Huge win, but Texas A&M has way too much history for it to be the biggest win in school history.

They have never beaten a top 10 team according to the reports that have been given and since Bama was the #1 ranked team (played them at Bama) then yes this is the biggest win in Aggie history. No one can name a bigger one.

That's it! JJ loses to a team that beats the #1 team on their field? He has to go now!

Again, it is not that he lost it is how he lost. I guess on your sarcasm you forgot the Tulane loss. JJ is going to destroy a very very bad USM but has not beaten many good teams.

I would say a redshirt freshman QB beats the number one team while June Jones is in the 5th year of trying to teach a QB his offense.

Define "not many". If that means five or more, then yes. You are correct.

Look, in agree he needs to go, I just disagree with the venomous way a lot of people express the same thought.

They've won 3 national championships so it might be the best team they've ever beaten, but certainly not their biggest win ever.

If it is the best team they have beaten normally that would make it the biggest win in school history. That is what many are saying. That win also legitimizes them in the tough SEC.

I just think that winning a national championship is a bigger deal than beating the number 1 ranked team, maybe I am in the minority.

If those championships were back on the 50's or so then they by poll (no BCS championship game) and may not have played an highly ranked teams all year. Sumlin has done a very good job in his first year.

You missed my point. In a BCS championship game you play have the number 1 and 2 teams playing for the national championship but back then they might have never played a top ten team all year and son it by polls only. If that is the case this is a bigger win.
