It’s a cold and rainy Wednesday morning in October. The perfect time to expose ourselves to some painful truths: since joining the SEC seven seasons ago, Texas A&M has managed to win four consecutive conference games only one time: the front half of 2016 (Auburn, Arkansas, South Carolina, Tennessee). Saturday, Jimbo Fisher will try to match that mark against a stunned (but still dangerous) Mississippi State.
It’s a hard league. The hardest around. Nothing comes easy: not even Manziel could reel off four straight SEC wins. It takes a methodical, grinding, focused approach. Something we’ve been beginning to see from this Aggie team over the past month or so.
