The college football world was stunned to find out that Texas A&M will not play in the Gator Bowl in a few days because of a COVID-19 outbreak but a lot of college football fans weren’t buying it. In fact, a lot of them went to social media to show their disdain for the Aggies and them dropping out of the game.

Here’s a sampling of some of the reaction:

So aggy opting out of the bowl due to “Covid” and nothing to do with half their team sitting out and no qb. Jimbo scared knowing they were gonna get waxed #aggy #texasa&m #aggies #TaMu #wakeforest #ncaa #BowlSeason #college #collegfootall #gatorbowl #a&m

As the Aggies end their season, the Gator Bowl tries to look for a replacement.
