1999 Sugar Bowl Texas A&M v Ohio State, I think it was. RC played not to lose the game. He had lost his edge, and it was only a matter of time. He lasted a couple of more years, but it was a slow decline.
Somewhat agree.
What really killed A&M in that era was Wally Groff. Instead of using the uptick from the 80s to really invest in the programs, he simply milked the profits. That really knee capped the football program as Texas and OU invested in facilities, and we had our state of the art 1961 weight room.
It wasn't until Byrne got there and pushed for investment that things begin to change, but he brought a different set of problems of his own.

That stat is BS.
Average and median are different. Yes. The Aggies may have a kid or kids that get PE degrees and make 350k a year.. but what does that say about be kids that are making jack shite to get that average salary.
For example.. Bamas biggest degree program is nursing. We all know nurses don’t make much money, but God bless them for what they do.
That also skews the average. It’s all relative. Compare average salary’s from the same degrees, from the same time period.
Give context and give details.
Two bama graduates with the same degree with one living in Birmingham or Memphis, would make less than one living in Sarasota or Palm Beach. Cost of living is more and so they get paid more.
Also, geography plays a lot in the salary that one person might make. For example, an Aggie graduate may make more money in Houston than they would in Miami. But a Florida graduate Mike make more money in Tampa than they would in Baton Rouge.
Example is if someone graduated from Alabama or Auburn in Construction science or civil Engineering and worked for Brassfield and Gorie they would make more than an Aggie because the owners of those companies are also Alabama and Auburn graduates. It would be the same scenario for someone that worked at Buckys in the corporate office or Dell computers for Texas. It’s not just simply if you go to that school or the school you make more money than this or that school. There are a lot of factors that go into how much someone makes who they have a relationship with what company they are working for and where are they located.
Damn, I need boots for that amount of rationalization.

I’ll take Pennington coaching third base and Cain as a recruiter and talent evaluator.
But to be honest, A&M needs a pitching coach first and foremost
Hired one a couple of days ago. Know nothing about him though.

What's the lesson here? that pissing over "who's better" is ridiculous. Both offer a great education. Trolls like the OP just want to stir the pot. It's all they know how to do.
Plus the proof is in the pudding. 3 SEC schools made this list for 2026:

Still trying to figure out how Texas is not on here...the delusion in that fanbase is insane.
Most likely one or two of them that made the list are Texas guys.
As far as A&M goes, the over 60 crowd is pretty delusional. If you ever need proof, just wander over to TexAgs.com. Fair warning, even as an Aggie myself, I feel the need to take a shower after opening any TexAgs link.
The 35-60 crowd has mostly experienced a life of 8-4 and were pleasantly surprised by last season and hoping we set a new plateau at least at the 10 games per season range.
Those under 35 are like everyone else everywhere - still idiots just figuring life out. Their votes don't count.

Georgia afraid of College Station as well.
I think with the scheduling since 2012, everyone has one of those.

it's not an NCAA rule, though, so it's not really an odd rationale. Teams agree whether or not to use it in OOC games and it's a conference decision in conference games. There is no NCAA rule that establishes a run rule. Conferences/teams have just started adopting them more to save pitching
It was added to the NCAA rule book in 1993 where it basically lay dormant and unenforced until the SEC decided to do use it in 2023. In 2024 most other conferences adopted it, and either last year or this year the umpires were told across the board to enforce it.

This is true, but Arkansas like Tech are one of those teams that always plays us well regardless of who is good or not.

Surprised LSU and Texas A&M have played that much honestly.
Lots of history between the schools. Plus we had a coach at A&M that used to schedule games in Baton Rouge because he was given part of the gate for those games. So if you look at the scheduling prior to A&M in the SEC you will see a heavy majority of games in Baton Rouge.
Even still now, there have been 39 games in Red Stick and only 15 in College Station with no games in College Station between 1945 and 1986 despite 20 or so games being played between the two in that period.

I’m about as Aggie as it gets and my wife is an Ag, but A&M 2nd on that list is sillly. We train chemists and engineers, not high maintenance sorority bimbos.
I believe we have the largest education department in the state. We do indeed train soririty bimbos and in large numbers. You just need to get out of the engineering/hard science corner of the campus.
I do agree second is a little silly, but definitely in the top half. Probably 4th or 5th would be more realistic.

2012 barn went 0-8 in the sec.
That team was terrible at the end of the year. The only team that could give them a run for their money was the 2003 Fran team at A&M that got smoked 77-0, so all I could do was empathize with the Auburn fans there.

Just for grins, I asked ChatGPT so take it with a grain of salt. From personal experience, LSU too low, Vanderbilt too high. Genuinely surprised with Florida as well. I would have guess mid tier for them, but thaty do seem to win a lot of SEC titles so they can complete with the horns for it.

You can flat arse leave Texas off the list, If you are actually limiting the list to enrolled students and not to the nieces and trophy girlfriends of all the Daddy Warbucks. Unless your taste runs to super nerds, angry lesbians, women with mismatched chromosomes, and fat arse ugly liberal women. Lol
Texas still has hotties, just not in the volume they had in the past due to the higher academic requirements they have had to institute to keep their numbers from exploding.

You have Georgia twice. Funny I live outside of Athens as a single dad with 2 teenage boys. The few times I have taken them to College Station, they have commented on how much better the women look there than Athens.
