Texas Football: 5 things Longhorns fans hate about Aggies

3. So called “tradition and success”

Seeing how the Aggies tried to bolster themselves outside Kyle Field ahead of the 2012 regular season, their inaugural showing in SEC West play, was just downright wrong. Texas A&M went from saying that they claimed a few national titles ahead of the 2012 season, to picking up two more championships out of nowhere according to Rant Sports.

Texas A&M put on the outside of Kyle Field that they won the Big 12 in 1997 and 2010. In 1997, Nebraska destroyed the Aggies in the Big 12 Championship Game, altough they did win the South Division. In 2010, the Aggies didn’t even go to the Big 12 Championship Game as they finished with a three-way tie at the top of the South Division standings. They came in third place in that tiebreaker and the Oklahoma Sooners beat Nebraska in the conference title game.

Moreover, this highlights how desperate the Texas A&M fans and boosters can be to compete with other college football programs in this region of the country. Texas A&M surely has a lot of money and a large fan following, but that rarely translates to success on the field among the nation’s most prominent programs.

Texas A&M is one of those schools that claims a lot of national titles, but never actually won a game that proved they were the nation’s best team. In football, the Longhorns have four actual national titles and 47 overall NCAA National Championships for the school which ranks sixth in the nation. Texas A&M only has 12 NCAA National Championships across the board.
