Aggies have turned to trash

I remember last time we played this series it was the example of sportsmanship that everyone could look up to. Now A&M fakes injuries on the field, and makes excuses why they beat themselves without giving credit to the other team. Don’t know if it was Johnny Football, joining the SEC, or Jimbo Fisher, but I remember them taking pride in not doing those things last time we played.

I didn’t see any fake injuries yesterday from A&M. Remember LSU? They should have received an award.

I'm not sure any of the A&M's were fake. Our players were hurting them fair and square. Not that jimmy-bo would be above, but Mond was not faking his cramps.

Didn’t appear to me they were faking. I watched them closely through binoculars and I think cramps knees ankles and groom injuries happened. They would not fake to get third or fourth string DTs on the field.

Historically, humidity is higher in College Station than it

is in Clemson. Temperature too. Why was their defense so much more prone to injury than their offense and Clemson on both sides of the ball? Why do the injuries happen on third down when the other team is moving the ball? Why does this happen to Jimbo's teams consistantly more than any other team not named LSU? Why do the injured players always seem to come right back in the next series?

Was Clemson not playing in the same heat. I don’t remember one time that we had to stop play for cramps or to slow down. The only stoppage I remember is when XT got his ankle rolled and he was out for more than one play.

Overreact much? Some people just aren’t happy without something to ##### about, I guess.

In section O, down behind the visitor’s bench, there were many more opponent (Texas a&m) fans that we typically have in our section. They kept their comments quiet and were not obnoxious for most of the game. However, a goodly number of them were giddy after scoring their only td. Something about the point spread, blah, blah, blah.
In my 50+ years as a Clemson fan, I don’t ever recall be consoled by getting a trash time td to “beat the spread.” The culture there is shifting to the Jimbo (Earnest T Bass) Fisher way of thinking.
I told a couple of them after the game that they will regret bringing in JF as coach. He is not ethically anchored and will allow any manner to thug to play and represent their school.

Weak. Act like we are classy. What's there to.complain about. We won. I thought only the losers have something to complain about.

That's the doctrine of the Sorry Excuse Conference. Make excuses when you lose, beat your chest when you when. I will say that every A&M fan that I met, and it was quite a few, were some of the nicest opposing fans I've met at Death Valley. I met one at Chick Fil A after the game and updated him on the score of the Texas / LSU game. He said, "If Texas was playing Al Queda I'd be an Al Queda fan". I said I feel the same way about South Carolina.
Their team may be mouthy but the fans that I met weren't. They are very passionate about their team and they travel well. Looked to me like there were more Aggie fans at the game than there were Coot fans at our game with them last year.

I agree. Best fan base I've met outside of us. It's a shame

We sat next to some A&M fans and we were discussing the heat. She said they typically play most of their Aug, Sept and early Oct games at night due to the heat. As far as the obvious difference in conditioning of the players, it would be interesting to see the difference in number of players getting snaps between the teams. I suspect we held up better because we tend to play more people.
