A&M was the better program in those decades. we weren't second, we were the best


A&M was better you are right... but still not truly elite.

As I said things are different now with the SEC ..but the history of A&M is a perfect example of what being a Little brother is.

And? We weren't second to them in those decades. We had a couple of pretty damn good seasons in the 80s and the 90s as well including an undefeated season in 1994. So yea, we weren't an "elite" program but we were easily a top 15 program

well no shite. A&M was a small all male military college until the 60s and we were a glorified division two school. Why do you think things changed once we hit the 80s? We hired a good coach in Jackie sherril to go along with scholarship limitations that were imposed in 1975 as well as us emerging as a very large university with resources
