Bottom line. We play them if that's how the bowl selections work out.

We don't don't go in, as fans, like scared little b*tches. Whether or not it's considered a no-win situation (beat them, no big deal / lose and OH NO HOW DO WE EVEN GO ON BEING A PROGRAM, BAS BULLSH*T LEFT AND RIGHT!), let this team play the ******* game.

It would be a premier game amidst a bunch of non-event worthless bowl matchups. And if we win, we win. If we lose, we lose. It will sure as hell tell us where this team and coaching staff really is.

But in the end it will still be one game. All this talk of it being something that will make or break the program is stupid. Short-term affects, sure, whatever. But if you think a loss is the kind of thing that will undermine everything that our move to the SEC has brought then you're being overdramatic or even more so a coward.

If we're not scared to play Bama, Auburn and LSU every year, with the possibility of losing, them why are we scared to play anyone? Isn't that why the team exists? TO PLAY.

How pointless and boring is it for a boxer to only agree to fight opponents that they're supposed to beat? The whole point of this is to compete and go in knowing you can win.

If we end up in a different bowl with a better opponent than Texas, are we scared then too?

Got dayum you, Chip Brown, for starting this bs out of thin freakin' air.

You just typed a lot of words that I will not read.

I honestly do not care. A 6-6 and a 7-5 team duking it out in a bowl game is embarrassing in its own right. Whoever it is. The only thing that matters is the final four. Everyone else is playing for s hits and grins.

This fear of Texas thing is one giant IRL troll that 99.9% of people associated with are biting on.

"The only thing we have to fear is FEAR itself..."

Let's goooo Aggie Rednecks!! Start your trucks and head to Houston!

With the game that the Wisconsin running back just had, I'd be more scared of playing them. Personally, I look forward to the possible matchup with the horns.

Not sure if people are scared or just smart when it comes to risk. Risking a ton to gain almost nothing is not the best plan. Strategically, it does not help us to play them at all but helps them to gain relevant games once again. Keep the foot on them, don't let up. I have a feeling the SEC office will not put us together because they know how to think strategically. What do I want? doesn't matter.

What is this fear you speak of?

Sounds like a lot of BS perception to me. You are being controlled by their message. It's what they want.

If we get matched up with them, fine. We will kick their sorry asses. That said, they don't get to pick and choose when it suits them. We call the shots now.

I agree.

This has been the case at least since the BCS started.

But, turns out; I care about those s hits and grins. And either you do as well, or you haven't cared about an Aggie bowl game once in your lifetime.

No one is afraid of the whorns. I think if we play them we will beat them. It depends which A&M team shows up but we would lose a close game or blow them out. t$ip$ haven't played anyone yet they act like they are good. Why didn't they play us in the Cotton Bowl or agree to play us every year? They are cowards. Now that they might have a chance they act like they are good. They don't deserve to be on the same field as the Aggies.

It's not his fault there are so many threads on TexAgs. That's entirely on us for either starting them as Ags or, in the case of trolls, allowing them to remain.

I guess it'll be this way a few more Thanksgivings to come.

Ding, ding, ding! Bingo.

Oooh I am so scared of as team whose marquee win was West Virginia. Seriously, they blow, we win by 21 on a bad day.

We should ask Deloss Dodd what he thinks is best for the rivalry, after all he is a KSU wildcat.

Stupid whorns, always want things their way. They didn't want to play us two years ago and now it's what they want.
So they try to turn it around, blame it on us. They know who said their schedule was full for years to come.

They're like the crazy ex who can't decide what the fuk they want. They know that their conference sucks too.

Bedford and his loud mouth, along with evey other burnt orange DB can jump off of the bridge over town lake.

There is no fear of playing tu. This is just the ****ing stupid ass tu spin machine at work. I hate those ****ers and would love to whip their ass in a crappy bowl game.

OP played right into their hands tho by starting a threat based on "What's this fear" .....

Honestly this is sounding more and more lilke the sips and media are wanting to put tu in the limelight and make us look bad. Right now, after all this media crap, if we play them it looks like we succumbed to what the sips want, and if we don't play them it's because we're afraid to play them. Perception-wise it's a win-f'king-win for them. Think of the little sheit bully kid who picks on bigger kids because if they hit back they're as*holes and if they don't he gets to walk around thinking he's all that.

I don't want to play tu because it's really nothing more than a marketing ploy that benefits tu way more than it does.

Let them continue to play in obscurity, because as sheity as our season has been we still deserve better.

As you may have guessed from the time of my original post, alcohol had inspired me to write so much.

In any case...

I actually don't care as much about the media spin that is going on about this, I'm talking about the people on this site that are propagating it.

I hope that most of them are in fact trolls, otherwise there's a sh*t-ton of poosays around here.

You obviously don't read this board do you? There are plenty people here that are hiding under their beds in fear.

media hate for A&M. espn/longhorn contract is blowing up. Longhorns play well it is $$$$$ for espn too. If they suck.. Espn won't land their advertising contracts to companies. It's obvious they are trying to turn the tables of best in state A&M to Longhorns. All about $$$ & their bull**** contract

I don't want to play tu when THEY want it. I want to play them when they don't want it. Funny how they wanted nothing to do with Johnny and the Cotton Bowl. Now they think they have a shot to win they are like *****s hanging out in a hotel lobby looking to score.

Play whoever they put in front of us. Period. I know we aren't 't dodging them. If the SEC is actively discouraging the match-up, that would be wrong. We said we would be glad to meet them in a bowl, so let's do it. Sack up.

tu has made this into a story simply because they think by playing us they can become relevant. Funny how tu wanted no part of us when JFF was around the past 2 years.

Not a fear of t.u., but a mistrust of this current version of Aggie football.

I really don't want to entrust something as meaningful as this game would be to a team that has at times shown to have completely no heart.

We have a team that should curb-stomp the 'sips, but we also have a team that is quite capable of getting beat by any decent FCS school. And as said above, we'll play them when they DONT want to play. With the SEC, we're fine just how it is, thanks.

We don't need them...they need us.


No fear.



Move along.




BTHO LSU!

We don't fear them, but we're destined for a better bowl than what they will qualify for.

If it happens, bring it on t-sips!

Let play them and beat them into the ground!

Not interested in playing tu until it is to our advantage. They took advantage of us long enough. Let it rest until then.

Nobody is/ should be afraid of playing tu, but the problem with playing them is that they ducked is in the Cotton bowl when we arguably might've been the best team in the country. Also they need something to make this season look like a huge success from 1st half to second half, and they think they can turn the tide in beating is in a meaningless bowl game. If we play them **** happens, if not who cares doesn't mean anything

Thanks. Good piece.

Ignore the whorn spin machine and trust that we land in a bowl to the east. I'm certain we'll play them again one day, more likely in a bowl/playoff game, but one where both teams are in a much better position with more on the line. If we play them now its a trash game. They get to take their best shot and dikride the exposure. Let'em play a sucky B1G team and suffer another year lousy ratings. Let's not be stupid and help them up.
