Man this is the first one that isn't really pulling at strings, it's just depressing.

Well, if Raptor says it…

I disagree for the sips have a lot to lose. They want into the CFP and if they beat us, they believe that they are in.

So they will be playing just as we will be, a pressure cooker.

Also, rattle Archie and see him fall apart. Just watching how Georgia took them apart is a start.

Elko said it best as to last year, we were pushed around in the line of scrimmage.

Not anymore.

Raptor, how painful was it to type that?

schollys were regulated in 72 or 73.
so they're 1 or 2 up from that point on, technically.

but had we still been playing them from 2012 to right now, we'd be up by at least a handful, if not more.
they were wandering about the badlands until Sark arrived and eventually turned things around.

You had me...up until "34-13". There's no way in hell their defense can hold Reed and his associates to just 13. We'll score at least 30.

Ouch

Approach it as a very important game.

Be sharp.

Fight like it's your last, as one should who loves the game.

Take care of business.

Beat the $ips.

Walk away knowing.....this was as it should be, and should always be. Notch in stock for a kill shot.

Next?

Either that or he's beyond BAS.

This is a terrible take and, with respect, bordering, if that's a word, on a stupid one. A&M just has a much better team this year, and usually that does matter. This year your roster, coaching, and identity are aligned, and I expect you to make a deep playoff run and possibly win it all.

The Horns' problems are structural. Most glaring is the complete lack of a running game and a secondary that leaks yards everywhere. And for some reason, every tight end we face, no matter how mediocre, has a career day against us. So we're about to get shredded by yours, who is actually quite good. I don't see Texas keeping up with A&M's offensive output, and A&M's defense is likely to keep us bottled up for most of the game. It's just not our year.

They are what defines TexAgs and make it great. Raptor is one of our greatest treasures.

Although it is frightening how accurate all these points are…

Henna tattoos. Multiple meanings. General meaning, "Today, tomorrow, forever". For Christians, "Father, Son, Holy Ghost". For Hispanics, "mi vida loca" (my crazy life)". At least we know it's not AI for once. Also note you can see her veins...

A&M's national ranking (top 3) creates:
Weight
Nervous energy
Media speculation
Fear of "the slip"

t.u. enters with:
Lower expectations
Far less pressure
"Nothing to lose" mentality

Often the looser team performs better in rivalry settings.

A&M has shown recent vulnerability in:
Tipped-ball interceptions
Strip-sack fumbles on long-developing plays
Sudden swing-yard plays that flip momentum

t.u. thrives on short fields and doesn't need many opportunities to capitalize.

t.u.:
Leads the all-time rivalry
Historically won consistently across eras
Many of A&M's wins are clustered in shorter streaks

Texas A&M:
Trails significantly in the rivalry series
Rarely held sustained dominance over decades

When emotion, rivalry, pride, and culture are stripped away, the facts quietly arrange themselves into a single conclusion:

t.u. has been, across decades, conferences, and generations, the more nationally successful program.

This doesn't diminish Texas A&M's legacy, traditions, or our passionate fanbase.
It simply acknowledges a truth that has hovered over the rivalry since its birth.

Where A&M has had moments,
t.u. has had eras.
Where A&M has had breakthroughs,
t.u. has had dynasties.

And where A&M has had hope,
t.u. has had hardware.

Not cheerful.
Not comfortable.
Just factual.


Somber Reality:
Even stripped of emotion, the rivalry numbers are stark and undeniable.

Tradition, ranking, momentum…none of it matters.
t.u. has burned down kingdoms with less.
And every now and then, the football gods demand a sacrifice.

This year…it will be us.

t.u. 34
A&M 13

TLDR.

We lose so sip can have temporary bragging rights right before we run the table and win a Natty. Jokes on them really.

The people that don't get it! It makes for a great thread. Priceless!

It's not believable. So our first lost is going to be by 3 scores to a mediocre cow team.???? Not happening.

Sorry. My BAS, while not terminal, seems to be chronic.

Another horrible flare-up!!!
