Ha ha, me neither. Long john shirts in the winter are the closest I can come to wearing a long sleeve tee.

depressing we have to go back 65 years to get to our last National championship year.

i just end up walking around all day pushing my sleeves up over and over again.

I want wins.

How TF could they not incorporate that old style Block T logo into a nice cap? Also, I like the apparel but I am not warm to the fact that I would be sporting clothes that mentioned a championship 75 years ago.

Throwback = Sexy
Throwback = Clean
Throwback = Bad Azz Branding

Darn it...the admissions counselor at A&M said I would be a boss 5 years after I graduated.

LIES!!!!!

That zip up is ILL!!! The long sleeve shirt is too

Throwback jerseys - thumbs up

Throwback jerseys with Adidas logo and SEC logo - thumbs down

Can we do anything nowadays without looking like a walking billboard???

If you were alive for the game, then you can celebrate it.

Real question - do we have any players from the 1939 Team who will be at the game?

At least we have ONE LEGITIMATE one. In the grand scheme of things, not many programs can say that

Of that, you pretty much should just ignore Yale, Harvard, and Princeton, as that was in the very earliest era when there only, what, five schools playing football at all?

That still yields 59 teams out of currently 124 with titles (including them). Of those, a number aren't even in D-1A anymore:

Moved to D-1AA:

Princeton
Yale
Harvard
Cornell
ND State
Penn
Colgate
Columbia
Dartmouth

Moved to D-III:

Centre
Chicago
Washington & Jefferson

Detroit doesn't even play football anymore.

Strip those out, and that's 46 programs with claims to national titles. Still a fairly exclusive club, but a sizable percentage of the total.

On the other hand, there's also the question of the veracity of those poll and computer results, and the fact that the idea of a bona fide title game is only a recent development, leading to so many concurrent undefeated teams in prior decades.

Perhaps it's better to look at only those clubs with multiple titles, of which A&M is one of them. Only 35 in total. Of those with three or more, 30.

It's a dicey subject, but A&M's '39 champion is quite widely recognized as the champion of that year. Only one source lists USC as the champ for that year (at 8-0-2), while two others say Cornell. A&M has the best record of the three at 11-0.
