While I do agree with the whole "Let them burn in the dumpster fire they're in" stance on this subject, I cannot stand by and say that there isn't a very large part of me that wants this game back. I honestly don't know why so many people don't want to play the game. Sure, there may be some times we lose, that happens, it's football, get over it. One loss to a team in the nearly FCS level Big 12 will not drop an atomic bomb on our recruiting, it won't send A&M into a downward spiral that ends with us being perpetually stuck in the Fran days, it just wont. I am tired of hearing this BS from people saying "I'm over them". Every true Aggie knows deep in their gut that this game is more than just a game. Personally, I can't call any of the teams we play in the SEC our "rivals". Maybe LSU, maybe Arky, but there isn't one game that I look forward to every year, there isn't a game we play now that brings so much emotion with it that both fan bases crave to have in a rivalry game. A&M and t.u. brings that emotion from both sides. I grew up my entire life waiting every year to BTHOtu, and I'll be damned if I don't get to experience it ever again. Hell, even our Governor wants it back. Bring back the damn game.
