Social media reacts to Texas A&M’s 48-33 loss to Miami in Week 2
No. 23 Texas A&M (1-1) dropped to .500 in the early season following their 48-33 loss to Miami (2-0) in Week 2. It’s clear that this season is over and it’s time to fire everybody, or at least, that’s what social media is telling everyone.
Granted, the negative takeaways surely outpaced the positive ones following the Aggies’ loss, but by no means is the season over. Head coach Jimbo Fisher and veteran leaders Demani Richardson and Layden Robinson echoed the same in their postgame pressers. There are clear areas to address, and Texas A&M must work on those in the coming week. But as well know, social media doesn’t act logically.
Rather than focusing on adjustments that need to be made ahead of Week 3, social media proclaimed that the Aggies season was officially over and Fisher must be fired. Also, we got a nice dose of revisionist history because, according to the social media timeline, the Maroon and White made a drastic mistake in departing with revered coach Kevin Sumlin.
The reality is that college football is a week-to-week battle, and that rings especially true for the media hot takes swirling around. Buckle up for a monsoon of negative reactions to the Aggies’ loss, but at least take a glance at social media for more than a few hilarious takes.

At least the Aggies weren't alone

Put your worries about the offense to bed. As for the defense? That's a different story
Texas A&M's offense and whether it could be good with Bobby Petrino as OC was the primary focus all offseason. Never understood it.
This defense had way, way more problems. And we are seeing that play out now.

Not an overreaction at all!
I will not overact to one game.

The Sumlin crowd coming in full force
Texas A&M gave up 48 points in a road loss at Miami. Canes QB Van Dyke threw for 5TDs.
Jimbo Fisher has a HUGE buyout. Didn’t the Aggies run off Kevin Sumlin for less? pic.twitter.com/NSfNrkoD9Q— Newy Scruggs (@newyscruggs) September 10, 2023
Inevitable, or wishful thinking?
Jimbo Fisher with yet another disappointing loss at Texas A&M.
Probably one of the most overrated coaches in college football.
He got paid like a great coach but he simply isn’t one.
He largely rode the coattails of Jameis Winston and then Dalvin Cook at Florida State and left… pic.twitter.com/3Gr5Ye3Vcq
