For years, Texas A&M has been one of the more underachieving programs in college football. The sleeping giant who never seems to fully wake up. Every time A&M seemed to be on the cusp of elevating the program, disaster would strike. It has come in many forms over the years, from the blown halftime leads of the 2011 season under Mike Sherman, to the hot starts and November collapses that came to define the Kevin Sumlin era. But for members of the Aggie internet, it has been succinctly defined as “Battered Aggie Syndrome” (BAS). Put simply, Aggies are always on alert for the worst to strike, and feel all too familiar when it inevitably does.
