So winning the Cotton Bowl against OU should be important to A&M? Damn, I better get a message to Coach Sumlin to make sure he doesn't blow it off! 
A&M should win the game but honestly OU is the worst matchup we could have out of the Big 12. They have decent talent, good coaching, and run a Spread offense that attacks a secondary which is our weakness. If anything though our reasons for needing to win this game aren't about trying to prove ourselves to the other SEC schools. I think we could win the next 5 SEC Championships and people would still start "Big 6" threads and scream how no Aggies are allowed. That's cool, we know what matters is what happens on the field.
No, the real reason A&M needs to win this is for recruiting. A&M has OU and Texas both on the ropes big time in recruiting in Texas. For instance today the arguably #1 defensive player in Texas Justin Manning who is an OU legacy is announcing his commitment and it looks like A&M is going to beat out OU. A win or loss in the Cotton could change that one way or another. Certainly just about every recruit we are looking at for the next few years will be watching that game closely. This of course doesn't even count the ridiculous amounts of hell A&M fans will catch in Texas if we lose from every Big 12 school fan. We certainly could overcome a loss but it would hurt and hurt badly.
If A&M wins this game as we should though it will be an absolute stake through the heart of OU and to a lesser extent Texas. If A&M can beat the Big 12 Champs who destroyed Texas they literally will have nothing to fall back on and might as well just accept that we leave enough scraps on the table in recruiting for them to field an occasional Top 25 Team.
Sorry we don't have time to give a shite about your opinion.

If the Big 12 is as bad and irrelvant as you all have claimed for the past year, than it should be a cakewalk to beat the 2nd place team in the league.
It is as bad as we say and we're going to face rape OU. BTW: They are co-champs of that POS league and we are favored. We'd also be favored against K-State and any other team in the Big Turd. Now that's funny!

bullshite.
This was supposed to be a down year. We lost our starting QB to the NFL and replaced him with a freshman. We have a first year head coach, a new offense, and switched from the 3-4 to the 4-3 on defense. None of us expected to be much better than .500. We've already over-achieved.
