RC Slocum will be inducted into the Texas Sports Hall of Fame tonight in Waco. Although I have cursed him many times, and his career at A&M ended on a sour note with a dismissal after a 6-6 season, I have much appreciation for what he did for Texas Aggie football in the late eighties and through the nineties.
With a 14 year record of 123-47-2, Slocum is the winningest coach in A&M history, and led A&M to be the only school in SWC history to post 3 consecutive perfect conference records. His "Wrecking Crew" defense led the SWC in all four statistical categories from 1991 through 1993 and led the nation in total defense in 1991. Slocum NEVER had a losing season. The only true blemishes on his career were his two 6-6 seasons ('96 and '02), and his 7-7 record against Texas Tech.
Thanks RC!
