The Aggies did everything they could to lose. But they had a great deal of help from the lousy personal foul call that let the Longhorns get within field goal range.

Officials should not be the ones to decide the outcome of the game.

76-37-5. The Zebras did not cost the Aggies that many games.

And yes, when you are the team that financially carries the conference, you get a few good calls.

At Kyle Field any team goes in 6 points down. The Ags have choked all year long. It got really funny. When they would get substantial leads they seemed to yak up on their cleats. 79-37-5....not that competitive over the long haul. Sad Ags....Woops.

The officials were just enforcing a horrible rule. The defender led with the top of his helmet on the “hit” so technically it was a penalty. The game of football has been reduced to tiddly winks.

The Longhorn defense DEE# along with the Aggies el foldo history were the reasons for their defeat. Blaming your team’s defeat on your erroneous perception of a bad personal foul call is ridiculous. There was a clear head to head shot on the receiver. The corner or safety may have tried to avoid it or lessen it but nevertheless it was there. Under the rules that is a penalty. We can argue that the rules are creating flag football but you can’t argue with the interpretation. Plus that call did not get the ‘Horns in field goal range, McCoy’s run did

So quit your typical Aggie whining about blaming the refs for your sad swan song.
