I always liked the Ut-aggy game. It was usually great football. I looked forward to it like Ou-NEB, Mich-Ohio State, and other rivalries at the end of the season. 

 

Aggy left. Fuck em. 

Glad to hear it. I enjoyed watching Tech play A&M as well.

Doesn't seem that out there to me. Both schools are arms of the state. The annual game was a significant and longstanding piece of Texas' culture, thoroughly enjoyed and anticipated by many citizens of our state. For many people, watching or going to that game is central in their memories of spending Thanksgiving with loved ones. Putting on that game was a benefit these two public universities bestowed on the state for a hundred years, and they stopped doing it over some bruised egos and a few million bucks. I really don't see why it's outrageous at all for the legislature to step in and tell both schools to get over themselves and make with the football already.

The Surly and TexAgs contingents are always against it, but ordinary fans and Texans in general liked the game, they're annoyed it went away and they'd like it to come back. Most people don't give a shit about which side started this slap fight, or whether one team "deserves" to play the other, or who's scared to play or any of that. 

You are a long-standing member of this community and your opinion commands respect.  That said, your reasonable, calm, and well-worded approach has no place in the reactionary hyperbolic environment we live in today in the post-fact era.

First, this is totally out there.  As in, this guy, is a fag.  There is technically only one entity here that is an arm of the state.  The University.  The other institution in question remains a subsidiary of The University as per the Constitution of the State of Texas.   The game in question may have been played for more than 100 years, however the vast majority of your fellow alumni hated the game, detest the other institution, and hope their 100-year decision lasts for One Thousand Years.  Quite frankly, never having to set foot again in that municipality, much less that stadium, is a gift that not even God himself could have bestowed upon our fellow alumni, fans and families.  And this opinion is held by the only people that matter: alumni, staff, friends and family of The University of Texas at Austin.  Any other citizen of the State of Texas who wishes to advocate for the forced renewal of this albatross of a game can, simply, pound sand.  They have no say.  Their opinion matters not.

Most importantly, the game did not cease to be played over "bruised egos and a few million bucks".

The game stopped because the other institution ran away.

Anyone who "doesn't give a shit about which side started this slap fight" needs to understand that there is no slap fight.  There is no them.  There is only us.   And the only opinion that matters is ours..

The other institution will be entitled to an opinion when they endorse and see through the legislature a full divorce of the two entities via an Amendment to the Constitution of the State of Texas, which shall also eliminate forever their annual claim to 33% of the Available University Fund.

In other words, when we get to keep all of our money, anyone else can have a say.  And an opinion.  Which will remain of no value.

Do you seriously have the slightest doubt that the game would instantly sell out and become a really hot ticket on the secondary market if they scheduled it? Or that it would do big TV numbers? People want to see it. They want to see it quite a bit more than they want to see most of the games played by either of these teams.

Get back to me when the SEC goes to a 9-game conference slate, bans scheduling FCS opponents, and only plays non-con P5 opponents home & home.

FSU did this to UF decades ago, legislation never passed but was threatened enough to get them on the schedule.
I get the reasons why and agree with it but it was a fun game to watch on rivalry weekend.

Nobody cared about this game outside the two schools, and aggy became completely unhinged. They tried to destroy us on the way out, and they were told we wouldn’t play them if we left.

Wasn’t worth it anymore. Let them live with their choice. 

Everyone rails on Tex Pete.  Hell, Tex Pete rails on me.

As a fellow Tech fan growing up, that's how I felt too and always rooted against aggy in the game. The excitement of rivalry games is what separates the collegiate level from the pros, but they went and aggy'd that up too.

Until they abandoned the state, I would actually pull for them against most out-of-state teams. Now, fuck them forever and ever. 

[GotThatFire 166]

 Y’all motherfuckers act like you don’t know aggy at all. Just think. This is an aggy. 

 He knows the bill isn’t going anywhere. He’s only doing this to make it seem like we don’t want to play them. It’s actually their best move given that CDC tried to schedule games with them and they declined. 

 This is their plan and it will be for 100 years. Run away from Texas then act like Texas is scared play you.

I don’t care for your faggotry but I would like to play them because aggy has always been aggy and we generally tend to win. Fuck those hosers; well win more often as not. As ever.

[gmr548 16533]

I wouldn't mind playing again but it wouldn't bother me at all if we never played again in my lifetime. What does bother me is that some state legislator thinks this is a good use of his time.

They need to wait until all the genXers die and then they can schedule it on the reg if they want but by then, nobody will remember nor care.

Aggy?  Never heard of her

[ckhorn 208]

This is a moot point. They actually can't play us. We are a P-5 team. Its against SEC rules.

 

[mr.goodkat 464]

hate atm and fuck  em for leaving but kansas on thanksgiving fucking sucks

Why would A&M want to trade a game against Sam Houston or UAB to play a team like Texas every year? That would guarantee they will never win a championship.

The bill is stupid.

That said, I wish we still played the game every year. A bunch of adults on both sides are acting like whiny children about the whole thing. 

I watch college football for fun. For entertainment. This game would easily make the season more entertaining.

But too many dickheads on both sides will keep it from happening any time soon.

Yeah, it's only whiny children and dickheads who would rather play this non-conference slate instead of locking in Texas A&M and the attitude that comes with that game:

2019-20 - LSU
2022-23 - Alabama
2024,28 - Michigan
2026-27 - Ohio State
2028-29 - Georgia

More like it's only still being talked about because a bunch of supposed adults are brain-dead morons.

This bill was filed by Lyle Larsen. Both he and his father graduated Aggy. His Brother Mark, played for UT under Darryl Royal. 

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Sorry but the Big 12 doesn’t play non conference games that late in the season. Goodbye

[El Squared 1793]

“ Servant does the people” Larsen will likely file another bill requiring the same officiating crew that steered the LSU game to have a lifetime appointment to service all aggy games.

Say what you will, but the game crossed a line in 1999. It went from rivalry fun to something else. 

A bunch of aggy students died because of neglect and incompetence and we were put in a no-win situation. Our administration tried to show that we were human and did everything we could to show how much we cared. In doing so, our team was neutered. We couldn’t say “yeah, let’s give blood and take care of our Texas brothers, but fuck ‘em up on Friday!” Mack essentially forfeited that game early in the week. 

How were we rewarded? With nasty signs along the road leading into CS. With phone calls to our players’ rooms all night long despite the request that no calls be put through. With a hotel staff that refused to show up to cook our team’s contractual breakfast. With rude yelling during our band’s moment of silence for the students who were negligently killed. 

Our humanity was rewarded with a finger in the eye. They showed themselves to be the classless trash they are. 

Things only devolved from there to the backstabbing and lies that culminated in them attempting to destroy our conference as they ran away from it...making sure that they bailed in a year which would leave them with the last home game in the series. 

I could say a lot more, but in short: fuck aggy!

This times infinity.  I remember the events, I was at the game, and what I saw and heard through the whole week, during the game, and after was just as you said.  It was at that moment they showed themselves as a true brainwashed antisocial cult.  Then a decade later they not only bail but try to fuck us over and damage our reputation if possible.  Then they can't  understand why we want nothing to do with them ever again..  Fuck them and fuck ever playing them.

To my knowledge, we have never done anything remotely approaching what happened that week or what they did in the lead up to and aftermath of them leaving the conference. Remember, they lied about how long they had been having discussions with the sec by a year or more.

Also, don’t forget that piece of shit Michael Bennett trying to seriously injure Colt and the ensuing “Cart McCry” bullshit. They are the worst fanbase in this state by far.

The misinformation and propoganda campaign aggy put out there to excuse their departure and try to simultaneously take us down was something that would have made Joseph Goebbels proud. Between lies about comference networks, the LHN, unequal revenue sharing, and more it was such a massive media blitz that to this day most fans and media alike believe we nearly broke up the league and drove out aggy.  Never mind that if they weren't all to lazy to look at the facts and actual timelines they would figure out the aggys were just self serving lying sacks of shit.

Even though we haven’t played them in over 7 years in football they still obsess over our school. Last I checked, their fight song still has “saw varsity’s horns off” multiple times. I watched some aggy volleyball on tv last week and the camera panned to some aggy students doing the horns down....they were playing LSU or some shit. It’s obvious aggy  NEEDS the rivalry back and everyone knows it. For the few Texas fans who would like to see us play A&M again just take solice in the fact not playing aggy each year hurts them more as a culture/fan base than us reviving the rivalry and even BEATING them every year. I mean shit, we won more than 2/3rds of our games all-time against aggy, what would playing and beating them again do? Why do them any favors when they ran with their tails between their legs to the SEC? That’s their problem. If the rivalry meant so much to them, they should have stayed in the Big 12. They didn’t. Bye 👋

There is only one flagship university in Texas and its not yours, aggy.

Actually aggy is part of THE flagship university of Texas. A small insignignat part.

I would ask why Aggie wants this game, but doesnt want this game. But I've spent too much time trying to figure out my last wife. I'm tired and dont care.

UC Davis and NMSU dont want to play us and neither does aggy.

I don’t care for your faggotry but I would like to play them because aggy has always been aggy and we generally tend to win. Fuck those hosers; well win more often as not. As ever.

By your logic any whipping boy would do. So obviously you want to play aggy because you have a perverse interest in mass nocturnal chanting at the direction of white garbed subhumans making onanistic movements in the presence of norwegian blued canines.

Kinky.

Ps you seem stupid.

 aggy got what they wanted and will never stop crowing about it.  Let them join a conference with Nebraska, Arkansas, Missouri, Colorado, and any other school that was tired of us kicking their asses.  Then may they spend eternity sucking one another off and bragging about how sweet it is.  I hope I won't live long enough to see us play those  pieces of shit ever again.
