COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Sickness. Disgust. Disbelief. Anger.
Those were some of the feelings Texas A&M players and coaches had when they left Tuscaloosa, Alabama, last season in utter shock after being handed a 59-0 beatdown by the Crimson Tide. It was a jarring defeat unlike any Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin had experienced in his coaching career, and unique for just about everyone else involved, too.
Some tried to forget about it. But many couldn't.
"It was a feeling of embarrassment, to be on a national TV stage and be beat like that," quarterback Kyle Allen, now a sophomore, said.
