Why does everyone seem to hate the idea of playing tu in a bowl?

It would be a perfect opportunity for revenge for that miserable night on Thanksgiving 2011, and all the BS we've had to put up with from their fans ever since. Especially considering the fact that we likely won't play them in the regular season for a while.

Is it because you really think they would beat us? They hardly have a resume and have a much weaker schedule. Their best win is WVU. They let Iowa State hang 45 on them. They got blown out at home by BYU.

I don't care what happened with us on Saturday. Sumlin would get the team fired up and I can pretty much guarantee our fans would be 100x louder than the sip fans were we to play them in Houston.

I think the general concern among the fans...is that this A&M team has holes...that cannot be fixed in 2014 especially with the injuries at LB and D-line. The horns have a good rushing attack and that could be a big problem. Would also like a more experienced QB at the helm

Swoopes is hardly experienced... and if we have Garrett back by the bowl, then he'll harass Swoopes all night.

tu hardly has an offense. then again we hardly have a defense.

But but we might lose.

Then we can't tell the rest of the college football world how much better we are than texas and can't use the #WRTS anymore

Have you no common sense ?
It's better for us not to play Texas , if we don't play them we cannot lose to them
#WRTS will live on

And the horns have a solid D and we have a true freshman at QB. Advantage horns.

Just the losers have an issue. They see burnt orange and get a mental inferiority complex.

My class regularly kicked the dog crap out of them. It feels good.

Only if we switch to the wishbone and run 32 lead w tra Carson every play

It's like novacain, give it time it always works.

Anyone who is saying "but but we might lose" should go to the pound and get every dog they have.

We "might lose" to Duke, OU, and Northwestern in a bowl too.

But they are not in Texas.
We can still #WRTS if we lose to those teams
Come on people

Because right now it's a toss up if we would win. We would have loved to play them with JFF the last two years or probably next year after KA has a year under his belt. People are afraid of uncertainty and damaging our recruiting advantage.

Me personally, I say let's BTHOtu.

A toss up if we played at Kyle maybe.

We should beat them in a neutral field though where we don't have to contend with a home field disadvantage.

We are not going to play Texas in some low tier bowl. Both schools will make sure it doesn't happen. When we do finally play again, it will mean something.

If I felt like we could blow them out and embarrass them, I say we play them. But the way we've been playing lately and with our injuries and overall lack of depth... would rather pass this year. Lets get all the pieces in place first.

Both team suck ass, I'd rather see this when both teams (esp us) are good.

Because the are improving, they are in most of their games win or lose, we are not. I don't think they've had a 59-0 loss. They don't seem to give up like we do, plus, t.u. would beat the absolute unmitigated hell out of A&M right now and would jump at the chance to do it.

Yeah, sounds like A&M is heading to the Outback.

Would be a helluva pillow fight though.

let's play.

we should NEVER shy away from playing the sips.

in any game, there's a chance you lose...

but you play games for the opportunity to WIN...

so sick of the LOSERS, BAS, and PUSSIFICATION on these threads...

That's the most sense I've heard on any of the Texas-Bowl game threads.

You apparently haven't availed yourself to many a good discussion about this and started your own thread.

With regards to having to put up with **** from ut fans - I've not had to put up with any. They've come across as the obsessed ex-girlfriend as they realize the lack of appeal the conference they've created has. You shouldn't let them get in your head.

That said, it's a simple risk-reward judgment. Not. In. Our. Best. Interest. Who would be most excited about the game? Why?

With all that said - if we play in a bowl game then so be it.

Their defense eats spread teams and they have a power running game. Only 1 other team has kept Baylor under 45 and Bama is the only other team to keep WVA under 30.

We aren't as good and tu has way more to gain by beating us. We gain nothing by playing them right now.

Newsflash: Synder knows how to defend the power running game. It is the spread he has problems with.

And our O would have scored 34 points or more two weeks in a row were it not for piss poor play calling by Spav at the end of the game.
AgBeliever
How long do you want to ignore this user?
But I rather play the Cheeseheads in the Outback than have to deal with sip fans in Houston, so the whole tu thing is moot.

I don't think you realize how spent the fans truly are.

anywhere / anytime...

But, there seem to be a lot of little girls around here these days in the market for one of these...

Wouldnt it look bad if we declined a bowl invite?
Swagmanag
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Would be pretty evenly matched although I could see them getting in our heads. They'd have less to lose I think. The bowl would not feel like a low tier bowl, that's for sure.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Because a highly publicized slap fight in a bottom tier bowl makes the program look small. There is nothing to win.

Because all the chicken littles are overly impressed with 4 of their last 5 games with wins against Iowa State, TTU, WVU, and OklaState.
