I meant to add; they had their shot in 1994 (the year before) when they would have played Nebraska for the MNC, but of course they were on probation for cheating their asses off.

Stupid fuckers fucked up Thanksgiving and forced us to play Baylor.

1994 was the last year of the Bowl Coalition that tie to SMU would have kept them out of the Orange Bowl.  They probably would have taken Notre Dame's spot in the Fiesta Bowl and likely gotten smoked by Stewart & Salaam

That was a hotly debated topic back then. The sane ags I knew argued that they would have been ranked higher if they hadn't been banned from TV/Post Season and the poll voters had been able to see them play. So if they had been #3 instead of Miami, there's an argument they could have played Nebraska (this was their argument, not mine).

I mean they fell from 6 to 7 after only beating Rice 7-0 at home.  I just don't see TV exposure vaulting them over every single one of those teams.  FSU & Florida? Sure they had a tie and a loss each.

Colorado's only loss was in Lincoln and they had 5 ranked wins because the Big VIII was the hot topic back then.

Yeah, it was a stretch argument.

Anyway, the point is:

  • the only two times in the last 85 years aggy has had a real shot at an MNC, they were on probation for cheating.

Lol that motherfucker is going to be glued to the tv for the game. Fucking insane weirdos.

I’m sure his reputation wouldn’t take much of a hit if people knew he was watching

I despise how their Cosplay shitheads relate to everything military. Roughly 20% of the Corps actually enter the real military. Not even close to the university’s across the US that have a ROTC program.

Hook’em!!!

My son said some aggy corps dorks came up to West Point for a couple of weeks on some sort of “exchange program”. The real cadets were dragging the shit out of Fake Army nonstop. My son said that yes, he did in fact refer to them as “Fake Army” and “dork ass cult losers”.

Why do I hear a lot of media outlets saying A&M will be a top 5 team in the country next year?? Am I missing something? I just don’t see it looking at the roster 

 

they seem to be losing key pieces and Marcelo Reed is solid but he’s not looking like a heisman contender. I could be bias but I don’t see it

Preseason rankings are stupid. Rankings for the following season while the current season is ongoing are beyond insane. Why would you give a picosecond of a shit about them?

I mean I could be tripping but is this not the “Tell me about A&M thread”

A championship series appearance and 2nd Place is much better than tu you stoopid sip.

"We want to celebrate our baseball team who got to the most important game of the year, aggied it up, and lost!    Now, let's go play the most important football game of the year (century?) for our university and see if this excellent example of aggy-ness can be continued yet again today!   Huzzah!

Narrator: He wasn't missing anything. aggy's #5 preseason ranking was followed by a precipitous drop in the polls.

I get you. 
I was looking at “That SEC PODCAST” and they were talking about the A&M/Texas game this week and they were saying they thought A&M would be one of the Best teams in the country next season 

 

thus my question but I get you.

They get overly ranked every preseason.  Their schedule is even weaker next year.  I swear the SEC office is going to let them play Miss State 8x in a season to try and finally get them over the hump.  Aggy will still find a way to fuck it up though.

Interesting stat from Colt's video -- our margin of victory is more than twice that of A&M.  Their strength of schedule (per Sagarin) is 28, ours is 39.  Per ESPN, those numbers are 23 and 36, so a similar spread, and not much of a differentiator.  Home field means more.

Sorry Ags, I'm not seeing it.
