Just to right the wrong on a recent coffee and football podcast, Texas A&M most certainly was not ranked number one by the AP poll in 2012. We have to go back to the 1957 season when undefeated Texas A&M was ranked number one 10/28, 11/4 and 11/11. What happened to spoil this perfect season you might ask? A&M lost to Rice 7 to 6 and then lost to Texas the following week. They followed this with a loss to Tennessee in the bowl game. Typical Aggie. The only other time A&M was ranked #1 was in 1939. That was when some enterprising Aggies borrowed $50k from a bank in Dallas run by an Aggie and bought almost all of the top 50 players in Texas. I don’t remember the year, but probably 1937.

Exactly. Archie wants him at Texas in 2027.

Glowing!

You never read any preseason practice reports? I believed those just like I believe this one. Hopefully I won’t be disappointed this time. But they were equally emphatic.

I am sure that Ohio State worries more about the team up North but there’s a cadence to the Texas/Ohio State rivalry. W/L/W/L. We are the better team, but we are also due.

This is having 2010-15 vibes. 😱

Other than Brian Bosworth??

The shooter was killed in a separate incident weeks later.

Sure, happy to do so. Btw, you are wrong. Every class is mostly Texas recruits. The question is did the other coaches, recruit more players from outside of Texas. If you can’t see the difference, I can’t help you. 2014 - Texas 17, Florida 2, Louisiana 2, Arizona 1, SC 1 2015 - Texas 19, Florida 5, California 1, Maryland 1 , Louisiana 1, New York 1 2016 - Texas 24, Louisiana 4, California 1 2017 - Texas 13, Florida 1, Alabama 1, Mississippi 1, Georgia 1, Oklahoma 1 2018 - Texas 19, California 2, Missouri 2, Louisiana 1, Utah 1, Oklahoma 1

No, not really. Of course everyone’s going to have a majority of the players from Texas, including Sark. But Strong and Herman were less Texas centric than Mack.

Mack Brown really only recruited Texas. Schools used to negative recruit Texas with out of state prospects, saying that they wouldn’t be favored. 2006 class - Texas 20, Colorado 1, SC 1 2007 - Texas 23, California 1 2008 - Texas 19, Colorado 1 2009 - Texas 19, Arkansas 1 2010 - Texas 22, Louisiana 1, Ohio 1, Oklahoma 1

Who are our kickoff returners?

He has been a silent ever since Bobby started saying that we absolutely needed a big time running back in this class. So maybe in the last 3-5 days?

I think the question should be why has OU always been our main rival and not A&M. It certainly not proximity and definitely not academic rivalry. It is because OU has always been a strong football program and the games usually have national significance. Even though Arkansas never surpassed OU as a rivalry during the SWC days it was certainly viewed as a bigger rivalry than A&M for the same reason. A&M has always been the biggest in-state rival. And there never has been any question about who A&M views as their biggest rival.

OU lost another in-state battle to OSU. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this before.
