Texas A&M might have just missed their last opportunity of the season to pick up a SEC series win after falling 10-5 in Game 3 to Kentucky on Sunday afternoon.
The SEC is widely recognized as one of the toughest conferences in NCAA baseball, and Texas A&M faces an uphill battle in the latter half of its schedule. Packed with matchups against top-ranked teams like Tennessee, Arkansas, Georgia, and archrival Texas, the Aggies are in for a challenging stretch. Their recent loss to Kentucky, an unranked team, was a significant setback and likely dashed their hopes for a postseason bid. Many call it one of the most stunning collapses by a preseason No. 1 team in college baseball history.
While there have been signs of improvement in hitting, Texas A&M's starting pitching has struggled consistently. Players like Ryan Prager, Justin Lamkin, and Myles Patton had rough outings during the weekend series, forcing the Aggies into catch-up mode early in every game. This ongoing trend has raised concerns about the team's overall performance and the future of head coach Michael Earley in Bryan-College Station.
Given the immense talent on Texas A&M's roster, fans are left wondering how a team that was last year's NCAA runner-up could experience such a dramatic drop-off. While some fans remain hopeful for a turnaround, many have lowered their expectations and are simply looking for something positive to cheer for as the season unfolds.
Below are some of the best reactions from Aggie fans and the media after the loss on Sunday afternoon.
Texas A&M baseball is on the wrong side of history for the 2025 season
With the series loss, Texas A&M drops to 1-8 in the SEC and has to go to Tennessee next weekend.

At least dating back to 1996, no preseason No. 1 team has missed the NCAA tournament. Even getting in contention would require an incredible run by A&M. https://t.co/AXpnHHpFyx
Based on how the Aggies have been playing finishing above .500 for the season is looking tough
7 weekend series left
