I didn't say it should be flattering just that it would be appropriate

Thank y'all. Needs to become a SEC storied film.
You mean when he said the they would decide if we get to play the Horns again? Also I would love to watch the video where he is discussing all of the wonderful content that would be on the LHN? They could now have lost dog alerts for the Austin neighborhoods that receive the LHN.therealnick05 said:
Does anyone have the photo from the newspaper (I think the chronicle) where A&M offered to play the horns and Dodds turns us down?

Texas AD on Texas A&M: 'We get to decide when we play again'
Paul Myerberg, USA TODAY Sports
Texas and rival Texas A&M will play again, Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds told The Daily Texan, the university's student newspaper, but it'll be on the Longhorns' terms.
"They left," Dodds said of A&M, which left the Big 12 and joined the SEC in 2012. "They're the ones that decided not to play us. We get to decide when we play again. I think that's fair.
"If you did a survey of our fans about playing A&M, they don't want to. It's overwhelming. I know. I hear it. Our fans are important to us. I think there's got to be a period where things get different. I think there's too many hard feelings."

And as ESPN.com's David Ubben writes, the two sides have made clear where they stand in regards to a rivalry renewed. While Texas warned A&M about its move to the SEC ("Leave and this rivalry is over"), A&M has remained opened to the idea of meeting the Longhorns during non-conference play ("We'll play you anytime, you're the ones providing the rivalry's death blow and refusing to play").
Quote:
"In my e-mail to Bill Byrne, I wrote that we were not in a position now to look at future football scheduling," Dodds said. "We're scheduled out with nonconference games through 2018 and our Big 12 schedule is not yet settled. What we have right now is a full schedule but if any future options are available, the decision will not be made by just one person."
Texas A&M will start competing in the Southeastern Conference in 2012.
Even with that move, Byrne told the Houston Chronicle that Texas A&M has always been open to continuing the 117-year-old rivalry with Texas. But Byrne told the paper that door had been closed by Dodds when he told him Texas' nonconference schedule was full through 2018.
