So there are two college football stadiums named after people that started at A&M and transferred elsewhere? Or are there even more?

I bet those jokers think they won the natty in '39 just because they weren't scored on all season.

I'm thinking Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater.

Ah that's right! Forgot about him. Do we then count Bear Bryant since he coached here?

One of you historians might want to research this.
I heard we came about that close to hiring the good general, but couldn't close the deal.
The person that is not willing to fight and die, if need be, for his country has no right to life.

A few years ago I was presented the Neyland Award by the Knoxville Touchdown Club. General Neyland's son gave me the award. it was a bust of the General. He told me about his dad attending Texas A&M. He said that his dad followed A&M and had great respect for the school..

Cool story, bro.

He probably would claim the 1939 championship if he was around today.

It sounds like they may have deserved it.
Out scoring opponents 212-0…and winning MNC the year before and after.

Texas A&M outscored its opp 198-18 in the reg season.
TN outscored its opponents 212-0.

In their Bowl, #2 TN lost 0-14 to #3USC while #1 A&M beat #5 Tulane 14-13.

Ironically both teams scored 212 pts, but only A&M went undefeated.

In typical California fashion, USC in 2004 declared its '39 team national champions, despite its 8-0-2 record to A&M's perfect 11-0.

Well here's to hoping he designed a stadium that favors an Ags win!

In all seriousness that's an awesome thread! What a stud of a man.
