arguement, yet you have retroactively (justified or not that is a discussion to be had later) claimed 2 NC to give you a total of 3, however all of them are prior to 1939 and seem to fall into the "small military college" timeframe. Just curious on how you can say your team is good enough to win 3 NC however when you do not win then you start screaming about how it was not fair because almost everyone was off to war.

Because prior to WWII, almost every school had a Corps of Cadets. Even tu. After that, draft dodgers went to college as a way to avoid war. So the truth of the matter is before WWII, people weren't scared of defending their country, and A&M wasn't hurt by that fact. After it they were. Then we let women in, stopped making the Corps mandatory, and from 1975 onward we have a winning record against you. It is what it is. All things require context. It doesn't surprise me they don't teach that in Teasipping 101.
