From Jesse Gary, graduate Class of 2003
I started at A&M in the fall of 2000, a time when I could at least expect our football team to be ranked, finish with a winning record, and go to a bowl game. I attended every minute of every home game, stood in the student section and screamed my lungs out, but every year we seemed to regress. Now, I expect the worst; no matter the opponent, I assume we will find a way to lose. I can't even enjoy college football anymore. I dread Saturdays, and I just want this season to end. All I have to look forward to is hoping Texas loses (which they rarely do). It's not only embarrassing for the football program and the athletic program; it's embarrassing for the school. We have the money, the facilities, the history, the fan base; the only thing we're missing is wins. It's fairly obvious that this team just doesn't care or prepare. There's no other way to explain a 62-14 loss to a mediocre-at-best KSU squad. I've expended so much time and energy and emotion supporting Aggie football, trying never to quit or give up, but it's difficult when the team quits and gives up. So for now, I'm done. I'm done caring about A&M football. If anyone attempts to continue supporting this sorry excuse for a football team, I both admire and pity you. Enjoy another wasted season filled with crushing defeats and lowered expectations. If and when this team decides to show up at regain a pulse, I'll jump back in, but until then, I'm not going to care until this team does.
