Texas A&M coach Mike Elko calls out cesspool fan…
Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko gave a candid review of the fan base as his staff now sits at 3-3 after dropping for the third time in 4 video games on Saturday, this time a 27-6 defeat to Missouri.
He despatched a clear shot at the fan website TexAgs.com, calling the web site a “cesspool” in his postgame feedback to the media.
“There’s a difference to me between the fan base and social media, and so there’s one group that I really don’t care much about. Billy [Liucci’s] cesspool can go be Billy’s cesspool. Our fan base: Stay with us. Be behind us. We’re going to build something. That’s what we told you we were going to build. We’re in a really bad spot right now, but we’ll work our way out of it,” Elko said.

The Aggies, who entered the season ranked eighth in the AP Top 25, are going through an underwhelming stretch of a 1-3 convention file.
“Our fan base, stay with us, be behind us. We’re going to build something that we told you we were going to build. So we’re in a really bad spot right now, but we’ll work our way out of it,” Elko said.
Texas A&M has now misplaced three of their last 4 video games and sit 14th in the SEC.

Site co-owner Billy Liucci didn’t take the response too severely, understanding where Elko was coming from as the coach appeared like any big-name coach coming off a unhealthy loss.
“It was just (the) wrong time and wrong audience to be saying that, the way the season is going,” Liucci said. “It’s never a time to call out the fans, especially when it’s a large, loyal portion of your fanbase. … I’m the target often on social media, even on my own message boards, but the criticism just comes with it. It comes with having opinions, coaching, and having high-profile positions and high-profile schools.”
The TexAgs website was based in 1997 and grew to change into the biggest impartial fan website in faculty sports activities, and with 1000’s of paying subscribers, makes it one of the biggest fan websites in the world.

The web page is more notable for a player-benefits scandal that ended Oklahoma quarterback Rhett Bomar’s NCAA eligibility for the Sooners in 2006 originating from a post on the location.
The Aggies and Elko look to get back in the followers’ good graces next week with a much-needed victory against the Citadel.
