UT and A&M are both good schools… better than every sec school besides vandy and maybe uga and Florida.

UT is better than A&M though and there is no debate on this.

Edit: butthurt ags downvoting me? Ask literally anybody who was born in texas


In the 90's/2000s, the two schools were neck and neck in most all rankings, with A&M slightly ahead some years.

Given the average age of tRant posters, many of us attended A&M during that time.

Then dumbass Rick Perry appointment his dumbass buddies to A&M leadership, and they threw open the doors, way overexpanded, and abandoned the academic focused growth plan that had been so successful in raising both A&M and UT's academic reputations, while UT continued to follow it, and UT continued to climb, while A&M fell a step behind.

So you're not wrong, but you also have to understand it's a relatively recent (and hopefully temporary) occurence, and many of us Ags want our jackass leaders gone and new leadership to get A&M back in track academically like it was when we attended.

I wasn’t around back then, so I can’t say. What I will say is this. You are the first person I have ever heard claim this.

If anything it seems like A&M has caught up over time, with UT always being a step or 2 ahead. Lately, UT is really not THAT much better as they are both great schools and far ahead of the other Texas schools (other than rice obviously)

The reality is both state schools are great places to get a degree. A&M has kept increasing enrollment as Sharp just sees dollars, but we have also kept up with the increasing state population as well. Lots of more kids in schools these days looking for a good 4 year degree so you’ve got to meet that demand to an extent.
