We were an all military school into the 60's. We had like 6,000-7,000 students I believe.

I get so tired of this lame-arse excuse.

From 1950-1970 Ole Miss averaged 4,132 students, including graduate students. They didn't surpass 4,000 until 1960, and never had 7,000 in that period. THIS INCLUDED MEN AND WOMEN.

Yet in that same time frame they led the entire country in win%, had 5 SEC championships, and one national championship.

Aggies will please to find new excuse, okay, thanks.

What are you talking about. there is no excuse being made, we were both talking about student body size and relation to total living alumni.

I am not using anything as an excuse, just discussing the numbers. If you read my original post I said our alumni base is probably smaller in proportion to our current enrollment because of this than many other big schools. Comparing us to Alabama or Ole Miss is dumb. Would you compare Houston to Jackson or Birmingham? The only SEC school that we can really be compared to as far as student population is UF. UF has 373k living alumni according to their site and we have 350.
