Some real insightful analysis in here. If everything goes as badly as it could possibly go we could lose. Y'all make Desmond Howard seem like a football savant.

And all this pants-wetting about the toughest environment in the history of the world. Give me a break. As if 2011 when a much less talented Texas team beat a similarly talented A&M team when those yokels thought they were playing us for the last time ever. Their stadium gets pretty loud. Ooh, scary. 

WTF does that mean? Texas was 7-4, aggy was 6-5. Texas was ranked but an 8 point underdog. The only reason we won was due to aggy constantly turning the ball over. They had better position and stats for the whole game. And if we had our current clown kicker in 2011, that's not a walk off FG to win.

I was wrong, it's 4 upsets each over the last 15. We were ranked in 2011 but 8 point dogs to aggy.

Anybody know what our record is at night at Gomer Pyle field?  What about when both teams are ranked?  I know we have the better record in general at Gooberville.

I don’t have night games, but Texas leads 25-22-2 in College Station.

and leads 4-3 in College Station when both teams are ranked (higher ranked team has won every time except 1) when #10 Texas knocked off #2 A&M 23-0 way back in 1941, and 2) the infamous ‘99 game.

I won't speak for Huckleberry, and this surely isn't his point, but A&M does not look like a team that can score on us unless we gift them short field position, and if we do that multiple times, we deserve to lose.

It's great how they just forget the part about gross negligence being the root cause of the collapse.  But glad they can get the ol' 40' topped off with a "portable glory hole"  and paint it burnt orange.

Just saying sometimes our dudes struggle with pressure. Aggy seems like they might have some dudes in their front 7. Or not. We shall see.

How exactly is A&M going to score on us more than we score on them?  Y'all are being dramatic.

I agree. I don’t know where all this aggy defense is getting all this hype. They are second to last in sacks in the SEC. 11th in pass defense. 10th in rushing defense. 6th in scoring defense. Lots of people making them out to be the 2000 Baltimore ravens. Texas should win if they just play their game, their defense is nothing special.

Agree that I don't want to see A&M lose to Auburn. I would be laughing if they do, but Texas could use a win against a top 20 team prior to facing Bama in the SEC championship team. and if we lose to A&M, then we're not as good as we thought in the first place.

I don't EVER want to see aggy win any game, period. If we just take care of business, all the other garbage doesn't mean shit.

Texas A&M in Daily Mail today! It's the 25th anniversary of Bonfire '99 and the criminal level of incompetence.

Some of the best comments:

They didn't actually pay out that much in lawsuits in the end. There were a lot of lawsuits but most got thrown out. The real reason it won't happen again is because they would have to pay a $2-3M premium for an insurance policy each year just for the bonfire.

I read the story of one guy that was crushed. He lived for a few days, alert, knowing he was going to die.

 

Apparently 37 were injured. The stack collapsed in the early morning hours as students were on top of the pile, 4 feet higher than authorized, according to my reading.

 

5000 logs stood up right over 60 feet tall....held by chains....what could go wrong

 

I understand tradition, but this bon fire set up seemed inherently dangerous and I'm surprised they even allowed it all those years.

 

What a waste of trees

 

Twelve people die and they’re motivated to beat their rival? That sounds unbelievably crass.

 

Moronic.

Stats don't win games.  Players do.  This is what makes CFB so much better than pro.  Kyle will be fucking electric.  Take the speakers out early.  Get out in front.  That's how you win this game.  They're not even remotely a come from behind offensive team.  

Until then, KY will be a good test as well.  Stout defense on that squad.

Sometimes my objective mind convinces me it's in our best interest for A&M to win a given game, and then I start watching said game, and something goes wrong for the Aggies and I start laughing and immediately find myself rooting for their opponent and then 3 hours later the game is over and they've lost and I am supremely satisfied.

One of the best, and I think my first, incredible aggy rollercoaster derailment - which we called at the time a choke - happened in the 1963 game that solidified our #1 ranking (over #2 Navy and Roger Staubach).

On odd-number years, T-Day game was in College Station. It was chilly and wet.

We scored first, FG by Shoeless Tony Crosby, and led 3-0. aggy came back with a couple of TDs, one in 2Q and another in 3Q, missed the xp on the second one, and was up 13-3 in the 4th quarter. We scored early, went for 2, didn't get it: 13-9 aggy.

aggy had only won a couple of games all year, and they pulled out all the stops. One of their scores was a trick play, where the QB lateraled to a WR, and bounced the ball. I swear the nearest official waved incomplete, but maybe not. It worked as intended - the Texas D pulled up, and the WR threw a long pass to a wide-open ag. Damn. 

With the clock running out, Texas mounted a drive, but then... disaster! Our pass was intercepted, and aggy just needed to take a knee and run the clock for the supremely satisfying win.

That wasn't enough for the ags, though... the interceptor apparently wanted glory, a pick-6 to cap off one for the ages. He tried to run it back, but was quickly corralled. Instead of going down, though, he tried to pitch it to a teammate. The ball went flying, Texas recovered it, with a fresh set of downs because of the double change of possession.

Texas drove and Duke Carlisle punched the ball in from the goal line with a minute left. We went for 2 - again - and didn't get it - again. But 15-13 Texas.

aggy had yet another massive choke to add to their heritage, and we had a New Year's Day shot at Roger Staubach and the Midshipmen. But that's another story.
