Things that have happened since Texas A&M’s last National Championship in football (1939)

Few thoughts lol

1. There were only 48 states the last time A&M won a natty.

2. Can't wait to see what's in this thread. Also I can't imagine how many different things went through your head before you came to this board-appropriate topic lol

3. I know you're headed to Longview so I hope that's not the Whataburger right off I-20 by Lindale. Hit the drive thru on the way home from a game in East Texas a few years ago and it was the worst Whataburger experience I've ever had. Didn't even finish the burger and the experience was so bad I still remember it 

4. If you're in East Texas and want a burger, go to Juicy's Hamburgers. They're terrific. Looking forward to hitting it next week when I'm in Longview

Did my own digging…

Texas A&M’s last national championship is older than the NBA, NASCAR, color television, and the Super Bowl. Matter of fact the first ever televised college football game occurred the same season they won. 

Also, in 1939 the average cost of a new house was $4,000

Whataburger doesn’t seem to travel well. Outside of the Corpus/SA/Austin belt they just aren’t the same. 
 

To be fair most burger chains don’t.

The passing of just about everybody who witnessed that championship.
