I think one thing worse than BAS is not being able to be happy unless everyone feels the exact same as you do. So, you know, glass houses and what not...

If we win tomorrow my BAS will be cured

If we lose: curse confirmed

Truly entertaining thread.

The bickering and over analyzing normal fan expressions as some kind of personality disorder, the presumption that people are miserable, and prescription to get high.

Gig'em!

This thread almost has it all. Im a fan

You obviously haven't been around long enough to actually understand what BAS is. It's actually getting sweet talked back into believing things are different this time, they've changed, they won't let me down again! But then ultimately the shoe drops and you're left not only disappointed, but feeling stupid for believing again. See: 8-0 last season.

I'm genuinely happy for you new army kids that cant understand the heartbreak of the last 30 years. I'm envious. But don't go acting like BAS isn't well earned by the folks that have loved this program for a lot longer than you.

I've been around a long time. I sure ain't "new army" whatever "new army" might mean to you.

I see pushback on my post telling me to lighten up its just jokes and such. But then I read you telling me its real and earned, and makes you feel stupid over and over again. Fair play to you if you want to be defines by "the heartbreak of the last 30 years." But that was more or less my point. That you can let yourself be defined by it or decide not to be defined by it. Everyone must decide for themselves I suppose.

I thought mine was cured when I finally saw us blow out LSU in Death Valley. It came back at halftime vs So Car. Then the team finally put it 6 feet under with that come back. Even if we lose today, I think I am past it. This team and coaching staff is just built different.

Exactly! This is what I can't understand about posters such as yourself who feel the need whine about people not feeling the exact same way as they do. I'm glad to see you've come around though. This is a big step towards growth, and I dare to say, I'm proud of you!

If it brings you and others like you so much heartbreak and misery why the hell do you even bother watching?

This team did everything it needed to do to get to the PLAYOFFS. The path to the ultimate prize and yall are still squawking BAS....BAS like a bunch of parrots.

Go out and smoke some weed or if you already do..stop.

You just don't understand the irritation and bs coming from Texas fans (that are your coworkers, friends, and family) that will come for the next 364 days if Texas upsets the Aggies "best season in 30 years."

---

Ha. Yeah it's something only you can understand. Try upgrading your friends, ignore your co-workers or smack back and don't invite your sip family to Christmas dinner.

Or try whining over and over about BAS to them and they may look at you pathetically and leave you alone.

you are an idiot.

Our perfect season being spoiled by the likes of the sips is just too difficult to stomach for me.

If we win, great. Lose and BAS will shoot up.

It will take an NC to cure me of BAS.

Good grief.

Somewhere along the way "BAS " changed from being a humorous observation about expecting the other show to somehow fall for Aggie football to some sort of identity marker for some Aggies.

Honestly feel like some of us secretly WANT to see us lose this game so they can wallow in "my BAS!"

We could win the national championship and there will be a set of folks who after one loss next year will say "See? It's back! BAS strikes again!

It's not enough to be an Aggie. For some they must be "Battered Aggies" I guess.

How old are you? Seems like you didn't experience the Fran and Sherman years...

USC game killed bas

I wonder how many of those with sever cases BAS believe deep down that we will lose this game. Probably most of them.

I know that to control my BAS from flaring up again, I am expecting a loss and will be happily surprised if the team pulls it off.

If I could gif my BAS, it would be the scene from Indiana Jones where they reach into that dudes chest and pull out his heart....

I thought they were going to burn me vs SCe, but just toyed with my emotions. I'm trying to set myself up for whatever happens today!
