potential.
But you can’t beat yourself by playing for yourself; you have too much to lose.
If you aren’t playing for you, then why are you playing? What’s the point? Why play?
WE ARE THE AGGIES, we play because this game is a privilege. This is the greatest game there is; it brings 100k together, from all around the world; from dime box to Dickinson, from Australia to Abilene, people love to see you play. This game unites! THE AGGIES ARE WE, That’s why we play!
You play for the guy on your left, you play for the guy to your right, behind you, and Upstairs. Play for the fans, TRUE TO EACH OTHER
You are tiny, infinitesimal… You’ll find it when you stop playing for yourself and play for something bigger than you! Want to reach your potential?
PLAY, FOR TEXAS A&M!
Today is different, it’s not like any other day. Today, you play for a chance to be the best, AS AGGIES CAN BE!
Now give em hell!
