Yeah, they happen to find their way there once or twice a decade.

It's the SAN ANTONIO newspaper...does anyone really care what they say? It's third-rate....does anyone really read it????

Wrong Boy, if you are going to quote lifetime stats you need to indicate how many of the early years the games were only played in Austin..

---

SO you can selectively keep going back to that brief period of success in the 90's to make your case about aggie football "history".....but we can conveniently ignore the entire history of this "rivalry" game because the numbers aren't in your favor? Suck it up and prove everyone wrong then! Go out and win more games and quit making excuses about schedules, recruiting being, coaching, the weather, the media bias....go out there are do what Bowden did to make FSU the powerhouse it is today: ANYONE....ANYTIME.....ANYWHERE.....thoes teams were fearless! They were afraid of NOBODY!

So now trolls write for newspapers? Pretty embarrassing to claim to be a college football writer and not understand what a rivalry is. Self pwn3d.

Texas/OU (57-39) has been much closer than that with A&M (73-34). Take out the one consistent period of Aggie dominance in the 90's, and it's that much more one-side?

---

I wish it wasn't true, but OU has become the real rival of Texas.

We will always be a rival, but right now we aren't the one that matters.

the problem with people down in san antonio is that they really jump on any bandwagon with enough hype...i read that article today and the guy is just writing to all the idiots that live here. the day after the rose bowl last year there were thousands of people who probably never went to college wearing bevo shirts and longhorn hats. it's pretty ridiculous and proves to be irrelevant imo

but just about any 6th grader knows where the Austin and the University of Texas is located

They know that because its the capital, dumbass. It ain't because your school is located there. You think anybody can find Ann Arbor or South Bend on a map any better than College Station? Rumor has it they have pretty big schools there too?

Oh, and I bet most tsips have a good idea where Manhattan, Kansas is now...don't you?

pwned

ESPN Gameday knows where College Station is.

Go to Austin, take a left.

tu didn't put Austin on the map. hth

Without TAMU College Station wouldn't exist.

My point was that shallow fans from the state of Texas will more quickly latch onto tu because of the name. People across the nation do not identify tu as the academic mecca of Texas ... my comment has to do with people from across the state of Texas that have never visited either school.

Had they visited the schools, they would realize tu is a soul-less box of a school with nothing to love but their recent record in football. Take that away and what do you have? A little over a hundred years of t-sips trying to muster some type of positive identity. I sincerely hope your AD's marketing campaign works on you, but I'll more than likely be reading about multiple accounts of low-life behavior Saturday morning.

BTHOtu!!!

No offense, but it ain't the name, it's the winning.

A&M used to have "t-shirt fans," too.

As Metallica would say, ... "SAD BUT TRUE"

As much as we may not like it, a rivalry is a rivalry only if there is competition. Lately we have been embarrassed in this series and every other big one. *cough* ... 1-14 mean anything?

any horn saying a&m isn't a rival is messing with you...

however, we don't keep up our end of the bargain and vice versa when we're a good team. its not very often that this rivalry is "relevant." that's tough to get mad about when its so true.

quote:

Shoot, most college football fans couldn't point to College Station on a map

---

they couldn't point to state college either, so i guess penn state is a terrible program. same for uga, blacksburg, etc.

great logic.

I have cousins that never considered college, but love tu. They've never been there ... we have no family that went there ... no connections whatsoever, but they like tu. And these cousins grew up during A&M's reign.

Goodness, you're amusing. Do you really take it this seriously?

We're not their rival. Ou is t.u.'s rival. We're just in the same state/division that they are in. Both school have a history, which is unique to other teams in the Big XII, but it's nothing special.

When we start winning things may jump up a notch, in other sports (where a real rivalry exists between A&M and t.u.).

I don't take kindly to people downplaying A&M on an A&M Football board.

Texas A&M and the Spirit of Aggieland is something I take very seriously, yes. What's your hobby?

What real college football fan doesn't know about College Station? Dude, get off of your sip high-horse and put down tha splif.



I am an Aggie, an Aggie is me, I'm true Maroon, from my head to my feet!

Crack is a helluva drug. 100+ years of A&M vs tu is definately "a rival".

aggiealphamale,
Confident your shallow simple minded cousins will change their allegiance as soon as the winning changes colors.

so when we wacked them on the head 9 out of 10 years they were temporarily not our rival?


*rolls eyes*

ttt ... all you doubters should be ashamed.
