No sorry.. I really was hoping for some insight from Tex AM fans.. I was honestly shocked, that it’s been that bad

I said one factoid about a&m. They immediately got red-faced in embarrassment and focused all of their attention on Texas (not surprising).
don't blame me

They're the only P5 program in Texas that's never played for a national title in the men's big 3 sports.

Sorry, that’s not it. If your football program has had the label of doing less with more, finishing below preseason rankings, where players do not get developed for the NFL, that’s a reality that you have to accept. No amount of talk about the directors cup is gonna change that.
I know you like to get into this whole rejects thing, bc it irks you that people actually threw the unsolicited UT application in the trash. But that just comes across as arrogance and being oblivious to reality. It is what it is.

LOL, you talk about A&M all day every day. It’s almost as if you are obsessed

except for a brief glimmer of hope under Mack Brown
For all of his faults, Mack had a terrific run of double digit win seasons at Texas (back when CFB played less games). It was highlighted by a win in the greatest championship game of all time against an undefeated team that had won the last two titles, had the last two Heisman winners and the game was played in their city. You could live 1,000 lifetimes and A&M will never have a season like that.

A&M is a good school in the grand scheme of things and has football potential but until they get rid of the head coach, I won’t anticipate 2023 being the year they add another team to that top 4.

A&M was never a big time power house. It wasn’t until recently, like the 1990s or so, that A&M became respected academically and started to become more than just a regional brand. A&M has the potential to be a power in the 21st century, but potential doesn’t mean s$88 if you can’t get production

Clearly. 77 more seasons to make it happen.

Texas vs. Texas a&m since 2000:
Football: 9-3 Texas
Basketball: 22-8 Texas
Baseball: 39-22 Texas
OUCH

Fans crack jokes, especially us Tiger and Alabama fans, justifiably so at times, but A&M does have wild potential, just need to land someone like the obvious, Urban. I’d speculate if he were to come out of his brief retirement, it would be Texas A&M, but that’s just within my perspective.

not much to say.
1939 was a different brand of football and A&M was significantly different as an institution.
We've been in a perpetual state of slumber since all things being equal, meaning scholarship limits as well as A&M allowing coeds.

As you said A&M has wild potential, but unlike other schools A&M doesn’t know how to win. They haven’t been a big player on the national stage like the others, until they prove other wise all we are is potential

I know Longhorn fans whisper this to themselves when leaving their far flung, mid-tier country, suburban Club Corp country club in their nine year old BMW and wondering what happened to all their hopes and dreams.
We all know the realities are far different from the sunk-chested, very average realities of most Longhorn alums.
My co-worker's son just popped over to "The University" from Austin Community College. He was a pretty unmotivated student in a fairly ok North Texas public high school but just had to be in the same frat as his dad.
So he did his three months of penance while already pledging and backfilled one of the thousands of slots that seem to open up as the "Top 7%" auto-admits drop out and head back to whatever desperate far West Texas or Rio Grande valley town they hail from.
You can try to stretch that into some sort of "towering academic presence" but Texas and A&M and most other universities are just public Universities and that has its realities that preclude them from becoming truly elite private universities.
You're talking about admittance and not actual academics. If your friend's son gets in via transfer and chooses to neglect his educational opportunities, that's on him. I didn't say every student graduates a success story. However, if you look at where Texas programs rank nationally, Texas has several programs in the top ten, some top 5 and even top ranked overall. That's including the private, ivy institutions. Our institution is well regarded in several important industries for a reason. Arguing this point is just showing your bias and/or lack of actual education.

They should be far above tech, baylor, and tcu…. As it is I think Houston has a better football future and that is fricking SAD.
I think Tech, Baylor, and TCU have all proven that any major Texas CFB program can have a great season here and there. A&M has had two since 2012 which is actually trending in the right direction again to where they were in the 80s and 90s. The 2000s were terrible for A&M due to bad coaching hires which is the other side of the coin that those other programs have experienced.
As for Houston, a team I like, I would tap the brakes. A&M was one game (with Trevor Lawrence having COVID) away from making the playoff in 2020, and 2022 was A&M's first losing season since 2009 despite being in the BIG, BAD SEC for 11 years now.
I think last year will prove to be an anomaly for A&M, and don't be shocked if they turn it around and win 10 games despite a pretty tough schedule.
