Due to covid outbreak. Someone is needed to take their place. Could we get ready in time. Doubt it. Aggies have had nine practices. Saw it on the noon news.
Link? What I read was they cancelled football operations (practice) but are still playing in the bowl game.

Wait…the team that prides themselves for the 12th man runs out of people. Most Aggie move ever besides the self proclaimed nattys.
The texag reactions are hilarious, and typically aggy. One dude responded that his intramural team was able to field a team with several out, that they all went both ways. Why can't the football team?
Give all the bowl money to Wake Forest... Clearly by their recruiting class the Aggies don't need it.
My guess is this has more to do with calzada entering the portal than Covid. Because with him gone they literally have no qb for the bowl game. That was going to be a huge issue. They just jumped on the Covid train to get themselves out of a difficult situation. Typical Aggie move.
9 days away and these gooners can't play because of covid? What a bunch of losers. I guess they didn't want their #1 recruiting class of all time ever and ever to be exposed to the aggy meltdown when they lose to Wake.
Aggy smart to get that LSU qb transfer as I doubt King finishes the year healthy and Weigman wouldn’t be ready.
Hilarious. Aggy so pathetically fake. Calcazada with cheese and niedermyer not playing lol,” we just can’t play in time”….they took a team vote probably after they got their swag. Is this what they call Rough,Tough, Real Stuff??
No, Gladius and Pilum in the video above personify aggy "rough tough real stuff". For your own peace of mind just don't inquire about what they stuff or where.
This is about the SEC not wanting any of its teams to get Florida'd this year. Aggy had starting QB who left in the portal and several starters on defense opt out for the NFL and with the covid impact even just on practices let alone lost players for the game they are set up to get beat. Aggy could play if they wanted to but like Florida last year in the Cotton Bowl would probably get embarrassed by a full strength Wake team that has a really good offense and the SEC is all about protecting its image and wasnt going to let it happen two years in a row.
Same poster started a thread that said take the loss, aggy is 8-5. Of course they deleted the thread.
let them play with the available players that are still on roster......but that would result in a loss that Ags don't want to admit to. Better to lose via forfeit than compete and get experience for your younger players.??????? Maybe there should be a rule that all players, unless injured, must complete full season.....no one gets to opt out to trans, portal od declare for $$$$$!!!!!
