Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko needs a little lesson on how to lose gracefully after how he acted during his post-game press conference after his Aggies fell to the Longhorns 27-17 in Austin. Texas played practically a perfect game against Texas A&M and handed the Aggies their first loss of the season at the worst time possible.
Texas A&M was flying high with an 11-0 record and thought they would be able to walk into Austin and have an easy win over a Longhorns team that had had its struggles this season. However, Texas had other plans and came out with the crowd behind them, and simply caused problems for the Aggies all night long.
After the game, it makes sense that Elko would be pretty upset about the loss, especially because it eliminated his team from a chance to go to the SEC Championship for the first time in program history.
Elko really let that frustration show in his post-game press conference, though, and it really wasn't a good look, but it will make Texas fans even more happy.

Texas A&M coach Mike Elko is not happy and that is now what you want to show to your rivals, especially after a loss. However, when Elko was giving his press conference after the game, Texas was still celebrating, and it seemed to really aggrevate the Aggies head coach.
"Can we close the door and run a professional press conference please? My gosh," Elko said.
The celebrations could be heard with the door open and clearly that was getting to Elko to cause such an outburst. Someone may want to tell him that teams are allowed to celebrate after a big win like that, but the Aggies haven't played in enough big games this season to know what that is like.
Elko tried to apologize after the fact, but he already looked pretty bad after an outburst like that and Texas saw all that they needed to. This meltdown is another thing Texas fans can smile about, especially after such a big win that could have some interesting College Football Playoff implications.
