They look the same when they play out of conference.



But you were in a conference with them and baylor is a far better program today than they were in 2005.

2004 baylor was 3-8

Today's baylor has finished top 15 3 straight years. There is no comparison.

Youre counting an ending point of 5 seasons ago as the baylor of today?

With Saban's players.



So what youre saying is that saban only has 2 legit titles? Seeing has how he won title with Dinardo's players and Miles Shula's players?
Every single player on that roster spent more time under miles than saban.

Embarrassing loss to Baylor
Multiple humiliating double digit losses
Worst bowl loss in school history (to an SEC school in a Texas bowl game)
0-1 in bowls
0 top ten classes
2 top 15 classes
Loads of stupid boastful clams after bad seasons
4 score loss to Iowa State

Franchione:

The Big 12 is a joke of conference and tu gets rent-a-wins in UTEP, Cal, OSU, ISU, K-State, Tech, WVU and Kansas. If he doesn't win 8 games on talent alone he's terrible.

Agreed, but the comparisons should scare you.

Remember that Fran had the #8 recruiting class in 2005. The 2005 season didn't go so well.

Oh, and I almost forgot: Both coaches changed offenses after year 2...

You'll learn that all of the posters who crap on A&M are insecure.


As a person with a few loved ones who are Aggie alums and who I've talked to extensively about this, I'll bite.

A&M has some of the best academics in the SEC


A&M does have good academics and there's no doubt that sheerly based on its size, which is huge, the alum base is pretty wealthy and influential in TX. I'd be proud of that too.

This is where people have issues with you guys. As a fanbase, the vast majority of you are incredibly sensitive and annoying about this. You say we just don't understand your traditions, but no one cares to (or will ever care to). Yes, we all think your traditions are weird as f**k. From the milkmen cheerleaders to the midnight yell and whooping, your "spirit" is definitely unique. But don't confuse our criticism and outright mockery with envy or butthurt or whatever you want to call it. We don't understand it....and we never want to.

Texas A&M is obviously not a nationally recognized brand with a historic repertoire of success like THE University of Texas. It's always been evident. You're comparing a school who has rarely amounted to much on the national landscape in 50 years to a school with two decades of top tier football talent with a national championship and multiple ten win seasons to show for it.

It's just apples vs. Oranges.

After reading this thread, I guess the best thing to do is just fold up shop, send the students home, and just close and tear down the university.

In my lifetime:

Texas A&M

10 win seasons: 8
Conference Titles: 7

Texas

10 win seasons: 13
Conference Titles: 7

Not THAT much of a difference.

m new here but it seems like everyone enjoys making fun of A&M.


AnM brought it all on themselves. They came in humble, but after they beat bama in a fluke year they all of a sudden thought they were equals and without understanding the full competitive dynamic between LSU n bama, started flaming LSU like there is no tomorrow and kissing bamas butts. Bama fans got creeped out by it and told AnM to basically get off their sack bc while bama and LSU hate each other, there is still some amount of respect there. Then AnM was so committed to flaming LSU by that time, they couldnt rescind and look like a bunch of pansies, so they started to look elsewhere for friends. Arky and Ole Miss have a healthy dislike for LSU too, so they started trying to join up with them. This has been tolerated for awhile, but it looks like arky (who has never liked AnM anyway) is starting to lash out at them now too, BC AnM are a bunch of losers and arkys are at least a little respected here (for track). Ole Miss will prob start kicking Aggy in the teeth as well soon, and the ags will regert coming to the sec. They should've just stayed humble and not burned all their bridges until they figured out the dynamic of sec fanbases toward each other.... But, ags gonna ag. Now, nobody here respects them and all they do is troll LSU trying to spark a rivalry that LSU fans don't even recognize.

He mad.

People are taking two docommits and writing articles about the program that they decommitted from in an attempt to make the entire program look like it is falling apart?

Sounds legit and not obsessive at all.

Tennessee has the same number of national titles as Texas does in my lifetime.

Are either considered a better program than TCU (a school who has no outright major conference titles in over 40 years) right now?
