re: 10 win seasons

Georgia, Texas, and Tennessee should have asterisks. Georgia and Tennessee in the SEC East and Texas in the B12
The Big 12 was arguably the toughest overall conference in its first decade+ of existence. More than that Texas was in the Big 12 South, in many years 5 of the 6 were ranked teams and 2-3 teams ranked in the top 10 year-in/year-out.
But don't let your ignorance of facts get in the way of your preconceived notions

He’s a 5th year senior who didn’t win the starting job AT WASHINGTON STATE until midway through his junior year. He is what he is, you’ve already seen his best.
His “injury” wasnt what took him from being an “early season Heisman favorite”. What changed is he wasn’t playing good defenses early last year that could make him uncomfortable and than he started playing defenses with actual athletes. Texas rocked him.
It will be similar this year. Put up big numbers against defenses that lack the athletes. Look like what he is against the 4-5 teams that have a real defense. He is an above average D1 qb with a non-average skill set that can be used to put solid numbers btwn the 20s. You’re fooling yourself if you think otherwise
Honestly OU fans are setting themselves up for a big let-down. Yall are not nearly as good as you’re letting yourselves believe… within your own echo chamber. Remember I told you so.

re: SEC just broke record for most NFL draft picks

Not sure if you’re drunk. Or just going full aggie. But please tell us what time frame is acceptable. Last year is “the past” … okay…
Texas has had 30 players drafted in the past 3 seasons, 12 1st or 2nd rounders
But if you want to only focus on this year … well I guess get your Aggie moral victories while you can…
Texas was 10-3 in 2025 after losing 24 draft picks from previous 2 teams that won 26 games combined and cfb semi finals twice (11 of which went in rounds 1 or 2)
A&M set a program record of 10 draft picks in 2025 (nice for yall)… one of the greatest seasons in Aggie history… but won nothing and played the easiest schedule in modern SEC history
The fact that Texas “only” had 6 players drafted from past years team (btw is equal to the amount A&M had previous two years combined) tells a story of what is upcoming…
Not sure if you’re smart enough to do the math, but 2026 is going to be a beat down for the Aggies

You would give your left nut for a player of his talent… and your either lying or well… you’re an Aggie so you don’t really know what good football players look like, I can forgive for that I guess
Truth is Aggie fans are butthurt bc he decommitted when he was going to be“savior” of “12th man” defensive recruiting class and went on to have an excellent career at Texas and reality is “hard” for Aggie fans

What are you laughing at exactly?
A very good Texas athlete got drafted in the 2nd round and got PAID
Along the way he was a 2x all American, conference champion, played in cfb semi finals twice, conference poty, won 3 post season games, and literally drug his balls across a&m’s face the two times he played them
So please explain how his career could have gone better at A&M?… seriously please do… would he have been the difference in 2023? maybe A&M wins more than 7 games and doesn’t lose to Oklahoma state in the (who knows) bowl game yall didn’t back out of that year… in 2024 does Anthony Hill break the 8&4 curse?… in 2025 does he lead you A&M to their second victory over Texas this millennium???
Only thing funny here is how much he owned you, I will laugh at that

Literally laughing my arse off at your pathetic bitch arse.. you’re just sad
I thought you “only do facts” you want to compare draft numbers Texas v lsu since sark took over?
lsu is dog shite, but you are a whole other level of pathetic..crazy penis envy combined with an internet warrior complex
I hope your sudden appearance out of the hole you’ve been hiding in didn’t take away from your neck beard groom
fricking loser

This thread got derailed and a longhorn started it
That said, A&M got a well deserved series win over Texas in front of an impressive crowd. Is it a sweep when you only play two games? Not sure but if so, ok again well deserved.
BUT A&M didn’t face Texas’ best pitcher, got UT at home with whacky weather conditions, and played a tight one in game 1
If I’m an Aggie I am terrified of playing Texas again… just sayin

re: Bama is ranked in everything it seems...
Posted by The_Giving_Tree on 4/2/26 at 6:28 pm to remaster916
I didn’t read this thread… just thought I would pop in and be “annoying”
Texas IS ranked in EVERYTHING (okay women’s soccer has been a major disappointment for a long time… they are usually ranked but such a waste of what should be a really good program..)
However, if a Texas fan DARED to point that out on this board, like the OP, they would be crucified with the same old BS Texas-hater stuff you get in every thread about Texas.
Just wanted to point that out, not sure if OP got roasted or not… I mean Alabama athletics are solid… it’s cute that he is excited and chest-beating about “seeming” to be ranked in stuff… happy for little Alabama to get that experience, though he might want to enjoy it while it lasts… maybe that’s why he posted OP

re: The SEC's two premier sports programs appreciate
Posted by The_Giving_Tree on 3/27/26 at 6:59 pm to deltadummy
Yikes. If those two are the premier programs in the SEC, we’ve slipped further than we knew. Luckily both has-been programs are mid to average SEC programs. There is one current premier athletics program and it’s just getting started. If you’re resistant to change (aka Old) you’re going to have to learn to deal with it

Texas appears to be content with a pitching rotation built to win a series vs a rotation that will win you games when you need it. Fine for conference play but sets up for disaster in the post season. Ill take a dominant closer over a Sunday guy every time.
Plenty of time left for someone from pen to emerge... but for all the arm talent, the lack of consistency and zero "it" factor between the ears doesn't leave me feeling optimistic

It's tough to "banter" with a guy who self-owned himself in his own thread and is apparently oblivious
Communication is a two-way street and dialogue is best achieved when discourse is btwn equals
You seem like a simple guy. And Texas/A&M are not equals.
Have a good night

Of course not and wouldn't expect any other way, EVERYTHING is a conspiracy according to A&M fans, Texas has never earned anything from an A&M perspective, must openly butt-hurt fanbase in America... petty life-long "never the bride" mentality... it's who you are
