I've really missed the Kansas-Mizzou game.
Most people outside of the TexAgs groupthink bubble who associated with either school would prefer the rivalry game to come back & be played annually. And honestly, a good amount of people on TexAgs want the game back but are too afraid to say anything because of how viciously many on here will attack them.West Point Aggie said:
Be honest...do any of you Ags (or your Ag folk) get misty-eyed come late November? I'm told by almost every article that ever comes out that ending that series was akin with fratricide. Apparently we all need to be like "woe we should be playing you know who!"
Frankly I don't even think of it...and it has been far less of an issue as it seemed back in 2011-2012...
Just curious

I get why y'all have sour feelings toward the horns, but every poll I've ever seen on social media about the return of the rivalry normally ends up with over 80% in favor of wanting to see the Turkey Day Game. A&M polled their students last spring to get their opinion on the issue. 15,060 votes were cast, 13,359 voted in favor of resuming the rivalry with t.u. That's 89% in favor of the rivalry. T.U. did a similar poll 2 years ago that resulted in well over 90% of their students voting to bring back the game.
You can dismiss the opinion of A&M students all you want, but in the end this is COLLEGE football we're talking about!! It's played by college kids who want to compete in big rivalry games. Once the generation of petty 50-60 year old Ags & Horns who are blocking this game lose their power, the game probably will return.

No one outside of SE and Central Texas gave one shot about our rivalry game.

The game most definitely should be played. The only problem with the rivalry was when UT was highly ranked Ags sucked and vice versa. Now that both teams are more or less even it would be a great service to resume the game on Thanksgiving Day.
This whole conference realignment thing started 10 years ago, meaning today's college students were ages 8 to 12, and thus could not and still do not have a full grasp of why things went down the way they did, and why these things remain the same.#Mke said:

Why does anyone want this game back? Seriously. Because we played them for scores of years in the past? Is that it? What do we get from playing that game that we don't get from any other game?#Mke said:Most people outside of the TexAgs groupthink bubble who associated with either school would prefer the rivalry game to come back & be played annually.

Please explain to me the significance of the A&M vs. t.u. game compared to A&M vs. Arkansas.#Mke said:

Good gawd that was a trash column! Florida vs. Miami needs to return? Miami vs. Florida State was huge in the 80's and 90's. Florida vs. Miami was ok, but not nearly the same. Hell, Miami had a much hotter rivalry with Notre Dame, ffs!West Point Aggie said:

I never did much bragging anyway. I live in ATX and have lots of sip friends and coworkers so it was always better to set the example. Not that it worked, but still.West Point Aggie said:TPS_Report said:#Mke said:West Point Agg said:

And yet, somehow, college football has marched on.
I couldn't disagree more with your first take. Longhorns were quite adamant that OU was their real rival and the A&M game wasn't that big of a deal.
I never want to play them again, and I don't know anyone that graduated in the late 90's/early aughts that does. I'm sure there are some that do, I just don't know them.
