I am assuming you would rather beat Bama and Texas win, but if you had to lose to Bama did the bonfire that is UT football and spanking the Rebel Bears gave them allow you to at least enjoy the day. I remember being in Tuscaloosa on a rare day that Ole Miss beat them many many years ago and how everyone gathered around the TV to watch the LSU and Auburn game (The earthquake game. As they told me as long as Auburn lost too the parties would be lively and fun going into the am. Is it the same at A&M?
When we were in the same conference it would have mattered a lot more, but listening to the game on my way back home Saturday night, I was really more concerned about what it would say about the SEC if that bunch of pantywaists could beat what is supposed to be an up and coming SEC team. Frankly, at this point, we can afford to be charitable and hope the Horns win some games--we don't want them firing Mack Brown prematurely. He's got another seven or eight good years in him if you ask me.

It makes my week better, honestly, because as someone who lives in Austin, I get to listen to the crazy conspiracy theories on the radio about the palace intrigue going on in Belmont. It's very entertaining. Like an HBO show. Or that movie "Downfall" about the last days in the Fuhrerbunker. I actually like my drive home now because it's solid ranting every time.

What i would really love to see, after living here in Texas a few years, is for you guys to make nice and start playing again. I would love to see the Aggies beatdown Texas for the next few years.

There's still a lot of football left to be played. Hopefully, the effing longhorns can turn it around and save macks job for another few years. We'll just keep doing what were doing and getting better.


I'm almost okay with him ending it now so they get someone before Chip Kelly is allowed to come back to college.

DirecTV didn't have the game, and I didn't think much about it. I hope that if they let Mack go, it turns into years of turnover like the Akers/McWillians/Mackovic years.

Amen, that stuff is great. LOVE the entitlement.



Horn Fan: Lets just hire Nick Saban.

Announcer: I don't think Nick would come here.

Horn Fan: Well then offer him $10 million a year.

Announcer: Yeah, but he could probably get that from Bama and he has a winning machine going on there.

Horn Fan: Then you offer him $20 million a year!!!


Great, great stuff.

Glad Ole Miss won because they are an SEC program and the better we as a conference are, the better for all of us. Being strong against everyone else is why 1 loss SEC teams get to play for NC's.

But I will admit I enjoy seeing the horns lose.

Also I'm surprised so many missed the bonfire jab

It always makes me smile to hear Texas is losing but it's kind of like an aspirin for a gunshot wound. I also find myself caring less this year than last and last year I cared less then the year before. I did get some pleasure out of OU stomping the crap out of Texas last year since it was so over the top.

It's good for A&M for Texas to struggle, right now A&M could probably flip just about any Texas commit it wanted to. I live in Austin as well so I'd rather hear them whine about their struggles than to try and rant about how David Ash is just as good as Johnny Manziel.

At some point we will play each other again but we are in no rush. There is just way too much money left on the table by that game not happening and Texas needs it to sell their season tickets now that their schedule is crap.

For all the shite Texas gave everyone in the Big 12 I'm sure everyone enjoyed that.

The truly amazing thing about living in Austin is that the radio station's commentators have to declare that they are actually employees of the LHN when an irate Longhorn calls in to complain that the LHNs constant coverage of the program has proven to be a distraction for the coaches and players and yet another a vehicle of the entitlement mentality that has infected the program and eroded their martial spirit. Shows you just how far and wide the bullshite is stacked when even the radio guys have the LHNs claws in them. Those coaches and kids just don't get valid evaluation as HS players, criticism as coaches/players, or reasonable expectations from anywhere. It's like la-la land until that first game and then its OMG, we suck? How in the frick? But everyone said we'd win a BCS bowl this year! But we're Texas! Our own TV station said we were awesome!
