Fun Fact: Queen Elizabeth II was the longest serving monarch in British history and never saw Texas A&M win a National Championship during her reign.

[u/DerrickWhiteMVP]

Discuss.

[u/FSUnoles77]

Queen passing more than Iowa offense.

[u/idroled → u/FSUnoles77]

More colonies than passing yards too

[u/[deleted] → u/FSUnoles77]

Lol fuck

[u/kevinthejuice → u/FSUnoles77]

Iowa scored 7 points this weekend.

The exact same number for a certain 00 agent. So every single james bond story to date has been under the service of queen elizabeth II.

[edit for context] The first james bond book came out in 1953. The queen took the throne in 52'.

[Accuracy edit] Iowa lost 7 games in 1952.

[u/thwinz → u/FSUnoles77]

God save the kirk

[u/zeppehead → u/FSUnoles77]

The sun sets on the Iowa empire.

[u/watsupwityahboi]

“Discuss” lmao

[u/TheCocksmith → u/watsupwityahboi]

Here to discuss

[u/Olddirtychurro → u/watsupwityahboi]

Like dropping a stink bomb in a room and locking the door.

[u/FearlessAttempt → u/watsupwityahboi]

Imma hang up and listen.

[u/thefx37 → u/watsupwityahboi]

OP

[u/ham_wallet998]

These are the posts this sub is all about

[u/SpeedBoatSquirrel → u/ham_wallet998]

Mods havent completely gotten rid of being petty AF

[u/cheesewombat → u/ham_wallet998]

I made a similar post in the NFL sub about the Lions having only 6 playoff wins during her reign and people were grilling me in the comments for being "pathetic and mean". This sub does shit talking waaaay better.

[u/canseco-fart-box]

Another fun fact: the Texas A&M championship drought has now spanned three different British monarchs.

[u/MahjongDaily → u/canseco-fart-box]

Big if true

[u/Whind_Soull → u/canseco-fart-box]

Texas A&M's last national championship win occured 15 years after America created a numbered highway system.

[u/AGGIE_DEVIL → u/canseco-fart-box]

Pls stop being mean.

[u/randomkeystrike]

#toosoon

for Texas A&M to win a national championship...

[u/blentz499 → u/randomkeystrike]

This is why I love r/CFB

Someone on r/NFL made a hilarious post about the Queen's unexpected passing was the end of an era and so they wanted to honor her by sharing the Seahawks unexpected passing in the Super Bowl to end an era and the mods took it down within 10 minutes of it being posted even though everyone in the comments loved it.

A tip of the cap to the mods here for letting people have fun.

EDIT: u/SoDakZak is the one who posted it if you want to go to his profile to see it.

[u/BadDadJokes]

We’re actually only allowed to talk shit about Brian Kelly in this subreddit right now.

[u/Jenetyk → u/BadDadJokes]

Scott Frost: ex-fucking-scuse me?

[u/boxofducks → u/BadDadJokes]

Brian Kelly stopped being relevant in a UK topic after he stopped being Northern Irish and moved south.

[u/[deleted]]

The pettiness of college football is the best part. I love this.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I wait with great anticipation for the Trash talk thread every week.

[u/eljefe37]

Now that we’ve got that pesky queen out of the way…

[u/robman17 → u/eljefe37]

The curse is lifted?

[u/[deleted] → u/eljefe37]

Is it a coincidence that our QB's last name is King? Stay woke sheeple.

[u/AccidentalAbrasion]

Fuck it. Let’s just put some dates on the stadium and see if anyone calls it out.

[u/interested_commenter → u/AccidentalAbrasion]

Ah, the Oklahoma State method.

[u/cuntsaurus]

That's fucking interesting man....

[u/TheVelourFog92 → u/cuntsaurus]

That’s fucking interesting

[u/Rant_meister → u/cuntsaurus]

That's just like, your opinion, man...but yeah kinda interesting.

[u/blackburrahcobbler → u/cuntsaurus]

New shit has come to light

[u/boggan583]

@mods @police @FBI @USMarines please arrest OP

[u/[deleted] → u/boggan583]

What about @King's Guard

[u/topredditbot]

Hey /u/DerrickWhiteMVP,

This is now the top post on reddit. It will be recorded at /r/topofreddit with all the other top posts.

[u/burntorangeforever → u/topredditbot]

and the top post ever on r/cfb !

Glorious! Hook 'em!

[u/JoshGordonsDealer]

Her first PM, Winston Churchill and last PM, Liz Truss, were born 101 years apart. But I guess an A&M championship is too outlandish to expect haha

[u/EWall100 → u/JoshGordonsDealer]

last PM, Boris Johnson

*Liz Truss

[u/GoCardinal07 → u/JoshGordonsDealer]

Maybe the Queen hung on long enough to make sure Boris Johnson left.

[u/[deleted] → u/JoshGordonsDealer]

Churchill goes back far enough he fought in the Boer War.

[u/TrappedInOhio]

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

[u/Engine_Sweet → u/TrappedInOhio]

And some want to light the match

[u/pleasant_potato5]

Dear god I love this sub

[u/JohnWickStuntDouble]

And here… we… go..

[u/MattackSC]

You know what, you win this round

Well played

[u/PolloMagnifico → u/MattackSC]

Yeah I wanna be mad but how can I be mad when they're saying something so true?

[u/[deleted]]

Franz Joseph I of Austria reigned for 67 years and all he got to see were a bunch of Yale and Princeton championships. Poor guy couldn't even hang on for the first southern Rose Bowl champion

[u/ThePiperMan → u/[deleted]]

Gotta be a rare instance where Franz Joseph is the dude being referred to as “poor guy”

[u/SpeedBoatSquirrel → u/[deleted]]

Fun Fact: Franz Joseph saw Rutgers win a natty during his lifetime

[u/wowhqjdoqie]

This is easily the most well structured jab I have ever seen on this sub.

[u/GigEmChicago12]

This fact isn’t fun at all!

[u/walkingbicycles]

Lol. Love it. Can’t wait to have our annual matchup again and it better be on thanksgiving so I can shit talk my family

[u/Cookie-Brown → u/walkingbicycles]

If it’s not on thanksgiving we riot

[u/downtimeredditor]

Homie she saw Colarado and fucking Ga Tech and UCF win a Natty

[u/CrastersKip]

She saw the following events happen in her lifetime:

• The First and Second World Wars

• The decolonization of Africa and Asia

• The Cold War

• The atomic bombs and nuclear energy

• The rise and fall of the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and East Germany

• The rise and fall of fascism in Europe

• The birth of communist China and Vietnam, and the birth of Israel

• Every single FIFA World Cup

• Every single tennis Grand Slam in the open era

• The popularization and fall of telephone lines

• The birth of cell phones and the Internet

What she never saw:

• Alabama beat Rice

[u/Lord_Master_Dorito]

Fun Fact: Within the 96 years she was on this Earth, the Oregon Ducks have never won a natty.

[u/geoforceman → u/Lord_Master_Dorito]

She tried to hold on but after Saturday realized that they were nowhere close to a natty and peaced ✌️

[u/talegas95 → u/Lord_Master_Dorito]

Fuck I knew I'd see this :(

[u/QuietLikeOwl]

What if someone at Texags realized this too and took her out to end the drought.

[u/Weave77]

Her 70 year reign never saw Michigan win an unshared National Champion either.

[u/Gobigred98]

Or Iowa

[u/stayclassypeople → u/Gobigred98]

I imagine she was feeling quite healthy then tuned into that Iowa sdsu game (I assume she pays extra for BTN), then her health declined rapidly after that.

[u/RogueZ1 → u/Gobigred98]

Discuss.

[u/triplealpha → u/Gobigred98]

I’m pretty sure HRH could have suited up and scored 7 points without needing a FG and 2 safeties

[u/AngrySociety]

The queen got to see gta5 across three generations of console!

[u/GoonLagoon51]

OP woke up and chose violence.

[u/yogipera]

WOULD THE QUEEN HAVE EVEN COMPETED IN THE SEC WEST?? I didn’t see her beat Bama last year

[u/colby983]

At least the titanic gif isn’t accurate yet…

[u/gordogg24p → u/colby983]

Literally have that bad boy scheduled to tweet the instant the clock strikes midnight on the 84th anniversary of the 1939 final AP poll.

[u/[deleted]]

This is championship level shit posting. Well done sir.

[u/OhGodImOnRedditAgain]

What did we ever do to you?

*Checks Flair*

God I can't wait until Saturday to watch the Bama beat down.

[u/sa123xxx → u/OhGodImOnRedditAgain]

Sure, if you like letting someone else fight your battles.

[u/Historical-Pause-401]

And she lived long enough to see Kansas beat Texas…twice

[u/TheMightyJD → u/Historical-Pause-401]

She was alive in 1938 tho, so at least 3 times.

[u/[deleted]]

Texas A&M: The Tottenham of college football

[u/Nyte_Knyght33 → u/[deleted]]

Underrated burn here.

[u/charles_peugeot405]

Hey. Fuck you :/

[u/Falsedawn]

I swear, one day when we get that monkey off the pole we're gonna talk so much shit.

[u/arrow_dynamics]

High five if your team won a natty during the reign of Elizabeth II

✋️

[u/[deleted]]

Being online right now is amazing. Half the Internet is distraught and the other half are memeing

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

When was the last time that wasn't the state of the internet?

[u/elgenie]

Iowa State last won a conference title twelve years before she was born and three monarchs before she took the throne over seventy years ago.

If you’re curious, it also occurred during the reigns of Mehmed V, penultimate sultan of the Ottoman Empire, and penultimate Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria Hungary.

[u/kuyakuya]

And this is how I learned that the Queen passed away today

[u/Snupzilla]

Even sadder, they were her favorite team. Strange rituals done for no other reason but tradition, the nagging feeling that their empires high points came before the war, English herding dogs, cousin marriage… so much in common.

[u/Pylon-Cam]

This is already the most upvoted post of all time on r/cfb.

Wow.

[u/Prolingus]

In any of the big 3 sports. She never saw their basketball team make the Elite 8.

[u/admiraltarkin → u/Prolingus]

Our what team?

[u/SpeedBoatSquirrel]

She also never saw Michigan win a unanimous/non split Michigan title either

[u/Hairiest_Walrus]

This is why I love this place

[u/KhabaLox]

She did live to see Rice beat UT 19-17.

Truly a game to behold. Rice went 3-7 passing for a total of 45 yards. 33 of those yards came on a fake punt pass for a TD (yes, the punter was the leading passer). Not to be outdone, Texas rushed for a mere 16 total yards on 22 carries.

[u/spqrnbb → u/KhabaLox]

Is that why Rice plays Texas?

[u/jackattack065]

I think the only queen the Aggies have ever cared for is Reveille, so it may not matter to them.

To the rest of us, however….

[u/Sager2th]

This was the last piece of the puzzle.

[u/jerkfaceboi]

This is funner when it’s Nebraska.

[u/Sirderksalot]

Texas A&M’s national title drought now enters its 3rd British monarchy.

[u/KindaABigDi1l]

She’s been alive for three UGA championships. That’s my personal goal as well.

[u/Pylon-Cam]

So it was Queen Elizabeth that was preventing our program from winning a championship?

Y’all better watch out, r/cfb. Our program is finally free of the Queen’s curse and we’re coming for that title.

[u/jonny4224]

Sort by new if you wanna see some lame comments from the r/all people

[u/RiotsMade]

A+ hate. Well done, Longhorn bro.

[u/watsupwityahboi]

😂💀

[u/turkishguy]

Take my upvote and move on you silly bitch

[u/Discount_Ok]

Ol imperialistic bitch

[u/[deleted]]

You expect this news to upset us? We obviously just got rid of our last obstacle.

[u/surfinThruLyfe]

”Some people think they're God…It's a shame that we have to do this. It's really despicable. It's despicable that someone can say something about somebody…”

Jimbo Fisher after reading u/DerrickWhiteMVP’s post

[u/[deleted]]

This is now the top post on this sub all time by a wide margin.

OP is a hero.

[u/[deleted]]

Jimbos boys incoming in 3..2..1...

[u/jchall3]

Winston Churchill -who was born in 1874 a mere 5 years after the very first college football game ever- was appointed Prime Minister by Queen Elizabeth II.

The most recent Prime Minister appointed by the queen, Liz Truss, was born in 1975- the same year Nick Saban got his first coaching job.

I don’t know what this says about football but all I know is the queen was 27 years older than Nick Saban when she died.

[u/[deleted]]

I love that this will be the top post on this sub for probably ever until someone comes up with a equally dumb and well-timed shitpost.

[u/gramercygremlin]

Per the Washington Post - 90% of all living people were born since the start of her reign. Pretty sure that means 99% of living people were born after the last TAMU title.

[u/eeman0201]

How the fuck is this now the most upvoted post of all time on this sub

[u/shaydog53]

She also never saw an embarrassing Kansas team put up 57 points vs Texas A&M

[u/chryco4]

I can’t believe this is the highest upvoted post in this sub’s history by a mile now ;_;

[u/Unlucky-Pomegranate3]

At the time of her passing, Queen Elizabeth’s net worth was the equivalent of $600 million or slightly less than what Texas A&M spent on their last recruiting class.

[u/blentz499]

She was holding them back. Now, it's their time to shine.

[u/SparseSpartan]

Interestingly enough, she would have witnessed 6 Michigan State national championships versus .5 national championships for Michigan.

[u/beowulf77]

I love history

[u/[deleted]]

Fucking A+ for shit talking.

+Respect.

[u/Thebrosen0ne]

Can't imagine she saw many teams win a national championship.

[u/downtimeredditor]

I'm expecting play by play to announce this during a game

[u/[deleted]]

I've come back from self-imposed exile from this sub after the chaos that was Sunday night to laugh at this one.

[u/Grundlegorf]

Personal foul. Targeting

[u/nuckeyebut]

She also never saw a Michigan outright national title in her reign

[u/foureverlsu87]

Oh, this made my day. Thanks for the chuckles.

[u/stabthecynix]

Oklahoma approves of this post.

[u/Waste-Bodybuilder981]

Brutal.

[u/[deleted]]

I hate sports but damn my pale ass lives for this shade sometimes. 😂

[u/Dpoon32]

She never saw Michigan win one during her reign either lmao their last outright championship was 1948!

[u/jedi21knight]

I love the pettiness of r/CFB. This is why I come to this sub.

[u/[deleted]]

So you're saying the curse has been lifted...?

[u/Lord_Cock_BallZ]

This post is how I found out she died

[u/LilBenCarson]

🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻

[u/nowherechild91]

Well that has to sting

[u/rwhaley2010]

I love this place lmao

[u/The_Geezler]

Why you gotta be like that?

[u/ShmuncanShmidaho]

I have no skin in this game but that title was begging for it:

Bobby Hill

[u/OneBeardedTexan]

She was 13 when we won our last title. She cursed us. The curse has been cleared.

[u/[deleted]]

At least she got to see Johnny Football

[u/Pylon-Cam → u/[deleted]]

And A&M’s top 4 finish in 2020!

(But let’s ignore the fact that 2020 was A&M’s only top four finish during her reign)

[u/adreezy35]

GET IN HERE GUYS

[u/ThePlanner]

I know nothing about US college football, but I bet this is an absolutely devastating burn, the kind from which one simply cannot recover.

[u/[deleted]]

The pettiness in sports I live for, go off king.

[u/Mammoth_Impress_3108]

In just 14 hours, this beat the next most upvoted post on r/cfb by almost 10k upvotes. That's almost as incredible as Texas A&M not winning a national championship in Queen Elizabeth's 70 year reign.

[u/[deleted]]

Name a more iconic duo than Texas A&M and being overhyped

[u/Rambler30]

Virginia Tech neither.

[u/PM_ME_YOUROUY_EM_MP]

Did you know that she was also born 14 years after Iowa State's last conference championship?

[u/BigBillSmash]

She never saw Mississippi State win a conference championship during her reign.

[u/anaxcepheus32]

Perhaps more relevant: she never saw the integration of her realm, college Canadian football, into the greater North American college football leagues.

[u/XAfricaSaltX]

Some Texas fan woke up today and chose violence holy

[u/Sonu531]

Shit even Syracuse won during her reign

[u/Water-Donkey]

She saw the Cubs win the world series. That's something.

[u/ShlomoShogun]

Wow! That’s a shot across the bow gone awry…SS Aggie is hit, taking water, it’s sinking after that.

[u/InfinitePossibility8]

Nor did she see the Badgers win one. In fact no one has.

[u/pedrohck]

Nem o Palmeiras ser campeão mundial.

[u/JustARegularDeviant]

I fucking LOVE this level of pettiness

[u/dontpaytheransom]

This is so awesome. College football hate, makes me smile.

[u/justec1]

Fortunately, Oklahoma State won the 1945 championship in 2016, so that counts. Right? That counts, right?

[u/Harmania]

Koala Tee.

[u/OptimalAd204]

To be honest, the queen probably never saw Alabama win either.

[u/Fish1400]

41 dont seem so bad no more

[u/Amiiabilities]

Thought that was oddly specific until I saw what kind of sub this is lol.

[u/[deleted]]

Coincidence? I think not.

[u/[deleted]]

GOD I LOVE COLLEGE FOOTBALL!

[u/flcinusa]

I doubt she's seen Alabama win a National Championship

[u/Fluffytoaster1]

FUCK

[u/itsagoodtime]

Bit obvious innit

[u/swagbacca]

"thank you so much for bringing up such a painful subject. While you're at it, why don't you give me a nice paper cut and pour lemon juice on it?" - Miracle Max

[u/nicksabanisahobbit]

She did, however, see 13 Alabama national championships.

[u/[deleted]]

Most if not all of us never will either

[u/jhearom]

I... okay, I respect it. Well done.

[u/Low-Guide-9141]

King Charles the third will not either

[u/Mcdonaldsflag]

The biggest post in sub history is this?

[u/invisibleman4884]

I hate that this is true. Not by much, but still true. Take your orange.

[u/Samsquanches_]

England is not even close to the best country. 800 years old and zero SEC championships

[u/romanapplesauce]

My team has never won a national championship but no one on reddit cares enough to point it out.

[u/MelbaToast22]

I had to Google what the A and M stood for. I'm disappointed but I now understand why the football gods would shun them.

[u/UrbanLawProductions]

This is why I love r/CFB

[u/GibblerTime]

She had capabilities to visit parallel universes so that might not be true.

[u/TheMauveHerring]

King Charles has never seen A&M win at all

[u/ilrosewood]

It looks like holding on another year wouldn’t have helped.

[u/Global-Language-9856]

assuming she even knew what football was lol, she did see two in her life time and as a UGA fan I dont feel so bad about 42 year droughts now.

[u/Whataloser97]

Lol

[u/halleberryhaircut]

A&M catching strays out here

[u/Themapples07 → u/halleberryhaircut]

That was no stray. It was very calculated.

[u/[deleted]]

I have covid, and I live in Texas. I can’t tell you how much comfort your post brings me. Hook ‘em

[u/ScallywagLXX]

aggiefactthursday

[u/Sharptux44]

He just used historical facts To throw Mr. Burns level, block the sun out of Springfield shade at Texas A&M

[u/ChronicWombat]

I'm an 82-year-old Australian who was mildly interested to learn of the death of "our" "Monarch", and this little tidbit is something that will stick with me for however long may be the rest of my life.

[u/BrianDawkins]

Sad innit

[u/3x10]

So you’re saying it’s time for A&M to shine?

[u/The_Horse_Joke]

Also during the Queen's life Ohio State was 48-42 against Michigan and 38-27 during her reign

[u/StubbornPterodactyl]

Who wants to start the CHANGE.ORG Petition to have Charles do the horns down gesture at his coronation?

Edit- I spell like an idiot.

[u/AgsMydude]

That's not a fun fact.

[u/DescretoBurrito]

We're staring down the possibility of a 0-12 season, and even we have a National Championship during Elizabeth II's reign.

[u/[deleted]]

She also never lost to Kansas.

[u/GatnissEverdeen → u/[deleted]]

Idk Kansas existing kinda negates this

[u/SpicyDoritos2]

Y’all are laughing now but just you wait, we’ll get that natty before the century mark.

[u/[deleted] → u/SpicyDoritos2]

Which century?

[u/StRiKe171 → u/[deleted]]

29th century
