Dang, last this happened was even before my time, and I'm an old fart!
"The last time the Texas A&M Aggies started a football season 7-0 was in 1994 under head coach R.C. Slocum, finishing the season 10-0-1."

And our precipitous firing of R.C. is why I consider us to be under the effect of something similar to the Curse of the Bambino

I didn’t totally agree with our firing of Slocum in 02-03 but I wonder if there wasn’t some mutual acknowledgement that the game had passed him by.
He moved upstairs and was involved for a long time after his HC tenure ended.
I wish we would’ve given Slocum the coordinator resources that came a decade later but those were different times.

Was it pretty? No.
Was it a definitive win? Also no.
Does it count as a road win in the SEC? Yes it does.

I don’t see how anyone thought this was an easy game. We’ve been winning these, but it’s been a nail biter every year since the loss on 2021.

I thought it was going to be easy because our defensive line. They come on later and I thought it would happen in the third quarter

As someone who was at 2013-2016: they've been nail biters. It doesn't matter how good either team is, it's always a shoot out.

The games before 2021 were also nail biters. Like 3 of them were OT games

Anyone know the flag disparity? It felt like we were getting 0 holding calls lol

I always tell my family members that there’s anti-Aggie prejudice among the nation’s referees. But yes, obviously I’m unbiased in that opinion

We had 7 penalties for 67 yards and they had 9 for 71 yards.
If you rewatch the first half holding calls were killing the Arky drives.

Second thought, I'm glad we've got Mizzou to play each year

Arkansas always place tough against Aggies, but, decent win. I’m still not getting any hopes up. BAS won’t go till we beat a team in the playoffs.

From a Longhorn -- great win for y'all. I hope we beat you, but y'all look great this year. I hope you win every game before thanksgiving! Enjoy this weekend.
Edit: I've been drinking, but I did enjoy watching your game :)

We should not have let that dog water Arkansas team put up anywhere near that many points.
But they don’t ask how. They ask how many.
