I could go along with this. The next problem is scheduling years in advance, though, and possibly going to a 9-game SEC schedule throws another wrench into the works. But that's just details. If both schools want it to happen then they'll make it happen.

Exactly. Georgia will still play the nerds in Atlanta, and Florida will still play the girl's college if we have a 9 game schedule. If both sides want it, it'll start immediately.

Backing off a bit of my earlier statement, I'm just not sure it matters a lot. Yeah, we're both in Texas, so it naturally matters. But the demise of Bonfire to me really diminishes the importance of the game. If I were a student right now I'm not sure I'd see a Texas game as more important than a Baylor game.

The game doesn't have the same meaning without Bonfire, I agree. It's still a big rivalry though. I never had Bonfire but Baylor is and always will be an afterthought when talking about A&M's important games, imo.
