How did that bowl game go? Much like Ole Miss A&M has had 2 relevant teams in decades and LSU beat both. That's the source of all the hate and stupidity from A&M fans. Talk all you want it is what it is.
The A&M that exists today is not like the one you knew. We have more resources than any other SEC school and are gearing up to change the direction. Like you said, it's been dismal for decades and that takes a long time to move past. It's happening and will continue to. If you don't see the threat of A&M, that's your own problem. At the end of the day, I don't really give a shite what podunk schools around the SEC think of A&M since we make more, have better jobs, and such.
There is so much bs in this post it's impressive. You don't have more money than any SEC program. I'd say at least Bama and Florida have more cash.
And I'm 31, didn't finish school, or even get my AA, and will make between 70-80k this year working in the construction industry, with as relatively low stress a job as possible. Are the civil engineering p.e.'s from A&M making that much?

The A&M system endowment is over $4 billion, with the bulk of that to the main campus.

I'll be starting off in the 70-80K range at the lowest and only if they guarantee to pay for my grad school work. After 3 years over 6 figs is normal. PEs start over 100K usually, (95-125) unless you are a functioning idiot. If you do any kind of international work, tack on a 30-40% increase immediately. Plus signing bonuses and performance stuff.
A&M has more resources in that while we don't make as much in the athletic dept revenue, our donors and alumni dwarf just about anyone in the SEC. A $450 mil stadium and then a complete overhaul of facilities doesn't come from selling shine or cockfights or however you hillbillies make money.
