Texas A&M fans and SEC fans alike are going to have a field day with this one.

Texas A&M dominated against Missouri 41-10 earlier in the season to give them their first loss in 2024.

Alabama made matters even worse for Missouri fans handing them a 34-0 rout, with basically nothing going well for the Tigers.

After the Tigers won in a miracle finish over Oklahoma, Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz had a little too much fun with it.

Missouri's Eli Drinkwitz: The win keeps us in the playoff hunt

We already knew this wasn't going to go over well for him.

Getting into the playoff is already a Christmas wishlist for Missouri. They would have to hope for more losses from Texas A&M, Alabama, Georgia, Texas and Tennessee. This is a pretty big ask, but it also makes us think if Drinkwitz was even aware of his situation. Or, was he just too excited in the heat of the moment.

This is extremely bold for Drinkwitz to say, also a bit careless.

Many college football fans and pundits have been having fun with his statement.

Joel Klatt from Fox Sports couldn't keep it in, he just had to comment on Drinkwitz's statement.

Klatt wasn't done there. He even gave Texas A&M and Alabama their flowers and added on Drinkwitz's extreme statement.

"This Missouri team has gone on the road two times this year in the SEC and have lost by a combined 75-10...hahaha...come on, guy," Klatt said.

In the SEC, you have to be able to win on the road and Missouri has not proven that.

As for Texas A&M, they played as perfect of a first half that anybody could've asked. The offense was completely in sync, and Missouri never had a chance. The Tiger defense couldn't stop Jalen Milroe.

It took a miracle for them to beat Oklahoma, but A&M doesn't care about that. The Ags have bigger and better things to worry about this month of November.
