Fun facts

Texas A&M vs. Texas (Lone Star Showdown)

• Viewership: Averaged 13.04 million viewers (peaking at 14.3 million) on November 28, 2025.
• Details: Played in Austin and broadcasted as the most-watched regular-season weekday college football game on record.

14 million saw TEXAS beat A&M again.

---------------------

The 2026 Cheez-It Citrus Bowl finished as the highest-rated non-CFP bowl game of the 20252026 postseason, peaking with a viewership of 15 million.

That's how many folks saw Texas beating down Michigan. They love to watch Arch Manning.

-----------------------

Texas A&M vs. Miami (CFP First Round)

• Viewership: Averaged 14.8 million viewers (peaking at 19.3 million) on December 20, 2025.
• Details: Played during the first round of the expanded College Football Playoff and ranked as the second-most-watched first-round playoff game

Another 15-20 million watched Marcel Reed get sacked 7 times and throw 2 pics. and zero Aggie TDs.
Ag offense humiliated.

-------------

Just prior to these games TX A%M destroyed the Samford Cupcake Bulldogs 48-0 (viewership numbers unknown) in AggieLand, and were on top of the world. Goes to show you how quickly things can fall apart.

Question of the day. When it comes to CHAMPIONSHIPS and hardware, does Texas A^M have more in common with Michigan, Miami and TEXAS, or, with Samford?

---

A&M's offense was better than Miami's in that game. One busted play led to the lone TD.

You're making this incredibly easy. Nobody cares about a head to head matchup between two teams when one team went to the playoff and the other went to the NIT equivalent.

You make great points, Jack, but

you gotta admit the Aggies are post season duds. chronic losers playing any post season games, title games, playoffs. bowls.

A&M can't seem to score enough points to win big games and win titles and trophies.
Mental errors. year after year. problems between your ears. weakness under pressure.

Amazing resources, but you have more in common, trophycase-wise, with Samford than you do with Miami, Michigan, TEXAS.

the record books would have Aggies and Samford on lower tiers.

Nobody disagrees that we seem to have trouble getting over the hump in the postseason when it really counts. Your comparison is also ridiculous because A&M has a championship; Samford doesn't and never will. Miami almost shut down their program before they ever won 1. Now they have 4.

It's probably not a smart bet to bet against a program with the resources we have, which are as much as anyone in the country now. In this landscape, that's matters. You're pointing to a bygone era. I don't really care about what happened in the past because it has no bearing on the present or future. You shouldn't either. Nobody cares what happened in 2005. It's over, pal.

I said: I like it when our two teams show up to play a football game and we kick your ass.

but in this thread you crowned yourself the king of having the most and doing the least with it. And it wasn't my idea. a mental error on your part.

Your incoherent verbal meandering reaks of old age and having way too few brain cells left. We have the resources and just made the playoff. You have similar resources and made the Queso Bowl.

JB, I know it must suck to lose at the end of the regular season as usual, then promptly lose in the post season as usual.
The actual football games, I mean. and many millions of viewers know you're overrated. It's obvious.

Call it the yips or failure to launch, unable to get over the humps, mental issues, whatever...
but you really really want to be respected. but there's nothing tangible to respect.... and then comes the cognitive dissonance ... and more mental errors..

You're such an insecure, weird individual.

We made the playoff. You didn't because you lost 3 games…and should have lost 5. Your best win was playing spoiler against a rival you're obsessed with…and it didn't spoil anything.

Yips?

Your team was the preseason #1. Your quarterback was the favorite to win the Heisman. His early season yips ruined both of those chances.

Your team underperformed badly.

Choose your words more carefully.

I like it when our two teams show up to play a football game and we kick your ass.
"Scoreboard" is the word of choice.
Manning improved over the season and we finished strong. This season he's a redshirt junior.

Do you put any stock in trends? After you play and win your sec-sec midseason cupcake, you lose out. You beat your weakass non-con, and y'all are done. You quit, mentally. ever notice this obvious Aggie trend?

Ever learned how to speak English? Good Lord you're challenged. We were 11-0…there was no mid-season anything. Arch sucks. He wasn't good against us. 14/29 isn't "good." A 3 point game with 7 minutes left isn't an ass kicking. Congrats on the upset…it elevated your bowl slotting big time.

Thanks for the congrats. last season after beating Samford, you lost out, to Texas and Miami.
In 2024 after beating Mexico St you lost out to Auburn, Texas and USC. In 2023 after beating Abilene Christian you lost out to LSU and in the Texas Bowl Okie State whipped you. You lost agin.
your showing last season in your 1st playoff game was a foregone conclusion. It isn't worth glorifying.
but here you are.

...Everyone is gathered around the tree or turkey. The family. uncle higg killed a feral hog. the roast beast, the xmas lights, Thanksgiving, new years. the big TV is on, the actual football game is on. And once again the Aggies lose. then lose again. The Aggie holidays are ruined. ..again.

mental problems. you know what I mean?

Yes, I know what you mean. There's a diagnosis for it. You should look into it.

It's incredible how oblivious you are to how ridiculous you look trying to talk smack about a team that was clearly better than yours.

People come to love their own special pain. It hurts, but it's your hurt. It's special.
It can be called mental masochism it's your special Aggie hurt. Collectively there's something called, trauma-bonding. That's the family vibe you associate with the holiday season.

the mental issues compound...
