...until they aren't.

The A&M administration is maniacal in its focus on becoming a top-tier football team and they're willing to invest vast sums of money to get there. They have the relentless optimism of an early 20th century wildcatter drilling well after well, knowing that he only has to hit once.

I may not like their program or the way they're going about reaching their goal, but I respect the single-minded drive for greatness. Sooner or later, it will pay off.
