Local ranchers used to use bat guano in their fields.

True story.

Why did you choose 1976?

Yeah, I'm sure he wanted to find the one span ending in 2010 where A&M beat out LSU.

But I want him to own up to it...

Top college teams since Joe Dean told Texas A&M to take a long walk off a short pier:

I-A Winning Percentage 1996-2010 (15 years)

7t Louisiana State 0.71958 136 53 0 189

39 Texas A&M 0.56989 106 80 0 186


Well, whaddya know.

Guess Joe Dean did make one smart move during his tenure as AD.

I owe the man an apology.

Last 50 years.

LSU - 17
aTm - 26

Last 60 years.

1951-2010

It gets worse for aTm. Ole Miss is way ahead of Aggie.

Do those totals include Alabama's roughly 21 games either forfeited or vacated during that time period (1993, 2005 thru 2007 seasons)?

Wait a second, I did not mean to post this as something concerning A&M. I just saw this link on another site and thought it was interesting that Florida State was in the Top five of the list. A reason Florida State should be a target for #14.

Look A&M is at the bottom of the list. This was post had nothing to do about A&M , LSU, ARK, just a good list of names for number 14. I was not trying to start any crap. I do not know why they picked 1976 as the date on that site, my guess it was just the last 35 years. Sorry to upset some of y'all, it was not intended.

Trust me as a former Student and season ticket holder, I understand where A&M has been the last ten years in terms of winning %.

FYI, I also noted that Virgina Tech and Clemson were two other good options for a 14th team.

Did you notice Boise at #2? Why no love for Boise?

Scholarship limitations were introduced in 1973 at 105. They were lowered to 95 in 1978 and to 85 in 2002. If you were going to pick a date, I would make in 1978 as 2001 is obviously modern. You could even pick 1973. Anything before that, and it's an entirely different game.
