I35,
That post you pulled from over there is telling; we use the word delusional in reference to A&M so often that it has lost it's impact but the fact is the word is entirely appropriate. They lost five games last year yet they believe they are a player. They last won a national championship the year Germany attacked Poland. They had periods of excellent results on the field but both were facilitated by major NCAA infractions. They left the conference complaining about UT, meaning they lost the off the field battle, then threw stones boasting of the SEC. This was an attempt to retroactively accrue the legacy of the SEC onto themselves. And then then there's the painting of old national championships purportedly won during the Roaring Twenties or whenever they ocurred.
The Aggie way is Ego Before Accomplishment. That is why they are shocked when things don't go their way. The cult is too insular for introspection apparently.
Texas is going through a mudslide right now and we have no idea if these five guys are going to all announce UT or A&M (or for that matter TCU). But the important thing is to NOT BE AGGIE. Recognize it's a process (sounds like Jason Garrett) and Charlie is working to rebuild the foundation of what should be a strong (no pun intended) program for years to come.
Hopefully we're on that path right now.
