Okay guy
My father was a commanding officer of an Ordnance Depot on two different Marine Air Stations including Okinawa.
He was seeing things and touching things in the 80's and 90's you still do not have the security clearance to be around.

Did this mofo seriously just drop a "do you know who my daddy is?" to validate himself on an internet message board?!

To validate you seek acceptance into a group
I for sure do not want to be apart of your cult

Nothing against you because I am sure you are not that bad of a person but it is what you represent.

Higher education is supposed to be something that opens people's minds instead of closes them

Was it G-14 Classified by chance? I'm pretty sure it wasn't above TS-SCI.

Also I'm pretty sure that access to an AHA has absolutely nothing to do with clearance and more to do with the by-name access roster showing who needs to be there.

Let's get back to the discussion at hand

At 34 years old I pretty much grew up in the 90's and was a witness when UT returned to dominance in Texas.
For A&M fans what year can you sit here and say for the first time you noticed a talent drop off between the two teams
I can say in the years 92-95 A&M actually had better players. I remember a player from the Panhandle William Thomas who attended A&M over UT even though I can tell you second hand knowledge of his recruitment.
This time the early 1990's and late1980's A&M was at its best.

Starting after the 1999 recruiting classes.

Slocum managed to sign 4 total linebackers between 1999-2002, which resulted in a walk-on starting at Mike during Franchione's first season.

It didn't help that high schools had better facilities (outside of the field itself) than Groff gave Slocum.

If hesheit doesn't want to be "apart", does that mean hesheit wants to be a part of it?

Wasn't Slocum's offense a problem as well
I don't remember the defense being a problem until later in 2002
Nothing against Mark Farris but I remember watching those games against Pitt and Va Tech in 2002 and wondering where the creativity was.

Didn't you fire the OC right after that Pitt game then score 40 something points the next game.

This is where I think UT and A&M can agree on

Does Alabama not have the right to recruits in Texas
Do you think Bama and LSU could be using your university for our recruits

The offense was a problem well before Mark Farris. My senior year (1999-2000), there was a stretch of 10 straight quarters without an offensive TD, with A&M going 2-1 in those games.

Farris broke the single season passing record his first year when he had Robert Ferguson as his primary receiver.

As far as 2002, you must not have been paying that close of attention if you watched the Pitt and Virginia Tech games, as Farris was injured during the first quarter of the Pitt game and didn't return the entire rest of the season.

Dustin Long was the quarterback from the 2nd quarter of the Pitt game until the Oklahoma game in which he was replaced by Reggie McNeal.

Fun fact: Every single assistant coach under Slocum who played him as a head coach beat him. The only one who Slocum beat was Bob Davie in 2001. Even Jackie Sherrill beat Slocum in the 2000 Independence Bowl.

What if I tell you I have first hand information that Bama allowed A&M to win the game in 2012

You'd be full of shite. A&M played a near perfect game and still almost lost.

There were at least 2 plays on the final series on the goal line that should have been the go-ahead touchdown.

-If Dustin Harris doesn't hit McCarron at the 2, or hits him at the wrong angle, it's a TD.

-If Deshazor Everett doesn't jump the route perfectly on 4th down, it's a touchdown.

Not to mention the fact that the game would have been 31-24 instead of 29-24 were it not for Taylor "can't make an extra point to save my life" Bertolet.

Nick Saban's one weakness is an elite dual threat quarterback (or one playing out of his mind) that catches Alabama on a bad day:

See A&M 2012-2013, Auburn 2013, Oklahoma 2013, Ohio State 2014, Ole Miss 2014-2016, and Clemson 2015-2016 as examples.

That A&M 2012 team absolutely caught fire after the LSU game, jumping out to huge leads on teams in its victories:

at Auburn: led 42-7 at the half and 49-7 before Manziel was pulled.

at Mississippi State: led 31-0 before Mississippi State scored.

at Alabama: led 20-0 before holding on to win.

vs. Sam Houston State: led 47-0 before pulling the starters

vs. Missouri: led 49-7 before pulling the starters

Cotton Bowl vs. Oklahoma: scored the final 27 points of the game after the half, including 3 straight touchdown drives to win 41-13.

A&M scored first in all but 2 games that Manziel started (2013 LSU, 2013 Peach Bowl). Manziel did not start the 2013 Rice game.

What if I tell you that you may be the worst poster on this forum. First, you threaten to sue someone for libel for commenting on a public Universities sports revenue on a sports themed message board and now you claim that an undefeated team trying to get invited to the BCS championship game purposefully loses the 10th game of the season to a Division rival.

Damn. You are having one bad day. Two of the most ignorant statements I've ever seen.

Also claiming that he knew without a shadow of a doubt that the #1 and #2 teams would BOTH lose on the same weekend the very next week (#1 Kansas State lost to Baylor, #2 Oregon lost at home to Stanford in overtime)

Claiming that ESPN wanted to "bring down" t.u. after they had just wasted...I mean INVESTED $300 million into them is stupid as well. Not only that but the game was on CBS.

Your analogies are tepid, simple, and sophomoric.
