The Texas A&M Aggies college football program is exactly where it needs to be, with the right players and staff in place thanks to head coach. That said, coach Elko definitely embarrassed himself this week with his comments on the state of college athletics.
COLLEGE STATION, TX --- The No. 24 Texas A&M Aggies were able to keep a goose egg in the loss column with an 8-3 victory over the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders Tuesday night in front of the home crowd at Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park.
The college football world is one that is constantly changing, from NIL deals to the transfer portal to recruiting and constant rule changes, there are so many variables that shape a school's season.
The Texas A&M Aggies had been rolling through the middle part of the season, scoring four straight conference wins, while sitting with a 17-4 record, and throughout their first eight SEC games had built a 7-1 conference record and sat alone at the top of the SEC standings.
A new era has taken over Texas A&M football, and seemingly, it's for the better.

The Texas A&M Aggies were one of the stories of college football this past season, storming to an undefeated start and one of their best years in program history.
The first year under new head coach Michael Earley was a challenging one for the Texas A&M Aggies. After one year removed from making the College World Series, Texas A&M finished the 2025 season with a 30-26 overall record and a disappointing 11-19 record in SEC play.
A sweep was inevitable during Texas A&M's opening weekend on the diamond against the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles, and the way that they eventually accomplished said sweep was simply astounding.
The Texas A&M Aggies entered the 2026 season with fewer expectations than the previous season. Starting as the number 25-ranked team in the country, head coach Michael Earley and his team knew they would have to prove themselves this year.
The Texas A&M Aggies haven't slowed down from a strong 2025 season, translating that success on the field into a tidal wave of momentum off the field to set up their 2027 recruiting class.
To say it's been a runaway through two games for the Texas A&M Aggies in 2026 would be quite the understatement, especially after the walloping earlier today against the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles.
Unfortunately, Texas A&M's recent struggles on the basketball court can no longer be classified as just "a rough stretch." The Aggies dropped their fourth straight SEC game with their most recent loss to the No.
The Texas A&M Aggies entered the 2026 season with tempered expectations, completely different from the 2025 season where they were the pre-season ranked number one team in the country.
