I mean I know sooooo many teasips. I have group chats with tu grads I talk to on a daily basis. My entire experience as a student was in the Big 12, and I could have never imagined a scenario where we wouldn't play them, or OU for that matter.

I envy the current student pool that's only got to experience life in the SEC. It's exciting and new and the first two years A&M had the greatest player to ever step on a college football field. Honestly if you're a current student, qhy would y'all care about them? You don't have to play them. You have to play Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn and LSU.

I think it's important we play them again. We are the two flagship schools in the state, and there are too many ties to ignore them forever. The rivalry with tu extends far beyond the football field. I also think it's vitally important we explore this SEC thing on our own for a little while longer. I think it's part of the ever growing transformation of A&M as a small all male military school to what it is today.

And with the Sugar Bowl tie in with the SEC/Big 12... imagine the hype of the two teams meeting again for the first time when both are actually good? It sucks that it would happen in that dirty swamp instead of the greatest State in the Union... but still. Or maybe the Cotton Bowl tie in when it's a semi-playoff game or the Final? How amazing would that be?
