Things were already extremely grim in College Station after Texas A&M fell to 3-3 on the season with a 27-6 loss at Missouri on Saturday, but Aggies head coach Mike Elko found a way to make things far, far worse moments after the final whistle.

Elko → seem → it
During his postgame press conference on Saturday following Texas A&M's three-score loss to Missouri, Elko was asked what he would say to the team's fans who are losing faith in the team.
asserted
who → follow → team
Instead of delivering a short and sweet, coach-speak-filled answer, Elko opted to alienate one portion of the fan base that just so happens to be the most passionate and most influential fans in all of Aggie land.
asserted
that → deliver → land

The "Billy's cesspool" that Elko is referring to is the TexAgs website, which is operated by executive editor Billy Liucci, who has been covering the Aggies since before the turn of the 21st century.
asserted
who → refer → century
TexAgs is unequivocally one of the most-followed and well-known online communities and message boards in all of college football, with over 350,000 followers across X and Facebook alone, on top of thousands more paid subscribers to the website.
asserted
TexAgs → follow → website
Anyone who knows anything about Texas A&M athletics knows about TexAgs, its content, and its community; therefore, Elko taking aim at those hundreds of thousands of fans is a head-scratching decision, to put it mildly.
asserted
taking → know → it
The fact that Elko, minutes after his team fell to 3-3 and had its season virtually ended, had "Billy's cesspool" isn't exactly going to ease tension in College Station or within his program.
asserted
season → fall → program
The Aggies still have trips to Alabama and Oklahoma on their schedule, along with a matchup with Tennessee and Texas before their season-to-forget wraps up.
asserted
season → have → Tennessee
