Aggie Football is almost here. You read that correctly.

this week for a two-parter on the LiucciCast to preview the 2020 A&M season. In part one, the duo goes in-depth on
@TheKellenMond
& the A&M offense.
Let me say this....and I’m going to say it with all of my heart...thank you
@TheKellenMond
for being a hell of a leader for this Texas A&M football team. When it was time to step up and lead this team, you ignored all of the noise...overcame adversity and had your best year! 👍🏼
There is no bigger supporter of this football team. I genuinely love this program. Texas A&M changed my life.
But what has happened against App St. And what is happening today is absolutely unacceptable.
Jimbo has to give up the offense. It’s a Ferrari driving in mud.
Adapt!
Joey Galloway...”who has Texas A&M played...” Texas A&M SOS is 9th compared to ND at 42nd.
Chris Fowler...”A&M hurt by not playing a game...” meanwhile OSU plays 6 total games and only 2 road games compared to A&M playing 5 road games and 9 total...
Get the mic from them..smh
Please hire an OC!
Don’t waste 15,1,8,10,22,18,7
We’ve already wasted 6.
Hire a new OL coach. First priority.
2nd is hire an OC.
Feed all the freshmen.
Don’t go out like this, Jimbo.
Adjust. AdaptX Change. Or waste it all and go out prideful with Ls
“Aggies fans take a good look. Texas has come to the realization that they are now what they have feared the most, the “Little Brother” and this is their desperate attempt to regain alpha status.” -Saturday Down South
Petrino really could’ve done big things if he was given total control this year. What an absolute waste by former head coach
It’s amazing how often Pride keeps people from moving forward in life.
Today’s game sucked but Here are some things that haven’t changed:
Texas A&M is the best school in America
Aggies are the best people and have made a huge impact in my life.
We will continue to support these players and this football team….
And It’s ok to be frustrated 👍🏽
The typical A&M hating national media is out tonight and loving this L. But as usual, lazy & ignorant takes. Jimbo faces toughest schedule maybe in history after losing 18 starters. Year 1, 9 wins, top 3 class. Beat top 15 Kentucky & LSU. Top 7 class now. Keep sleeping. I’m a fan
One thing I can guarantee you, not a single coach/team in the final 4 (outside of maybe Bama) wanted to see Texas A&M right now. Top 3 O-Line in USA, best defense in SEC, best DC in the USA, top 3 backfields, top 2 TE, SR QB w/confidence..7 game win streak by double digits in SEC
All off-season I heard how Texas A&M paid too much money for Jimbo. A lot of media and fans said that Scott Frost, Chip Kelly and Taggert were better hires and would have more long-term success. It’s only three weeks in but I feel pretty good about the Jimbo Fisher hire!
That one hurt deep.
Can’t even front.
The worst Bama team we’ve seen since being in the SEC with their worst QB we’ve seen and we take the L.
I’m honestly just deeply sad. Not even mad anymore.
Huge Congratulations to every single young man that signed with Texas A&M today. Having the opportunity to play ball there & get an education for free literally changed everything about my life. You’ve been given a chance to change your future . Take advantage of it and work hard
There are literally no other student sections that even come close. Played at Nebraska, Va. Tech, Texas, OU, Lubbock, Mizzou, etc...been to LSU, Ole Miss, USCe, Florida State....absolutely nothing like Kyle Field and 12th Man
In the last 4 football games against LSU, Auburn, Tennessee, and South Carolina....Texas A&M has only allowed an average of 5 points each game in the second half!!
@CFBPlayoff
If you live and work in Texas, you know how much truth there is in that comment.
No University in the State of Texas will prepare student-athletes for success and has an alumni base that supports former students more.
Especially if they work hard, aren’t entitled, and care!
A&M fans…we took an L to a team that is very well coached & returned 17 starters. 15 or more 5/6th year players.
We had back-up QB, 4 fish starting on O.
We could’ve played better. But chill. That’s a good team. They won’t be in 22. We are 11-1 in last 12. We will bounce back
This cannot happen.
I don’t care about injuries.
I don’t care about veterans on App State.
Kick rocks with that stuff.
There is absolutely no excuse for this happening at Kyle Field with this roster.
I’ve not met Hayden yet, but I can this without a doubt…young man might be my favorite that’s been at A&M in the big three sports in a while.
Great personality, well-spoken, obviously a leader, super sharp, and a great ball player.
A&M is lucky to have him! 🫡🫡
Also, are we a fan of this
@GavinGrahovac
move? + hit tool with average athletic ability and a dad who may love twitter more than me
@mike_grahovac
. Gotta think about the whole picture when making moves such as this…. things to think about it👀
Jimbo has to give up play calling tomorrow.
There is absolutely no excuse for being this bad on offense.
No injuries. No suspensions. It doesn’t matter.
It’s just plain bad.
We will not succeed with his offense.
Let it go
If y’all can, please pray for my in-laws (both Aggies). They retired and moved to Ruidoso, NM in 2020. It’s been such a gift being with fam at their place last few years.
The entire city is on evacuation and minus a miracle happening, their home will be lost in the wildfires 😔
Regardless of what happens, the most wild thing to me is that 15 hasn’t been the guy all year.
It’s just mind boggling how much better of a QB this kid is.
And I love 13 and 14! Tough kids!!! Great young men.
But 15 making throws and plays we haven’t seen since 2012.
Remember, A&M Loss to Alabama was against a full strength Alabama...on the road...in week 2! We never lost after that, won our last 8 games and 7 of those were by double digits. Including W’s against Florida, LSU, Auburn, Tenn, Miss St. & Ark.
The narrative leaving A&M out was💩
This L hurts bad. I’m 35 years old and never seen so many awful no calls and calls. Changed the game. Worst officiating I’ve ever seen, in college and pro football. Honestly, they should be ashamed of this.
@SEC
you have to be better. Garbage.
People hate to be wrong.
Media has been wrong about Jimbo Fisher @ A&M.
They hated A&M hired him from FSU.
They mocked the contract saying spent too much.
They don’t believe because A&M choked so much in the past
They can’t admit A&M is legit now and will be for a long time.
Watching A little bit of Baylor/TCU earlier and then watching LSU/Alabama is crazy. It’s like watching JV football vs Varsity. The difference in the caliber of athletes on the field is unreal. Regardless of your conference affiliation, it’s impossible to deny. No comparison
Feel for those young men and all involved with Aggie Baseball team.
If I’m hurting this bad and I’m just an old man watching from a distance, I know they are all hurting.
Proud of how hard they played and the way they all handle themselves. A team full of class and respect! 👍🏼
Our fans….🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️😂😂
21 point win on the road in a place we haven’t always played well
11AM road game after an emotional W against Alabama
2 running backs with 100+ yards
Held a great offense to 14 points
Offensive line with best performance of season
Enjoy this Saturday
Key take-aways from Coach Elko
-knows he is a Steward of A&M program (humility)
- become best version of ourselves. No elevator button to top. Earn it!
(Work ethic)
- We will have a blueprint…Adapt and adjust along the way where necessary
(Vision)
-develop men!
(leadership)
🔥
We’ll be donating to
@12thManFndtn
this year more than ever.
We’ll be getting
@AggieBaseball
season tickets for 1st time.
Will be giving to
@TXAggiesUnited
ASAP!
Give what you can.
Support these players and this program!
Beyond proud of them and proud to be an Aggie.
#GigEm
Congrats to you & your fam
@CoachMikeElko
Texas A&M is a special place and as a former player I’m beyond excited to have you leading this program.
The most impressive thing about today was how obvious it is you care.
For your wife & kids, your parents, and for this program
Honest question for my Twitter followers, regardless of the school you claim…do you truly believe (minus emotion and bound allegiance) that Texas Football is in a better position as a program than Texas A&M?!?
There is absolutely no way (if you know football) you believe that!
Jimbo & staff will have now signed four consecutive Top 10 classes. If they can go back to back to back Top 5 with this year and the next two, they will have a Championship roster that rivals what Bama has done over the last decade.
I think Texas A&M Football is gonna be good!
I truly believe
@TimTebow
is the only (or one of a few) analysts who watches Texas A&M. We dominate the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, we dominate and win physically, we control the Time of possession, we run the football well. Old school, grown football!
#JustWin
Also....don’t @ me...
Mond is not the problem. Two good games for him in a row.
His protection is pretty bad right now, up to this point. The WRs had so many drops in our 2 Ls (but they have improved a lot last 7 quarters). Our TEs and RBs are inexperienced and have to grow.
Just a terrible & lazy take. You are much better at your job than this. We went 4-0 in November in year 1 & beat top 15 Kentucky & LSU. Every loss this yr was to a top 12 team and 3 # 1’s. We had
#3
recruit class last yr.. top 7 now. We lost 18 starters last yr. saving this one
Someone in the A&M athletic department must have disrespected Kirk Herbstreit in the past or something. He’s not this trash as an announcer. So...either he hates Texas A&M, or his bias for Ohio St. Or his kids school is erasing his ability to his job well. Because he is tripping
Full on confession...I was heading down panic roller coaster after a few events during the game.
I took a step back..realized that we’re a BETTER team & have a BETTER coach, despite some fluky plays...and trusted we’d bring the W home.
My BAS is dead...your’s should be too!
👍🏼
It’s so nice to see analysts that know the game...pay attention and watch film...who have seen some of these teams in person...and that are also former players.
Why are our fans so negative so quick? And jump ship on Mond?! Guys, this UGA team is ridiculously talented. It’s pouring rain, we are on the road, our O-Line can’t pass block and this is a pretty salty defense. Chill out.....it’s the second quarter!
William Mixon Leone made his debut at 4:30 PM!

*7.46 lbs
Momma did SO awesome and was a trooper. He came out and latched right away! Feeling overwhelmed with gratitude right now!
God is good!
“Momma, there goes that man....” 🔥
We have got to quit letting these garbage officials on the field at Kyle! This is truly unreal.
A TD drive that shouldn’t have existed.
Three 3rd down stops negated by penalties…..at home….from officials 30
Yards behind the play.
Truly unacceptable
@SEC
The reality is that the State of Texas deserves better than Greg Abbott and Robert Francis.
Beto is maybe the fakest politician I’ve ever seen. Dude is a mascot
Abbott was so weak during Covid and hurt so many small businesses and school districts in our state.
People expect Jimbo to be miracle worker in less than 2 yrs because we pay him well. Look @ 5 yrs of avg roster talent compared to our division foes. Quit being impatient. He’s recruiting at levels we’ve rarely seen. He’s better coach than all in West but Saban. Needs more stars
If y’all could shoot up some prayers for me, I’m teaching on Step 6 Repentance tonight in the Discipleship/recovery ministry I’m part of at my church. That God would be glorified. people would be encouraged to turn from the things that hurt them and pursue the One who loves them
"If I were to take you to one place on the college football map that just perfectly encapsulates what makes this sport so different, it'd be Kyle Field, it'd be College Station, Texas."
@LateKickJosh
Also, This guy is the real deal. Super talented and good at what he does.
Damn I wish we were kicking off in 2 minutes! Bring on tomorrow at 11 AM....I’m so fired up for Texas A&M Football right now.
Could not be more excited or proud as a lettermen!
Honestly, ignore any and every hater at this point. This is exciting stuff!
BTHOeveryone
Ok…Give me 3% of that contract…here it is!
Jimbo Fisher & staff recruit better than anyone in program history.
If he’d be willing to change this offense, he will win a Natty here.
Be the CEO. Delegate to talented OC w/an offense that stretches field and is simpler.
Bro wtf is going on with this officiating. this isn’t real. Field judge on A&M sideline signals first down behind his back. Opposite field judge calls it short and then we get stopped. This is the worst I’ve ever seen it.
Hey...haters...national media...here is a heads up...
Texas A&M is different now.
You can hate all you want.
But this is what we do...we sign top 5 classes. We set new records for SEC wins in a row at A&M! . We change cultures, And Jimbo drops his 🥜
Look at the love!
#GigEm
8 days into 2019 and I’m sure a lot of people already gave up on New Years Resolutions/Goals. Don’t stop! Keep grinding and stay committed. I was a 13 year old freshman when I made this, my mom had just been sent to prison and we had no money. Few people believed in me but I did!
“This is a different defense than anything he faved in the Big 12.”
@KirkHerbstreit
on Kyler Murray vs Bama. Also, 8 of the Top defense in SEC are better than the best Big 12 defense. The leagues are not a comparison
Wow…..
What a wild morning.
We have got to get this next hire right.
Every single thing is here.
No better foundation for a coach to inherit.
Existing roster talent, Facilities, game-day environment, Alumni support & fan base, conference affiliation, education,location..
We are lucky to have this dude. Ignore the ridiculous national media narrative. Recruiting like we’ve never seen at A&M over a 2.5 year period, filling the roster with game breakers, all while 1/3 of his first amount of games have been against top 6 teams. We will get there.
We are officially switching to zone defense in July of '23!!
So fired up but nervous we are about to be outnumbered.
Love my sweet fam so much!
Trying to fill up that quiver and launch these babies into the world to make a positive impact.
Being a Father is a grace I cherish
Please know I’m not riding the SEC here, I think what TCU did this year was proof the playoff should expand, but playing an SEC team at full strength…week in & week out..is just different. It truly is.
It’s not top heavy. Every week is brutal.
Just see the NFL Draft every yr!
If Auburn wins this game I’m truly going to be sick.
Losing to Ole Piss and Miss St. is already tough to swallow (and watching egg bowl was a reminder of how we had NO business losing those games) but knowing we could’ve gone to SEC ship if Auburn wins, had we won vs Rebels 🤢
I just wish 1 of these homers at ESPN, just 1(excluding a few from SEC Network that actually watch A&M) would actually admit that Ohio St (6 games) & Notre Dame shouldn’t have been there and A&M got hoed. Reward the teams that earn it. Pay attention to talent level in conferences
Little man had to get tubes put in this AM at 6. Procedure went well but he’s having a hard time coming down off of the anesthesia. Prayers appreciated
It appears I was unaware of a waiting list for
@AggieBaseball
season tickets. I will definitely be joining.
Although selfishly that makes me sad, it excites me for the current and future players.
I feel a personal responsibility to give back to the school that blessed me 👍🏼
I’ve enjoyed seeing the A&M hate tonight...from dweebs on Twitter and from national writers..but here is bottom line..
It Doesn’t matter anymore. Jimbo is bringing in Top 5 classes and we are on the rise. Our culture has changed. Let them hate. You can’t stop coaching + talent
Worst loss for us in a long time.
All you need was two yards on offense and you roll left and throw short of the sticks
On 4th & 8 you rush three.
Absolutely sickening loss
I can’t tell y’all how fired up I was this morning. After church, I ran into my old strength coach from Texas A&M (Mike Clark) and his wife. This man has a heart for the Lord and all athletes he works with. Even before I was a Christian, he was planting seeds! Thankful for him!
Yesterday might have been our last family photo with just us 3. Carly Jo and I just got to the hospital and getting ready for baby boy!! Prayers appreciated! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Doc🤦🏻♂️
Sark will be gone in 3-4 years. Just like Hermann, just like Strong.
Rinse & repeat and same arrogant lame fan base stuck in the past will re-hype new guy
Please know that not a single person affiliated with A&M is the least bit concerned with anything related to Texas.
More reason to dislike Ed O and LSU (for me at least). Coach O was only coach in SEC that we played that had us outside of the Top 4. It doesn’t matter anyways, but just proves again he’s a hater
People keep tweeting me about our
#1
class or oprogram needing a rebuild.
We don’t need a rebuild. We need a new offense. We need Jimbo Fisher to humble himself and realize he has the dogs to eat but his offense won’t feed them.
We need to get healthy.
That’s it. For free 🤷🏻♂️
It’s 19-13 on the road against a perennial top 5 team. I’ve seen 4 of the worst no calls in history of football and I see A&M twitter complaining non stop......
Lord, please help our clueless fans 😔😔
People just seem to not get it.
College Football is not college basketball.
If schools like Cincy, UTSA, or even Ok. St, Baylor, Texas, wake forest played in a conference like SEC, week in and week out, they would go .500 or below.
The roster talent gap is just too big.
I have multiple friends that coach HS football in Houston area. Every single week I get calls (from some that coached against him), no exaggeration, that Connor Weigman is best kid they’ve played/coached against in years. Best part is, most of them aren’t Aggies. Kid is real deal
OU getting Florida team down 25 scholarship players and multiple future first round picks. Texas getting a depleted and absolute trash Colorado team.
They will both hype up these wins and media will do the same..but don’t be fooled by this...in meaningful games...
Big 12 is 💩
Going into this game Miss St. is the
#1
defense in country. That means in 8 games Texas A&M has played 4 of the Top 10 defenses and they still have a top 25 overall offense. SEC defenses are no joke. Full of future NFL players
