"I've seen the Texas A&M-Texas rivalry first-hand, so I know how important this game is to our players, coaches and fans," new Texas A&M head coach Buzz Williams said in a statement.
So ridiculous and petty of them.Junkhead said:
Cry baby sips had to have a neutral site game because we couldn't get the first home game. God, they are insufferable.
I'm not sure it's likely that texas is in Dallas for the B12 championship game...Quote:
Well guess what, you'll most likely have all of them in DFW that weekend for the Big 12 Championship game.

Exactly. If the first home game isn't a "thing" for Texas A&M, then let it be played in Austin. Don't cut the nose off to spite the face.expresswrittenconsent said:If it's only their fault and not both sides being *****es, then why arent we playing in Austin next year?Junkhead said:

This should be on the campuses, just like baseball. Neither fan base melted when their baseball team lost to the old rivals.

So not home and home but at a neutral site that Texas expects to have a ton of fans at due to the Big 12 championship. Did we get duped? This game could have been any day during the non-conference months and it just happens to be this one.
Because their new arena opens in 2020 and they want to play the game there.TXAggie2011 said:Exactly. If the first home game isn't a "thing" for Texas A&M, then let it be played in Austin.

Of course, the powers that be at Texas A&M are just as capable of being little *****es as anyone else.
Exactly. Wouldn't it be better for us to play there in the last year of their crappy, oversized arena??Junkhead said:Because their new arena opens in 2020 and they want to play the game there.TXAggie2011 said:Exactly.

Let me guess, the refs doing the Big12 playoffs will also do our game?miller0926 said:Gap said:

We did. And we HAVE to play a road or neutral game the next weekend because of graduations at Reed.
You should read this site called TexAgs. They have all kinds of information on there.TXAggie2011 said:
Everything I've ever read states the new arena will open in 2021, not 2020. Maybe I missed something new.

The original idea was a home-and-home contract with the Aggies hosting the 2019 game at Reed Arena followed by a 2020 game in Austin to open the Longhorns' new facility. However, decision-makers in Austin didn't want A&M to get the first home game, and that proposal wasn't approved.
