They are not even the best team in your state...Sorry, I do not hate the Aggies but sometimes the truth hurts. So to say you should know a defense because of your Aggies is so far from the truth. If you were to say I love the Aggies, I am a big fan and I try to follow the path of their defense in the 90's I might go for that.....sorry for the ramble, but to hear a comment like that from say a Ohio State, USC, Florida, Michigan,or even a Texas (god forgive me for saying that)fan, I could at least understand. Good luck to your team and I hope the Aggies take down the Longhorns and Raiders this year!
I'm guessing that upper level reading skills escape Oklahomans for the most part but I'll try and help you out.
I said that we know what defense "should" be. Never in my statement did I bring up anything about being a "dynasty". Nor did I mention being an "upper tier" Program at the moment.
If you care to do some research into what A&M's defensive national rankings were in the late 80s and early 90s you'll find they were extremely high. Only an inbred Okie would fail to realize that they did in fact have some very good defenses during that time period.
And only someone with half of his brain cooked out from breathing in meth fumes all day at his lab (Oklahoma's #3 gross domestic product behind oil and Indian trinkets) would fail to realize that I had only stated that having graduated from A&M during the mid 90s we were around to watch those defenses on the field and that nowhere in that statement did I make claims of grandeur for the overall A&M program but merely stated that the defenses during this time period were highly ranked and that is what we strive for.
I realize there are some very big words in the above paragraphs so I might suggest you go check out The Dictionary from the OU library, unless one of those "per capita" Merit Scholars has it checked out for his thesis on the molecular chemistry of C10H15N.
Good day sir.
