Brewster’s Twitter Antics

Joe Fan - Mr. Deez was right, you do have a "remarkably deep and creative sphincter" by how you find these funny tweets about FSU -aggy!

 

Remember back in the day when aggy was so great the rest of the conference was just happy to bask in their reflected glory?


Yeah, me neither.

 

Some delusional aggys might think they had some past football glory but in nearly 55 years of following the Horns, I have no memory of the SWC, the Big XII, or the SEC ever "basking in" any perceived form of aggy greatness on the gridiron.

 

They had that short period in the 80s and early 90s when they owned us.
So that made them champions of the world, the mantle of college football, and enshrined them as heirs to college football greatness for all time.
The fact that we were completely irrelevant and flat out sucked at that time is totally lost on them...

 

lol this is me too

 

Let me get this straight,
A&M has throughout their history been completely irrelevant and flat out sucked.

The short period of time they owned us we were completely irrelevant and flat out sucked.

Doesn't that cheapen our all-time winning record against them?

 

The difference is that our all time winning record against them is just our winning record against them.
When Texas points to its history as a program, our all time winning record against aggy is just a by-line.

 

As pointed out above, our all time record against them is just a by-line. It is not any more relevant to the grand scheme of college football than our all time records against Rice, Baylor, TCU, SMU, etc because Aggy is on par with those programs. The rivalry with A&M is secondary to the rivalry with OU. Hell, for a long period of time it was secondary to our rivalry with Arkansas. Why? Because we play OU and played arkansas in nationally significant games or for conference titles. Just like with SMU, Baylor, TCU or Rice, rarely has UT-A&M had any national significance, rarely are both teams ranked, and rarely does it involve a conference title because for the most part A&M has sucked.

Simply put, the UT-A&M rivalry is not all that historically great or something that needs to be saved because rarely has it had any significant implications due to A&M never being good. Why was 1995 UT-A&M game so important? Because it was one of the RARE times the game meant anything and both teams were good.

The game literally only matters to A&M so much because they can rarely string together 10 or more wins in a college football season. However, winning one game a year is more doable than winning ten so they have put all their effort into and based their program around their “rivalry” with the top program in the state. That is why, despite never finishing in the top 5 once in the 80s, they consider it their glory days as they accomplished their only program goal: beat tu. Still, in spite of all their effort and focus to “beat the hell out of tu”, they still failed at it two out of every three times in general. They finally gave up on this, took their football, and went to the SEC where they can now claim to be part of something successful even though they contribute little to the conference’s success.

If you want proof, ask an aggy who has the better program. They will not mention national titles, top 10 finishes, major bowl wins or conference titles. They will pick an arbitrary date in the 70s and say “tu and a&m have an even record against one another since the 70s.” Why? Because upsets of successful programs is all their program boils down to... much like Rice, SMU, and Baylor. It is the pinnacle of success for those programs because they simply cannot do better.

 

Great post.

 

All I'll say is while I always enjoyed beating OU more losing to A&M was ten times worse than the sooners. When losing matters that much it's relevant. And historically they're well above Rice,Baylor,SMU ETC,

 

The point is, we don't conflate our winning record against them to have any broader meaning.
Aggy has a very undeservedly large ego, and a large part of that has to do with a short window of time when they were contenders in an ailing SWC which they conflate to mean they have some place in the college football landscape as one of the storied programs. They aren't, and they never really were even during their glory / FedEx years.

It do agree it really really hurts to lose to aggy, but that is because they are in a different class (jack-booted booger eaters)

 

It's worse to lose to aggy than to OU because we are forced to respect OU due to their consistent top caliber program. With aggy there is no such respect.

 

Losing to Rice and Baylor is also worse than losing to OU.

 

Those were the FedEx years

 

I am so following Fake Tim Brewster...

 

UT's football record versus aggy:

76 - 37 - 5

My fuzzy math says:

118 games
113 games with a winner
Horns have won 2/3 of those 113 games
76 wins of those 113 games

 

So y’all know how I just went on this rant about how A&M does not have any real accomplishments.... well John Sharp provided his response:

If you have to have a poll to ask if you're embarrassing yourself, guess what Aggy?

 

85 percent say it's embarrassing. You guys have been busy!!

 

868 votes and now 86% embarrassing.

 

Even the College Station police are making fun

 

By Andy Staples of SI -

 

I wouldn't say they've flat-out sucked. They've been enough of a semi-respectable program, most of the time, that Texas having a winning record all-time in Kyle Field is a meaningful accomplishment. I wouldn't put it in our top 5 accomplishments, but it's a big deal nonetheless.

 

Precisely. By comparison the period of time between 1984 to 1994 when they had a winning record against us, for once, IS one of their top 5 accomplishments.

I'd argue that beating Bama that one time, and owning Texas for a period of ten years are their top 2 accomplishments, and that is pretty sad. Especially when you consider they were cheating their asses off during that period, and we were not good at all.

 

You talking bout the Fed-Ex years?

 

A&M was cheating long before Fred Smith created FedEx. They weren't very good at it then, and they still aren't, as evidenced by their TransAm and Cutlass fiascoes.

The first thing Jackie recognized when he arrived in Brazos County was a lack of control by the athletic department over cheating.

What I was once told, "There is no organization, just a bunch of guys running around, out of control. It needed to be unionized. If you are the starting RB, and your momma gets $400/month, and I'm demoted to third string and my momma is getting $750/month, you either demand a raise or give only 50% on Saturday. We have to organize and unionize payments."

 

Must be talking about the Lady Ags winning the national championship in Basketball back in 2011.

Texas A&M University = Where the ladies were champions and the men are cheerleaders.
