Who was an undergrad these four years ('91, '92, '93, '94)?

Awesome four years of Aggie football. How many home losses those four seasons?

Old Main, Emory Bellard was not fired. In 1978 the Aggies had started 4-0. Then back to back blowout losses to Houston and Baylor had the rumor mill running wild. The grumbling was loud.
Bellard went into a meeting with the A&M president. It didn't go well, so Emory resigned on the spot. Tom Wilson was named Interim HC, scrapped the wishbone and subsequently was given the job.

we'd taken two straight drubbings to BU and Cougar High, there were rumblings, and he pre-empted it all by quitting.

How about none? I had the pleasure of being there from '92-'95 seasons, where the only home loss came at the very end of the '95 season.

Where did you guys who were in school in the early 1970s go to drown your football sorrows? I don't think the Dixie Chicken opened until the late 1970s.

Thank goodness we did not have the internet in 82,83,84. Who knows what the village idiots would have been saying then. Remember how much JWS was making?
Tom Wilson goes 7-5. We fire him and go pay one of the highest salaries in the country for an ethically challenged coach from the northeast. He does not have a winning season until three years later and even then he had five losses.
This place would have gone nuts.
If any person says there were no grumblings in 1983 and 1984 about JWS....

So 5-7 is the best we can realistically expect for this season and 2-10 is the absolute worst? Is this the range we are stuck in this season?

Hurricane Ike tore up Galveston and now Hurricane Mike is tearing Aggie football a new one to the tune of a 3-9 season record.

Emory Bellard was a great coach. One our best. He got us on track after years of being in the dumps. He was credited with developing the "Wishbone" Offense while still at tu. We had a great coach then and messed up a good thing.

I heard a lot of grumbling about Jackie Sherrill back in the day. About how much $ he made. How he was not an "X's and O's" coach, and that it would all spell disaster.
Who says cheaters never prosper?

Tom Wilson only had 3 plays. Dive up the middle, Mike Mosely to the sideline and punt.

I can think of 15 guys who made NFL rosters off Bellard's 75-76 team. And what a DEFENSE: Lester Hayes, Pat Thomas, Ed Simonini, Robert Jackson, Garth ten Napel. They were STACKED!
