his is false. OU endowment as of 2015 is 1.5 billion, A&M's is 4.7 billion.

the texas A&M university SYSTEM is 10.5 billion, however this figure is 2/3 the 10xOU endowment you claimed.

furthermore, seeing as OU's student body is approximately 37,000 and A&M's is approximately 65,000, the per capita comparison of OU and A&M's endowments reveals that, adjusted for population, A&M's endowment is about 174% of OUs. which, while clearly superior, is not close to the 1000% you advertised.

I hope for your sake your educational experience at A&M was not math related.

It's not the only thing that's not true. Texas A&M is only historically better in two sports by a significant margin.

.....Equestrian and track

Equestrian, a sport with approximately 16 teams that compete for a national championship.

they claim three fake football national championships. If Oklahoma used their system of claiming football national championships we could claim 17, but we don't.

Also.

Oklahoma is historically better than A&M in just about every metric in Basketball.

Oklahoma has 32 total national championships, A&M (if you count their 11 equestrian and 3 inferiority complex football championships) has 25.

Oklahoma Is "historically better" than A&M in Football (obvs)

Basketball (more championship appearances, more final 4s, more elite 8s, etc)

Baseball (2 NCs to 0)

Softball (3 NCs, including more tournament appearances and more top 6 finishes)

Wrestling (7 NCs to 0)

Men's gymnastics (10 NCs to 0)

Women's gymnastics (2 NCs to 0)

Men's Golf is a draw

The bastards got us in track and field and women's basketball.

I thought I'd use my first post as a lurker to laugh at Texas A&M being the Red Headed Stepchild of the SEC, because they were the Red Headed Stepchild of the Big 12. Now that I think of it, they were all probably actual Red Headed Stepchildren in real life.

Gig'em or whatever.

And no, no one back home is getting their hopes up about joining the SEC. We don't need a conference to feel better about ourselves.

The only people wanting a move to the SEC are Tshirt fans, and even a good number of them are sceptical. The vast majority of fellow OU grads I've talked to would prefer a move to the Big 10.
