I grew up at Texas A&M, so I love A&M football. (Obviously, I love PSU football too, and PSU has wrestling, so the nod goes to PSU as far as where my greatest loyalty lies. I did graduate and wrestle here.)

No donor base has spent more money per win than the Aggies. If we take donations versus wins over the last five years, they lead the nation at 10 million dollars per win.

No government has spent more money on their weather models than the U.S. Like the Aggies, the result is extremely disappointing.

I was looking at the site:
