Sumlin's first class was ranked 16th with 19 players. Was at 24 before his hire.

Strong's first class was ranked 17th. Was at 9 before his hire.


That's cute and all ,but that doesn't mean shite unless you actually do something with it. Your still one of the most underachieving teams in modern college football. Given your talent levels, you should have a Coaches' Trophy. The Big 3 in Florida each have multiple titles and Texas mirror Florida in terms of talent levels so get it done already.

Texas is better and its not really worth discussing until A&M wins a title.

Why is this thread so long? Look at the last two years of recruiting (since A&M joined the SEC) and compare the class rankings of the two.

It shouldn't be this hard to figure out. Here, I'll do it for y'all per ESPN: LINK

2013 class rankings:
8. Texas A&M
16. Texas

2014 class rankings:
4. Texas A&M
16. Texas



Gee, I wonder which one the recruits like better?

So how many commit flips does Strong need to get this year to impress you?


If Les let it being known in the first week of December he wasn't returning and our AD didn't replace him until 4-5 weeks later how many recruit do you think would be flipped from us? Strong only losing 2 in that scenario is impressive to me.

There was more time between Mack's departure announcement and the new hire than between the new hire announcement and LOI day.

Aggies lost the annual game with us from all the NCAA sanctions during the period they keep referring to as their glory years. 7 Years of NCAA sanctions, lack of institutional control in '88 and '94, 2 years of bowl bans, and a year of TV ban from the NCAA violations A&M committed between 1983-1992( LINK / ) is why we stopped the series. Those violations earned A&M the title of 3rd dirtiest program of all time title and combined with SMU's death penalty killed the SWC.

The demise of the SWC was far more complex than your characterization, with the entire conference being housed in one state being just one of many reasons for the fall.

I don't know who the "we" is to whom you're referring, but NCAA sanctions had nothing to do with the cessation of any Texas A&M games/series.

I love this revisionist history from you

I'm assuming "we" is referring to LSU? The biggest reason y'all halted the series is y'all got tired of starting off every damn year with an OOC loss to TAMU

I don't get why aggy keeps disparaging Strong, he's accomplished way more than Sumlin in his career.

You Aggies tell yourselves whatever you want but the series was 16-9-1 in our favor since it was played every year beginning in 1960. It was discontinued because of your NCAA sanctions and TV ban. Isn't the A&M TV ban why the A&M v UT game was moved from Thanksgiving Day in the early 90s?
