How Many Aggies Does It Take to Change a Transfer Portal?
Texas A&M and the transfer portal. A match made in...well, not exactly heaven these days. Aggie fans, we all know the drill. Ever since the portalcalypse (yes, that's a technical term), keeping track of who's leaving for greener pastures has become a full-time job.
So, the burning question is: just how many players have hit the dusty trails this year?
The Great Transfer Portal Escape: Keeping Score (Because Apparently No One Else Is)
Here at AggieLand A&M Gazette (totally a legit news source, trust us), we decided to crunch some numbers. Now, these aren't your typical, boring statistics. We've factored in scientific calculations (okay, maybe a healthy dose of Aggie optimism), plus a sprinkle of "undisclosed reasons" (because let's be real, the truth is out there somewhere).
After some intense calculations (and possibly a swig of Maroon Moose), we've determined the Aggies have lost a whopping...
...drumroll please...
**...**well, this is where it gets tricky. The number seems to fluctuate depending on who you ask and what kind of social media frenzy is happening that hour. But fear not, Aggie fans, we've got a range! Let's say somewhere between a heartbreaking 13 players (sniff) and a back-breaking 18 players (argh!).
Look, here's the important part: whatever the exact number, it's definitely less than... (insert rival team here, preferably Alabama) ...right?
Transfer Portal Blues? Aggie Up!
We know, we know. This whole transfer portal thing can be enough to make even the most loyal Aggie fan shed a tear. But hey, chin up! Here's why we shouldn't be hitting the panic button just yet:
- Maybe it's all part of the master plan? Coach Elko is known for his defensive magic. Maybe he's just prepping for a smaller, faster, more bad-to-the-bone Aggie squad (cue dramatic music).
- The transfer portal is a two-way street. While some players are leaving, Aggieland has also been busy picking up some incredible talent. We're talking game-changers, folks!
- At least it's not. (whispers) .Alabama.
So there you have it, Aggie fans. The transfer portal giveth and the transfer portal taketh away. But through it all, remember this: Aggie spirit is strong. We'll weather this storm, welcome some new heroes to the fold, and come out fighting on Saturdays. Now, how about a "Gig 'Em" for good measure?
