TU gets:
1) the easiest SEC schedule this year and maybe of all time
2) to play the worst ranked team first round in the playoffs
3) to play the second worst ranked team in the second round
4) the non-targeting call that kept ASU from almost assuredly winning
5) to play the the semi-final in Dallas, which is essentially a home game for them

And we're supposed to believe there is no bias.

They get favorable treatment because we don't whine about it hard enough. So we should really lean into the whining more.

Bro - let's concentrate on better play calls leading up to a 4th and 1, then on stopping the run…..you are jumping way ahead here!

Sorry, I should have done the sarcasm tag. This forum is nothing but whining and conspiracy theories. Seemingly an entire fanbase of Reddit dorks that need to be shoved in a locker.

There are only 2 semifinal locations and 4 teams in the semifinals. It was always going to be 50/50 whether Texas would play in the Cotton Bowl if the Horns got that far.

Had Texas beat Georgia in the CCG then it would have been on the other side of the bracket in the Orange Bowl for the semis.

I saw a TikTok video that AZ State is appealing the game's outcome because during regulation their blocked field goal that struck the turf bounced up & still went through the uprights before ever being touched by another t.u. player after the initial block, so under these circumstances, it allegedly should have counted.

I'm LAZY & GULLIBLE, so I absolutely didn't do any research to verify; but, does such a rule even exist?

IF it does & the 3 points should have counted, what actual recourse would happen? The other important issue made in the video was the 'power' that the Playoff Committee holds over games, not NCAA bylaws &/or conference terms, which seemed to imply they could alter the outcome???

Please advise, regardless if this comment solidifies my stupidity in many folks' mind; thanks!

Anybody that thought for a second they would call targeting on Texas there is crazy. If it was ASU it would have been called.

What i would like to see is some accountability. Ive not heard one respected commentator/rules analyst say it wasnt targeting yet one guy in a booth probably changes outcome of game. That cant happen. That replay official cant have a job going forward. Period.
Nothing looks more foolish than tradition to those who have none.

And yet everything the OP said is 100% factual.


Which brings up another part of our long term problem. Our whiny battered's are more interested in tearing us down than noticing crooked BS going on all around us.

Ball can't touch the ground but even if it could and ASU had a legitimate complaint the outcome of the game can't be overturned as there is no mechanism to do so. Once the final second is complete in a game it's over, period. Plus, to set the precedent of over turning a game after the fact would be a slippery slope.

Professional wrestling is more honest and is more believable than college football simply because wrestling embraces their fakeness.

Don't forget trashing the field to get an irreversible call overturned. No delay of game, no unsportsmanlike conduct. I'm giving it one more year, then I'm done. Will enjoy my friends and give 2 ****s after 35 years. If we don't know how to play the politics, we will never win. Ever.

I can speak as a former sip tshirt fan in HS, the marketing thing is the real problem. As a kid with no ties to either school, you choose the team to root for based on brand and marketing. 2 major choices for my home state of Texas is TAMU and UT. One team is orange and their jersey says "TEXAS" the other team is maroon and the jersey says "TEXAS A&M" So, at quick glance as a young boy age 6 or 7, one teams represents "TEXAS" the other represents "TEXAS A&M". Well, I know I'm from Texas so I want to choose the team that represents me as a Texan. Boom, decision made and i was locked into being a tshirt sip fan until the year after I graduated HS. I was such a big fan of college football and what it did differently to the NFL (traditions, bands, atmosphere, passion) that I found myself researching the unique traditions of different universities. I found myself slowly realizing that TAMU had some incredible traditions. I then noticed that EVERYTHING that made CFB better IMO than the NFL, TAMU did BETTER than tu. I slowly found myself rooting for A&M and slowly started to despise the fact that tu was winning more and getting more publicity than the clearly better culture of CFB found at TAMU. The only way to ever win the majority of the Texans with no ties is to either rebrand the football team with just "TEXAS AGGIES" so young fans feel represented and not confused (that won't ever happen A&M is here to stay. The only other option to getting the new generations into the TAMU camp is to WIN WIN WIN. It's the same concept as Bama and Auburn. People in Alabama (unless they have ties to Auburn) are most likely going to choose to support BAMA with minor exception. Our current brand won't beat the horns when it comes to the masses unless TAMU starts piling up the trophies. I still want TAMU success and I want national exposure so the nation can see how amazing the 12th man is, how loud Kyle Field can get and how incredible the FTAB is along with the other traditions. The most passionate and impressive CFB culture in the U.S is found in Texas and the world should know it's TAMU not tu. The most frustrating part is that aggies DESERVE football success. Aggies are loyal and do their part every single game in Kyle Field only to get let down. Rant over.

If you think it's bad right now, prepare for it to get much worse.

SEC wants Texas to be their new Alabama.

It will get the conference more ratings, $, and everything they were hoping for when they voted these *******s in.

They've had a really good squad the last two seasons. It's up to A&M to up their game and match them. Hopefully Elko does a much better job from here on out, but I wouldn't hold my breath. He feels like Sherman 2.0.

When is the last time the 12th Man has caused an official call to be overturned that changed the outcome of a game?

Need to step it up if you want to win

We could have prevented all this by remaining in the Big Twelve.

Happy now?
