Greg McElroy addressed an ongoing issue related to Texas’ move to the SEC: Where will the first game be played when the Longhorns meet the Aggies as SEC members?

But the ESPN analyst couldn’t figure why the Aggies are digging in about having the first game at Kyle Field. And he pointed out that the previous meeting in 2011 was at Kyle Field.

quote:

“So doesn’t that mean that the next iteration of Texas against Texas A&M should be played in Austin? That’s the way I see it,” McElroy said. “At the same time, ‘Well, you just brought in our big rival to the conference so you should get us a make good, and you should play the game in our backyard.’ I don’t agree with that.”

quote:

“Stop playing this inferiority complex,” he said. “Stop. Here’s what I would say if I were Texas A&M: I would say anytime, any place, anywhere we’ll play the Longhorns, we’re just glad to have the rivalry back. And we’ll stomp on them when we get our opportunity.”

That's like asking water to run up hill.

Gotcha. I actually saw his rant and was surprised how emotionally he was about it. Like, it’s not even a big deal for us fans where the game would be. That’s just a pissing contest our schools get in for fun, to banter.

It’s hard to expect someone to just stop doing something they’ve been doing their entire life…

Aggy is simply addicted to being a Little Brother.

It genuinely is odd to me that A&M is demanding the game be played at Kyle Field. I don’t like either program, but I hope Texas runs the score up on Aggie if they get their way and the game is indeed at Kyle Field

Y’all are a weird bunch

Went to a wedding in Dallas with a bunch of Ags and Horns. People were hissing at each other and doing weird dances and chants

Y’all just kiss and play football

McElroy grew up a horn fan. He's one of their kind.

Personally, I don't think it's a big deal where we play first. I just think that the rest of the conference is going to be sorry that they didn't listen to us about inviting a cancer into the conference. Time will tell.

I understand why they'd want it at Kyle Field. After all, they're the current conference members. Shouldn't they get a little preference over the new members while it still exists?

I don’t disagree with you — I think it’s just gotten irritating over the past few years bc every time it gets brought up, then they have to remind everyone of their wants/needs. It’s almost as if they are publicly begging and won’t let up. And not to beat a dead horse, but it is 100% younger sibling behavior

If tonight, the conference gives LSU Ole Miss at home, you won’t complain.

Nonsense statements like this prove McElroy's point.

I hope they play it @ Kyle, anytime anywhere.

Texas has a winning record @ Kyle Field for the record.

This should be a UF/UGA type deal played at JerryWorld.
