Other Sad Teams

I agree that having top talent at AD and having a President and Chancellor that understand things is probably most important.

  I don't agree that Alabama has remained on top for the past 50 years.   From the time Bear Bryant retired in 1981 until Sabin was hired in 2006 Alabama was pretty average most of the time and downright bad some of the time. They had about 4 good years under Gene Stallings but nothing else that was that great or sustained.  Alabama wondered in the wilderness for about 25 years waiting for a coach.  

It helps if the Chancellor can long snap as well

Even the Gators under Ron Zook, Will Muschamp, and Jim McElwain were very mediocre at times.

Muschamp only knows one side of the ball Zook couldn't cut it at Illinois either, McElwain is a good coordinator.

They've been solid for a while though.....but never great.  Have they ever made a BCS bowl?

Edit: Looked it up, only looked back 30 or 40 years, but not 1 BCS bowl....they did go undefeated in 94' with 1 tie, but didnt go to a bowl.  Not sure how that happens? 

A&M got hit with 5 years probation by the NCAA at the beginning of 1994 - which meant they were barred from appearing on television or playing in a bowl during the 1994 season.
