Doesn't matter using your own logic.

Do it when black people were allowed to play

What A&M did in those rinky-dink conferences they belonged to before coming to the SEC is irrelevant.

How's that

Figures it was Ole Miss who integrated last.

It's your logic, not mine.

That happens when you play Vanderbilt and the Mississippi schools while actively avoiding Florida and Georgia.

Alabama played Ole Miss 35 times pre-1992
Alabama played Georgia 59 times pre-1992
Alabama played Tennessee (#2 SEC program pre-1992) 73 times pre-1992
Alabama played LSU 55 times pre-1992
Also - playing Florida would have been actively sought after for most of pre-1992, not avoided. Are you 13?
Welp, you tried

Eh, I don't think anyone was avoiding UF before the 80s.

With all those conference titles, A&M must have won a lot of Cotton Bowls.
How many?
12?
14?

Define "then".
Your forgetting schools like GT (who you got Frank Broyles from)and Ole Miss were also SEC powers in the 40's and 50's
Doesn't it tell you something that you've been in the SEC 25+ years and haven't won a conference title ?

Well the Cotton wasn't always tied in to the SWC winner. The final SWC champ actually played in the Sugar.
Speaking of which, the Sugar wasn't tied into the SEC winner until the 75 season.

Absolutely the truth.
Even before this century though the SEC was much stronger than the SWC. Take away Alabama and you still had 5 charter members (Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Tennessee) with major poll titles since WW2 recognized by the NCAA.
Take away Texas and the SWC had...zero.

Korin, were you even alive in (say) 1983?
Even if you were and were shitting your diapers, you really don't know what you're talking about.
The Cotton Bowl was the centerpiece college football game on the top network in America (CBS) from the 1960s through the 1990s, and (guess what?), featured the Southwest Conference champion every year.
The Dallas Cowboys, the Southwest Conference and J.R. Ewing were the CBS superstars. And to top it off, Walter Cronkite attended The University of Texas.
Now, I make fun of aggy on here often, but by God, I will ally with aggy every time when some cracker or Yankee tries to besmirch the reputation of the Southwest Conference. It went downhill after the early 80s but you are completely wrong about its history pre-dating SMU and aggy's cheating ruining everything.

WTF are you talking about? 80's and 90's? Not one CFB NC was decided in either decade.It was easily eclipsed by the Fiesta Bowl and behind both the Sugar in Orange when it came to deciding natties in both decades.

Which is why the Cotton Bowl was irrevelevant for most of my life. The last national champ to come out of the Cotton Bowl was in '77.
I'm glad to see it back in the big time. It is one of the Big Four classic bowls. Jerry World put it back on the map.
