[edit] rank

what is the aggies' rank?-Sucrine ( ><> talk) 08:36, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Um preseason polls aren't out yet. My bad, I guess they are. Go ahead and put them in BQZip01 06:21, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

They are #21.[1]--Blueag9\^talk 22:33, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

In the section "2006 Schedule and results" there are ranks of some schools but not A&M, as it is an article about A&M i think it should appear somewhere... -Sucrine ( ><> talk) 22:44, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Questions

I put two questions relevant to this article at the bottom of Talk:Texas A&M Aggies. Johntex\^talk 04:46, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] First play-by-play

I found this article that says an A&M game in 1921 was the first to ever have a radio play-by-play. This ought to be incorporated into this article or the main Texas A&M Aggies article somewhere -- it's interesting. http://www.wtaw.com/history.php Karanacs 14:39, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2006 season results

Is it wise to delete this section or keep it in the article once the 2007 season starts? BlueAg09 (Talk) 21:29, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

I say keep until 07 (maybe even a little into it). It provides a reference for the previous season and gives the most recent outcome. — BQZip01 — ^talk 15:46, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] National Championships

Besides the color variation in the chart there is no mention(that I saw) of A&M wining the Championship, or anything mentioning how it was retroactively awarded in the 10's. Shouldn't there be some mention of this? Robhakari (talk) 06:30, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, that's because it wasn't retroactively awarded for 1917 and 1919 (two years in which A&M not only went undefeated and untied, but no team scored on them). in the 1920s-1930s was when the term "national champion" was first really used. If you have a source that states otherwise, please add it and BE BOLD!!!— BQZip01 — ^talk 06:37, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

A&M was retroactively awarded a 1919 national title by several selectors and there is some support of A&M as 1917 national champions. One of the original drafts of this page had all titles listed, but those two titles were later removed because A&M does not claim the 1917 or 1919 titles. I think it would be a good addition to the page to add that some selectors consider the teams national champions, but it would be important to clarify that A&M does not claim the titles (unlike programs like USC, which claims as a title anything that would remotely qualify.) -Texink^[talk] 18:05, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
