Texas A&M should troll the hell out of the SEC when it comes to paying this fine. Either pay it all in pennies or triple the amount as a gigantic middle finger to the conference.

It was the biggest win for A&M since Johnny Manziel beat Alabama nearly a decade ago. You think they’re going to let $100,000 ruin their day?
Absolutely not.

Look, I’m against storming the field in most cases, and I think it’s done way too much. For example, Iowa fans stormed the field after winning a game against Penn State that they were favored to win.
That was absurd. However, the Aggies were unranked and massive underdogs against the Crimson Tide. When you upset the top-ranked team in America as an unranked squad, you’re cleared hot to storm the field.
