Look, the facts are facts and you guys have the clear edge in the series. But let's not pretend Arky's potential and resources are comparable. If I sound arrogant, I'm sorry. It's just that Texas A&M shouldn't really ever lose in anything (athletically or otherwise) to an Arkansas

And yet you still do. That's why you are and always will be Texas' little brother.

Aggy, you've had that "advantage" over Arkansas forever.

In the 1980s, we went 7-3 against you and you were cheating your asses off.

We own you. We've always owned you. And we expect to beat you every time we take the field.

Sorry if that hurts your feelings.

And then the reality sets in and you realize that you are not on the same level as UT Austin. Texas and Arkansas ran the SWC, you guys were heel biters...

Oh, don't get me wrong, it's painfully frustrating. Part of the reason why Aggies are do "delusional" is because of how utterly unnecesary our recent football futility is.

Obviously not. We didn't have to hire an unproven mid-major coach last time we had a vacancy.

Wait, you mean top athletes dont mind going to an all male school in which their service in the military is required?



Do you still require all athletes to join your ROTC?

You fondness of male cheerleaders has already been established.

When did ROTC end at A&M? When were women admitted?

No, only Sumlin wanted Aggie. It is a small step above Houston, I suppose.

Mid-60s...obviously the perception and inability to grow lingered well into the late 70s.

They still allow students to dress up and play soldier.

Around the same time blacks were being admitted to the other SEC schools...

UCLA, Illionois, ASU all were told no thanks.

I understand they're not SEC West but they were the only other major openings save UNC (who got a guy who did everything he could to land at A&M).

In the 60s they integrated and went co-ed.

Arkansas is 25-10 vs. Aggie since 1960.

Since 1960, Arkansas leads the series 25-10.

Since 1970, Arkansas leads the series 16-9.

Since 1980, Arkansas leads the series 10-5.

Pretty consistently, we beat A&M twice as often as they beat us.

The trend continues today. Well, that is if you guys manage to win a few soon. Otherwise its going to keep getting worse.

Uh, Ohio State? Penn State?

The fact that there were no "major openings" makes the Sumlin hire that much more desperate after being told "NO" by every big name you went after. So you are saying aTm is on the same level as Ole Miss, we knew this.

Good luck and beat KSU.
