Hard to play football while draft dodging?

[OWLVIS 557]

That the general enrollment was down because of the unpopularity of the Vietnam War therefore less football players were going to A and M because of it. 

 

this started in 64 according to the apologist

Hmmm.  How did actual all-male military schools do in the 1960s?

Army went 6-3, 6-4, 6-4, 7-3, 4-6, 4-6, 8-2, 8-2, 7-3, and 4-5, for an average of 6 wins (high of 8 twice).

Navy went 9-2, 7-3, 5-5, 9-2, 3-6, 4-4, 4-6, 5-4, 2-8, 1-9, for an average of 4.9 wins (high of 9 twice).

And the all-male non-military A&M went 1-6-3, 4-5-1, 3-7, 2-7-1, 1-9, 3-7, 4-5-1, 7-4, 3-7, 3-7, for an average of 3.1 wins (high of 7 once).

Sure Aggie.

Can they not get through 24 hours before the abject hero worship starts? Oh yes, I am sure you had ample chances to review the due diligence that Alberts did in hiring the only guy who had not vacated the building with Schloss. And oh yes, I am confident that that guy is totes ready to be a first time head coach at a major university in the middle of the best baseball conference in the country and beat out NUMEROUS high profile guys who were begging to take the job.

Aggy is a unique specimen who can simultaneously fabricate any excuse while polishing a turd. I don't know how or why they do it but you do have to stand in awe at their dedication to such a shitty craft.

It'd be a good move for the B1G and a terrible one for A&M.  Which is why I about 65% believe it will happen.

That's an entire new conference worth of fans to show around campus on gameday, I hope they clear their schedules. 

[Chopper 17,126]

I read enough comments this morning from atm cult members saying "Texas has never won anything" and it caused me to wonder how much winning they've done in the SEC.

I count 12 years of atm in the SEC. They compete in 21 sports, ten of which are mens sports. I counted up their regular season conference championships in each sport.

Mens - 1 (one) regular season conference championship in 12 years playing 10 sports. It was in basketball, 8 years ago. Out of 120 opportunities, their success rate is 0.8%.

Womens - 8 regular season championships in 12 years playing 11 sports. Womens basketball and T&F, 3 each. One each in swimming & diving, soccer and tennis. Their most recent conference championship was 2021. Out of 130 opportunities, their success rate is 6%.

Counting both m & w, ATM's overall success rate for winning regular season conference championships is 3.6%.

We shall see but there's a better-than reasonable chance the University of Texas will have won more regular season conference titles in one year of SEC play than TAMU has been able to capture in 12 years.

If you haven’t read all 15,000 pages of the “Realignment Talk Not Going Away” thread and monitored with religious fervor, that is on you, sir. The realignment dorks would be seriously offended if they read any other threads besides that one and the “Left Behind” thread.

But again, why would the B1G settle for aggy, when they have academic powerhouses in the state like Texas Tech, who was able to defend their academic accreditation to the SACS as recently at 2009?!

I'm sure Aggy having to travel to Oregon and Southern Cal as conference games would fit in perfectly with their fan base. Lord knows how many people in Texas are all about Big Ten football.

I'd sooner believe the Big Ten would pick up Rice than Aggy. After all, Rice has the more recent national championship in a big 3 men's sport, by 3 quarters of a decade.

The Ags. I think they want the SEC to be afraid they’ll leave, and show them more respect in order to keep them. I don’t think their worldview allows them to consider that, with Texas in the fold, the SEC might not really care whether they leave or stay. 
 
As for the B1G, if taking the Ags lets them put the B1G network throughout this population 28M state, I assume they’d do it. 

Edited July 4 by statsman

[Hagbard Celine 10,734]

they've show their ass to the rest of the league

they would be encouraged to walk for free, no buyout negotiations necessary

in fact, we should start a gofundme to PAY them to leave, maximum contribution $1 per signature

publish on secrant and let it propagate from there

[WelfareBuysMyWeed 5,391]

If you really want to get aggy on board with leaving the SEC, just post on TexAgs that you're an "insider" and you've heard that "tu" is terrified of Aggy leaving. That's all it'll take to fool their rube fanbase.
