Texas A&M perfectly trolled Missouri QB Brady Cook's pregame noise comments after two false starts
Brady Cook, the starting quarterback for the No. 9 Missouri Tigers, thought for sure he was ready for a raucous environment at Kyle Field.
Yes, the Texas A&M stadium boasts a tremendous turnout every Saturday. Yes, the Aggies fans there refer to themselves as the 12th Man. Yes, Cook is a senior who has been in his fair share of loud stadiums.
But he really, truly believed it wouldn’t get to him and the Tigers.
In preparing for the Week 6 matchup, Cook was asked about the Kyle Field advantage and nonchalantly brushed it off:
“The noise at practice is actually louder” Cook stated. “They put these two speakers pretty much two feet right behind me, and, I mean, you can’t hear anything, it’s loud. In stadiums, it’s loud, but it’s like a surrounding kind of distant loud, so it’s a little different. I think it’s just as loud or louder and tougher to communicate.”
Cut to Saturday, where just about everything that could do wrong for Missouri did. Texas A&M took a 24-0 lead into halftime and kept pouring gasoline on the fire to the tune of a 41-10 win.
Along the way, Cook’s Missouri offense picked up back-to-back false start penalties on third down in the fourth quarter. And the video board operator knew exactly what to flash on the screen.

Next time, the correct answer from Cook is to say absolutely nothing.
