Time to renew one of the best college football rivalries ever.

We fans, after 6 years, will finally have a rival!

Our players will finally have a rival!

Class of 96 and I dont give two ****s if we ever play the sips again. Means as much as reviving any other old dead rivalry. Hey we should play smu or TCU or rice or uh or Baylor too. Time to move in quit clinging to the past, geezus

When "leadership" won't make a decision and says we'll let the crowd vote on it you know what's coming next.

The typical arrogant, elitist Aggie bashing sip should not be allowed on Kyle Field at a football game. And that's most of them. The millennials have no experience interacting with them. When they do, they will know where this old is coming from. And that does not include the acolytes of the press. We just need that bunch anymore. Period.

I think you are wrong. But not for the reason you may think. We don't need to play sip. On that point we agree.

However, if you think the SJW generation would change their mind about sip based on spending time with them, you are wrong. The current students and recently former students are aligned more with sip than they are with the older Ags.

That is painful to say, but it is true nonetheless.

Young and his ilk are not a result of some poor decision made by a few rogue regents. He is, and is intended to be, the representation of making Texas A&M look like all of the other bastions of higher education. Our leadership doesn't want to be better than tu Austin, they want to be them. They want to be UC Berkley. They want to be viewed as the progressive, liberal institution competing with the other progressive, liberal institutions.

And that is seen in our leadership, in our student body, but mostly in our faculty.

The evidence for that is clear and it is indisputable.

Back in the 80s when I was a student, BOR didn't care what the students thought. They might have acted like they cared, but they went with the donor or money.

Our U Prez came from UW...in SEATTLE! If anyone is surprised at his politics and how different they are from anything remotely Texas, then that bit of "really dumb" is on them!

Stay in you lane, bro...

You talk to LSU about this?

Sure, they're still butthurt about losing to "the knee" in septuple OT, but don't confuse their anger with rivalry.

If Texas A&M is, in fact, an institution of higher learning then learn from history and ask "Why did Texas A&M ESCAPE from the Big12?". It's not one-time events with ref bias - it's the texas way. We had 3 meetings stolen during my time at A&M and countless other blatant game-changing calls, including the final meeting.

Hopefully, this vote is used to end the debate for another decade and send a resounding message to everyone that the only time a game will be played with the 40 aches orange brood is in the Bowl's/Playoffs.

Gah...That article has a feel of Aggies being needy.

Student Senate doing what they do best. The final vote tally could be 3 to 0 in favor, and the sips AND the media will bang the "100% in favor vote" till Dinah blows her horn.

LOL

Especially considering that the sips would bend over backwards insisting that the Red River Rivalry game was against their "real" rival.

F*** them and f*** anyone who wants to crawl back to them.

Our move to the SEC was billed as a "100 year decision ". I move we don't play the sips for a 100 years.

Playing and beating them is the only thing that should matter. Why? Because it's fun and if you don't think it's fun then you're just scared!

The children forget (or likely don't know) that 3 other schools stopped playing them too. Every Big XII school besides OU was looking for a way out.

The 4 schools that had options left, accepting the fate of never playing them again in football.

What's done is done.

Probably going to vote no b/c I don't want to encourage the Student Government to continue crafting stupid referendum questions and resolutions.

Rather they focus on lowering my student fees.

Wrong. The bottom line is the answer to this question-

Is beating them on the football good for us?

The answer-

Yes.

Play the game. Too many olds on here with loser attitudes based on decades of little brother mentality. Let the new generation prove it on the field- you guys had your turn and munsoned it. We aren't afraid.

Here is a different perspective
Playing teams from Texas doesn't help us become a National Brand.

Wrong again. Replacing, say, Nichols State, by renewing the rivalry would bring a ton of eyeballs to our program. It would bring a huge viewership regardless of how many on here argue that no one cares about it outside of the state.

WE ARE THE JONESES NOW. Let's beat them on the field and send coach kissy face packing!

Too bad it's not the whole crowd. It doesn't include those former students. You know, the one's who support the university and already paid their dues.

I guess Sharp and Young are going to shove this down the majority's throats. Through kids that know dick about the rivalry.

If you're going to schedule a consistent out of conference power 5 then there needs to be a reason that it benefits A&M in recruiting. Florida State it is....let Texas burn down that conference first then reexamine.

Is it your contention that beating the sips would not help recruiting?

Why do we need to backtrack and play those f@@@ers again this is like going back to your ex wife or husband. This type of decision making is why we have always been known as a sleeping giant we literally can't get out of our on way! It has always been one step forward two steps back how appropriate we may finally have the right coach and be in the right conference and have people like sharp and young dragging the university back to our 60s and 70s past.
