Definitely LSU. Was always first game of the season til they ran….we've actually played them more times than Tech. I'd say Tech/Arky is third

I don't see any so-called rivalries in the SEC. Every conference game is a BIG Game! We left the rivalry stuff behind when the SWC dissolved and we moved to the SEC!

And guess what, here come the Sooners and the sips mealy mouthing around jealous of what A&M has got going in the SEC, because they can't keep up in the made to order conference courtesy of Deloss Dodds. They are not even on the schedule and they got their got damn big noses planted in our ass! Fck'em!

I still have an irrational hatred of Baylor can't quite get rid of, can't even put my finger on it exactly.

When TU and Baylor play I hope the stadium basically goes up a la Dark Knight Rises.

I am now ready for Alabama to never win another football game, and pretty damn tired of LSU too.


Lol...i can put my finger on the Baylor hatred.
They wormed their way in in the Big 12 then threatened lawsuits on our exit.
That, and every Baylor grad i went to post-grad school with were insufferable a holes who thought they were better than everyone
In all my years in business, I never met a baylol grad who was successful unless daddy made him the boss or gave him the company. Most of their students couldn't get into A&M or tu and tceh was too far away. Unless you want to be a choir director or sell carpet why go there.

Longhorns are our #1 rival, even though we're not in the same conference and haven't played in awhile. Those things are both changing soon. They're the other big school in our state. The rivalry is so natural that it can't be stopped; it's inevitable. Embrace it. And **** tu.


Baylor isn't a rival. They're the scum that leaves a ring around the edge of the tub. They're arrogant and inferior. Self righteous rapists. They weaseled their way into the Big 12, and then tried to stop us from leaving. I don't hate them, I loathe them and am disgusted by them. I don't want to beat them every year, I want their program to dissolve.


Tech used to be a decent #2 in state rival. I used to hate them because Leach would beat us, and I enjoyed making fun of their second rate education. But since we left the Big 12, I actually kind of like them now. They hate Texas and don't **** off them. And they weren't little *****es about us leaving. And I grew up out that way, so they're kind of a home team for me. But not rivals and won't be again any time soon.


LSU is our new #2 rival. They're next door, in the same conference, we play every year, both teams have been decent, and the games against them have been wild. They're smelly, dirty, loud, rude, underhanded, cheating, owe us money, ****ty education, and only care about football. Perfect combination for a bad guy and easy to hate.


Arky isn't our rival. We've owned them, and they've been pretty irrelevant, since we joined the SEC. They hate us because of it. But I don't have any strong feelings towards them. That may change if they rise in prominence and beat us a few more times.


South Carolina is our official cross division rival. That rivalry is completely artificial. We have no history with them and are too far apart physically. Hopefully that goes away with the re-org. I'd much rather play Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, etc. than SC every year.

The SEC move changed a lot of things. Now, there is no true rival. Just us and them. That was one of the few things sumlin understood.

The sips were the biggest. Most of what we did was about being as good as them. That was then! Now, they are begging to get into the big boy league.

Tech and Baylor were loathed. The tech fans were the worst.

It's different now. Tech and Baylor have been relegated. The BDF will probably cease to be a power conference in the next 20 years.

The sips used to be the devil. Now, they are more like that annoying British guy on lost in space.

So, the rival is whoever stands in our way.

It really depends how you define "rival".

If you define it as who you recruit against and who is the most impactful "win" of a season. It's Bama.

Now that we recruit nationally, Bama is our biggest rival. Combine that with their recent and historic dominance, beating them on the field legitimizes us as a national power.

That being said, I don't hate Bama or want them to lose any games that don't impact our standing. I want them to continue to be the metric that we are measured against.

If you define a rival as who you hate and actively want to lose every game. Then that is tu and Baylor.

I hate LSU but I don't want them to lose every game. I generally want them to be good so when we beat them it means something.

I don't think about Arky or OU at all.

So depending on your definition, it's either:

1.) Bama
2.) LSU

Or

1.) tu
2.) Baylor

I hate tu and will always hate them, but Bama is our true rival right now.

Texags and social media is the #1 rival to the team with all the false expectations, attacks, ignorance, and idiots who think they know stuff.

tu is a historical rival, but should have gone away...look forward. Think we have built rivalry with Pigs, LSU, Bama, Ole Miss, MSU and Aub. Think we are 50/50 in games with Aub and therefore that becomes more of the rival thru the SEC years thus far, but prefer on beating LSU more than anyone anymore (even tu and I'm old school).

This, but I might change around the Mississippi and Alabama schools. It's 2022. No school from another conference is going to be your biggest rival. Sure, to Ags who went to A&M pre-2012 the sips are the biggest rival, and will surely return to true rival status if/when they start play in the SEC but until that happens, LSU, Bama, Auburn, Arky and the Miss schools are A&M's rivals. Sips are little brother.
People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.

If we begin to win like we should, EVERYBODY will be our rival. The hate will extend from coast to coast. The day I look forward to most is the day we lose and that team's fans storm the field. That will be glorious! It will be when we know we are a legitimate bad***!

Why is TT always mentioned. They're not enough rival to make a wart on a monkey's butt. Why give them the attention they so desire. They a Jr. College coach every two years. They can't recruit and who blames any player worth a damned not wanting to go to Lubbock, TX.

Two answers.

1. LSU
2. Wrong answer

They're the new Texas Tech to us in this conference. Only they've got recent championships to throw in our faces. Losing to them stings more than any other school we could possibly put on the schedule.

t.u. will always be #1

Followed very closely by LSU and the PIg

Used to be Tech

I have a feeling OU will shoot up that chart pretty quick here real soon.

No it isn't the PIGs owned us pre-SEC some people forget that.

I said since we joined the SEC we've owned them and they've been irrelevant. This is our 10th season in the SEC, and we won the first 9 meetings. They got one this year. Let's see if they can build on that.

We played 3 times right before changing conferences. They went 3-0 there. But that was 3 wins 10+ years ago. And even if you count those, the series is still 9-4.

Prior to that we played almost every year from 1927 to 1991. They held a decent edge in that series. But I was 4 in 1991 and am 35 now, so none of that matters to me.


Maybe you care more about Arky if you're around their fans more? I only know a couple.

I may be off-base here, but I feel Arkansas has become our new Tech (though I still detest ttu), being a school with expectations that far outweigh their pedigree, below-average academics in comparison to other member institutions, and tons of obnoxious t-shirt fans. I dislike LSU, but can at least point to their stellar academic record (athletics notwithstanding) as something redeeming.

Whether we like it or not, within 3 years the zombie conference known as the Big 12 will be dissolved and its two biggest teams will be full fledged members of the SEC. When that happens there will be an immediate contrast between t.u. and A&M. It will be immediate and ongoing and whether we like it or not the past rivalry will be renewed right where it left off and perhaps with even more intensity since we haven't met on the field or court since 2013. Every contest and every aspect of our facilities, coaching change, recruiting development etc will be reviewed and measured as an indication of the health of our athletic program relative to the t.u. coutnerpart.

Whatever rivalries might have developed within the SEC, we are going to be in an immediate footrace with t.u. and OU (our former conference mates). We better treat it that way because the old media narratives and recruiting narratives will return with vengeance. We are in a much better spot to win that race than we were 10 years ago but denying those rivalries will not change the narrative. Embrace it and grit your teeth.

I'd say our rival (in football) is whoever we need to beat to get a natty. Sips aren't on that path (other than marginally in recruiting) so not a rival and dgaf about them in any way shape or form. SEC west is primary rivals. Always want to beat bama and lsu for top spot. Miss schools are like tceh from swc and big12 in that we lose when we shouldnt and arky is down. Id put east champs next. The list above is accurate imo
