Friday was a tough day for Texas A&M Mike Elko. The newly extended coach lost to the Aggies bitter rival again in a game Elko and his coaching staff looked completely outcoached. Then the video team at Darrell K Royal Texas Memorial Stadium really rubbed in the salt.
Last year, Elko claimed Texas A&M was the flagship university in the State of Texas. Of course, this didn't sit well with Longhorns fans, who view UT as the state's flagship school. Texas is located a mile from the Texas Capitol building.

That was quickly followed by a loud, "SIKE!" The crowd of Texas fans at the stadium went wild. It's since been posted over and over on social media.
The night got worse for Elko. During his postgame press conference, some celebration noise spilled into the room and Elko blew up. "Can we close the door and run a professional press conference, please! My gosh!"
