Finishing out A&M's football wiki pages

It has long annoyed me that the wiki does not have a complete season results list for A&M football.
I know that the information can be found on the web in various places but with wiki essentially being the #1 online info resource it would be nice to get it all gathered there.
Right now I am working on the 1987 page. For the most part I am using a 1997 Texas A&M football media guide.
Unfortunately, while it does have many bits of data that are hard to come by (like every single game that was on TV since the Texas game in 1951) it is also missing things (attendances, ranking at time of games) that I would like to have to keep the page uniform and consistent with the other modern Aggie football wiki pages.
If any of y'all know of some good reference material that might have things such as rank at time of game and attendance I would really appreciate the link. I've been able to find some info by scouring the internet but would rather not have to find info I need by reading through a hand written box score PDF like I did for the LSU game.
Y'all don't need to aid me in my quest to build the missing Aggie football wiki pages (though that would rock) but any help would be great.
also, here is the link for what I have so far on the '87 team.

I'm sure I can't offer anything that you haven't already referenced; but good for you for taking on the task.

Good luck on this semi monumental task if I run across anything useful I'll post it here for ya.

I'm sure you've already found it, but this is the only site I know for historic poll rankings: College Poll Archive.
You would have to match the date of the poll to the date of the game.
Wikipedia mods can be dicks. I've had articles and edits deleted within minutes, even in the middle of the night. Which is why I haven't bothered with it in some time, but good luck.

That mod sounds like a dick.
