Texas A&M is experiencing some of its best days in school history. One of the only obstacles left is to beat Texas and even the score from last season.
Texas A&M's biggest scares came early and late into the season, when they had to beat Notre Dame on their last breath, to their last option, Nate Boekircher. The South Carolina game, we hope never happens again, but the Aggies made history coming back from 27 points.
Texas A&M offensive lineman Ar'maj Reed-Adams knows exactly what's at stake in the Texas game, but he's reminding fans to have a calmer approach and treat Texas like everybody else.
Ar'Maj Reed-Adams says the most important game is always the next one
During player availability, Reed-Adams was calm, cool and collected about the Texas game. Why? You know, it's just another game.
"It's the biggest game of the season because it's the next game of the season. "Ar'Maj Reed-Adams
This is the same approach that fans should have. Yes, everything on paper says the Aggies beat the Longhorns, but games aren't played on paper. Rivalry games are played on the field.
While the Aggies have a chance to go to 12-0 on the season, the fans should act in the same manner as Reed-Adams. One game at a time, and let's treat it like such. Good for Reed-Adams not taking the bait and staying true to the challenge.
Some might say that Reed-Adams is downplaying the rivalry, but that's not it at all. In fact, this is the perfect way to look at it. The next game is always the biggest, just like athletes are often judged for their last performance. As they say, your next game is always as good as your last.
This is a great approach for a rivalry game, but most of all, it's a crucial game, and if Texas A&M goes to 12-0, fans can brag and celebrate all they want.
