There really is no need for a petition for or against the game being brought back. There isn't one for when they schedule out of conference games with crappy schools or P5 schools. Why would this be any different? It's about money and when there is enough of it, it will be scheduled. That will be the deciding factor, how much money can we make?
They will schedule it and everyone will show up, even those who will hate it will watch it in some way shape or form. Many on here are against it but not enough to not watch it.
Baloney. If it was just money, they'd already be on our, say, 2020-2022 schedule. Not even close.Duckhook said:12mn95 said:

Bingo! Blue star for you.

...and I never said that, Duck.
TexAgs folk dislike re-starting the game in overwhelming numbers. That's my point.
This is the 3rd highly unscientific poll I've added up.
Usually 75-85% "+/- "no way"....

It's about A LOT MORE than just money, at least on the A&M side. Leverage, for example.
I mean, yeah, I guess tu really needs the cash...but we don't.
(You're right...the petition idea is even dumber than playing the game...)

Well on the money front I know that Eddie Gossage (President of TMS) indicated he would be interested in hosting the Aggie/ tsip game at Texas Motor Speedway. That would seat over 200,000 fans and I'm sure would sell out.
Having said that I am a student of history. The tsips forced A&M to fire Coach Moran in order to join the SWC. Later they sabotaged Aggie efforts to get into the SEC in the 1990s so they could form the Big-12. Then a few short years ago they cancelled this game in an effort to keep the Aggies in the Big-12. All of this ignores the blatant fist pumping and hook-em signs by refs that have officiated Aggie-tsip games, the era before scholarship limits when they would sign players they never intended to start to keep them off the Aggie roster and the fact they they dictated that the first two decades of the rivalry were either played in Austin or at a neutral site.
Do I miss the game and giving tsip friends and neighbors grief? Sure I do, but is has not prevented me from giving them grief over their crap conference, their recent string of strange coaches, their failed TV network, their c**kcs not glocks protests, et al. If you want it just to give tsips a hard time then you are not paying attention to the clown show they have going on down there; plenty of things to berate them on without the need to give them a marquee game and national exposure (win or lose) to bolster their otherwise lackluster schedule.
Also if you can't find a hog or corndog to butt heads with you HAVE to be a first generation Texan of from the far west portions of the state. Most DFW Aggies have friends if not family that are Razorback fans and most H-Town Aggies have the same thing when it comes to the Swamp Kitties So unless you live west of the Pecos you should be able to find some Arkansas and LSU fans to haze by asking around at work, church or your local bar.

Look, I would like to see the game played again, but I understand the opinions of those who don't. I'm as happy as anybody about the move to the SEC and the visibility it has given us.
I'm not going to try to change any minds, but I'll tell you what I miss most about the game. Sometime 8 or 10 years ago we won when we were not favored. My wife and I went out for dinner and drinks, and it's possible that I had one or two too many. Possible. I had a great time sitting there calling all my teasip buddies to make sure they had seen the game and offering to bring them up to speed if they hadn't. It was fun, and I would have gotten the same call if the shoe was on the other foot.
I don't have one good friend from Bama, LSU, etc. that I can do that with. That's what I miss.

Both players were making a play on the ball. One player could see it was out-of-bounds. The other thought it was a playable ball. Both players have the right to pursue the ball. Both players are allowed incidental contact while pursuing the ball.

I wish we would have never gone to the SEC, because we've lost these great in-state games.
Lol! Intepretations. The Longhorn leans forward before the Aggie even gets there.. Isn't the Longhorn leading?Your Friend said:LightningDammitt said:Your Friend said:Is this not a penalty according to the rule?C Loves L said:Quote:

Isn't it helmet to helmet? The aTm player CLEARLY led with the crown of his helmet.

There it is folks....the first "Ag" who doesn't like the SEC move. Congrats!
Play on the ball?? The ball was on the ground when he hit him in the head with the crown of his helmet. Was it a brutal hit, not to me but that is the rule.LightningDammitt said:Your Friend said:Is this not a penalty according to the rule?C Loves L said:Quote:

Thank you for the heads up. If it is a troll, (or a sock?), I wonder who it is?
Lol! Shall we go through the whole rule book again? The Longhorn was in the way of his view of the ball, and he is allowed to make a play... It could have been percieved as a fumble, or even a tipped ball. Was the helmet-to-helmet intentional? Looks incidental to me, but I am not about to change your mindy.12mn95 said:Play on the ball??

This. And not to mention.......Quote:
We wanted out of a crap conference manipulated by a bad conference member. To many teams have left the conference have left because of the same member.

Dude, it doesn't matter if it was incidental, accidental, or hwtever. Helmet to helmet is an automatic personal foul. Learn the rules.
I doubt we'll get the same bowl game if we're both really good. We'll finish 2nd or 3rd in the SEC and they'll be in the playoff.Quote:
the game will happen within the next 10 years
any given year there's a decent chance we would end up in a bowl. If we are ever both really good at the same time it would be impossible to avoid (like has been claimed in the past)
