Colorado is a P5 school and has a national title as recently as… Looks up our last title vs theirs. Oh yea they aren't in the same league.

---

This is mostly BS. Looking at who did things most recently is a fools game. 1990 is as far away as 1939 the way things stand now in college football. Go watch a tape of a game from that time. It isn't unrecognizable but it isn't much like what we see today. Just like 1939.

While they do have a title, they were extremely lucky on the timing. They have exactly 3 11-win seasons, and their worst record among the three (11-1-1) was the year they won their AP National Championship (G-Tech won the UPI). The year before they went 11-1 and finished 3rd; in '89 they had the same record and finished 4th. If you don't call what happened in 1990 luck, I don't know what you call it. Had Miami not lost to BYU early, I don't think CU gets enough votes. Heck, had BYU shut up and played the Holiday Bowl and beat us, THEY might have gotten enough votes to keep CU from winning, but that's unlikely. At any rate, A&M has had ZERO luck with respect to the year when we've had a good number of wins or been in a good position. Remember 2012? 1992? Heck, 1994?

A&M has more 11+ win seasons, and has 58 more wins since that '89 season, which includes A&M's worst decade in the last 5 or so. We had at least 3 seasons where, had the ball bounced our way the way it did Colorado's way in 1990, we would have won a national championship.

Well I just looked up what happened in 1939 and the big event was the Nazis invading Poland. This was before they started their bombing campaign on the moon.

Nice deflection….

CU is one of those programs that just has a very high ceiling and a very low floor. They remind me of teams like Arkansas, Ole Miss, or even a place like South Carolina. If things go really well there, you can finish anywhere in the top 10, even number 1. But if things go bad, they can be really, really bad, too.

Just remember when it's A&M losing players it's because we suck.

When everyone else loses players its culling.

The best thing about this is it's about to be a perfect experiment for the theory that the transfer portal is at least as important as high school recruiting.

What kind of turnaround can he get via a team with mostly transfer portal players.

---

Obviously this is on a much grander scale, but didn't TCU bring in a bunch of transfers last year

Thank you. Critically important to note that Snyder's juco QB had the game won, but decided to fumble instead, thus opening the door to the greatest moment in A&M football history since 1939. Which of course proves that the transfer portal won't work.

We'll see how he does. I don't think he has any idea how hard college football staffs have to work. 16 hour days week after week. Maybe he can evaluate skill position talent and motivate, but I can't imagine he and his staff have what it takes to build and sustain a winning program.

I think they will start off slow, improve in year 2-3, then fall off a cliff after that.

---

I don't think I'd worry about the work ethos of a dude who played at a high level for 16 years in the NFL, simultaneously had a decent MLB career, and has already totally turned around one college football program.

---

Yeah. There is a pretty specific formula to be successful in college football. Everybody knows it. He's chunked the formula and thinks he knows better. We'll see.

---

I don't know how that relates to the work ethic of he and his staff, but if there was a specific formula for success, coaches wouldn't get paid the big bucks they get paid.

Sounds good. So let's pretend for a second that 1990 and 1939 are basically the same as it regards to recent success, which frankly is a very questionable premise, but fine.

How many conference championships does Colorado have compared to A&M in the B12? I'm assuming we have way more since we are making fun of them? Turns out they have the exact same number of B12 championships which seems odd since we are in a completely different league as Colorado. OK now surely we have more division and conference championships than Colorado since we both left the B12. Well it seems we have the same. Which is zero.

To us we are far better (we do have more wins and bowl wins) but to the rest of the world we are two teams who haven't done much of anything in a very long time. The only difference is that we spend like Saudi princes and every few years we are a dark horse to do big things.

Would I want to trade places with them? Absolutely not, but I'm not going to crow about how superior we are either.

This dude is in way over his head. That staff looked ridiculous in the clips I saw. Fighting with each other and arguing with the refs during a glorified scrimmage? Can't wait to see the on field product when they aren't in control of the game script.

I said a lot not most. 16-17 year old parents, 16-17 year old recruits (plus we start recruiting heavily in their junior years).

It is what it is.

I don't think anyone is crowing about how great we've done… unless we are bragging about being way higher on the list of teams that do less with more. And we aren't sitting around hoping we can get back in the Big 12 so I guess we have that going for us as well. Yea?

Let me put it another way: I remember when I was still in my early 30's, and my first kid is still a baby like I'm sure a lot of you were since we went the college route, then you want to get settled in the real world and all that. Anyway, I start seeing these posts on Facebook from my high school classmates about how they are becoming grandparents while I'm still changing diapers, and I'm thinking, "Well… hell, this is sobering." LOL.

On a positive note, the band returns most1st. chair starters as well as head drum major Willie "Highstep" Porter. Most losses come from the tuba section with the loss of 4yr. starter "Chubby" Johnson due to graduation and 2nd chair tuba-miester Joey Cornelius who hit the band portal last week. Also, 1st. chair saxophonist Bob "Squeaky" Lieberman was lost for the season after accidentally choking on the reed after coming dislodged from his horns mouthpiece. Coach prime is said to scouring the portal to shore-up the losses.

He had the game won? Well what happened? Quit your freaking crying. You PLAY the entirety of the game. Again, Bill never even sniffed another opportunity like that. Good teams no doubt, but never reached it again.
