Aggies always have to talk about the future because they can never talk about the present or the past.

This is just aggie greatness here.

First, you choose 44 years as the time period so that you can conveniently leave out that we have 4 titles.

Second, you compare us to schools like Pitt, BYU, and Washington while ignoring the fact that we have the second most wins ever and were one of the most dominant teams of the 2000s.

Third, you try to claim you have surpassed us in facilities when your new stadium hasn't even been built yet and your other facilities are crap compared to ours.

Fourth, you claim that you've surpassed us in recruiting because you have a better recruiting class than us during the current season. One season does not make a trend.

Fifth, you talk about winning a championship when you haven't even done it yet or come close. Your defense still sucks balls, you just lost the greatest player ever for A&M who couldn't even come close to winning a championship, and you also lost your all-world WR and your top OT. And you lost those players after going 9-4. Here's a word to the wise: teams don't get better when they lose their best QB ever, their top WR, and their top OT off a team that couldn't defend the School of the Blind.

You're just making yourself look so delusional in this thread.

1973 is really the dividing line as that is when scholarship limits went into place, which prevented texas from offering scholarships to 10 qb, 15 rbs, etc. to keep them from the other schools. It is also the era where they was widespread racial integration in athletic programs, so it is not a stretch to consider this the "modern era" of collegiate sports. It isn't arbitrary.

According to sip logic, wins don't man anything, it is about titles. This is the mantra y'all have spewed since last season when we won 11 games, but y'all downplayed it because we didn't win a title. Y'all were very dominant in the 2000s, yet played 2nd fiddle in your own division to OU. During this resurgent period in time with Mack while we are arguably at our worst, y'all mustered 2 conference titles to our 1. That isn't the production legendary teams are proud of.

Out stadium isn't complete, that is correct. However, our workout facilities, practice facilities, nutrition center, and academic center are already open and are top of the line. You should stop assuming we have the crap facilities that our athletic department provided in the 90s and early 2000s and do some research before spouting off ignorance.

We had a better recruiting class than y'all in 2013, we do in the 2014 class that is about to sign, and are well on our way to having a better class in 2015. That is a trend.

Our defense was young. Very young. I think I have heard that somewhere before...anyhow, if they improve to just an average defense we will be better than we were this year. Johnny was amazing, Evans and Matthews were great too. They will all likely go in the top 15 of the NFL draft. However, Ricky Seals Jones is a beast like Evans is, Cedric Ogbuehi is moving to LOT and will continue our run of top 5 picks in the 2015 NFL draft, and we have the number 1 QB in the country for 2014 already on campus learning the system and who will fight it out with the number 4 QB in the country from the 2013 class to see who will take the reigns. The last 2 years should demonstrate you do not have to have a seasoned vet QB running the show for it to be prolific.

Yep, I think that about covers it.

I am talking about the present right now. Presently we have better players, better recruits, better fans, better facilities, better coaches, a better record, and a better conference.

Broken down by conference, you get:
SEC: 12 teams (including 7 of the top 10)
B1G: 7 teams
PAC: 2 teams
ACC: 2 teams
Big 12: 1 team
Independent: 1 team

That makes it pretty clear how many eyes are on SEC football and why the SEC network is going to be very, very successful.

More aggie logic. I could make a better argument that the dividing line should be the BCS era since before that the MNC was even more of a clusterfuck of bias and misinformation. Using that timeline as the cut off, it's us, Bama, OU, USC, tOSU, Florida, Auburn, and LSU as the top dogs and aggie is close to the bottom of the shit pile.

Or we could go the logical route and actually use the history we have. UT would still be one of the top dogs and A&M would still be close to the bottom of the shit pile under that analysis, but at least it's a more honest assessment than choosing arbitrary cut offs.

You say "according to sip logic," yet you completely misstate our logic as to your 11 win season. 11 win seasons are nice. We've had lots of those. They aren't so impressive when done in the context of finishing 3rd in your division and needing wins over an FCS team as well as a number of other scrub teams to get there. The top of the SEC (read: Bama, LSU, and Florida) might have been as good as ever last season, but the bottom was about the worst its ever been. Getting an 11 win season with the schedule you had is not at impressive.

Your 2013 class was ranked higher than ours because you had 31 commits to our 15. We had a class with better overall quality. You bragging about being ranked higher is really just bragging about grey shirts and forcing kids out versus us having a small amount of scholarships to give out. I'll take quality over quantity.

Your final paragraph can be summed up as:

Come talk to me when you can stop talking about potential and actually talk about success.

#5 team in the country, re really sucked and were overrated though.

Care to comment on 2014? We have 21 commits, you have 20, and we are much higher ranked in all quantifiable measures.

Yes, you were overrated at #5. It's good that you can admit that.

And you had higher rated classes than us in 2003, 2005, and were two spots behind in 2004 and 2008. Finishing close to or ahead of us during those years didn't seem to matter.

And FYI, we had the number 3 class in 2011 and the number 2 class in 2012. Those despite not playing up to our standards. You're acting like one or two seasons is proof of some great trend and not just a flare up like has happened in the past. If history teaches us anything, 5 years down the line, you won't be able to look back to these most recent years as the start of a turning point in Texas football. Instead, you'll be talking about how A&M will surpass Texas by 2021 and will become the flagship school under your new coach with your shiny new QB recruit.

Who dictates what games are shown? Di$ney
Who dictates all the pregame hoopla? E$PN

I mean look at your list. Mississippi State over USC? I am sure if you look at some garbage super preseason E$PN poll right now some turd analyst has more teams from SEC in the top 10 then any other conference. It is unprecedented that Di$ney wouldn't want to overhype the SEC in lieu of E$PN launching an SEC network. But when was the last time any 'unbiassed' journalism would want to taint ethics pool. Just remember what the E stands for in E$PN and it specifically comes before the next word that their masses believes is what they think they are watching. lol ratings...

Furthermore, I could just easily counter with: The NFL Network is still looking up at the B1G Network in TV sets. The SEC Network has a lot of catching up to do. Hopefully people in the upped Northeast and the West Coast care about the SEC or once again, your ratings don't mean shit.

Seriously, first it was Franchione and Reggie McNeal. Then it was McGee and Franchione. Then it was Sherman and Tannehill. Then it was Sherman and Showers. Finally you made it to Sumlin and Manziel. Glory days! Third place in the SEC West and 11 wins!. And a 9 win season after that! A&M has reached the promised land!

Oh wait, your QB left, your coach can't field a D, and the cycle is just going to continue. Feel free to continue switching out names and making claims of grandiosity and an inevitable take over by aggie. Texas fans will continue to laugh and enjoy the cycle of aggie bravado followed by aggie failure.

Please check back in when you are relevant in the present and not dwelling in the past. Thanks and Gig 'em.

I'll take this as you conceding defeat.

Texas just beat out A&M for the commitment of Edwin Freeman, one of the top S/LBs in the state. Since that is the first recruiting battle that has taken place between Strong's staff and Sumlin's staff, this obviously means that Texas is going to own A&M in recruiting while both of these coaches are around.

LOL, you only respond to half the facts I present, and those responses are just saying that things will always be as they were the past decade, lol aggie logic, etc. without refuting anything and being in denial about the current situation.
