College Football’s Top 50 Fanbases

12. Texas A&M

The good

The 12th Man, the corps of cadets and the century tree serve as constant reminders of Texas A&M’s rich tradition. The Aggies hold yell practice at midnight before games and the students stand from start to finish of each contest. Want passion? It lives in Aggieland.

The bad

Texas A&M hasn’t actually done much with that passion. A pre-WWII national championship and two Heisman Trophies serve as a solid foundation, but Texas A&M isn’t going to leap into the realm of perennial contender without proving they can do it in the College Football Playoff era.

The bottom line

The next decade in College Station will go a long way toward establishing Texas A&M’s place in the pantheon of college football. They’ve spent all the money they can spend, hired the best coaches they can hire and recruited at a level like never before. Now it’s time to put everything together on the field.

The fans will always be there, waving their towels and yelling like crazy. They just hope they’ll have something exciting to yell about in the near future.
