re: The only ranked team Ok. plays is Iowa St. let that sink in.

Nah their biggest win ever was beating LSU in a largely meaningless game in 2018. They made cups and have giant painting front and center in Jimbo's office.

Since excuses are like assholes around here I will educate you a bit.

KSU was better in the beginning of last year until Skylar Thompson was injured. They owned Stanford with Thompson, who was hurt last week (again) which is why they are underdogs.
Last year in Sept OU was in serious danger of not playing, they barely had enough players healthy on the roster to play, but instead of cancelling games like A&M, they played them, and they lost, twice, mainly because they had no depth and were missing key components. I get it you should still win these games, but they were also breaking in a new QB. This is why they got better as the season went on, they got their players back and their QB got reps with them.

Actually none of them were "biggest bowl wins" in A&M history because none of them came after A&M's 17 Conference Championships. They were all nice wins. It's just you guys keep talking as though you own us and we could never beat you and yet we destroyed you the last time we played. It was a nice W but just a consolation game and definitely not as big of a W over the eventual NC Bama in Tuscaloosa.

It's so pointless to even debate with Sooners. Going to be fun watching you become a middle of the pack SEC team as you discover you can't play 7 on 7 and win here.

I'll ask you again then. What is your biggest bowl win? You just keep indicating the "biggest bowl wins" would be after your 17 conference championships (OU has only managed to win 50).

It looks like aggy played 13 bowl games after winning conference titles and went 6-7 (on a 4 game losing streak). Let us know which couple bowl wins were the biggest in aggy history. Really, you could rank them pretty quickly since there's only 6.

1921 Dixie Classic, beat Centre 22-14
1939 Sugar, beat Tulane 14-13
1940 Cotton, beat Fordhom 13-12
1967 Cotton, beat Bama 29-21
1985 Cotton, beat Auburn 36-16
1987 Cotton, beat ND 35-10

Your pappy probably told you aggy had a "shite ton" of years winning a conference and bowl game. You posted aggy won "a ton" of Cotton Bowls, when it's only 5. I imagine 6 conference/bowl wins combos upgrades to "shite ton."

It's pointless to debate aggy, because they lie constantly and re-write history. Not much worse than thieves and liars, and aggy is fully of lies.

How many SEC Championships do you think OU wins its first decade in the league? Do you think OU has been a better and more accomplished program over the past 20 years than LSU? How many road SEC venues do you think OU has a winning record in?

Ok, first, you see, I am not the one throwing the stones, that is firmly on the Aggies, but I will answer your questions:
I think we will play in at least 3-4 championship games and win at least 1-2 in our first 10 years. I will say that it is HIGHLY unlikely that after 10 years OU will average 3rd-4th in our DIVISION in that period.
I think that over the last 20 years OU has been a more consistent winner and program, but does trail LSU by one championship in that time period. I think OU will give as good as it gets on the road, and there will not be a team that comes into Norman and dominates OU on a regular basis. But to be clear. OU would struggle as any one does in Baton Rouge, Tuscaloosa and Athens, but those teams would also struggle in Norman. In the 20 year period you mentioned OU was 4-2 in College Station, A&M was 0-6 in Norman. Missouri in that same time period is 0-3 in Norman, 1-2 in Columbia.
In that 20 year period Alabama is 0-1 in Norman and 0-1 in Tuscaloosa, Tennessee 0-1 in Norman, 0-1 in Knoxville. No other SEC teams have played a non-bowl game with OU except Vandy (0-2-1) and Kentucky (0-2). So you see there is not a lot of metrics to draw from. That is what should be so interesting about the move.
I have said that the first few years will be a transition point for OU, it will compete but not dominate, but as a program they will be a major player moving forward.

OU was better at the end of the season than the beginning but so was A&M. We won our last 7 by double digits all against SEC teams except the Orange Bowl. You talk about how you would have beaten anyone but Bama but that's EXACTLY what A&M did last year. We didn't lose to 2 lower tier B12 teams either. Is that worth a trophy or printing cups? Nope, we need to do a lot more to win something that matters but it is still better than OU.

Oh and KSU is a terrible football team now. They are underdogs AT HOME AGAINST NEVADA. So please stop saying they are anything but a big pile of suck. They have had some decent seasons in the past but they are simply not someone a good team should lose to anymore at this point. I also will freely admit if Kevin Sumlin was still our coach we could lose to them but he is long gone.

I know you guys wish that the 2000 era of Aggie football was the entirety of Aggie football history and we were still the mediocre program of the Fran/Sherman years. We just aren't. Even last week with every possible thing going wrong and losing our starting QB on the road we pulled out the W. Jimbo is now 27-1 at A&M in games where we are favored.

---

I never said A&M wasn't a better team at the end of the year. Mentioning that OU was a better team at the end of the year was in response to multiple A&M fans mentioning the KSU loss which happened early in the year.

How is this year's KSU team relevant to this discussion?

I would point out that the "terrible" KSU team beat Stanford 24-7. Stanford beat USC last week by 14.

I can only guess that the spread against Nevada is due to the KSU QB getting injured. But that certainly doesn't have any relevance on this discussion.

If I had to guess I would say 1 or 2.

No OU fan here thinks we are going to go in and win at the rate we have won in the Big 12.

We do think we will be competitive with the Florida, Georgia, Auburn, and LSU's of the conference.

We don't think we will be overwhelmed by the talent in the SEC and lose 4 or 5 conference games a year which is what Aggie thinks. Both you and Missouri had early success and OU is certainly in a better position than either of you were in when you made the move.

Actually you have proven my point. You insist that A&M beating OU was the biggest game evah. Then you pointed out at least 5 games that were bigger wins. After that it is a debate among other non conference title game wins and OU in the Cotton is somewhere in that mix. So probably Top 10 Bowl win for us? Ok. Yes, 5 is still a "ton" when you are claiming there were none.

A&M used to lose a lot of bowl games in the RC era especially. Good to great teams that couldn't close (3 straight after SWC Titles). Still had some nice wins that were more memorable than the OU game even if they were regular season.

OU has a great history and its always nice to beat you. I just don't get your obsession that thinking A&M beating you was the greatest experience ever for A&M when it just wasn't. It's not like beating OU in Bowl games is a big accomplishment in the last decade but it's still nice. Normally when a team gets boat raced like that in the last game they have a little bit of humility but I guess you guys can just keep puffing your chests about how great you used to be when you won your last Natty in 2000. That was certainly more recent than us so congrats? Typically around here any Championships over a decade old are the butts of jokes, hell Auburn barely brings their last one up anymore and it wasn't that long ago.

You guys are claiming OU would have boatraced A&M at the end of the year and I simply pointed out how ridiculous the statement is because you lost to 2 teams that are about 50 notches below Bama (our only loss).

Keep pumping up and making excuses for KSU if you want. I remember listening to your "Heisman" QB talking about how tough the Tulane D was as if he had just played the '85 Chicago Bears. We just have different perspectives of quality teams I guess.

Who said we would boat race you?

The only ones here saying their team is leaps and bounds better than the other is A&M fans.

I do think OU was better than A&M at the end of the year.

You guys are so delusional that you think that that statement is some type of slap in the face. How dare a Big 12 team think that they are better than our mighty SEC team! Get over yourself.
