The fact is they have reached a conference championship game and the playoffs before the Ags. I have been a die-hard supporter of A&M since the first game I attended in the 90s. There are no excuses at this point for 26 years of mediocrity.
The excuse is that the South West Conference died.
Texas A&M had established itself as the premier football school in the state of Texas generating 6 different 10 win seasons between 1980 and 1995.
Since the formation of the BIGXII in 1996 the A&M football program has only exceeded 10 wins in two seasons which were 1998 and 2012.
If I were the A&M AD I would seriously look at the ACC or BIGXII. I guess it comes down to priorities.
If your priority is $$$ then the SEC is the best choice.
If your priority is championship trophies......then I don't know if the SEC is the best option for that.
We have a 30 year sample size to see that the SWC breaking up was not good for Texas A&M.
When I tell the younger kids that A&M used to be great in football they don't believe me.
