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
quote: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
but the history of A&M is a perfect example of what being a Little brother is.

No one is denying that. A&M has had good teams, but to this point have not taken advantage of those windows when they have been the hot program in a supposedly loaded state to really do special things.
This is another era so the chance is there. As well as they are playing and as young as they are…. It could happen soon.

All of this.

but we were easily a top 15 program
