I've never understood the "Aggies are stupid" jokes. They never made sense, we went from being essentially a military academy to a world class academic institution. We're one of the few land, air and sea grant universities in the country. Only two schools, public or private, in the nation have had more research published since 1970 and they are named Harvard and Yale. A&M grads have the fourth highest starting salary among public university graduates in the country. A&M puts more undergrad students in medical and law school every year than any school in the state, and the second most in business school behind Texas.
Someone from Baylor like Aikbach running academic smack to A&M grads (or Texas grads, for that matter) is laughable. A&M is ranked higher in every tangible research and undergrad academic category, and Baylor's sole claim to fame, their medical school, isnt even affiliated with them anymore.
