The streak is over.
The combined domination added up to nearly 70 years.

The streak is over.






But in a very fitting way. The most meager of sports managed to pull off the most meager of wins to stop the streak.


Otherwise, Tards, we still own your asses.


************************************************************

The guidelines:
Must be a team sport with head to head competition(no track, golf, etc. in which we own the tards anyway)
In sports with multiple games in a season, scoreboard goes to series winner. Regular season only for simplification.
If a series ties, scoreboard remains with the last team to win.

As you can see, the last loss in a team sport came in baseball, the next was '08 in football. Tard has been unusually impotent against the Ags the last several years.
In fact, here are the raw, gruesome, unfiltered numbers for A&M:

1,046 - number of days since last loss against Tech in anything
1,1216 - number of days since last loss against tech in football
98 - total number of games/competitions going back that A&M has held scoreboard over Tech in all sports
3,891 - number of days A&M has held scoreboard over tech in soccer
12 - Average win margin over Tech in basketball
22,030 - number of consecutive days A&M has held scoreboard over tech cumulatively in all sports(ie 1046 in baseball + 1216 in football etc.)
22,030 days = 60.2 years
15 - Average margin of victory over tech in football during that span
9/9 - A&M currently holds scoreboard over tech in all 9 team sports
51 - number of BigXII titles for A&M
11 - number of BigXII titles for tech
11 - number of national championships for A&M during 3 year span
1 - number of national championships for tech in their history

here's a picture of the trophy case, just frm the last 3 years.



*This information is old but was current when the thread started*
Rankings as of spring 2011
A&M is ranked in every team sport except volleyball.
A&M is ranked in 15 out of the 16 sports that it competes in.
Tech is not ranked in any team sport.


Football
A&M #17 BCS #19 AP final 2010 rank
Tech-unranked. Only 1 decent win in 2010

Basketball
A&M #24 Final Poll 2010. Recruiting off the charts with new coach.
Tech-unranked and terrible

W. Basketball
A&M #1 National Champions
Tech-unranked

Baseball
A&M #7 Baseball America - big 12 champs - College World Series
Tech-unranked

Softball
A&M #20
Tech-unranked

Soccer
A&M #6
Tech-unranked

*Bonus sports that aren't part of this comparison*
Mens Track - #1 3-time National Champions back to back to back
Womens Track - #1 3-time National Champions back to back to back

**Bonus Academic information and rankings**

Texas A&M - AAU Member Research University. Land, Space, and Sea Grant Institution. 48,000 students. Major contracts with the Department of Defense, Energy, and Homeland Security Department.

Texas Tech - No prestigious national academic affiliations. 36,000 students

Endowment
A&M - $6 Billion
Tech - $434 Million

Annual Research Expenditures
A&M - $652 Million(more than Tech's entire endowment)
Tech - $27 Million(less than they spend on their awful athletics program)

Annual Research Expenditures in science and engineering
A&M - $600 Million(3rd nationally behind MIT and Berkeley)
Tech - $27 Million or less(no data)

USNWR ranking 2010
A&M - #63
Tech - #159(Tier 3 under the old category system)

Washington Monthly 2010
A&M - #20
Tech - #221

Average freshman SAT score
A&M - 1210
Tech - 1100
The SAT has a standard deviation of 100. So a 110 average difference represents a huge gap. Especially when the sample size is tens of thousands of students.

Unfortunately for Tech, we're better than them in that too. However, track and golf, we're awesome at, aren't counted in this list.

This is a compelling story.

If no Tech fans show up to the even does it still count?

They did beat us in one thing this year.

Having to use the "Tarp of Shame"
Tech: 1
A&M: 0

nice.

tech owns us in meat judging.

f*** my ass

Fun fact:

Despite now being "Tier One" in USNWR, at #159

the following schools are ranked the same as Texas Tech:

-The University of North Dakota!

-The University of Maryland...Baltimore County!

-The University of Maine!

-Florida Tech! (apparently there IS a FL Tech?)

The following schools are ranked HIGHER than Texas Tech:

- Illinois State!
- Mississippi State!
- The University of Wyoming!
- The University of Idaho!
- The University of Alabama... at Birmingham!
- The University of Texas... at Dallas!
- The University of Illinois... at Chicago!

Serious question: Where is A&M ranked compared to some of the other Big 12 schools in the state of Texas, besides Texas Tech?

They wonder why the PAC doesn't want them.

there are only 2 other Texas big 12 schools tard. We're ahead of Baylor and just behind Texas on this list. Did you have a point tard? A&M is the 2nd highest ranked academic school in the big12. And is the #1 athletic program according to the directors cup. Do you have a point?

If I had a retarded kid, I would have serious concerns about sending him to Tech.

"Just behind"? Bahahahaha.

Texas #45
A&M #63

Yep, nipping at Texas's heels. A&M running academic smack....too rich.

yes, I'd call 18 spots just behind when there are over 1800 colleges and universities in the u.s.
If you count just publics, a&m is only 2 spots and 9 places behind UT.
Do you think before you post tard? Did you really think you got me? Btw, tard is ranked 159. If you think 9 spots is a lot, what does being 100 spots behind say about your glorified junior college?

Pure awesomeness.

5-7 keep it coming

Oh man, please keep updating this.

A couple of points.

1. There's a 2-way tie at #45. That's considered one place.

2. There's a 3-way tie at #47. That's also considered one place.

3. There's a 2-way tie at #51. ONE place.

4. There's a 2-way tie at #53. ONE place.

5. There's a 7-way tie at 56. That's considered ONE place.

T45, T47, 50, T51, T53, 55, T56

That, for all intents and purposes, is a SEVEN place differential.

This kind of curbstomping is the reason I come to Rivalries.

Forgot one. University of Hawai'i-Manoa.

tceh:


you just got knocked the f*** out.

Arguing that #45 is far ahead of #63 in a ranking that considers that many schools is like trying to argue that the #14 football team is much better than the #15 team.

Your point stands either way, but it's more like the #3 team saying they're much better than the #4 team. Thumbs up for both schools.

Bump after W. basketball win. It's become almost a full time jobs keeping track of this beatdown.

All this chest thumping over a school I thought wasn't your rival. Seems like this "non-rival" occupies a lot of space in the heads of many aggies.

Apparently you're very obsessed with A&M since you're posting on an Aggie site
