re: South Carolina —it’s flagship university’s incredible football team deserves recognition

exas is one of the preeminent powers in the history of the sport. we were a small all male military college until the 60s. every single school in our situation would have a similar record against them. the fact that yall are so behind clemson is an utter embarrassment on every single conceivable level imaginable

This always cracks me up. You act as if Texas isn't 9-3 vs A&M this century.

Lest we not forget A&M didn't lose 13 of the first 14 match-ups... as if there was such a thing as a preeminent football powerhouse in 1897. Why couldn't your military boys beat up on a bunch of college and arts nerds from Austin early on before football really developed?

From the looks of it A&M had one good decade from the mid-80s to the mid-90s - which took place during arguably the worst decade in Texas' history. Since that time Texas has gone 12-5 vs the Aggies.

If you only want to go post 60s well Texas sure as shite walloped A&M in the 70s, the rest of the 80s, and all through the 2000s.

Don't give me this "we were just the little guy bullshite." You played in a major conference the entire time and had some of your best all-time seasons pre-1960s but routinely got hammered by the Horns.

9-3 during one of A&M‘s worst eras ever and during the Longhorns best era ever in their history.

I believe we are 25/25 in our last 50 games with them

---

How could it have been one of A&M's worse eras? I swore I was told Texas only beat A&M because they were a small military school?

And again, if you want to cut out "worst decades" you'd have to cut 10 out of A&M's 37 wins when they beat the Horns 10 out of 11 in the 80s-90s because of how poor Texas was.

ETA: Also, if you want to apply that logic A&M started playing us during what is actually one of our worst sustained stretches - even by the standards of our mediocre history.

As I mentioned before, this is actually your best decade ever based on winning %.

Yet we still have more top 4 finishes than Aggie in the last 70 years

Is there an award for that or something?

Can you do top 7 finishes or top 9. I need more meaningless data

It's an accomplishment I'd rather have than beating our shitty arse teams over the last 6 years.

Do I need to pull the picture up that compares you all to northwestern?

But fewer top 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25 finishes. Also, the same number of top 1, 2, and 3 finished in this window you chose.

---

So, what you're saying is that this keeps us out of the illustrious company of a Northwestern?

Be careful comparing yourself to Northwestern.

They have more ranked seasons, more recent ranked seasons, more conference titles, more weeks ranked at #1 (you've never been), more all americans, and I could continue, but I'm just starting to feel bad.

You're making this way more complicated than it needs to be. What's South Carolina's record against clemson in the last 50 years?

---

For some reason Old Sarge said it was 25-25. When it fact it is more like 33-17 - including when A&M won 10/11 during Texas' worst stretch in school history. Want to go back 60 years? It's even worse.

Conversely SC is 17-32-1 vs Clemson in their last 50 games which includes the current losing streak during Clemson's dominating run over nearly all of CFB while we have fielded a dog shite team.

So it's really not that different Aggie.
