If you are referring to 1970 or thereabouts, in that era teams were actually declared national champs prior to their bowl for some damn reason. This is not to defend the sips, just pointing out what I have read regarding that time.

---

Actually it was the UPI vote that voted before the bowl games. AP voted after.

---

Ahahaha, my brother threw his T bone and fried shrimp clear across the room when he walked into the TV room. He asked my Dad the score, Dad snickering told him the Irish just scored again, we didn't see him for days until he had to go back for next semester. Damn that 2nd tbone was great too!

Don't we have a plaque dedicated to a big 12 championship we didn't win?

No. I think you are referring to the 2010 Big 12 South championship that we did win. (3 way tie with OU/OSU) It was listed on a list of championships that was on Kyle. t-sips attacked us for falsely claiming a championship, but they were wrong.

If you read the rules of the Big 12 at that time we did tie for the championship and were co-champions. OU "advanced" to the title game based on the title game tie-breaker rules. But the rules were very clear that we were co-champions.

It is typical sip to mock for something like that. Never mind any claim they might have made for that 5-way tie for second place back in 94, or that parade they threw for a third place finish in 98

Hell, we gave Jimbo a F'n Natty plaque!

---

Maybe the dumbest thing our football program has ever done and that's saying g something.

---

And yet, we still have Sharpe as Chancellor. Remember when he tried to have 12 empty seats at Kyle to represent the 12th Man? Terrible!!

Regarding A&M's 2010 claim. As pointed out. That is the rightful claim of the Big 12 South Division champions in which we tied.

I mean they made it to the final four the last two year. I enjoy the tears, but let's not go overboard. Everyone On here thought they'd be 6-6 if they had to play in the SEC…

---

Lol. Nobody thought they'd go 6-6, and they probably do go 8-4 if they played more than 1 of the Top 5 SEC teams.

Are you confusing this with The Asterisk in Austin?

You are absolutely correct. Today there is no way they would've been crowned as national champions based on getting beat their final game. Also, there's the issue that Vince Young's knee was down when they won their last national championship. Cheaters never truly are winners.

Hmmm. I wouldn't say boo to 12 empty seats for the fallen at 99 Bonfire.

Did we played in the SEC? Win 8 games?
At this "point in time" they are better than us...
Who did we beat that they wouldn't have?

We all know sip would have scored if they wanted to, gotten the 2-point conversion, and played in and won the natty next Monday. Give it to them!

Sankey gifted them quite an easy inaugural schedule. The .500 SEC predictions were predicated on playing the grind of Alabama, LSU, Ole Miss, Tennessee, and Georgia week after week. They played one of these aforementioned schools and lost twice.

---

Yes they are awful... and they beat us at home...

I was so glad to watch Ohio State defeat Texas 28-14 to prevent them from making their first National Championship Game appearance since 2009, but Texas has been elite over the last two years:

1. Texas is 25-5 over the last two years, including 15-2 (8-1 Big 12 in 2023 and 7-1 SEC in 2024) in regular season conference games.

2. Texas has made back-to-back conference championship game appearances and CFP semifinal appearances.

3. Texas has won an FBS leading 11 consecutive road games since a 41-34 loss at Oklahoma State on 10/22/2022.

4. Texas has the No. 1 recruiting class in the country.

To their credit, the recruiting and development components of their program is built to produce NFL draft picks, just like Saban was doing. Saban built an NFL prospect factory, and his brightest pupils are trying to replicate it. Kirby's done it, Sark seemingly has done it, and Kiffin's trying like hell.

Last year t.u. had 11 players drafted.
This year they'll likely have 10+ again.
Then look at Georgia....then Ohio State....those teams are built to win it, and it certainly showed in their games vs t.u.

Now compare to us....who had 4 players drafted last year??
And this year, we'll likely have 3, maybe?
Whenever we played t.u., things looked wayyyyyy different than when Georgia and OhSt played them.

We're not winning the SEC and competing for Nattys with a team that only puts in 3-ish draft picks a year.
Maybe we'll squirrel out in the near future and make the playoff a little earlier than expected....but to win this conference, let alone win a Natty....we're just not built for that yet.
