Thought it had something to do with WWII (or some other war) and a lot of Aggies going to war while the UT alums stayed at home and sipped tea.
There were something like 20K Aggie officers in WWII. Most by far of any academy/school outside the official military academies (Westpoint/AFA/Anapolis)

Actually, during WW2, they put more officers in than West Point. During WW2, they would commission officers after their freshman year and send them right to Europe or the Pacific. After the war, the "kiddie corps" returned to complete their degrees.
