This is being said about the Number One team in this week's rankings, by a fan of the school that got run-ruled last week by a directional school in its own university system.
since your Championship in 1939
Texas has won 4 NC in Football
Texas has played for 3-4 more
A&M has played for 0
Texas has won 6 NC in Baseball
Texas has played for 6 more
A&M has played for 0
Texas has 8 appearances in the Elite 8
Texas has 3 appearances in the Final 4
A&M has never made the Elite 8
we both suck at basketball championships, but y’all suck a whole lot more
So yeah.. I am saying that about the Aggies. You have a great baseball team this year, but #1 in April doesn’t mean shite. Do something with it and i’ll be one of the first to congratulate you.
Win something for crying out loud.
Until then.. every argument that an Aggie makes is nothing more than hot air..

We aren’t SEC. We aren’t welcome here. We were reminded as much when they let you poisonous vipers in the conference. Now do your job and destroy the conference with Texas like you are wont to do.
Almost as much as you destroyed the English language there.
You are the perpetual victim aren't you? I feel for your family. You're the guy at the party with all the conspiracy theories which, without a doubt, involve Texas Longhorns lmao.

YES = Alabama (representing the South)
NO = Georgia (behind Alabama)
NO = LSU (behind Alabama)
NO = Michigan (behind Ohio Sate)
YES = Notre Dame (representing USA and East Coast)
YES = Ohio State (representing upper Midwest)
YES = Oklahoma (representing lower Midwest)
NO = Penn State (behind Notre Dame)
NO = texas (behind Oklahoma)
You can not be a mega blue blood and be behind another school in your region.

I assume you mean Big 12 Network. Every single team in the country would have taken the deal we got from ESPN.
ESPN did it for 1 reason. It was a poison pill to stop realignment. They didn’t want to lose Texas to the PAC and Fox. It was much cheaper to pay Texas $15 million than to have to bid for the whole PAC deal.
In addition, it gave them leverage for when Texas was ready to move. This allowed them time to determine how it was going to go down.
Blame Texas all you want, but the mouse controlled the whole thing.. not Texas.
I was wrong in the sense that I meant the longhorn network. How much has to happen before you realize that the problem is you?

Drop Georgia, Penn State,.and LSU. Add Nebraska and USC. One school has 5 NCs and 40+ conference championships while the other has 11.NC and roughly 40 conference titles. Also pretty sure both are top 9 in all time wins. (Could be wrong about USC.
The 3 schools dropped can be added to about half a dozen other schools as tier 2.

Ahh yes that mean ol' longhorn network. For the SEC fans out there. ask an Aggie which schools voted in favor of the right to have their own network. Good luck getting ag to admit they did.. but they did.
What's even more hilarious is that they like to claim that if ESPN had offered them the same network they would have said no. that one still makes me laugh

Texas has a better H2H against them, but they have a better program. I don’t like it, but it’s true.
What is the possible argument you have against OU being a blue blood?
It is fun to read posts from a dude who is ate up with Texas and Oklahoma as that guy is.
As silly as the Blue Blood discussion is (as there is no real definition)... Oklahoma is an elite program historically...
And the idea that they are going to drop completely off the map is wishful thinking based off of how well they have been able to recruit. They have been top 10 every year lately and top 12 when transfers are factored in.

So youre telling me a&m turned down an offer from the Big 12 to have a private network from the and they elected to give it to Texas instead. They then elected to move to the SEC? That's what you're saying?

Any program that didn’t win its first national title until the 1980s and its second until the 2020s is certainly not a “blue blood”
Posted on 4/21/24 at 7:25 pm to OU Guy
Blue blood status can’t be earned in a four or five year period, nor can it be lost in a short period. It by nature takes decades to establish and decades to lose.
Alabama, Oklahoma, Ohio State, and Notre Dame are the only “blue bloods” of the sport.
There are another 13 elite programs, but none are “blue bloods” and none are particularly close to being a blue blood. Those 13 are: Michigan, USC, Nebraska, LSU, Georgia, Texas, Penn State, Florida State, Florida, Miami, Tennessee, Auburn, and Clemson.

Year after year, OU ran up massive win totals against schools like Iowa State, Kansas, etc. you really screwed yourselves moving to a conference where you won’t be the football champs most years. OU has no reason to exist outside of football wins, and you just traded that away. What the hell will be your claim to fame now? Meteorology? You’re gonna end up just like Nebraska.

The historical line in the sand of the old era and the modern era of college football revolves around the time of integration, scholarship limitations, and population explosions (such as in the South) that drastically changed the game.
More or less you can pencil in 1980 as the year college football officially entered the modern era. Nearly every major poll national title won between the late 1960s and 1979 were won by the same group of programs. 1980 ushered in a new era of teams winning their first ever official championship:
1980 Georgia
1981 Clemson
1982 Penn State
1983 Miami
1984 BYU
1990 Georgia Tech, Colorado
1991 Washington
1993 Florida State
1996 Florida
Nine times in 17 seasons did a team win their first major polling era national title between 1980 and 1996, and three other years in that stretch produced champions from one of those same newbies (1986 Penn State, 1987 and 1989 Miami).
All four blue bloods mentioned previously won titles both during the old era of college football as well as the new era… and most won multiple in both eras.
Of the 13 elite programs just behind… Michigan, USC, Nebraska, Texas, LSU, Auburn, and Tennessee have titles both during the old era as well as the modern era.
Georgia, Florida, Florida State, Miami, Penn State, and Clemson all have titles only in the modern era.

I only see 3 SEC teams. Or are we including 2 teams that are still a few months away from officially being in the conference and have not won jack shite as members of said conference.
Nothing those schools won as members of other conferences counts as SEC victories

"drop Georgia"... 
The only thing that gets dropped these days in the SEC is UT in the rankings, after they their annual bullwhipping by UGA. And it REALLY hurts when you fall from #1, don't it?
