And that is the problem. The people who truly matter with having this discussion continue to avoid each other, either out of pride or spite or whatever reason you want to come up with.

I would like to play them again, rivalry is what makes CFB great.
That being said, I'm not sure there is another two programs who are this close in physical proximity who refuse to play each other because they pretty much despise each other.

No spite, no pride. Just o-v-e-r.

Absolutely, and I don't think (least I hope not anyway) that anyone is claiming that us giving them the middle finger is going to shove them into irrelevancy. They're cow. They'll always have a presence, a big presence. It'll just be without us. On our terms. As it should have been ages ago. They're not calling our shots anymore. And I thank John Sharp for recognizing that. If everyone else wants to continue to be their pawn for the next several decades......

One way or another, they'll make a push toward relevance. Whether it's 3 years from now after firing Strong or 10 years from now after Patterson, they'll bring in someone who knows what they're doing and pick up where they left off.
At that point, there won't be much direct record establishing us as the superior team. They'll be bdf champions, and start claiming they're superior, and the media will eat that **** up like Ketch scarfs down pluckers.

True, but they'll do that anyway, even if we beat them annually between now and then.
Edit: before someone accuses me of BAS, my reply was directed at 1) what the sips will say, regardless of facts to the contrary and 2) what the media will say, also without regard to facts. I just don't think there's a way to shut up the sips, and the liberal media loves its own.
quote:The 'big-12' conference is a J-O-K-E. Everyone knows this, and that's why the Big-12 co-champ 'One True Champion' didnt get an invite to the playoff this past year. Until that conference becomes relevant, whorn is more 'done' than chicken fried steak. I am unaware of available programs that could/would become part of the Big-12 ****show. The GoR makes leaving the Big-12 highly problematic for at least what, 6 more years? All of this points to whorn continuing to be chained into college football's sex-slave dungeon (need Cuppy to gif the attached image w/Big-12 logo plus action). In other words, plenty of time for Sumlin and Chavis to go get a natty. At that point, whorn could sing naked in Times Square (hat-tip to Naked Cowboy), and everyone following college football would still know who's got the biggest balls in cowtown.
I understand the sentiment of not wanting anything to do with the sips, but this mentality of trying to starve them of attention until they fade into permanent mediocrity is foolish.

The best way to ensure the long term survival of this program is to show the state, the nation and the whole world that we will BTHO tu, and then to beat them again, then keep beating them until there is no doubt in anyone's mind that A&M is THE program in this state.
