Something about "if he wanted fighting men, he would contact West Point, if he wanted cheerleaders, he would contact Texas A&M"

Anybody heard of a quote along these lines?

If true, my admiration for Patton goes up another notch.

Are you that bad at googling? And I hate to break it to you, but this is the quote I found..

quote:

Give me an Army of West Point graduates and I'll win a battle... Give me a handful of Texas Aggies and I'll win a war.”

That is a quote created by A&M to look good on T-shirts. There is no proof those words were ever said by Patton.

LOL, I keep hearing all this crap about Fisher, TAM, Louisiana recruiting.

HMMM??? NOT A SINGLE Texas Team is in the top 25 right now,

TAM Rank #44
UT Rank #46
TxTech Rank #60
Baylor Rank #111

Its sad even with Saban recruiting in everyone's back yard all the SEC teams are still way ahead of the Texas teams

So in other words, Texas has mediocre players and Jimbo will inherit this.

NOT SCARED OF JIMBO OR TEXLAST

I don't care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members.
