And it was, like, 3 degrees and windy in the upper deck of the Cotton Bowl. Spent the entire ride home checking for frostbite.

My toes are still numb from that day. Folks made us stay till the eyes, that’s how we rolled back then. Made my little sister hate football.

funny thing i was thinking about, if you look at the peaks of the various teams in texas over a 20 year period A&M barely squeaks over Tech and Houston in terms of accomplishments and was quickly eclipsed by SMU this year 

Championships - Texas x1

Championship Appearances - Texas x2 and TCU x1

Playoff Appearances - Texas x2, SMU x1 , and TCU x1

Conference Championships - Texas, SMU, TCU , Baylor 

NY6 - Texas, TCU , Baylor , A&M x1 

------

* Other Texas Teams  - Tech , Houston

Add in 10+ win seasons and it looks even worse.

I remember looking forward to going to take a piss in the piss troughs because the men’s room was the only place you could warm up. It was warm because of the warm piss in the open troughs. A damp, piss-smelling warmth.

Stan Thomas is adamant that he held his own against Russell Maryland.

Narrator:  he didn't.

As we left the stadium an ambulance was behind us and my buddy said I needed to move out of the way because they were on their way to surgically remove Russell from Peters jersey.

Had just got out of the service, my 1st University of Texas Football game.  It was absolutely miserable.  You either love it or you hate it.

You kids today have no idea what the '95 Sugar Bowl was like.

I sort of remember that, as in, I went to the game my senior year of college, and vaguely remember a few sober moments during our time in New Orleans.  We led at halftime, and then shit the bed the second half.  Oh well, we got the last Southwest Conference title that year, and my first ever trip to New Orleans.  On the ride back to our hotel my little brother got sick, so we made him stick his head out of the window, and when we arrived there was a nice spattering of hurricane-colored puke all over the side of the Suburban.

2012 is a maybe too if you look at the final BCS Standings

Bye:

ND

Bama (SEC Champ)

Stanford(PAC 10 Champ)

KSU (Big 12 Champ)

 

At Large:

FSU (ACC Champ)

Wisconsin (Big 10 Champ)

 

Pretty Clearly ranked ahead:

Florida (11-1) - beat A&M

Oregon (11-1)

Georgia (11-2) - 2nd loss in SEC Champ Game

LSU (10-2) - beat A&M (24-19); 2 losses to Bama and Florida

 

Leaves two spots for:

SCAR (10-2) - Losses to LSU, Florida. DNP A&M

OU (10-2) - Losses to KSU, ND. (Lost to A&M in Cotton Bowl 41-14)

Clemson (10-2) - Losses to FSU, SCAR

A&M (10-2) - 2 losses to LSU, Florida

Northern Ill (12-1) - if they had a guaranteed sport for a non power 5, like they kinda do now

 

I think they make it as the 11th or 12th seed because of their win over Bama, but it would be pretty damn close

So they get into every playoff that never existed? Sounds about right for aggy.

A&M is going to be really bad next year based on their roster. It's quite possible OU and A&M have both hired their Charlie Strongs at the same time (OU has with 100% certainty, they are dumpster fire right now). I'm not convinced Elko is that bad of a hire (maybe closer to a Herman), but things aren't looking great at any position of importance. Fortunately for them their schedule is very manageable next year (especially if LSU continues to be mid), so they might grab another 8 win season.

Meh, they miss UGA, Bama, Tennessee and Ole Miss.  How much easier could the league make it for those goobers?

Does Georgia even exist in their world?  it's absurd they've dodged them so often.

Oh, and Pat, we have a month without a home game, too, so shut the fuck up.

Quote from article: "What I'm saying is this: this could be a far-improved Aggie team next year that ends with a similar record."

Does he mean they can end up 8 & 4 once again when they are a juggernaut of a team that is ranked ahead of Texas in next years power rankings.

While this obviously proactive spin to soften their blow next season...

 

Is that really true?  Winning Back to Back road games in the SEC is really that tough?  Cause we legit don't have a home game in the month of September(OU being neutral probably helps)
