See your the ones I'M TALKING BOUT!!!

The ones who are actually attending the school paying $35k in tuition?? The ones who have the right to vote to finally play our bitter rival? You olds have already graduated after getting to watch a&m vs tu for four years. Idgaf if you guys are tired of it, new army hasn't even gotten to experience it yet.

Son....I've been paying for my education.

You haven't, you can go on and chill for a minute.

---

Dang you gave up pretty easy considering you're the one who started this thread

---

Give up? Son, i told you to shut up.....think you got your wires crossed

what are you 17? go back and look at the issues with referees, the unequal distribution of money, the NCAA ruling on the longhorn network, how there is no big 12 network only the longhorn network, which is owned by ESPN. GO back and look at how baylor sued us for leaving, look at how texas manhandled the rest of the conference to have nobody in the state play us, look at how everyone said it was a stupid idea, look at all the comments deloss dodds made in regards to the rivalry and see how well we have recruited, see how well we have branded ourselves outside of the big 12. I don't want to play them because I'm petty, I don't want them to sit in our spotlight for a second, i want to wait until they beg us, I want that school to lick the cow **** off my shoes before we can begin to think about playing them again.

This isn't about having fun right now, this is about proving we are the better school.

---

They finished the season ranked higher than us and were ranked higher in recruiting.

---

1. They were always ranked higher than they should have been until they beat georgia
2. When you din't play clemson and alabama its easy to look cool
3. They start out as preseason top 25 and until this past year they sucked it up
4. Cant beat turtles
5. You suck
6. I hope your kid hates you

---

1. #9 in the final rankings after beating Georgia doesn't seem completely crazy to me. I think they deserved to be more in the 11-14 range, but less obvious bias with that ranking than usual.
2. This shows how their road to the playoff will be easier than ours every single year. If they're anywhere near halfway decent, they have a good chance of making it.
3. Not arguing against this.
4. One of the highlights of the season. But I don't think their week 15 team would have even come close to losing that game. Let's hope they don't pick up where they left off next season.

GD.......either you're fugging ignorant or incapable of reading because countless users have given a multitude of reasons on countless threads. None of which have to do with fear. Maybe we should quit playing Bama too bc they beat us every time, if that's the case? Sorry Clemson, we can't play you this fall because you're the preseason #1 and well, "we're scared"........ SIPS. ARE. HORRIBLE. BUSINESS. PARTNERS. And horrible people to begin with (see Chiswell, Robin).........it's not hard to surmise that Dr R. Bowen Loftin is a hell of a lot more intelligent and prescient thinker than you are, or most anyone on this board for that matter. He got us the f out. We are infinitely better off for it. What part of that do you seriously not understand?

What Ihatefallscounty said. I want to play Clemson, Notre Dame, Miami, USC, etc. I don't give a crap about the turds in Austin. They ONLY want to play us because they need us to bolster their **** Schedule. If you decide to lay with the Devil, don't come crying to me about what comes next. We "Old Ags" all KNOW what comes next. They are the anti-Aggie and I want nothing to do with them. Let them rot in the bed they have made, I have no interest in bailing them out.

Yes. TU has LSU, Alabama, Michigan, Ohio State and Georgia (haha) lined up, but they still need us to "bolster" their schedule. Good bull.

---

Bowen Loftin wanted the game when we left and Deloss said no. Bowen Loftin also wants the game today as a fan, but doesn't think there's much business incentive. Just in case you were wondering what that intelligent man actually believes or wants. Basically, he agrees with the the person you're shouting down, because that money isn't going into his pockets anymore either. Can't blame a kid for not giving a damn about the business side of things when that money isn't going to benefit him in any tangible way.

Personally don't care one way or the other, but I think some of y'all take this **** too seriously, because that money isn't going into your pockets either and football is supposed to be fun. I think playing Texas would be fun, I think playing Clemson was/will be fun. I'd rather play Texas than Colorado.

Also, embarrassed for the 30 year old talking to a 22 year old like he's in his 60.

Couldn't be further from the truth. It comes from being shafted in literally every way. Whether it being splitting revenue from the game, getting shafted from sip-fans disguised as refs, refusing to do anything that wasn't in their own selfish interests at the literal cost of every other conference member, among many many other examples.

It has nothing to do with potentially losing to them a few times here and there. It is not coincidence A&M's football program has never been better in just about every metric, since deciding to leave the abusive relationship with t.u.

Please stop being wrong. Quit exaggerating/generalizing.

My main problem is that I don't want to have to play the horns at the expense of playing a different P5 opponent.

How would you have liked to have not played Clemson last season and played the horns instead?

How would like the major P5 non-conference game to ALWAYS be the horns?

---

I would've preferred to play tu at home over clemson in an absolute heart beat

---

wow

after all the recognition and power that game gave us......you'd still pick the tu game?

Your here for dandelions and rainbows kid, Texags is not the place for you.

Yes, those with more wisdom and experience should never try to guide or advise younger, less experienced folks.

If your kid wants to try LSD, you should give it to him. It's his time, right?

1. Lots of reasons not to play the game, they have been discussed ad naseum, no reason to rehash.

2. Most of the folks who want to play the game (i.e. current students) have no idea of what happened behind the scenes, how TAMU was always marginalized, the sips, etc.

3. Most do not know about the long term history.- i.e. tu stopped playing TAMU when DX Bible was our head coach in the 1920's. tu could not beat us, so they refused to play us because we were too mean, too physical and won all of the time. When they were able to hire DX, suddenly they wanted to play us again- and we went running back.

4. in 2011, tu showed how little they cared for us by promising the Pac 12 they would bring us with them to the Pac 12- even though the topic was never broached with us. We found out about it one Sunday afternoon when Larry Scott showed up with a contract to signs and a schedule for all of the various sports. We said no thanks- and oh bye the way, you might want to ask them about the longhorn network (which the sips had failed to mention to them).

further, when Bowtie and Byrne went to visit with cunningham and deloss, they said it was on a need to know basis- and we did not need to know. when we said we are not going to the Pac 12, THEY said if you go anywhere else we will NEVER play you again. When we joined the SEC and said we will play you anywhere anytime, they said we are booked up for a bunch of years- basically don't call us we'll call you. They also pressured the other Big XII to not play us.

5. the TAMU vs tu was meaningless out side the Texas market. I have traveled extensively around the US and hardly anyone watched it- much less knew about it. It was never a "rivalry" game at the same level of Bama/Auburn, Arkm/Navy, UCLA/USA, OSU/Michigan, etc. Heck, tu to this day says we are not their rival- ou is their historic rival.

So once again, tu has decided they need to play us again and there are Aggies willing to rush back into that abusive marraige because tu wants us to.

Paraphrasing an old adage "when I was a child I did childish things, when I became an adult I put away my toys and did adult things"
