And Land Grant culture had nothing to do with it. Being a small all male military college is what I meant. Tech used to be bigger than us. Now we are the 7th largest school in the country.

Explain this to me..

How does Arkansas with less of a fan base (Student Body Wise), smaller stadium, further removed from fertile recruiting ground who played Texas A&M since 1910 have such a dominate Record against them?

You still realize in 1974 Arkansas barely had 14,000 students.

Texas A&M is the most underachieving program of all time. Explain how Arkansas dominates you?

How can a team that has such a dominating record against us, get more all-Americans, and yet end up with less Conference Championships? Doesn't that make us relatively overachieving, and you underachieving?

If the trend of our head to head records was directly correlated to overall football success, you should have 40 SWC titles...

Explain how Arkansas dominates the record against TAMU who has less conference titles and less Pro players?

(TAMU has 8 SWC titles before 1945, I forgot TAMU was an all white military school so those don't count)

1960 is your gage which is fine with me.

Arkansas 9 Conference titles 1 National title since 1960.
TAMU has 9 Conference titles and 0 National titles since 1960.

Your excuse for TAMU not winning is being an "all white military school" in it's history, correct?

Look, I'm bored with this. Overall A&M is a much better program than Arkansas. Especially when we look at 1975 onward, when A&M started to become the overall institution it is today. That is just science. Sometimes head to head records are just anomalies. K-State/tu. Mizzou/Alabama.

Deal with it Hogs. You're just inferior.

Answer the question Faggie.

What time line do you use for the excuse I can qoute from your previous post "All white Military" school excuse.

You conference titles started in 1917 and ended in 1998. When do you apply the "All white Military" school excuse for not winning?

No, the "more less players" part is what confused me.

A "small all male military" college has had a definite had an impact on enrollment, though.

From A&M's website:

Texas A&M Enrollment: 1930 - 1958



Texas A&M Enrollment: 1959-2005

You do not understand numbers very well do you....

How many times has Texas A&M and Arkansas played? How many times has Alabama and LSU played?

Now...

How many times has Alabama and Missouri played or Arkansas and Missouri?

How many times has Texas and Kansas State played?

You are too easy.

Who cares about enrollment? Miami is a private school with multiple titles. Not to mention TAMU has almost always had higher enrollment than Arkansas somehow that doesn't work on the field does it?

When does your military excuse start 1917 - 1998 which year is it?

It is so confusing understanding how A&M is better than Arkansas.

Its like quantum physics, or figuring out how to get from Oxford to Omaha.

We might have been little pikers but we remember the tail end of the SWC. These young bucks in the SEC have no idea what is coming with TAMU.

Now we gotta defend SEC bullshite from all sides of our state and deal with the eastern Oklahoman's crossing the river.

Pick a year TAMU.

1975 - Present (Arkansas 14-6)
1938 - 1984 (Arkansas 17-2)
1910 - 2011 (Arkansas 41-23-3)

The Deathstar is a fine venue to watch a game, and would be better if Jerry would actually open the bitch up every once in a while, but that's another conversation. The A/C is much appreciated in September in Texas.

Regardless, I want it to go back to a home and home game because I want the chance to check out at a game in Fayetteville. These venues may be old hat to most of you, but I'm pumped to see the best gameday atmosphere the country has to offer by way of making my way around the SEC.

As for A&M keeping a game in Dallas, I really liked playing an OOC game there. Guaranteed a game in the metroplex for visibility purposes and also meant A&M had a quality OOC game that was always in Texas.

We don't need the SOS boost anymore, and the home and home series with SMU has kept us in the DFW area. And besides, when we're hosting Florida or LSU or Arkansas or whoever, we'll get plenty of buzz compared to our neighbors in Austin or Norman who will be hosting the likes of Kansas State and Iowa State week in and week out.

Then again, I suppose Texas has had some trouble with KSU, ISU, and Baylor, so maybe those are big games.
