Would you rather

The Aggies go 16-0 and win the National Championship this season and then go 7-5 for the next 10 years

OR

The Aggies win 10+ Wins for the next 10 years but never win the Title.

Would you rather bang one 10, or 10 ones?

for me its really hard, taking the natty would mean suffering thru a decade of terrible football, I am leaning towards a decade of 10+ wins a season, its close though

NC...

I don't care if we go 4-8 for the next 10 years (obviously I do care but I'd make that trade) if we win a natty this year

You play to win the game.

10000% you take the title.

The question wasn't would you rather bang a 7.

At this rate an NC is a once in a generation event. No brainer.
Life's an endless party, not a punch card.

Ask any lifelong Texas Ranger fan.

You take the Chip anytime you can get it. Suffering through seasons is inevitable at some point. The championship makes it worth it.

If the Aggies go 16-0 and win the NC then I will be free to never watch Aggie football again...I will live for evermore in a constant state of "we won the NC"

The last time national championship rings were given out to Aggie football players was in October of 1998.

It was a reunion of John Kimbrough and the surviving members of the 1939 championship team.

And then we went on to beat the #2 Huskers.




It would be nice to see something like that again in my lifetime, but in a more timely fashion.

I've seen enough 10 win seasons without a championship.

If we win a national title, even just once, I couldn't care less if we go 0-12 the rest of my life

You wish. At this rate it's more like once every 4 generations.

Here's how this goes down. Follow closely and please bookmark.

Aggies go 16-0, winning the Natty.

This causes hell to literally freeze over, sparking the Apocalypse and Armageddon.

The New Heaven and New Earth come down and the world as we know it ends.

Aggies are reigning national champions forever more.




Book it.

Honestly both scenarios sound pretty good to me. 2 or 3 years ago I was worried Texas 8&4 would soon be the good old days.

you are describing essentially what the CU football program has become, there is no way I would trade a natty for that

We've had decades of occasionally terrible football and painstakingly average football (7-5 being pretty close to average) so why not take the NC along with it?

for me the rational would be that would be a decade of 10+ wins with lots of wins over texas and lsu and generally really great falls to remember

I survived the Franchione years. A decade of f mediocrity is nothing for a title.

Hell, ask Penn St how they feel about ten wins and no title.

Ahh ok. That sort of era (early 90s) is where my BAS was codified, thinking we were good because we won a lot of games but then getting our heads kicked in during bowl games or other marquee matchups. Nah, I'll pass on "pretty good" for a swing at greatness.

Go ask Auburn that question and I'd bet they'd disagree.

They're averaging 7.2 wins a year since 2010 and will be on their 6th coach. And none of us or the rest of the SEC care that they won it all in 2010. They're irrelevant to any kid younger than college.

I'd take a perennial top 10 team over 1 and irrelevant without a doubt. The point is entertainment and there's nothing entertaining about being irrelevant.

I mean....Texas 10&2 does sound way better than Texas 8&4....

That wasn't the question.

It was 1 ten and 9 fives

Hey now, nobody said you can't win the Natty in year 11

This still fits the OP's criteria:
- 10 years, all 10 win seasons....
- then a Natty....
- then another 10 years, all 10 win seasons....
- then another Natty....

Rinse and repeat....

Yes please!

Looking through the lens of the general public, it doesn't matter if you're 10-2 or 7-5 if you don't win anything of substance you suck no matter what. So give me the title.

Yeah, my analogy was a little off. I think it would be more like:
One 10 & nine 5s or ten 7&8s. In which case there is more of argument for ten 7&8s over one 10 & nine 5s.

Natty - 10/10 season
Conference Championship - 9/10 season
10 wins but no titles/championships - 7 or 8/10 season
