Baylor Fans' Bowl Obsession with Texas A&M
2024-12-09
Whoever manages the Baylor football X account likely didn't envision their Sunday unfolding this way. Selection Sunday for the College Football Playoff arrived, and the committee's picks were met with hours of complaints about the seemingly incorrect decisions. It's become a national tradition at this point. Then came the bowl selection process, with rumored matchups and initial excitement, but things soon became more defined.
Baylor Football Fans' Unwavering Affection for the Aggies
Bowl Selection Day and the Bears' Destination
The Baylor X account, knowing they wouldn't make the College Football Playoff, decided to ask fans a simple question: where will the Bears go bowling? This sparked a flurry of responses. 1: The fans' replies were more focused on the opponents rather than the specific bowl. One response stood out: "Texas A&M or riot. Play at a high school stadium in Temple." It showed the intense passion and anticipation among the fans. 2: The most likely matchup, the Texas Bowl in Houston matching Big 12 and SEC schools, received precious few straightforward answers. Instead, the majority shouted out the Aggies by name, like "H-TOWN BABY BRING ON THE AGGIES" and "Texas Bowl vs TAMU maxxing!!!"The Aggies' Surprise and Reaction
Texas A&M fans were somewhat taken aback by the attention directed their way. One fan commented, "I had no idea Baylor still played football. Congrats fam!" It highlighted the unexpected nature of the situation. 1: Despite the Baylor fans' fervent desire for a showdown with the Aggies, the Bears will actually be playing LSU in Houston, while the Aggies face Southern Cal in Las Vegas. 2: This response has set the stage for Baylor fans to view their game as a referendum on whether they can beat A&M based on the Aggies' earlier season result against the Tigers. It adds an extra layer of excitement and anticipation to the upcoming match.
