JohnnyFootball Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 Lmao these two chuckle****s are still trying to be serious! They must be a blast at parties.... Well they probably don't get invited to many, but you get the point.
JohnnyFootball Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 LOL watch out, Wet. These t shirt fans mean seriously business and are ready to defend the school they didn't go to, tooth and nail!

Bruh, if living vicariously through a school you didn't attend makes you feel complete, go for it! You're in great company with the likes of db and tbird!

However, there are definitely thousands of folks around Texas who are either A&M or UT fans who did not attend those schools.

To me they’re tainted and shouldn’t count. Recent to me is 5-6 years and they haven’t played. There was a couple opportunities for bowl matchups but the conference that gets to choose where their teams go opted away from it. It’s not wasting anything, you’re here arguing it. It just irks you to be the only group in America that thinks the Aggies are a historically better program than Texas. Even in an up and down season for Texas they won 10, played in a conference championship game, and won a sugar bowl against a team that the sec prides themselves on. Has anyone in this thread said anything about A&M being a better program than Texas? Has anyone on SDC ever said that? The answer is no. If someone is irked by something, it’s you irked by me. Because I own you. Now run along obsessed one. Let the grownups talk.

Better team heading into the future is highly questionable. Don’t let one win vs Georgia cloud this... A&M would have done similarly well imo against someone of better caliber, but A&M can’t nearly win its conference and get a good bowl bid simply because its conference is weaker like some others can. Lol
WETSU Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 29 minutes ago, HearEmaGrowlin said: Wetsu, I just wanted to make the point, which you also just corroborated in your last post how much more success UT has had overall in football since 2000, what I guess we could call the current era in sports. I don’t think anyone ever denied that.... Like I mentioned, the only thing talked about was head to head results, which are comparable once scholarships restrictions hit, which is what I consider the modern era of college football. Sure we can look back at wins and losses from before that, but that’s literally like comparing Notre Dame to Army. Texas and A&M simply were not attempting to be equals like they are now. Texas was a sports “regular” college while A&M was a service academy wanna be basically. The priorities of the two and the way they did business were so different, it’s very hard to fathom anything but the results to be lopsided in Texas favor: btw I’m not ashamed of that. I am proud of the history of Texas A&M. Their good and the bad. I wouldn’t trade it for a better football record against Texas. And yes I think their record would be much better if they had cared more about beating Texas than staying true to their vision as a university.

I agree with their motives and goals in the WWII Era being much different and I too am proud of Texas A&M for having played a key role in defending freedom and America over the course of history. I mean that very sincerely. In keeping with the theme I helped create this morning in looking at the big picture football-wise we’re going to expand that to all athletics competitions and keep it within the last 60 years. So, this will be more historical, but will include the modern era and will be when A&M and UT began and continued to compete against each other with the same goals in mind as far as athletics is concerned. Now, unlike the first big post I brought in this morning, I am not looking up these stats myself out of the sake of time. I will post what I’ve seen on Twitter this morning after we started our banter back and forth today.

I don’t think anyone is denying that Texas has a better athletic department over the last 60 years. Are you wanting us to acknowledge that? Is that the goal? Yes, Texas is better at sports than A&M. I am not denying that.

And the general consensus among Aggies I come in contact with or read, is that aTm is a better program recently. Historically doesn’t really matter to me. If it did I know you’ll never change your mind about your traditions and restrictions that you’ve indoctrinated yourself with anyway. I’m not the one here saying there’s nothing to see yet arguing otherwise. If we are talking your definition of recently, (you said 5-6 years up above didn’t you?) than yes A&M has had a better team overall the last 6 years. A Heisman winner, top 5 finish, winning record every year, better bowl record... So no, I do not believe your one win over Georgia makes your team better over your own definition of recent success.

No doubt, especially if it’s true. A&M is in Texas and not stuck way out in Lubbock. The fans are obsessed with TAMU, and there are plenty of big donor Ags pumping the university with $$. You get a great education there and the post-graduation real life Aggie Connection is like nothing I’ve ever seen; it’s truly amazing how Aggies look out for other Aggies in many different industries. Back to sports, A&M does have vast potential and has not yet fully harnessed it.
WETSU Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 13 minutes ago, DB2point0 said: I don’t think aTm has done enough to overtake Texas either In the last six years... Your definition of recent success.... A&M 60-31 Texas 50-40 A&M 0 losing seasons Texas 3 losing seasons. A&M 6 first rd draft picks Texas 0 first rd draft picks A&M 1 Heisman Texas 0 Heisman Texas 1 conference title appearance A&M 0 conference title appearance First off, what part of those numbers leads you to believe at all that A&M hasn’t had a better run the last 6 years?!? Second off, having better success over a certain period of time does not mean a team needs to “overtake” another team. You compare the results of the desired time period not assume needs to be overtaken to begin with. Because let’s face it, A&M could win 5 straight sec titles and 3 National champions in the next 5 years while Texas goes 4-8 and you still wouldn’t think A&M overtook Texas simply because Texas won a bunch of games before your dad was born...
HearEmaGrowlin Posted June 8, 2019 Author Posted June 8, 2019 If A&M pulled off a run like that other universities in the entire region would have a hard time with it.
