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

[Gerry Hamilton]

I’ll start …

Founded in 1950

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.

[Tuco Ramirez]

[Freehorn]

[Lnghrn]

[DanielOnorato]

Imagine sending your kid to be a yell leader...

[Andy Arnold]

Isn’t there some kind of discrepancy on them even being the champs that year? 
 

they brag about their traditions but they can’t brag about winning!!  
 

all there traditions are about the fans!!!!  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What do you expect when you have all male cheer dudes and you mix farm boys with fake military people! 
 

who on earth would choose a Collie to represent them? And why? Is it because Collies round up and protect sheep???

like Dennis Miller said about Joe Dirt, “you are exquisitely pathetic!!!!

The sad part is they all think it’s cool😂😂

If you won your last national title before the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor, then it doesn't really count.

@Gerry Hamilton are you as disappointed as I am that this thread hasn’t blown up?!?! Much like the Aggies chances to win a national championship in the 21st century
