Whatever. From the mid '80s to the mid '90s A&M won 6 SWC Titles, had 2 undefeated regular seasons, had the overall #1 Recruiting Class and was consistently Top 10 while owning Texas, had a string of 4 years without losing a conference game and had an even longer string of no home losses. From '84-'02 A&M didn't have a losing season. THAT is why we were able to hire Fran away from Bama, that and we money whipped him. That was before the SEC started its reign of dominance and Bama was still struggling in the post Stallings era to get their footing.

The probation is just weak. He was still Bama's coach and they definitely did not want him to leave. If Bama is a model of an elite program and A&M never has been how could that happen?

I do agree that A&M hasn't reached its potential though, that is for sure. Don't worry, it's coming soon enough.

A&M has NEVER reached its "potential" apparently, and every coach in the history of A&M football is a failure compared to the expectations you have, even though your fan base was still overly elated for a Cotton Bowl win.

Who exactly dubbed A&M this? Apparently they are the greatest underachiever in the history of all sports.

How ever did the Oklahoma's and Nebraska's and Texas's of the world ever get so lucky as to consistently beat A&M and become the historic programs that they are?

A&M must have just not felt like playing football for the past decade and a half.
