Texas football welcomed Mike Elko to his terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day on Black Friday.
As the Longhorns took the final kneels to secure a 27-17 win over Texas A&M to knock the Aggies out of the land of unbeaten college football teams, the video board at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin, Texas trolled Elko.
Texas played a short clip of Elko calling Texas A&M ‘the flagship program of the state’ last year, with a voiceover saying ‘Sike’ about his comments. That was met by loud cheers from the fans as Texas earned the win.
It only got worse for Elko from there. Following the loss, he lost his cool during his press conference over the noise of the Longhorns celebrating their win over the Aggies.
The loss for Texas A&M knocked to rival Texas knocked it out of the SEC Championship game.
‘Can we close the door and run a professional press conference?’ Elko asked mid-answer.
The good news for Elko and the Aggies: They closed out the season with an 11-1 record, including a 7-1 record in SEC play. Texas A&M has secured a spot in the College Football Playoff and, barring a major upset, should at least have a home first-round game, if not a bye in the opening round.
