Instead of worrying about Ohio State, Texas fans obsessing over A&M practice clips

Some clips from Texas A&M football practice began to make the rounds yesterday, showing Marcel Reed and some of the Aggie receivers during warmups throwing and catching. Carter Karels of 247Sports tweeted out the following video after the media's allotted time at practice, and his tweet went somewhat viral, garnering over 160 shares and more than one thousand likes:

This is not what you would call elite-level reps by any means, but I think it should be fairly obvious to anyone watching that they were not meant to be. If you're a distance runner, and you go on a warmup jog before stretching and going on your real run, you're not going as hard as you would be later in the workout— it's obvious to anyone who has done any kind of exercise in their lives that this is the case.

That did not stop Texas fans, for some reason, from descending on this tweet like vultures. This is puzzling on several fronts, obviously, not least of which is the point that I just made: these were not meant to be high-effort reps. You can see the receivers just jogging!

It's just a bit odd that they're all attempting to dunk on a warmup period of practice for another team who they try so hard to make everyone think they don't care about! This doesn't exactly scream "apathy"— it comes across more like a fixation.

Doesn't Texas have this huge opener on the road in a couple of weeks, too? I know that if the Aggies had a highly-ranked matchup to open the year like that, they wouldn't be passing around practice clips of their rival like this. It's just a bit of a sad mentality when you should have bigger things to worry about.

I guess you can never miss a chance to make a mountain out of a molehill when you're a Texas fan. Any pub is good pub, as they say, so I'm unbothered from an Aggies perspective.
