I don't think A&M was 70 points better, but I won't say they wouldn't score 70.
A&M's game v ole miss was an outlier. It was sloppy and cold/ raining all game, johnny had a freshman game for all but 5 minutes. 6 to's and still scored 30.

Since Oklahoma is your only real rival, that game should be more important. Texas got beat as bad as Florida A&M, and at least they were @ OU.


Oklahoma was 10-2 with losses to Kansas state (17pts) and Notre dame (5pts) by less combined than what TAMU won by.

It hasn't been discussed on this board before because no one gives a shite.

It was only a home game for OU because the entire Texas half of the Cotton Bowl was empty in the 2nd quarter.

Ole miss was our worst game of the season offensively, save lsu. By the end of the year we would have killed Ole miss. That's why the AP put us at 5.

Nah, I'll stay. I've observed this site long enough to know how things are done. I defend my team, and it pains me to see them lose. I actually kinda pull for two teams, but one a little more so than the other. I can name scores, players, history, etc. I'm not just a bandwagon fan who doesn't know any of the players, coaches, or recent history. Still though, the 1 or 2 teams I pull for will remain a secret for the meantime; however, I will tell that my 1st team is in the West and my 2nd team is in the East. They have never been rivals.

I'm guessing no one really gives a shite who your favorite team is. Actually, please keep it to yourself. Thanks.

The difference in the scoreline between Texas A&M vs Ole Miss and Texas vs Ole Miss was Texas had a +3 turnover game while Texas A&M had a -4.

Texas got their asses kicked by OU in every phase of the game. It was like 42-2 or something before Texas finally scored a couple times and OU had at least twice the total offense that Texas put up. A&M vs Oklahoma was another fairly straight up whipping, maybe a slightly closer than the final score made it appear. It was at least a contest for more than a half.

Thanks for providing a mature response. Mack Brown 's best years are behind him, but do you think the outcome of the game would have been different in the postseason?

I think the outcome might have been WORSE in the postseason.

The main (not saying it's the only) reason that Texas won the Alamo Bowl was due to absolutely atrocious second half coaching by Mike Riley.
