I love how you try to paint us as poor while admitting that we are basically floating the whole thing with our disposable income.

You are completely misinformed, a substantial portion of your debt is backed by a 30-year hotel-motel tax, and a student fee.

Looks like aggy is fooling old brainwashed aggys who have thought since 1939 that "this is the year," and stealing from the taxpayer at government gunpoint.

Sounds like a pretty smart way of increasing our borrowing base at a time of historically low interest rates.

Now show the statistics comparing Texas total national championships to Texas A&M’s.

Texas really doesn’t have that many. The gap wouldn’t be that wide, tbh.

Eh, they have 45 NCAA titles. That is about four times as many as us.

It’s not really that weird, it’s just a reflection of how Texas was a much bigger university for a long time.

What is weird is how few football national titles Texas has being the dominant Texas team all that time compared to programs Texas wants to see as equals such a Bama, OU, Notre Dame, and USC. Actually we shouldn’t be as close as we are either, we were basically the help fifty years ago.

As A&M moves into an SEC era when we can actually elevate our program to the national stage it is humbling to remember how Texas’s premiere program has basically failed to do that consistently over decades. Makes you wonder if there is something in the water or something.

It’s a very retro feeling after being around the actual dirt poor SEC to have someone tell us we are poor. Keep it up, nostalgia is in right now.



But Alabama’s not poor.

No Bama is not, but have you seen the shitty revenue numbers Mizzou was pulling in? Holy shite it’s like they are still making Big 12 TV money.

Plus we know of other tigers that are poor.

Page 2 of the article ....

Missouri hasn't seen the exact same revenue success as Texas A&M following its simultaneous move to the SEC -- outside of conference distributions, of course. The Tigers reported $64.1 million in revenue in 2011 and $97.8 million in 2017. Still more growth by percentage than Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, however. Oklahoma State's 2017 revenue was 10.9% more than its 2011 revenue, while Oklahoma's was 48.8% and Missouri's was 52.5%.

Yeah they are double 2011, but back in 2011 they were almost double Mississippi State. They got boat raced.

Aw, a douchebag that has never seen a pussy. Even in Texas, children should be seen and not heard.
