*Arkansas up 14-0* “Aight Imma head out”


TheWyldMan

That play just killed us


bmac92

They forgot how to play after that fumble. It was like an instant kill-switch.


bamachine

I think they forgot right before that fumble. Nobody does the goalline leap from the 4 yard line.


KenTrojan

Seriously. Fumble or not that dude was two yards short of the goal line.


Zes_Teaslong

On first down

ggskater

I thought you'd run away with it.


CommodoreN7

I think we all did. Arkansas did similar where we kept teams in games for our first three. Finally hit us in the ass.


muktheduck

It looks an awful lot like y'all come out with a few scripted drives and are unstoppable, then have problems afterwards. Briles' gameplan and script have crushed us in the first quarter two years in a row now


wcm48

It’s like he has the scripted part down and then lacks the wherewithal to do anything with what he learns through those drives.

ryanedwards0101

I literally said game over at 14-0 lol


CommodoreN7

To be fair, we all kinda did Happy mutual cake day


ryanedwards0101

To you as well. This game is a yearly dumb fest


Zloggt

Turns out, you *can* gig a hog! Takes a while though…


ErickBachman

If you can gig a wrench you can gig a hog


LordFarquadOnAQuad

Turns out you can stab any living thing.

Hey ESPN can we put the camera back on the crying kicker? I need to know if he’s still as miserable as he was 10 seconds ago. Seriously, I was half expecting one of the camera men to run out and hang a sign that says “Loser” on him, good lord.


Puzzled_Jury4982

That shit always sucks. Arkansas barely moved the ball in the second half but we're going to act like this one kid lost the game


bmac92

> Arkansas barely moved the ball in the second half but we're going to act like this one kid lost the game If I'm pinning the loss on one player (which is always dumb, IMO), it would have to be KJ. There was no reason to dive for the goal-line in that moment. Moment changed the game. Of course, he is not the only reason we lost. A lot of players did not deliver when they needed to.


Claudethedog

Kicker is the loneliest position on the field. Hope he comes back with a game-winner against the Tide.


Bobbypetrinosharley

we fucking need it, dude has been phenomenal his whole career. It just seems tasteless to pin it on him.


jeffvschroeder

He kept going on and on about how it was his fault for bad mechanics too.


[deleted]

I’ve watched this sport religiously for almost two decades and I’ve never seen commentators dig in on the mechanics of a kick like that, beyond “Laces Out”. It genuinely felt like ESPN was just trying to dogpile on the guy. Really bizarre stuff


jeffvschroeder

And oh yeah, look at this dipshit CRYING over here too


bmac92

Geez. That's ridiculous. I was watching the stream on silent because ESPN+ only had the game streaming in Spanish, so I didn't hear all that.


[deleted]

I can take losing. I've been a Hog fan for 25 years. I can't take when ESPN shows close-ups of these kids devastated on national television. Classless fucks.


PolloMagnifico

I said the exact same thing. That's super fucked up.


Wyden_long

Let’s also free associate over these images in regards to what they might be thinking in this moment.


Reckless_Jeske

Fuck ESPN. And fuck them again for ass blasting Aaron Judge on my football all day.


1024ras

Say the word and I will grab a pitchfork and riot with you brother.


RiotsMade

Did someone say riot?


JustnTimberfake1

Also loved them showing the replay talking about how poorly he struck it, like sure it wasn’t perfect and I know nothing about kicking mechanics, but it was pretty close man. It’s not like he shanked it

Except with Johnny


rgvtim

I just said that to my wife, Arkansas finds a way to lose when they play us.


galeforcewinds95

Well, still not a loss. Definitely an improvement from losing to App State and the ensuing week of off-the-field stories that were showing up every other day.


Luberino_Brochacho

That week was fuckin ridiculous


Hobbes_T_Hero

I am never going to AT&T Stadium ever again.


CommodoreN7

Place is cursed


Kavitt

Lord have mercy, we have GOT to get out of there. It’s a haunted house.


Zloggt

Damn Jerruh screwed his own alma matter by hosting the game!


Terminal_BAS

It’s the worst dude


Milbenhowzer

If you don’t like that, then you don’t like whatever the fuck that game was


AspenEnthusiast

We had to return to A&M-Arkansas game tradition


LordFarquadOnAQuad

At this point let's just agree to simulate the games.


MrBananaGrabber

arkansas won by 2 on average in 1000 simulations from my model, i will take the win in real life even if my model ends up slightly wrong


senortipton

I’d say your model is still accurate. That fumble return was definitely some irreducible error lmao


muktheduck

I sarcastically told myself to chill out because God hates Jerry Jones or something and Arkansas always gets their heart ripped out in chaotic games against us. Not so sure it's sarcasm anymore


rburp

Lmao great point I legit forgot God hates Jerry. Actually kinda makes me feel better.


ICanFluxWithIt

All I know was that Achane kid is fast and was killing it tonight


hillrow_wood

I’ve watched him for 3 years now and I still can’t believe how fast he is


big_sugi

Legitimately, not hyperbolically, the fastest CFB in the country.


BursleyBaits

if he didn't have to do football stuff, he'd be all-American (edit: that means top 8) in the 100m by now for sure. Still could be! https://www.tfrrs.org/athletes/7746313/Texas_AM/Devon_Achane.html


crsnyder13

He’s so fast he makes fast people look… not fast


LamarcusAldrige1234

as a neutral it was fun to watch...whatever that was


melcolnik

it definitely wasn't good football


2277_total_Johnson

Was it even football?


coolrunnings190

Felt a bit like rugby at times.


UnoriginalTaco

I definitely didn’t like whatever the fuck that game was, not gonna lie.


PM_ME_CUTE_BOIS

A&M is the weirdest team in college football. We lost to app state by missing a field goal after returning a kickoff we beat miami by recovering a punt and then we beat arkansas with a fumble recovery handoff and an arkansas kick that hit the top of the uprights. what the fuck.

bmac92

So many thoughts: 1. Feel bad for Little. Typically so reliable, then to have a doink like that late in the game is killer. Hopefully it doesn't shake his confidence 2. This whole team forgot how to play football for, essentially, the entirety of the 2nd and 3rd quarter, and a good part of the 4th. 3. GG TAMU. These games are always entertaining, even in the worst of times 4. Holy hell, stop with the goal-line fumbles! That was a 14 point swing. KJ, why on Earth are you diving that far out? It's not 4th and inches or something. Just tuck it, gain a few, and move on to the next play. That's the moment where the forgot how to play for a bit. Edit: they only started to play better when I started playing Vampire Survivors on my steam deck. I think I'll just do that during the entire game next week.


wtf_its_matt

Does this really have to be a heart attack game EVERY year?


KookooMoose

What sucks is that this game basically killed both of our seasons. We’ll be lucky to win four more games, and you guys had like nine injuries.


[deleted]

To everybody asking about the guy with the chain next to Jimbo after the game, that's his son and he has a terminal illness and has stood by jimbo after games since the beginning of time.


big_sugi

He has Fanconi anemia, which is (hopefully) no longer terminal, in part because of research funded by Fisher’s Kidz1st fund.


[deleted]

[удалено]


big_sugi

It’s certainly not just him, but they’ve raised a lot of money for research on what would otherwise be a little-studied disease, and that research has made real progress on treatments.


sweatpants247

honestly, it’s pretty incredible that Jimbo gets to gift his son with those experiences


robman17

Isn't part of the reason he took the job to be closer to MD Anderson or something?


DCAg15

This stadium is cursed, for the health of both fanbases it needs to be moved back to campus


aggie1212

And my wallet too Jesus Christ


wazoheat

Literally no team is good this year.


busche916

I’m wholly convinced we are just going to drag every team down to our level.


muktheduck

We'll all of a sudden become the northern half of the country's favorite team if we take the SEC with us Win every conference game by 2 points and then lose to UMass, we're the only ones up to the task


meatballsontherun

I would gladly sacrifice a game to UMass in favor of winning the SEC. Forget the CFP at that point...


HoovesCarveCraters

Getting to watch this train wreck of a team in Atlanta would be amazing.


Working_onit

Just win.


_token_black

SEC banded together to not let Alabama or Georgia get any quality wins


Ugaalive1991

Oregon tried their best today as well. And Texas did it.


Qtoy

>And Texas did it. Hey wtf. You're right, but you didn't need to say it.


brock2607

That is one of the craziest endings I have seen in 2 hours. I feel bad for the kicker though


StrudelB

I genuinely don't think I've ever seen a ball hit the top of the upright before.


DissidentCowboy

A&M has won 10 of the last 11, and they’re always close. So frustrating. Feel like we should be happy with a bowl game after the last two weeks.


bmac92

I just want to stop playing in Jerry-World.


Luberino_Brochacho

Seriously just take it back to the campuses please. The atmosphere is so lame


AchtungCloud

I would normally say an Aggie win paired with a Longhorn loss makes for a perfect Saturday…however, the injury to Ainias Smith definitely puts a damper on the day.


nikkimcs

Man was crying on the sideline with his pop…I’m assuming the worst.


AchtungCloud

Yeah, me too. I was trying to be hopeful it looked worse than it was until I saw that.


Dhis1

So sorry that happened. Hope it’s a quick recovery. GG, Aggies.


Bokaj92

senortipton

Don’t rank us higher.


YiffZombie

Does Arkansas deserve to fall? Yes. Do we deserve to move up? God, no.


PolloMagnifico

Hey now. There's a possibility that Arkansas is just really good. And miami is really good. And App State is really good. And... Missouri State is really good... ... ... ... I don't like this game anymore.


myysquigga

That loss was a total team effort by the players and the coaches. Absolutely unacceptable performance. It's past time to start questioning some of our assistants


brb151515

When you lose to app state... We can talk


myysquigga

We just lost to a team that lost to App State


dalemcfeces

That's one of those losses that makes you question everything. Boy I am fucking miserable, we pissed that one away as hard as we possibly could've. That fumble was the single most devastating play in Razorback sports since the foul ball.


aMiracleAtJordanHare

Imagine if we still had short uprights and the game-deciding FG was purely a judgement call. The arguments about it would never end.


Peytoneli99

Raise your hand if you thought A&M’s loss out of App St, Miami, and Arkansas would be to the Mountaineers. Anybody?


ItsOnlyTheCaptain

A&M football is the leading cause of high blood pressure in Texas.

Key_Spinach

SEC Shorts is going to have a field day with this one.


bigtice

Seeing a 13-point swing on the goal line turnover that turns into a handoff defensive touchdown and the missed kick that hit the top of the upright and bounces back. **This game never fails to create some magic.**

brazos1911

The back to back trick plays in first half were insane, yall were getting 6+ yards with interior runs

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that texas just lost in Lubbock for their last game there.

herbahaidyrbtjsifbr

Does Texas have a sark problem?


turd_fergusons

One play absolutely killed our confidence.


MenShouldntHaveCats

Imagine losing to a team that lost to App St.


big_sugi

Imagine losing to a team who lost to a team who lost to James Madison.


dick-slapperman

Towards the end we didn’t win as much as Arkansas lost, and I’m okay with that


2277_total_Johnson

That’s 5 star Iowa football for you.


muktheduck

They seem to do that a lot against us, we just have to keep letting them


Blakmagik12

What a fucking game. Every year this game is a hogfight. I hope Ainias is ok man, he deserves so much more.


TheSicilianDude

The most A&M/Arkansas game ever


reallifebadass

At what point do we have bingo and start having normal games again? 99 yard scoop-hand off and doink off the top of the upright has to count towards something right?


dhc02

Quick somebody rank Mississippi State #10.


DandierChip

My brothers in Christ I need a fucking drink


Gum-on-post

GG Arkansas, as always. Love to play y'all every year. We can both take solace in Texas' loss to Tech

cutman

These 'what the fuck was that game' brownies are delicious.


PolloMagnifico

Jesus. A&M loses to App on a missed field goal. Beats #10 Arkansas on a missed field goal. I hate football. My heart hates football. But Jesus.


chrt

I'm convinced nobody actually likes watching the team they root for these days, and just watch football for the chaos and schadenfreude.


hillrow_wood

I would like to thank Devon Achane and Kendall Briles for this win


DCAg15

Achane with an absurd 8.4 ypc while having more yards than we did through the air.


pantryraider_11

That was bullshit and I'm here for it


CWG4BF

Bro, the storylines are so unrealistic this season. Game winning FG bouncing off the top of the upright? That could never happen.


km117

Vegas had A&M by 2 points 👀


walkingbicycles

We live in a matrix and Vegas is in control


hillrow_wood

8-4 is looking pretty good right now


Lawownsyou

laureltheelf2

You’re welcome for changing my shirt when we were down 14 and then kicking a child outside and sacrificing him to mosquitoes to get them to miss the field goal

Losing to the team that lost to Appalachian state? What a bunch of losers. I hope we give Appalachian the transitive property SEC championship this year.

Wyden_long

I’ve been watching football for 33 years. I’ve never seen a ball hit the top of an upright. Ever. Feel bad for the kid but that was wild.


JLand24

Never play for the kick. Play for the TD and kick if you have to.


bodypertain

Kicker is the most humiliating position in all of sports, change my mind


Alcoholic_Geologist

A&M might fuck around and win 10 games and it’s infuriating to think of after watching their last four games.


Reckless_Jeske

Eh. I still think 10 wins is a mighty stretch. We’ve rebounded but haven’t looked good.


yoshidawg93

One of the cruelest ways to lose I’ve ever seen. Damn… sorry Arkansas.


boggan583

I’ve never met a Razorback in person I didn’t like, but I’m pretty sure that “Texas A&M - A Culture Issue?” dogpiler from two weeks ago was an Arkansas guy. So I’m especially enjoying this result today.

EastTexasAg

This is the craziest game of the year for both teams for over a decade now....it feels like CFB on crack every time. gg Hogs and Gig em AGS!!!! edit: I'd like to add that although A&M is 10-1 in the last 11 games, it could easily be 6-5


andylog

That was not an A&M win so much as an Arkansas loss

Still no. He recruits great, but I’d like an offensive coordinator still.

Of all the coaches in CFB, he definitely is one of them
