Texas A&M Joins SEC, Claims Two More National Titles, Two More Conference Titles
13 years ago

File this one under “Why do you guys keep forcing me to write this shit about you?” But really, why do you guys keep forcing me to write this shit about you?

The above photo is the AFTER. And this one is the before:

Notice the two extra natties and two extra conference championships added during the most recent stadium facade facelift? The photo at the top was taken very recently, as members of the Southeastern Conference. The “before” photo was taken when the Ags were just going through the motions in the Big 12 – you know, just the World War II era, one-natty also-ran that regularly found itself at the business end of many jokes.

It’s just that these jokes are writing themselves now. Do you want an example of just how ridiculous this is? Click here to watch a recap of the 1997 Big 12 Championship game, a game where Nebraska stomped the Aggies out 54 to 15. Texas A&M is now claiming the 1997 conference title. I mean c’mon, man.

It was even added to their official website.

    This is just like kansas basketball hanging banners for “national championships” that weren’t even games, but were voted on.

    I could be totally wrong but I thought those national titles were claimed because we went unscored upon those years. I think that deserves it.
    As far as the conference titles, it sounds like BS they tried to justify by using conference records? I don’t so much agree with that

      in the 1927 college football season, Tennessee, not Texas A&M, never allowed another team to score. Furthermore, A&M was voted as the #11 team in 1927.

    Where do they get off claiming 1939? Tennessee didn’t allow a point en route to a national championship that year.
    You read that correctly.
    Tennessee was unscored-upon en route to being crowned the national champions.

      Unfortunately, the Vols lost 14-0 to the USC Trojans in the Rose Bowl that year.

      In the earlier part of the century the bowl game wasn’t the focal point of the season. The championship was awarded before the bowl game and teams rarely took the entire squad to the bowls anyway. Such was the case in 1939. Tennessee played against USC with less than the entire team and didn’t care too much about winning an exhibition game.
