It can't be a coincidence. The great disparity in relative success. What can be learned by their methods? Their leader ship traits?

Longhorn fans wanted Satk gone in his first season. In his 3rd and 4th year they are in the semi finals. (Having the very easiest path in the playoffs helps) A lot of Aggies have the same impatience as the horn fans that wanted Sark gone. Elko did a great job taking over a program that frankly was a mess. Our top two backs got hurt. Our starting QB went completely off the rails. Elko is recruiting well and killing it in the portal. Not being a sunshine pumper. But anybody who actually knows football knew Sark would get the horns there. Same with Elko. No need to go to Texas for advice. Elko is on the right track, baseball is really good, softball coach was the right hire and they are really good. Basketball is ranked 13, Volleyball reached the sweet 16. So I do not know why you think everything is bad.

The OP seems like a horn stationed on a leader ship.

It's simple they are a school that pumps out lawyers that know how to read people and contracts. We are a school that pumps out engineers that go in to oil. Those guys are risk takers that fail a lot of the time. We need lawyers not wildcatters making decisions.

Get off your knees and stop making an a** of yourself. Sark went 5-7 and 8-5 his first two seasons with cow.

Any fact finding mission would be better spent in Tuscaloosa, Baton Rouge, Athens, Columbus, Ann Arbor, even Norman over Austin.

t.u. had a good season last year and this year..... the 20 years prior they were OUs bi+ch and the most underperforming program in the country.

If you want to learn anything from cow, it is to make a hire and give him time, 3-4 years, before you declare it a failure and call to fire him. Again, cow was 5-7 and 8-5 in Sark's first two seasons. You would have been calling for him to be murdered after year 1 and fired after year 2....

Hi- I just wanted to respond to a couple of the points in this post. I am a University of Texas (UT/tu) graduate with undergrad and professional degrees. I have close friends who are aggies and we approach the rivalry in a friendly and fun manner. I have a great deal of respect for A & M and most of its traditions and customs. I would agree that Texas has had way too many years of underperforming in the last 20 years. There have been some good years, however, as you all know, including;
1)one national championship
2)another year in which Texas lost a national championship game. It was a good game.
3) Several conference championships-2005, 2009, 2023 at least
4) CFP 2023 record 0-1
5) CFP 2024 Won 2 games (so far)- in semi-finals or "final four,"

Texas A & M has won 144 games in the last 20 years
Texas has won 174 games (this difference was not as much as I thought it would be)
Texas A & M has had 1 season of 10 or more wins in the last 20 years
Texas has had 8 seasons of 10 or more wins in the last 20 years

I suppose that my point is that both teams have had successes over the years but neither has performed up to its own expectations or those of its students or alumni.
I look forward to the continuing rivalry with successes for each school.

Quite honestly, except for baseball and men's basketball, nothing else matters to most people here.

Our problem has been to give them the keys to the kingdom after any success. Need to wait until they actually win something.
Fight against the dictatorship of the federal bureaucracy!
