Texas and A&M Presidents support renewing the rivalry

[Drew 2331]

Aggy thinks they're about to be good...why would they even chance scheduling another loss on their schedule?  They're just getting done with Clemson and have to play GA now.

That line was what they would have used if the won.  But they didnt, so they didnt want to be there and were unmotivated.

I want to see the game. 

You clearly have aggy relatives. People with aggy relatives are the ones who always reminisce about the game and want to resume playing it. 

I remember how they repaid our kindness in 1999 after they killed 12 of their own. I remember what they did before and after they left the Big 12 to undermine the conference and try to harm Texas. Fuck them.

Assholes there didn’t have a clue.

Do any of you miss this game?  Since I really got into Texas football in about '89, the aggy game was one of the highlights of the season for me in '90 (28-27), '95 (16-6), and 27-25.  Every other year of that span, we were either really good and beating them as we should or they were winning against one of our worse teams.  In the era of the Big 12, the game seemed like it never had any stakes for a conference title let alone national title.  I'd rather we kept that open to play lesser P5 teams to go along with the marquis non conference games.  A bowl game would be cool.  

[Guest]

I don’t miss playing them. 

I hate the motherfuckers and am glad they left.  They did everyone a favor. I hate their idiotic whooping, dog worshipping, and false sense of fan superiority when they lie,steal, and cheat at basicly every chance they get while reminding you of their beloved worthless code.

Roughly half of my in-laws are aggy, and nope, I still don’t want to play A&M.  

[Wally Pryor 5245]

“It’s not if, but when,” Del Conte said. “Playing A&M is great for the state. Rival games are important for college football. Notre Dame should play USC. Georgia should play Georgia Tech. Alabama should play Auburn. Pittsburgh should play West Virginia.”

Beating them 4 out of 5 years wouldn’t even provide the satisfaction needed to comfort the 1 loss because they never remember their losses long enough to stop with their delusions of grandeur.

I have an aggy friend who responded to my joking that a surprisingly easy win they had indicated that they were either that good or that the opponent was that bad. Of course, his response was, “We’re that good.” This was on the heels of numerous disappointing seasons. Typical aggy lack of self-awareness was alive and well.

We’re barely over .500 against OU in my lifetime, and all I want is to die at .501. Being 1.000 against aggy won’t shut them up, so what’s the point?

We DID beat them 4 out of 5 when aggy wasn't cheating so blatantly that they used Fedex as their bagman.

I don't understand the folks longing for that cold sore back after it cleared up on its own.

We weren't going to end the rivalry over 1999, but there was definite relief when it ended on its own. They should commemorate their fucking asshole behavior from that year right along w/making martyrs out of the 12 kids their dumbass culture killed.

[Valmy77 13125]

1999 was when I personally checked out of the rivalry, that is for sure. I found it upsetting how a faction of their fanbase made the tragic deaths of those kids all about themselves and their desire to win football games. I was also a bit annoyed how some of our fans were being dicks (though I was proud that UT as an institution reacted as well as one could under the circumstances). That game should never have been played. The whole thing was a very unpleasant and painful experience.

What sickened me then and sickens me now is, they treated the whole thing like it was a game. Like it was a movie. Like of course the movie ends with the Good Guys beating the Bad Guys in the Big Game. You had the John Lopezes of the world treating it like it was "poetic" that A&M won the game, and in comeback fashion!!!! showing that Aggies are never licked! That it was some kind of testament to the Aggie Spirit that they were able to overcome the tragedy they'd self-imposed and only had to overcome because they were too myopic to cancel the game.

If you have a neighbor who's always playing with guns but leaves them loaded and with the safety off, and the stupid sonofabitch shoots a hole in his foot, I think you'd probably tell him "hey, let's skip the Fun Run this weekend and get you to a hospital, and maybe the guns need to be kept unloaded and safety locked just in case." No, instead we had to listen to the media tell us IT IS INCREDIBLY COURAGEOUS THE WAY HE'S COMPETING IN THIS FUN RUN DESPITE THE HARDSHIP HE'S SUFFERED. And worse yet, we got dysentery and the motherfucker beat us in the race.

I do.  Losing to them was the worst, winning was awesome.  That's what sports should be about.  It should cost something.  Ecstasy and agony and all that.  CDC is right, rivalries are good for the sport.

That said, it's not going to happen because the cowards won't give up one of their 3 annual games against high school teams to keep them bowl eligible.  They'd rather yip like a little dog behind a closed door without fear of it opening up.

Aggy pres may want to talk to his AD. There was an offer to play on the table pretty recently. It was a mistake to offer, except for the fact that it helped expose them as lying cowards.

We need to wait another 10-15 years.  The 60s aggys will be too old and the students under 40 will have no history of aggy nonsense regarding Texas.

Not exactly.  Texas Tech won more games while both were in the Big 12.  They won 10 more over the last 10 years and 5 more overall.

They are insufferable 48 weeks a year.  They run and hide the month after the game, but then they come back.

It's never been a rivalry in any real sense.  We hated them because they were weird and cult-like, not because of anything they'd accomplished in football terms.  For us the game was just another weekend with the chance to laugh at backwoods idiots.  For them it was their Superbowl, jihad and Pride Week parade all rolled up into one.  Their jizz jar filling and human sacrifice rituals culminated in an orgy of hate and envy.  Of course for them the outcome was usually a denied orgasm that built up their humiliation and frustration to even great heights.

Playing them now does nothing for us.  We are already scheduling better teams from their new conference and elsewhere.  The future non-conference schedule already is loaded with a who's who of elite programs. Let aggy grind their teeth and choke on the bitter dust of their dreams - just as they have for generations.  Actions have consequences.  Let them contemplate that reality without any outlet for the tradition of burning envy for the dominant school in the great State of Texas.

It probably was in the 50s and before.

Who exactly are you arguing with?  Speaking for myself, I feel STRONGLY that we should not play those idiots anytime soon.  I haven't seen many rational, objective reasons to play them.  Most of them boil down to "I want to see the game" or "I want to shut them up" - neither of which addresses the long-term interests of The University and the football program. 

We already played mid-tier P5 teams and aren't being rewarded for it so we are moving away from that model.  Other than Arkansas in the delayed return game, there are zero such teams on the schedule for the future so no room for aggy.  It's going to be 2 G5s and a marquee match up: LSU, Bama, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio St as far as the eye can see.  Again, no room for aggy.  A game with them holds no upside for Texas, which is why we are not scheduling aggy or Maryland level programs now.  Then you add on the hate, penis envy and weirdness and it becomes even less appealing from a cost-benefit perspective.

Beat me to it.

Beating OU is like having a fine steak dinner with all the trimmings and the best wine.

Beating aggy is like having a Girl Scout cookie. Yeah, you like it, but it’s nothing to write home about. 

Losing to OU is like being told the aforementioned steak dinner is canceled and you’re getting a Little Caesar’s pizza instead.

Losing to aggy is like being told “no Girl Scout cookies, you’re getting the bubonic plague instead.”

That clear enough?
