Disdain
Because of my formative youth watching the Texas Agricultural and Mechanical University Agriculturals beating the piss out of my beloved Longhorns, I cherish the current football climate in College Station. I especially enjoy a backhanded bitch slap by Colt McCoy to the Aggie's fail soaked medulla oblongatas.
In an article about Garret Gilbert by Ivan Maisel, Colt dealt the Aggies quite a blow.
"He came in as a true freshman and backed me up," McCoy said. "They moved John Chiles to receiver, and he beat out Sherrod [Harris]. That shows his competitiveness.
"He's just football-smart. … He would watch film with me every day. We would go through the game plan together. He was always ready in case something happened. Yeah, he had five turnovers in the bowl game. That's the national championship. Had it been Texas A&M or something, it would have been a whole lot different."
For an example of futility, Colt did not turn to the Baylor Bears, the Big XII North, the Rice Owls, or even one of those silly, extra Louisiana universities with a name of a city in the title. Colt McCoy turned to the Texas Agricultural and Mechanical University Agriculturals. That is funny.

The Aggies pride themselves on difference.
We can expect a witty retort from Bill Byrne shortly. A bon mot kinda deal for his friends in the state capital.

Whenever I start to have even an inkling of respect for the Aggies, I remember that they have those faggy yell leaders and it just goes right out the window. How the hell does a bunch of farming hicks ever come to the conclusion that yell leaders were a good idea? Boggles the mind.

Haha, no shit Colt hates those retards. What’s hilarious is that if Colt played at A&M and had half the success he did here, he would have replaced Bucky Richardson as the aggy demigod.
I do think he has a good point regarding Gilbert. From his interviews, Gilbert comes off as someone who knows the game of football, and as just a smart guy in general. McCoy had football smarts, but I don’t think he was that intelligent overall.

Cart is still Cart and will always be Cart. He improved his record to a whippig 2-2 against A&M.
Yes, our defense was bad last year. We’ll see how Garrett Gilbert does against it next year. Feel free to TTT this when Thanksgiving comes around.

Money quote from the Aggie general:
Texas is not going to the Big Ten. Sorry if I hadn’t mentioned it in the last 10 minutes. But if Texas were to leave, Texas A&M would be joined at the hip and every other place. "I can’t imagine we’d ever be separated," Texas A&M athletic director Bill Byrne told me Saturday. "But then I thought the stock market would go up to 12,000. I’m happy where we are right now. I think we’ve built a helluva conference."
Lesson learned: don’t give Bill Byrne any of your cash. He makes bad investments for the athletic program AND bad investments in life.

Colt accomplished more last year alone than aggy football has in the last 60 years. But by all means, continue to attack him on the basis of an injury he suffered as a freshman. That makes a lot of sense.

I would like to thank Aggies everywhere for the 2007 game. It was a transcending moment in the Mack Brown era.
Since that time we have gone 26-2, won one BCS bowl and the Holiday Bowl, played for the NC last year, won our 2nd Big 12 Championship under Mack, have gone 4-0 against the Aggies and OU, and hired the best DC in the country. And our recruiting has gone to levels never seen in Texas or possibly anywhere.
Thanks, Ags. Mack got really angry after losing to your inferior twats and chenged his program, his approach, and his attitude.
And then there is this. Thanks to Eric and srr50 for providing and sharing this data.
AP Top 5 Finishes in the Last 50 years:
Ohio State- 17
Texas- 16
OU- 16
Bama- 16
USC- 16
FSU- 15
Nebraska- 13
Penn St- 12
Miami- 12
Notre Dame- 11
Florida- 11
Michigan- 9
Tenn- 7
Georgia- 6
LSU- 5
UCLA- 5
Auburn- 5
A&M- 0
During that 50 year time period, the following schools have at least 2 such finishes:
Utah
Boise St
BYU
SMU
Houston
Navy
Ole Miss
W. Virginia
Arizona St
Michigan State
Missouri
During that 50 year time period Big 12 and former SWC schools have accumulated 58 AP Top 5 finishes.
USC — has finished the season nationally-ranked 37 times (74%). The Trojans have 22 Top Ten finishes (44%), with 19 Top Five finishes (38%) along with 4 National Championships. USC has played in 35 bowl games (70%) over the past 50 years.
Alabama — has finished nationally-ranked 36 times (72%) over the last 50 years. The Crimson Tide were in the Top Ten 26 times (52%) and in the Top Five 17 times (34%). ‘Bama has played in a bowl game 43 out of 50 years (86%).
Ohio State — has finished ranked in the final season poll 37 times (74%) with 25 Top Ten final rankings (50%) as well as 18 Top Five finishes (36%) and two National Championships. The Buckeyes have also played in 37 bowl games (74%).
Michigan — has been nationally-ranked 39 times (78%) over the last 50 years. The Wolverines were ranked in the Top Ten 24 times (48%) with 11 Top Five finishes (22%) and one National Title. Michigan has also played in 36 bowl games (72%) over the last 50 years.
Penn State — has finished the season nationally ranked 39 times (78%) over the past 50 years. The Nittany Lions have 24 final Top Ten rankings (48%) and 13 (26%) Top Five finishes. Penn State has played in 38 (76%) bowl games over the past 50 years.
Closer to home:
Oklahoma — over the past 50 years has finished nationally-ranked 34 times (68%). The Sooners were in the Top Ten 21 times (42%) the Top Five 16 times (32%) with 4 National Titles. They have played in 34 bowls (68%).
But of course this is really all about being “elite” when compared to just one program isn’t it?
Texas — over the past 50 years has finished nationally-ranked 35 times (70%). The Horns have 21 Top Ten finishes (42%) and 16 Top Five rankings (32%) to go with 4 National Championships over the past 50 years. Texas has also played in 39 bowls (78%) over the past 50 years.
And last (as well as least):
Texas A&M — has finished in the final national rankings 17 times (34%) over the past 50 years. The Aggies have 7 final Top Ten rankings (14%) and zip-zero-zilch-nada Top Five finishes. The Aggies have played in 24 bowls (48%) over the past 50 years.

Are the aggies really trying to intimate that their defense won’t be shitty next year? When has the aggy defense not been shitty in the 21st century? Kids would rather sign with us on defense, when we already have 5 guys as good as them at their position, than sign with A&M where they would start from day one. That should tell you all you need to know about their defense.

Yojimbox the reason Aggies have yell leaders makes sense in an Aggie way. The school until the ‘5os and ’60s was an all male military school. They didn’t have women there so they couldn’t have cheerleaders. For a while there the yell leaders made legit sense. Now they have outlived their purpose. Although it looks like the Ags are turning a corner and slowly modernizing. They have a dance team for basketball games and talking to an Aggie friend of mine it looks like they will have a gay black guy as one of the yell leaders and a short Mexican kid as one as well.

I believe the track record of your QB second stringers ain’t too stellar in our annual Turkey day game though. Stafford. Akins, McCoy….. all casualties – the replacements not very successful but I hope Gilbert is different. If the guy is worth 5 turnovers a game I hope the defense doesn’t hurt him. That’s the kind of production we need to keep in our game.
