They'll be fine but will still suck over the long term.
In 99 LSU hired a coach from the Big 10, it was our 7th coach in 20 years, everyone said it was a grave yard, no one could win there. Don't let hate cloud your judgement. A&M has underachieved the last decade, but to think that means they can never be elite is just being willfully ignorant. Will they become a dominant program, who knows, can they, sure.

Fair statement. However, LSU was not clamoring that we were relevant. We are now.
The original post remains, Texas' little brother has not finished in the top 5 since the 1950s.

In 60 YEARS they haven't been elite. Notice a pattern here?

jackson, well aren't you just a one trick pony. you've posted the exact same sentence in about 5 threads. you read a stat on orangebloods, peed yourself with excitement, and ran to TD to feel cool
you sir, are not winning at the Internet or life

I don't think any of us are clamoring that we are elite. Clearly we're more relevant than you believe because your conference wants us. Relevance and on field success don't go completely hand in hand- Boise has done their thing and still doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell of being in a major BCS conference right now.

and jackson is 24 TOPS. No way he's older. He's judging his entirement perception of A&M on our 2nd worst decade in school history.
If he would ask around he would find out we weren't too shabby the 25 years before that

A&M is loaded with exceptional skill position people this season, and the aggies will soundly beat the horns, but anyone who thinks A&M has a prayer in Norman is bats**t crazy.

A&M has a lot of starts and stops with success because, in the last few decades, every period of success has been followed by severe NCAA sanctions for major infractions. Why aggies embrace the fruits of cheating is God's own private mystery but the facts are clear......one national title in the 30s and 2 top 5 finishes bot of which predated world war II.
Aggie also likes to talk about records since becoming co-ed but their only national title came as an all male military school.
Really, none of this matters. Starr is going to sue A&M into oblivion and the aggies will be lucky to field a team next season.

You people are good for about 10 to 20 yrs tops before you begin sounding silly. Such as it is with most people I guess, but I think this slow to change BS in the south equals slow to get it before the train's already left the station house.
One way or the other A&M is leaving, and the PAC is loading up as are other conferences to bolster their strength. If the SEC wants to remain on top it had better be flexible to change taking place around it or perhaps lose out in the end.

we have the largest OL in the country this year. and it's 2 deep with NFL talent. There isn't a single weakness on the offense.
Our DL 1st string is good. Our secondary is good.
Our weakness is ILB.
And yes. Yes we will beat the frick out of tu this year in Kyle Field as chants of S-E-C pour down upon them and they walk off the field defeated.
Maybe this year you can keep Cyrus Gray under 225 yards on the ground. I doubt it though

Sure we haven't finished in the top 5 in awhile. Been close a few times being ranked 6th and 7th.
Although, if you look at our top10 finishes, we have 11 compared with LSU who has 14 or Arkansas who has 13. Not a huge discrepancy.
I think any Aggie will admit that A&M is not an elite program. We are a top20 program that has the potential to be even better. We shall see.

Why do people keep harping on top 5 finishes. Why is that the benchmark? Because they have some top 10 finishes and you want to discount that?

The SEC was formed in 1932, founding member Florida did not win an SEC football title until 1990, notice a pattern there?

We live in a what have you done for me lately society. That's why Florida is relevant.

That's fair. I just hear a lot of boasting from the ATM faithful every year. I simply look at the STATS and there's nothing to back it up. They beat Texas and OU 1 year and totally forget the dominance of the prior 10.

Of course Florida is relevant, now, but fact remains they went from 1932 until 1990 with out winning the SEC only to dominate it for 2 decades. To think that because A&M has not finished in the top 5 for a long time means they can't in the future is silly.
