Let's not forget the Sips refused to play Texas A&M after Charlie Moran beat them a few times. Overall records don't mean much when you cancel an ongoing series because you're losing. Both LSU and Texas refused to play A&M due to losing.

Lol they did? That's hilarious. I never knew that.

Only game that matters or that we can win is this year's…

Yes most of their wins came in the early 1900s when you might play the same team three times in a season, due to general difficulty of traveling long distances. tu fans conveniently disregard this.

I like to refer to it as "tu's dominance during the horse and buggy days"

---

That's how I refer to our days of winning national championships

The post-WW2 wear was really bad for A&M in the series.

A&M was still a small, all male, mandatory military school in a post-war time when people were wanting to get on with life and start families. Lots of changes going on in the country but not at a&M.

If you look at the breakdown in the OP we went 3-20-1 from after the war until 1975.

We had a similarly bad streak over a slightly shifted timeframe against Arky that really skewed that series. Of course, since joining the SEC we've made a lot of progress evening that one up.

Thanks

Didn't tu also make A&M fire him in order to get into the SWC?

We were a founding member.

from the article.

However, the SWC's creation was being led by L. Theo Bellmont, professor and Athletics Director at the University of Texas. A&M soon found that admission into the SWC was conditioned on firing Charlie Moran. If the Aggies kept Charlie Moran as head coach, the Longhorns would not only refuse to play them but would also deny them admission into the SWC.

Seems like we'd just change his title instead of letting him go altogether.

*Most of their wins came...when we were an all male Military College with no females enrolled.

Seems like that's an additional point that just might have had an impact.

Notre Dame didn't become coed until the early 70s and they were the dominant face of college football in the 20th century. And anyone can pick arbitrary numbers to skew stats. And it also cracks me up that people want to say "who cares what happened in the old days?" when there are national championship claims on the stadium from before 1920.

That hypocrisy goes both ways though. People will dismiss those old championships but still tout the all time record that goes back even further.
