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

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.

Look at all the teams we’ve both played as well. We’ve scored more on those opponents and allowed less on those opponents. 
 

WHOOP!

At what position is aggy better than us?

Man for man, across the board, UT is better on both sides of the ball. A gambler should lay the 5.5 and cash in.

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!!!

 

As a veteran, I find their fake shtick disgusting and insulting.

all you ever need to know about Aggy is encapsulated with the events of those days.  Do not ever give them the benefit of the doubt when it comes to common decency/grace, because they don't know what that is and are raised to project the opposite.

Aggy is like school in the summertime.  NO class.

Fucking morons. Color TV in 1963 was like HDTV in 2000. Something like 1% of broadcasts were color, and only rich people had color TVs. So no one saw their dyed field.

And of course this game was decided by tu loving refs and Bill Little. Also, the field was muddy and green because tu students poured grass killer on it. That's their official story.

My dad (RIP) always loved to bring up Hank Foldberg and laugh about him and the aggies. Just another in a long line of tragic aggie head coaching hires.

Former Texas QB Chance Mock attempts to burn Trey Zuhn on social media; Accidentally cops to Kyle Field's superiority instead
With Texas A&M football getting ready to face off against the Texas Longhorns this weekend in a renewed rivalry matchup, there's a lot of energy in the air. It's not only because this game is coming back after a long hiatus, however; nothing less than a SEC championship opportunity and possible playoff berth is on the line for these two squads.


ADVERTISING


As you might expect, then, there's quite a lot of sniping going on back and forth between fanbases this week, and even former players. Heck, even current players are getting in on the action, as Trey Zuhn was unafraid to speak his mind during press availability this week about the kind of environment the Longhorns will be walking into on Saturday.

All told, his comment was pretty mild. But a former Longhorn quarterback saw what he thought was an opportunity for a dunk—and he went in for the attack.

Quote

So if you're tracking here, Mock's argument is that players go to Texas in order to play... at Kyle Field?

Or maybe it's even more than that. They go to Texas as some sort of ascetic self-denial and can only dream of playing in an environment like Kyle Field. Their true desires can only be accessed during sleep, I guess, so getting to play in an awesome stadium and environment like Kyle this weekend will be some kind of long-awaited wish fulfillment for the Texas players.

You'd think the logical reply from someone wishing to boost Texas would be to talk up their own home field advantage, but I guess that is so obviously laughable when you're comparing the two that he didn't even make an attempt.


This is an odd rhetorical strategy, but I can't really say I disagree with the truthfulness of it.
