You don't get to dictate what's pathetic when you are the sole power 5 team in Louisiana, have badass recruiting classes and can only manage 1 more win than Aggy since expansion. Yes people. 37 wins vs 36 wins.
I think both statements are accurate.
It's pathetic that A&M has been unable to capitalize on the SEC move like it should have and it is pathetic that LSU, with the advantage of being the only Power 5 team in a talent rich state that also partially (for all intents and purposes) includes Houston, has only managed one more win that A&M in that time-frame. That's why Les was/is on the hot seat and why there were rumors of his firing before our game last year.

It is only year 5 in the SEC. They are in the SEC West with arguably one of the best modern dynasty in college football with Bama under Nick Saban.
Rules that only impact SEC teams have also hindered their recruiting.
-Not being able to play "Spring games" at neutral sites caused A&M to lose some momentum.
-The "over recruiting" rule added during expansion has also cotributed to A&M never having a full roster, because they started out in the league with only 65 scholarship players.
-SEC only JUCO and transfer rules have also impacted several A&M classes.
This is year 5 after the recruiting rule changes. Going forward every team in now on equal footing. A&M has also been able to host a Spring game which is already paying benefits with the 2018 class.

Well yeah and you guys couldn't do that one thing right we needed you to do. I mean hell we gave you our savior DC in Chavis and you still didn't live up to your end of the bargain and beat us ending our Miles era. I smell a conspiracy. You wanted us to keep Miles didn't you?
