It's just like the Texas rivalry. You believe you are their biggest football rival, and they believe you're not.
Actually, no.
Read the thread title VERY carefully.

in its first year, bama v A&M is already a bigger rivalry than ou v tu
Saying "the 'Bama/A&M rivalry is bigger than the OU/t.u. rivalry" is very different from saying, "We are Bama's biggest rival."
Here are the facts.
On the appointed day at the State Fair, 2/3 of the time, Stoops will beat Mack to a bloody pulp. I do not expect this year to be any different. There is no national championship implication within 1000 miles of that game.
Nobody will be watching, because they'll be focused on LSU/Florida. There are national championship implications in that game.
On our game day vs. Alabama, everyone will be watching, because there are national championship implications, and because there is shared history, and because,
most important of all, there is a vendetta.
America will watch A&M play 'Bama, just like it did last year.
And just like last year, 'sips won't even watch Stoops cock-slap Mack.
