Postgame press conference 101: when your team just suffered its third double-digit conference loss in the last four weeks and is plummeting toward irrelevance, it is probably best to not target critics.

“There's a difference to me between the fan base and social media,” Elko said after Saturday's 27-6 road loss versus Missouri, per On3's Carter Karels. “So there's one group that I really don't care much about. Billy's cesspool (at TexAgs) can go be Billy's cesspool. Our fan base, stay with us, be behind us. We're going to build something that we told you we were going to build.
