I think eventually the series will resume. It will probably be around 2026 or so when it happens. This is when the XII GoR expires and the XII will be blown apart. Notice how tu really hasn't scheduled much past that date. This is also when the A&M/Arkansas contract in JW expires, which A&M has no intention of renewing, moving our games to home and home. This gives us more flexibility in OOC scheduling about the time tu's schedule opens up. That is my best guess on a time schedule for renewal.

As for the all time series, it is what it is. I was born in the early 70's so like most people that only remember the modern era, the series is close to even in my lifetime. I'm not making excuses, but for about 25 years post WW2 A&M was not the school that it has become. It more resembled The Citadel and VMI than the A&M of today. Still, no excuses. tu kicked our arse a lot during that time period.

It is a rivalry from our standpoint. It always has been and always will be. tu is the one who said it was NOT a rivalry or an important game for them. Again, I cannot really know how their fan base feels - nor do I care.

I do know that folks like Charles Satrerfield, III and all his alters make me less interested in renewal. There are folks like him in real life, and they simply remind me of how they are. Maybe if the tu fans were more like the LSU, Alabama, and Arkansas fans it would be more fun.
