Is that why he is trying to imitate a Big 12 defense this year?

Down years happen
Outside of the 20 DKR years, the Texas program is nearly indistinguishable from programs like Michigan State and A&M. They parlayed that run into “blue blood” status which is really undeserved.
Texas is an 8-9 win per year program for much of their history.

Fred Akers, who was fired after 10 years at Texas, had as many top-five AP finishes in one decade (three) than aggy has had in their entire AP poll history.

Did you hear him when he was calling into morning sports talk radio shows to bitch out the hosts for saying something critical of him? He doesn't have thick enough skin to be a coach at a big time program. Once I heard that, I immediately didn't want him at A&M.

I did the math and excluding Coach Royal, the Texas all-time win percentage is the same as when he is included... 70 percent.
Which leads me to this:
I wonder if he realizes that averaging 8-9 wins through history gives that team a very high winning percentage of more than 70 percent.
In other words, he meant this as a cut but it's actually a compliment.

Talk about knee jerk reaction.
That Sugar Bowl win was fools gold.
Sips got taken for a ride on that extension...

If you remove the DKR years, A&M has more conference and national titles, more Heisman winners and a very similar winning %.

Just the DKR years huh? So were you in a coma for a decade in the 2000s?

The Longhorns have won 32 conference titles, of which Darrell Royal won 11.
That leaves 21, which is still greater than aggy's 18 in their history.
Excluding aggy's 1957-76 seasons (when Royal was coach) would bump your all-time win percentage from 60 percent to 64 percent. That's not enough to make them comparable (I've rounded up aggy's so it's fair to round up Texas to 71 percent).
That bump would put you in the area of LSU (65 percent) and Auburn (63 percent).
John David Crow won the Heisman in Darrell Royal's first year, so excluding him, aggy only has one (Manziel).
Darrell Royal never had a Heisman winner, so you lose that one also, 2-1.
You're not real good at math, Doc.
And your two fake "retroactive national titles" are a friggin' joke.

Mensa you say?
I mean I know a ton of people who are undoubtedly intelligent enough to have met the requirements to get into MENSA (unfortunately I know for a fact I wouldn't
), but I only know of one person who was actually a member. And he was a professor with a PhD and law degree, I think the only reason we knew was because he won jeopardy when he was younger. In fact, I don't even know if that's true because he was extremely humble, quite the opposite of many who join MENSA for the pure status-symbol of it. Posted on 11/19/19 at 1:08 am to Roger Klarvin
quote:Did I imagine the 2005 National Championship against USC, including the OSU game that (I may have imagined) attended against one of the best OSU teams I've seen?
Outside of the 20 DKR years, the Texas program is nearly indistinguishable from programs like Michigan State and A&M.
Did I also imagine them in another championship game with Colt McCoy, who unfortunately got hurt, and a BCS game against OSU that McCoy and Texas won late?
I don't remember any national championship game for A&M or Michigan State. I vaguely remember the one BCS Sugar Bowl game where A&M lost to Ohio State who was upset by Saban's Michigan State team. And I also remember Michigan State making the CFB playoff in 2015 after upsetting OSU on a last-second field goal only to be demolished by Alabama.
So unless it's my imagination, my recollection of Texas football in my somewhat recent mind (mid-90's through present) shows a lot more success (national championships; BCS victories; Vince Young's Heisman season; Colt McCoy's Heisman finalist season) than Michigan State and ESPECIALLY A&M.

for much of history:
No one played 10 games.
9 and there were a few bowls.
If you got to a bowl it was huge.
Winning ten was a miracle season. Top 5 at least.
