re: The Quagmire that is Texas A&M

After losing 4 of 5 in a row in the late 80's / early 90's to LSU, I do remember when the Aggies became good enough by committing significant NCAA rules violations to win a few games in a row vs some of the worst LSU teams in history (that everyone beat). But soon the NCAA hammered A&M football for cheating and LSU stopped playing that cheating football program until eventually being forced to do so by bowl game contracts and conference realignment.

Since the Aggies have stopped cheating so badly to receive NCAA probation, their football program has been mostly crap, they've lost 6 straight to LSU and have lost more than twice the # of games they won vs. the one school they hate losing to the most.

While one might wish they could remember when Aggies consistently beat anyone, were respected as a football power or won anything important without the benefit of major NCAA violations, we sadly can't because that's never happened. And even with cheating, A&M football never amounted to anything worth bragging about.
