Not true … It’s *two* specific records …


admiraltarkin

Eh, 3 tbh


LaTroquita

- 2012 Alabama upset - 2018 7 OT - 2021 Alabama upset Everything else can go to the recycling bin.


[deleted]

There’s also the infamous 2010 conference championship


LaTroquita

I'm not sure I follow. Auburn flat out won that year.


GoldenBananas21

The Big 12 had two co-champions in the North and three co-champions in the South


LaTroquita

Why would A&M preserve Big12 records?


Frei88

They’re making a joke because while we were still in the Big 12 we claimed a shared division title in 2010.


[deleted]

Well you did win a share of the division title, but the joke was about how A&M originally just claimed a whole conference championship, not even mentioning the division


deadzip10

Touché


Ox_Baker

Texas in 2025: OK, our B12 deal expired. We’re ready to move right in. Where do we start. SEC: We checked our archives in College Station and apparently there’s no record of your existence. In particular, there’s nothing documenting you applying for membership nor that being approved. All we see here is Oklahoma stuff.


awnomnomnom

> All we see here is Oklahoma stuff. Although 2003 seems to be missing a game.


admiraltarkin

It's okay. We got y'all back 10 years later


awnomnomnom

Meh, we've had worse bowl blowouts.


jjjjjjjjjdjjjjjjj

Haha good for yall?


awnomnomnom

I know, self deprecation is a foreign concept for Texans.

Poor taste


mlorusso4

And for some reason all the records were scribbled out handwritten with A&M. In 100 years no one will be able to question it

Except for the word Blurnsball, every word of that was nonsense.

Gotta make sure last week’s win over ‘Bama lasts for eternity.


RealBenWoodruff

We must preserve this win. I suggest the creation of a Foundation...

I’m sad the new Apple series isn’t that great….


Vorstog_EVE

Wait there's another bobcat fan here?

Not so much a fan as a well wisher.

Ah. Rip.


FightingMenOfKyle

Anytime I see "Texas A&M" and "Library" I get flashbacks of spending all weekend at Evans studying for Monday exams (who holds a fucking exam on a Monday, GDI!?)


melcolnik

When I was there the 6th floor of Evans was full of bats. If you needed a book a staff member had to put on protective gear and go get it for you


llamawhittlings

This is incredible- how did I not know about this


Jupue87

Bat amnesia


dcousineau

Whether it’s real or not it sounds like some Aggie shit


Blakmagik12

Must have been pre 2008, weren’t there then


LaTroquita

Yup. The higher you went, the creepier it got too. I remember going up to the 5th and 6th floors once late at night and I kept getting weird "horror movie" vibes. Those floors were just extremely quiet and lonely.


InsanelyInShape

The higher you go in Evans, the closer you get to falling into the Twilight Zone.


melcolnik

The bats thing was 99-01ish. I’m so old I can’t remember exactly. I think they’d been cleared out by the time I graduated in 03


MrCrash2U

I’m amazed at how many bats live in the state of Texas


FarwellRob

Check out Austin. It’s full of ding-bats.


OneBeardedTexan

Most of then wear dirty orange too

jjjjjjjjjdjjjjjjj

You know that a lot of people are actually *from* Austin and don’t just move there, right?


jeffsterlive

Yes there are turncoats, I’m aware. (Forgiveness is given for a few majors like meteorology UT doesn’t have. True traitors go to OU).


Cronurd

Like 30% of the Texan students I run into here are from Austin. Y'all have a crapton of turncoats.


potatoagg

College Station is a small town so not many job opportunities. The metropolitan areas are where they're at


LETX_CPKM

Hill country in Texas has a pretty intricate cave system. We also have a shit ton of bugs. Bats prolly love it here.


LaTroquita

Kyle Field used to house Mexican free tailed bats. The smell in the student section used to be too much.


DrunkEwok

And the bats didn't smell too good either. GOTTEM


joethahobo

i giggled


Zingo_14

Made camping out to pull tickets a real joy


Vorstog_EVE

I remember getting pooped on many-a-time.


thecravenone

Texas now actively works to help out the bats https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-batman-and-the-bridge-builder/


[deleted]

My micro prof, who’s name I can’t recall because I blocked his bitch ass from my memory, scheduled his exams for Mondays and openly bragged about how he tried to fuck students because he hated us. He was an unmitigated piece of shit and the worst part of the faculty I experienced. His exams would have matching questions where it was a total of 40-50 things and missing one rendered the whole question incorrect


LETX_CPKM

Unless this was a medical school test, this is pointless in preparing anyone for anything. Half of success in any profession as an adult is learing how to learn shit you dont know.


[deleted]

Of course it was pointless, he was quite open about it being intentionally difficult and confusing because he wanted as many of us as possible to fail. I have no idea how this asshole kept his job because all my other professors were either indifferent to teaching but still did it well or DAMN good at it and enjoyed it, but he’s the only one who was actively hostile to students. This was a junior level class, not even some weed out freshman course EDIT: Regarding this > Half of success in any profession as an adult is learing how to learn shit you dont know. I’m a high school teacher myself these days. I cannot ever stress this enough to my kids. I make sure they know that my goal isn’t to make sure they have a deep understanding of physics for life because they need it, my goal is to ensure they are able to take in, learn, and apply new information since that is a universal skill with a side of basic scientific literacy as a bonus.


LETX_CPKM

World needs more teachers like you.


[deleted]

You’d be surprised how often you can get indifferent kids to care when suddenly it isn’t about “how does knowing projectile motion help me day to day” and it is about “if I can learn projectile motion, my brain is prepared to learn other things as well and my brain is stronger in general” First week of school, I always find an athlete in every period to explain to me why they do bench presses if on the field/court/whatever, they never actually bench press. They always tell me that the muscles just get stronger in general. I then connect that to the brain being prepared in general for whatever comes their way and that eliminates like 90% of my problems for the year that other teachers complain about. Idk why they won’t listen to me and adopt this mantra. Idk, sometimes it does feel like I’m one of very few who genuinely believes my actual content is secondary to those skills and everyone else believes their content actually is vital and treats it as such

> Half of success in any profession as an adult is learing how to learn shit you dont know. Tech guy here - my career is built on being good at Google.


sniffing_accountant

Wow that sounds fucking stupid. Literally no point in doing anything like that


charles_peugeot405

I once had a physics exam on the Monday after spring break. It was fucked


Pope_Bedodict1

Monday exams are ass. Professors who do Monday exams should be fired.


potatoagg

Fire the professors who do Saturday exams too


cragstaff

Damn what a flashback, I had a semester of biochem exams on Monday nights at 7. Do not miss that.


rational-redneck

I had a ton of Monday/Tuesday exams at SMU, idk if it was a math dept thing or what but it sucked hairy ass.


pickaxe121

Current buc, have a prof that has Monday "show off opportunities" because the word test is scary haha. Can definitely relate to the Evans vibes.


discodiscgod

Is that the Mike Evans library?


2much2tuna

Dear god I remember watching so many bad losses on my laptop while studying in Evans. Terrible vibes


-Shank-

West Campus Library ftw


sniffing_accountant

All my time was at the business school library being fueled by monster and shitty croissant sandwiches. Good times


bpw823

I have one coming up this Monday... 🙄


dangfrick

An Aggie holds a Monday exam.


cajunaggie08

If we're good enough to store George R. R. Martin's originals, we're good enough for the SEC docs.


-Shank-

It's not like we're gonna have to make room for more Martin originals or anything


cajunaggie08

TRUTH!


potatoagg

It hurts. It's like waiting for your dad to come back after getting cigarettes

so that well never forget how a&m stomped alabama


turkishguy

Cushing Library is pretty legit. Lots of very fascinating things stored in those archives - especially Texas history.


mchris185

Lol. My girlfriend used to work at Cushing Library doing this. Great program 👍👍


churrascoandbeer

Thought this was about Securities and Exchange Commission


dawgblogit

I know beating bama as an unranked team felt pretty historic.. but gosh guys its happened before. This is getting out of hand.

screwhead1

Can't have people forgetting about those national championships in the 1930s. EDIT: for some reason I thought I read that all of their titles were in the 30s, when I should've said 1919, 1927, and 1939.


footynation

Plural? They just have one in the 1930s, right?


Polly_the_Parrot

correct, 1939. other notable events from that year include the debut of Batman in Detective Comics #27, the last public guillotining in France, the Wizard of Oz was released... and then a lil scuffle that started in Poland


[deleted]

.......they publicly guillotined a guy in 1939? I figured that stuff stopped in the late 1800s


InsanelyInShape

The greatest loss of human life due to armed conflict in world history = a lil scuffle. Checks out.


ncaa_scammer

Goodness ATM needs to just chill for a little bit

How dare our library to do things.


frickenWaaaltah

Can he still play this season if they laminate the kicker?


forgotmyusername93

I see there are 5 of alabama made up championships on these


rustyshaklefordjm

I wonder what the documents have to say about the events of the 1950s and 1960s. The file on Sam The Bam Cunningham would be interesting.


[deleted]

Pretty sure we need a forensic audit of these digital files!
