re: A&M will only survive because of NIL

We will undoubtedly lose to them next year and probably begin another long losing streak to them. Overall win percentage puts us comfortably in the bottom half of the conference. That is an objective fact. And the whole “military school” argument of the first 70+ years of the program are a poor excuse.

It was during that period we were recognized national champions, and the service academies and Ivy League schools managed to dominate in certain years during those times as well. What’s our excuse?

We have been a poorly run program using the good ol boy philosophy with boosters pulling all the strings. Hope it turns around but it’s reasonable to assume it won’t. I look forward to the next occasional uncharacteristically good season (by our standards) like 2012 and 2020 were. As a fan and alum they’re fun to watch. My expectations are tempered and I have no delusions of grandeur
