Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko just went off, straight up calling out local media outlet TexAgs after his team’s rough 27-6 loss to No. 14 Missouri on Saturday. He wasn’t holding back when he addressed the fan frustration, drawing a clear line in the sand between the real Aggie faithful and the online noise.
Elko Rips Into “Billy’s Cesspool”
Listen, the man did not mince words. Elko made it crystal clear he sees a difference between the passionate fans and the social media chatter. “There’s a difference to me between the fan base and social media,” Elko said, according to Carter Karels of On3.com. And then he dropped the hammer, flat-out saying, “So there’s one group that I really don’t care much about. Billy’s cesspool (at TexAgs) can go be Billy’s cesspool.” That’s a direct hit, folks! He then rallied the actual fanbase, telling them to “stay with us, be behind us. We’re going to build something that we told you we were going to build.” It’s a promise, but it’s also a serious challenge to the media pushing negativity.
3-3 Is Tough, But Elko Is Fighting
The frustration from the fans isn’t coming out of nowhere, either. The Aggies are sitting at a shaky 3-3 on the season after Saturday’s defeat. That loss to Missouri was their third in the last four games, and every single one of those three defeats has been by a double-digit scoring margin. That’s a tough pill to swallow for any fanbase. Elko knows they’re in a tough spot, admitting, “So we’re in a really bad spot right now, but we’ll work our way out of it.” It sounds like the coach is putting his head down and getting to work, trying to right the ship and bring the team back to where he promised they’d be.
