They will never win anything without the ability to be critical of themselves. In their minds, they have the perfect program that is only held in check by the machinations of others.

Apparently, there are no mirrors in the athletic department.

No crap. Part of Elko's contract: all mirrors must be removed before he steps foot on campus.

I just don't understand their arguments.

- "Military college until 1963": Didnt Army/Navy dominate CFB before that time period? Why did the military thing hurt them? Oh yeah, because they suck. It could be argued that becoming a non-military school actually hurt them!

-"All Male School": Why would this possibly be a negative toward winning at football? Their players couldnt get laid so they lost? An all male school would be a positive since more potential players on campus

-Why haven't they won anything since this random date when records were equal (19-19)? They havent played for a conference championship this century. We joined a decade after them and played for their prestigious SEC Championship in our first year. What's the problem?

Like these are such bad excuses for getting spanked against your rival. I just don't understand how anyone believes this shit

There are no good excuses. Bad excuses are all they've got. Gotta make their copium up out of something.

aggy mental make up of all their players were off serving in WW2 just needs to look at the actual record books, not Fish Camp fiction. The 40s to early 60s, some of the historically better teams were from both West Point and the USNA. Championships and multiple Heismans during that period alone.

Hell, our first NC came in 1963 against Navy and Roger Staubach (Heisman).

Hook’em!!!

just wait...if they happen to get 2 wins in the next 2 years it will be "DEAD EVEN SINCE SEC!"

the since 1975 "when the admitting womenz(which happened in 63) finally took hold" is fucking hilarious and a new one. eliminates 60% of the Royal years and by just happenstance, I am sure, includes their wins in 75 and 76. the cope is so fucking strong with that one.

my favorites after this are

since I've been alive record, since I went to school record, post WW2 record(closer), since I started going to games record...

It is all uniquely ridiculous.

Someone posted either earlier in this thread or in another one that, after our victory this year, there is no year that they can cherry pick and claim an A&M winning record against Texas. No matter what year you pick, Texas has a winning record against A&M since that year.

"The Truth about 78-37-5

When college football debates its greatest rivalries, the conversation usually begins and ends with all-time records. For Texas A&M fans, seeing the headline number against the University of Texas can feel frustrating without context.

But to understand the Texas A&M–Texas rivalry honestly, you have to acknowledge one critical truth:

This rivalry did not start on a level playing field.

The Myth of the “Equal Start”

Many of college football’s most famous rivalries began between institutions that were fundamentally alike.

Take Michigan and Ohio State. Their rivalry began in 1897. From the very beginning, both were large, co-educational, civilian state universities. They recruited from similar populations, offered similar campus life, and built their programs using nearly identical institutional models.

They started the race at the same starting line.

Texas A&M and Texas did not.

Two Very Different Institutions

For roughly the first 80 years of this rivalry, Texas A&M was not a typical college campus. It was a small, all-male military institution where membership in the Corps of Cadets was mandatory. Every student lived under military discipline, with daily formations, strict conduct codes, and limited personal freedom.

Texas, meanwhile, operated as a large, co-educational civilian university in a growing metropolitan area, offering a traditional college experience and drawing from a far broader recruiting base.

Imagine trying to build a modern football powerhouse today where every player is required to live in barracks, wake up before dawn for drill, and follow a strict military code, while your rival across the state offers a conventional “big city” college environment with a student body several times larger.

That was Texas A&M’s reality until the mid-1960s.

When “Going to War” Was Literal

World War II magnified this imbalance to its extreme.

Because Texas A&M was a mandatory military school, its campus served as a direct pipeline for officer training and active duty. When the nation called, Aggie upperclassmen didn’t simply leave for the draft. They were expected to serve.

By 1943, the Aggie football roster had been so depleted that the team consisted largely of 17-year-olds, earning the nickname the “Kiddie Corps.”

Civilian universities like Texas were impacted by the war as well, but in a fundamentally different way. Programs such as the Navy V-12 allowed elite athletes to remain on campus while receiving military training. In the 1943 Texas–A&M game, Texas fielded several players who had actually played for A&M the year before but were reassigned by the military.

That era alone accounts for a significant portion of the lopsided all-time record.

Same rivalry. Same war. Very different conditions.

The Most Skewed Stretch

From 1940 to 1983, Texas posted a dominant 36-7-1 record against A&M.

This period is often cited as proof of superiority, but it reflects more than coaching decisions or talent cycles. It reflects two programs operating under completely different institutional constraints.

Texas was expanding resources, recruiting reach, and national stature. A&M was still balancing athletics with a unique military mission that restricted roster depth, recruiting flexibility, and continuity.

When the Playing Field Finally Leveled

The rivalry did not truly normalize until Texas A&M fundamentally changed.

Women were admitted in 1963. In 1965, membership in the Corps of Cadets became voluntary. Over time, A&M evolved into a large, co-educational university capable of competing for talent under the same basic conditions as Texas.

Once that transformation took hold, the results changed.

From 1975 until the series paused in 2011, the rivalry stood at 19-19.

No dominance. No imbalance. Just two comparable programs trading wins.

Context Over Comparison

The all-time record between Texas and Texas A&M is real, but it is not self-explanatory. It is a historical artifact shaped by decades when one institution accepted constraints that no modern football program would willingly take on.

For Aggies, those early losses are not a source of embarrassment. They are evidence of an institutional mission rooted in service and sacrifice. While other rivalries grew up as equals, this one was forged between two entirely different worlds.

Understanding that context doesn’t erase the record.

It explains it."

Equal start, well for that to happen UT would have to be bound and tied by the world's most talented SM dominatrix. Which aggy thinks is the case anyway.

Yeah? Well Texas hasn’t beaten A&M this year. [/texags]

Not sure who is wearing the Canes' uniforms right now, but the Miami team that played last night would prison rape aggy.

Now you have aggy breathy.
