"Following the great heights of the 1960s and 70s, Aggie football fell upon hard times. Many longtime Aggie supporters attribute the decline to administrators at both Utah and BYU freezing then-superior USU out of the newly forming WAC."

(1) Is it the genesis of the Aggie narrative that "everyone just wants to keep USU down"?
(2) Also, the WAC formed in 1962, well before the Aggies supposed "great heights."
(3) Aggies had conference championships in '60 and '61 (both of which were shared with Wyoming) and '78 (shared with San Jose State) and '79.
So one OCC. Great heights indeed.
