UT Austin was the first major university in the south to integrate. Graduate studies were integrated in 1950, undergrads in 1956. (Herman Sweatt applied to UT law in 1946).

A&M was still burning crosses on campus where African-American athletes lived in 1970.

If South Austin's mom didn't participate, it wasn't a legitimate competition.

No aggy will EVER be that self aware

That was RD having a little fun. He’s posted that exact same thing several times here in the past. Haven’t seen much of him here lately, so good to see he’s still kicking and that aggy didn’t finally succeed at snuffing him out

Oklahoma state has more than five times as many Top 5 finishes as aggy in the last 60 years. But aggy is a Top 5 program.

[wood 11,230]

Here's another RT from UT_Mangler (the graphic at the bottom)... He's a good follow to keep your cup of aggy tears topped off (or barrel, or syringe or whatever).

What is it about social media that makes people have zero problem with posting shit which is just factually incorrect? 

I guess in the case of Bjork, he is posting to the choir. He’ll get more “likes” than “dislikes” so that makes him “right?”

Top 5 huh? Considering that nowadays all 3 major sports only consider the Top 4 to be in contention, that seems arbitrary.

 

But whatever.

 

In 1993, aggy did not finish in the Top 5. They were the 3rd team eliminated in an 8-team field. That's 6th place.

 

And aggy never even made the 8-team final in 1989.

Heman Sweatt.  Not to be confused with Tom Herman's sweat.

[TrashMaster G 17,581]

I would LOVE to hear who Bjork THINKS are the other 4 in the Top 5.

Fuckin' moron.  Sounds like a good fit for aggy.

Yep. His portrait now hangs in the UT Law School, by the way. But don't bother explaining that to aggy.

Woo hoo! That means by aggy math, we’re top 2!

If I recall correctly, both Utah and Wake Forest have scoreboard on aggy in their last contests of late.

It’s weird how SEC never wants to be in the games they lose.

They were afraid... you know...of the sheep preferring "meatier" partners.

For Chrissakes, we took down the statue of AMERICAN HERO Albert Sidney Johnston, veteran of the Texas War for Independence and the Mexican-American war, who prior to Patton's winter move to the Ardenne, led the most spectacular winter march in US Army history in November 1857 during the Utah War.  aggy have zero high ground on any claim regarding political correctness.
