I disagree.
I declare that any reason stated about why we SHOULDNT play them is invalid. And only reasons FOR the game are valid.
Wow it's easy to win arguments.

Would love to see the Texas /Texas A&M rivalry resume on the football field. Four years of working on the Aggie Bonfire as a prelude to the game vs. the hated Longhorns was a beautiful thing. I miss it.
We have no rivals in the SEC. As Christian Kirk said this season...we have a list of games to play on the schedule but no actual rival.
A real rivalry (not the faux kind some Aggies say we have with LSU...or Alabama...or whatever) brings passion, hate and emotion. We don't have that anymore. I miss it.
My Ag tag speaks for itself. I don't owe you an accounting of what I did as a student or after I graduated.Quote:
So Rocky...after what I wrote...that's your response? Ever attended Texas A&M?
Don't you think its a tad early to be making this assessment? I'd say LSU is and will increase over the years as our rival. UTa is in the past bro.RhodeAg said:
So...you guys are fine with having no rivals...just a group of names on the schedule that excite no one. Great.
That's not me. I love the passion of facing a rival you truly despise (and they despise you). Texas was it. Beat 'em and it was a great thing. Lose?...it was a real downer.
But there was always next year.
We have no rivals in the SEC. Just a schedule. I don't hate LSU...or Alabama...or Mississippi State...or anyone in the SEC. I actually like Alabama...and how they run things.
I hate not hating some school.
i still hate the University of Texas at Austin. Gig 'em.

RhodeAg said:
Chicken Ranch, I hear you. Maybe some day, we will actually develop a rivalry with Arkansas...or LSU...or someone.
The rivalry with Texas was unique. We both inhabit Texas. Nothing like this rivalry will replace it. Not LSU...not Arkansas. This is what we have lost.
Yeah...monetarily we're better off. But there is no passion. And i lament that. i guess not many Aggies care...and that's fine. I can't do anything to change that.
