I couldn't disagree more.
OU and Texas are peer programs. A&M has done nothing that has mattered in college football in any of our lifetimes.
If at the start of any season, you were to tell me we could have a victory over only 1 of the 2, I would take the victory over OU.
As is your right...but you can't visit any horn or aggie board without threads talking about how we don't care if we ever play again. Total bs. That rivalry means a hell of a lot to a lot of people on both sides.

Sorry. Another OU interloper here.
But my family has a house in Austin and have a well known business there. So pretty familiar with Texas.
Texas-Texas A&M is your typical Ag-Flag rivalry with a bit of Texas style hubris thrown on top. It hurts a Texans over the top pride to lose that game. Aggie pride in being a hard working salt of the earth Texan. And Longhorn pride in being the "anointed" selected by the almightyTexans.
Texas vs. OU is more of a state vs. state rivalry more than anything. And to some degree a cultural thing. Texans think they are better than Okies by virtue of being Texans. They see us as vermin infesting their state. Like a plague of locusts with missing teeth.
Obviously Okies see it differently. But you didn't ask that question.
Nothing is more shameful to a Texan than to get one upped by a non Texan... Especially an Okie.
