They’ve only “won more games than Texas” during that period because they played more FCS (DII) schools than any other FBS (DI) school has.

FYI FCS teams are still Division I and were previously referred to as DI-AA and FBS teams DI-A. Division II teams are an entirely different level. For the most part, the primary difference between FCS and FBS is the number of scholarships the schools give out and amount of money the schools commit to their football budgets.

We know. Aggy loves playing D2 teams.

The difference to an FBS team is negligible. They should play neither.

No it's not. DII is nowhere near the level of FCS. Making a claim like that makes this board look worse than the goons on txgags. Texas doesn't have to hide behind anything. Our standard is, and always should be higher. We aren't them and shouldn't lower ourselves to their level.

You might be taking this message board a little too seriously.

They were better than us all the years they didn't play us. So, by that standard, they've really closed the gap from the Big 12 days.

People just don't understand!

Then the aggies should quit bottom feeding. D2 is unbecoming of an SEC school. I realize that’s what makes them feel better. Whoop!

Sure they should, but they aren't playing D2 teams. They're playing D1 teams. FCS and FBS are both D1 teams and it's stupid to suggest otherwise, jokingly or not.

Bursting their bubble was pure heroin, like an abused little devil escaping into their headspace, so did aggie... they honest to goodness daydreamed winning all the games they skipped, in their heads they won them all even during the losing Jimbo season. That is why June 2021 was their 9/11, that psychological survival strategy was over and done.

OK, buddy. Aggies love them some D2 and seem upset about teasing them about it.

this dumbass is only about promoting his fake ass shit from the back seat of a broken down yet fully re-tasseled '87 hyundai excel that's been at the mcdonald's lot by highway 6 and westheimer for the past decade.

Well, that is where he works obviously.

Good post.

It brings to mind how they thought they were somehow instantly elevated in quality by merely adding the SEC patch to their uniforms. SEC teams are better; we are SEC, therefore we are better than we were ten minutes ago. Their habit of stolen valor is omnipresent.

The second thing is the myth of the SEC grind. It can be a tough conference, no doubt. The myth is that it takes years to adapt to it and entering it will be a shocking revelation. I think the TexAggies expected us to only have half a team to field at the end of our first season. The sips would be nice and softened up like the bull in the arena awaiting the final challenge of the matador. The Aggies, playing to be in the SEC championship game, would drive in the sword and bring Varsity to its knees. That went differently than they hoped. But, there is next year.

Then, your apt comparison to 9/11. Of course, their revenge was the usual Aggie flop.

Soon to be financially-secure-for-years Mike Elko made finishing the theme of this season's effort. SEC championship on the line. Undefeated Aggies come to Memorial, blah blah blah. They definitely generated a Fightin' Texas Aggie finish to their season.

If we win our bowl, it will be a long dark winter rebuilding the rollercoaster under the direction of William Liucci and all those whose asses are red. Reed's improving in the Spring. The new OL is better than the 2025 one. Look out for Terry Bussey (if he decides to stay)! Will we finally have the Wrecking Crew back?

Off season entertainment for everyone.

Apologies to those who read the first version. I conflated two games. Massive confusion. Skyscrapers toppling over. Albertson's buys HEB. Cataclysm.

I have an aggy acquaintance that looks forward to going the FCS games in BCS and brags about the win on SM while whooping it up. So yes, there is a market for these games for them.

You’re right. I’ve been on pain meds post surgery for a while and screwed that up.

Still, they’re playing more FCS teams than anyone in the nation since 2011 and 76A34F15-3F5E-4660-AE85-5FB395AD3478.gif
