AM = Mich. State - weird coincidence

[THEYESOFTXS]

I hear folks often discuss how the Tex/OU/A&M triangle is very similar to Mich/OSU/MSU...

Check out these stats:

Texas defeats OU 58.3% of the time.
Michigan defeats OSU 57.7% of the time.

Texas defeats A&M 66.2% of the time.
Michigan defeats MSU 69.5% of the time.

And in other news...

Texas defeats Tech 75.4% of the time.
Michigan defeats Purdue 77.4% of the time.

I guess that means that A&M is 9% better than Tech.

And Texas defeats Michigan 100% of the time and tOSU roughly 50% of the time!

ou sucks 100% of the time

We only defeat USC 20% of the time but what a %!

^ Once is good enough for me!!

 

[Statalyzer]

20% of the time is still twice as often as what Reggie predicted!

I'm pretty sure it was Leinart who made that prediction.

 

[scharnell]

what is Purdue's % over MSU...(i.e. Tech over a&m)?

MSU is as close as you can get when trying to compare A&M's football history to another school's.

One problem in comparison, Michigan State has won 3 national championships in football. 1952, 1965, 1966. Not completely like aggy. I would say new mexico state and utah state are closer to aggy

 

[Bob in Houston]

MSU has the same sort of inferiority complex regarding Michigan. They desperately want Michigan to notice them. Michigan could not care less.

Since I've lived this one, I wish it weren't true, but it is.
