Were a bunch of pussies.


Even Bear Bryant couldn't win a championship there.

Bryant won the SWC in his third year and was undefeated that season.

Back in that day, A&M may have been a lot of things...weird all male military school, middle of no where, cult... but one thing the junction boys were not is "pussies."

With this post everyone can deduce you are trying too hard.

But they couldn't get higher than #5.
Reminds me of another time you guys couldn't get higher than #5.

I had no idea Arkansas/A&M week on here would be so entertaining. I like when Arkansas is good.

Remind me again how many bowls there were that season? A&M didn't play in a bowl despite going 9-0-1.

I had the pleasure of being around a couple of them in my life, and I can assure you and everybody else on this board that you're an idiot, and as full of shite as a Christmas goose.
Don't ever talk about something that you know NOTHING about.

I used to hunt with one of the Junction Boys around Eagle Lake. He was no pussy.

I've seen some bad bad troll jobs over the years, but this one ranks up there. Laughable really.

This is like a 6 year old farting in church and getting the giggles.

True humor needs subtlety. Irony. At least a tangential relationship to something true.

It’s an art, man. Not this childish crap.

I’d say we expected better, but…

That’s better than most Bama claimed championships.

There are stupid troll jobs and then there is crap like this.

My Dad was Class of '58 and he was lifelong friends with many of the Junction Boys. Those guys were all serious badasses that could kick anyone's arse.

They were 9-0-1 in '56 but A&M was on probation and couldn't go to a Bowl. In '57 they were undefeated and ranked #1 with John David Crow in his Heisman year. Bear told the team before the Rice game he was leaving and A&M lost the last 2 games and the Gator Bowl.

Gene Stallings is a man’s man. He’s no pussy. The Junction Boys are as tough as it gets. No team today could go through what they went through.

I’m sure the “junction boys” were tough as most men were back then. The idea that they were some kind of super badasses is laughable. Y’all watch to much tv

How many Bama championships do you consider legit and how’s that compare to your team?

Maybe, but you damn sure can't call them prodigies. Bear's lessons never carried over to Bama in such a way. At least I don't recall reading he took the Tide to the Greenville Auction as if they were all Django.
