Miami Cotton Bowl was a bunch of grown ass men playing against boys.  That game was over on the opening kick off.

I was at this very cold and terrible game. The game was over before the game started. Miami started a fight in the famous OU-Texas tunnel before the teams came on the field. Instead of letting the Texas players go at it with Miami and show they weren't going to be intimidated, the Texas coaching staff pulled the Texas players away from the fracas. 

This let Miami know they could intimidate Texas, and they did. Miami had many personal foul penalties throughout the game, and they did it for that reason. Texas should have responded in kind. The only way to treat a bully is in a like manner. Texas didn't do that and got run over. 

This is a prime reason that Texas got the "soft" label put on them. Texas was never going to be a real success in football till they became just as physical as anybody. When Miami teams back then tried that stuff against Notre Dame and Penn. ST. they didn't fare as well.

"After a year that saw a meteoric return to form for the Aggies football team, Texas A&M is moving on from a longstanding program tradition due to safety concerns."

While I agree that 8-4 is their form, meteoric is an interesting way to describe improving from 7-5 to 8-4.

I don't know, they resembled a meteor over their last 3 conference games the way they completely flamed out.

Jesus Christ! Would you people please stfu about the Miami Cotton Bowl! This thread is for making fun of the gomers, not slamming our own fingers in a door by reliving that frozen hellscape nightmare from three decades ago.

It was 38 degrees at kickoff, wind out of the n/nw at 5mph but I recall it being a lot more windy.  Of course that could have just been the Cotton Bowl architecture.

If you don't learn from the past, you will be doomed to repeat it. The Gomers do this over and over, which is entertaining.

By the way, it got much colder as the day progressed at that game. When we were leaving Dallas and headed back to Austin, it started sleeting.

Does Georgia even exist in their world?  it's absurd they've dodged them so often.

Oh, and Pat, we have a month without a home game, too, so shut the fuck up. 

Haven't we played UGA as many times since we have been in the secsecsec as aTm had since they have been in the secsecsec?

Aggy on Reddit claiming their first year in the SEC was better: 
“Don't ever call t.u texas they are t.u. The Aggies played in what we called a tough SEC West. Every week was tough from top to bottom. t.u had played a bottom of the barrel SEC and a weak non conference schedule. If t.u played Bama, Auburn, Ole Miss, Miss State, LSU, Woo Pig and us with a cross rival in UGA I bet they wouldn't make it to the SEC Championship.”

Hope the Aggys at least got to have their logo in the printed program for the conference championship game. Probably in an ad that promoted the conference where they needed filler.

Graham ranks how difficult each SEC team's schedule is for 2025, predictably ranks Texas as one of the easiest:

Ranking SEC schedule difficulty: 13 - Texas

The road games against Ohio State to open the year and at Georgia in mid-November, as well as the visit from the Aggies in the final week of the season, are doing yeoman's work to hold up another dreadfully low-quality slate for the Longhorns. The next-toughest game is a trip to the Swamp in week 5— and who knows what the Gators will look like at that point?

The Longhorns will play yet another sub-FCS-difficulty non-conference slate apart from the trip to the Horseshoe, hosting San Jose State, UTEP, and Sam Houston State. While they do have a back-to-back road conference game spate, it comes against possibly the easiest two opponents you could find in the SEC: Kentucky and Mississippi State.

All the complaints about this 2025 schedule are the same now as they were for this year, given that it's the same conference opponents. It's still not a real "welcome to the SEC" slate like the Sooners have had, but you have to give kudos for the trip to Columbus, if nothing else.

Quote

Ranking SEC schedule difficulty: 8 - Texas A&M

Despite the three straight road games, the Aggies still are just barely in the top half of the conference when it comes to schedule difficulty. Now, some of that has to do with the absolute horror shows that several of these teams ahead of the Aggies have to deal with, but it's still not a terrible slate for the Ags.

That back-to-back against Arkansas and LSU on the road seems to be setting the Aggies up for yet another loss in Death Valley, where they haven't won since joining the conference. But if they manage to eke out a win against Notre Dame in South Bend, they can easily start 6-0.

The back half, playing four out of six on the road, is where things are tougher. But especially if the Aggies can upgrade at wide receiver, they should be in contention for double-digit wins in 2025 with this slate.

Ah yes, stupid sips and their cupcake OOC schedule* (*besides that Horseshoe team that's consistently in the top 10)!  Meanwhile, let's not mention aggy playing UTSA, Utah State and Samford, or dodging both Bama and Georgia again.

Avg SOS rank for 2012-2023:

Texas 17.5
A&M 25.8

Next question.

The blonde isn't too shabby, but I have a soft spot for thick Katy Czech girls.  The denim outfit is ok, except for that awful denim outfit.

Know what Longhorns and aggy all have in common?

They both applied to Texas.

In all my years, even at school, I've only been to Pyle Field one time. Ever. I refuse to ever go back. Those people are freaks and weird af. The rest of the time in school j just watched the game when j went home for Thanksgiving. I'm so, so glad I got accepted to UT. God forbid I got rejected and have to hang my head in shame and mingle with my aggy family. *shudder*

That's the exact game I went to lol. And yeah, that place felt like it was about to collapse. I did not feel safe, around the people near us (even though we had a bunch of UT guys/girls around us), but still, and then the stadium felt like it was swaying. I thought "here I die. At this shitty place. Because of course that's what the universe wants for me."

I went the bonfire collapse year. A childhood buddy of mine was an architecture 2%er student and invited me. I was the only burnt orange in a large part of the student section. I was respectful in light of recent events. I got a lot of shit and just took it with a wan smile. Never going back there.

So just to be clear, “Aggie fans should be absolutely steamed with the way the SEC built this schedule for A&M,” even though it’s only the 8th toughest schedule in the conference?

I was at UT in the mid 80s and have lived in Austin ever since.  I not only haven't ever been to Kyle Field, I made a point of it to never even go to or drive through B/CS.  That is until my son had a HS soccer tournament there.  That was unfortunate.  Then, I had to go back to get my first (very early) covid shot because getting one in the Austin area was a near impossibility.

I feel I'm done with that place.  What a shithole.

TAMU in a nutshell. 

 

Can we just rename this the aggy dffect for clarity.    And I have asked someone if they were using the Dunning-Kruger methodology before after receiving their brilliant insight.

"The Dunning–Kruger effect is defined as the tendency of people with low ability in a specific area to give overly positive assessments of this ability.[2][3][4] This is often seen as a cognitive bias, i.e. as a systematic tendency to engage in erroneous forms of thinking and judging.[5][6][7] In the case of the Dunning–Kruger effect, this applies mainly to people with low skill in a specific area trying to evaluate their competence within this area. The systematic error concerns their tendency to greatly overestimate their competence, i.e. to see themselves as more skilled than they are."
