South Carolina fans don't like being replaced as the 5th most relevant team in the SEC.

what's that say bout UGA?Posted on 3/9/13 at 6:13 pm to JimMorrison

it's funny how people think A&M is such a lock to become a powerhouse. yeah they are in the SEC now, but they have had the same resources before they joined and were nothing but mediocre. they had JFF come out of fricking nowhere and after one season, they are all of a sudden going to be elite? give me a break.
The OP is talking about overall athletic departments, not just football. We are currently 2nd only to Florida as an overall AD. This is not an opinion, but a FACT. Go check the Director's Cup standings for the last 4-5 years and cure yourself of bitter ignorance.

don't really care to, but the Big 3 sports bring in the most money, with football being the majority, so I don't base AD's success on how well their track or women's basketball program does so you can deal with that.

But your arbitrary measure of AD success has nothing to do with the OP--which discussed schools with built-in tailwinds.
A&M indisputably has inherent advantages not shared by all (some, yes). That's a major--indeed primary--reason why Eric Hyman left your school to be our AD.
Sorry you're mad.

And yet, even by your own measure, A&M > USCe.

Couldn't have anything to do with his family living in Texas...
aTm losses at least 4 games this year. I'm hoping that will cause these threads about aTm being the best to disappear, but somehow I doubt they will

Will you cry when this doesn't happen? There is NO way we lose 4 this year.

Dude left his family just six years ago when he bolted for USCe. And he did so for good reasons--more $ and potential. Just a better gig. That's why you move jobs.
Being close to family is an ancillary benefit, to be sure. But no, he wouldn't leave a steady gig where he had sustained success unless offered more $$ and a better opportunity.
He got both when he accepted TAMU's offer.

I guess you missed my first post in this thread on the first page?
I acknowledged that yall have had these great resources for awhile now, but have been nothing but mediocre until last season.

why can't someone have a debate and opinion on this board without being told they are mad? is that just the plebeian response to someone you disagree with and/or don't want to face the facts they have presented? sorry to disappoint, but I'm not even close to being mad about what's said on a message board.

I guess you missed the narrow point Ags have made--that we have inherent advantages ripe for the taking. That's what puts us in position as a slam dunk. And those advantages are real and present regardless of whose squandered them in the past.
Will we perform at a level proportionate to those advantages on a consistent basis? Remains to be seen. Regardless, the futile efforts of Mike Sherman and Dennis Franchione don't bear on the analysis.
ETA: plebeian works better when used as a noun. Too forced as an adjective.

how many times do I have to say that I know yall have built in advantages? that doesn't mean yall will TAKE advantage of those resources and in no way "a slam dunk", as evidenced by your lack of success in any of the Big 3 sports as of late (obviously excluding your last football season in which yall still lost 2 games) quote:

why not? cause they sucked? too bad. in your logic, our 0-21 streak should be erased cause our coaches sucked.
