1-Texas A&M. 1 title in the big 3 sports. Have all the resources in the world to be successful, are located in probably the best state for recruiting, and they still haven't won anything. They really haven't been competitive in basketball, baseball or football for the majority of their history. I think this is an easy number 1 choice, but I had a few reservations since they are lil bro of Texas.

2-Georgia. No explanation needed. They've never won jack and Georgia is a state with all types of recruiting advantages in baseball and football.

3-Arizona State. They should be more successful, and have had some bad years across several sports. Perpetual underachievers.

Define jack for me please. MNC in football? Yeah we have two of those. First SEC team to win a College World Series? Yeah that was us.

We beat LSU last year. Oh well, guess beating you isn't winning 'jack'.

I get that.

I disagree with Georgia being in there. OK, few NC's in football but that could change; they field some damn good teams. and they suck in basketball and baseball. but they have some other teams that are perienial greats. like Tennis.
and the more I think about it maybe they should be in there. they suck at track and golf too.

so it's down to tennis. Georgia is a damn strong tennis school.

I think #3 would be Virginia Tech. They are basically the Aggies with less of a talent pool to pull from.

Despite the obvious anti-TAMU trolling, I agree that we would qualify as an underachiever in many ways.

Listing UGA, however, proves that OP either is a transparent troll or has not yet seen his 15th birthday.

I'd put Georgia at #1. A&M has always had to compete with Texas.

Texas A&M won two football national championships in the offseason before we joined the SEC. That's pretty impressive imo.

Also, sorry about TCU's loss.

I don't disagree, though this is sort of an offseason thread.

How is ASU number three? It's an over-sized school in the desert with a poor reputation and a big brother school in-state.

No to Georgia as an athletic program.

As far as football is concerned, there is Georgia, and then there is anyone else in the history of modern athletics. NO ONE compares to the unachieving prowess of the University of Georgia in the modern era.

Are you talking about overall or football in general?
