Should we re-evaluate Texas A&M football?

They are putting together a stout program and their recruiting is starting hit that upper echelon year to year.

I know they haven't won anything, but they joined a division responsible for half the national championships this century. Only one time since they joined the SEC west it didn't have a team representing it in the National title game.

Even with Jimbo's flaws he's clearly elevated that program. Personally hope they go down in flames, but it's hard not to acknowledge they are building a solid SEC program.

For all of Jimbo's flaws he's a great recruiter. Will he ever win a national championship there. Who knows? But I think they will always have a solid program under him.

I mean shite, they're what, 16-3 over the past two years?

I'd say that's pretty good, no re-evaluation needed.

They are definitely doing good things in College Station. They are a rising power.

Just need to hit on the right QB now that the foundation is mostly in place.

If they win out, and they certainly should, they would have to be considered a solid SEC West team going forward.

That said, their two loses would both be to average at best SEC West teams. The win over Bama is strong though.

If they should lose to Ole Miss or LSU, that all goes out the window and they have a 3 losses within the division all to teams they were favored to beat.

Since taking over at A&M, Jimbo is 33-12 (21-10). Over the last 20 games, he's 17-3 (12-3). His avg recruit rating over the last 4 years has been 90.85, 91.11, 91.70, 93.05(current class). If you don't recognize what is going on at A&M then you're head is in the sand or being obtuse. I am not saying we're going on a Saban run, but he's buiding a program to be and stay pretty dang good. If a QB hits, then I could see a national title.

I've always thought the aTm bashing on here was dumb. Jimbo is building a very good program there. Their D is really good.

Well....I mean....LSU keeps trying to hire him. They won't take no for an answer.

They have improved over the course of the year. They still have gay fans and cheerleaders though.

They need to put a piece of hardware in the trophy case. Period.

Maybe, i am all for giving the devil or in the case the faggie his due, but they got boat raced by Arkansas and beaten pretty good by Miss State, almost beaten by Colorado and rival LSU for worst offense in the SEC. They do have a good defense but let it play out.

it’s honestly just as likely that bama is just off this year as that Aggies are really good

Lot of great recruiters out there that never win anything. Jimbo and Kirby are two of the best examples. And no UGA isn’t winning the NC lol

As long as that "solid SEC program" knows they are Arkansas's bitch, they can say whatever they want about themselves

As an Aggie fan who has been waiting for decades for an elite football program, this thread is a lot of fun to read. I know we don't have elite results yet, but we're so close, and our overall roster talent is different than I've even seen it.

Nah, we are light years behind everyone. We are just lucky. Pay no attention to the wizard behind the curtain at A&M. It’s really just your imagination.

They are and have been a sleeping giant in football. Some day soon they will wake up and it want be pretty for the rest of the SEC. I really don’t understand all of the aTm hate on here.
