Are you happy with no longer playing your in-state rival?
Of course they are, just look at the series head-to-head.

Texas on TAMU

Texas A&M has been consistent throughout the saga: "We'll play you anytime, you're the ones providing the rivalry's death blow and refusing to play."
quote:
Texas warned A&M when it was considering a move to the SEC: "Leave and this rivalry is over."
quote:
“They left,” Dodds said. “They're the ones that decided not to play us. We get to decide when we play again. I think that's fair. If you did a survey of our fans about playing A&M, they don't want to. It's overwhelming. I know. I hear it. Our fans are important to us. I think there's got to be a period where things get different. I think there's too many hard feelings.”

Now Texas is getting its arse handed to it in recruiting by AtM (relatively speaking) and Texas wants AtM back on the schedule for recruiting purposes only.
This is exactly why they SHOULD play again. Beat t.u. arse in recruiting. But nobody knows how good AtM will be once one Jonathan moves onward, so not taking any chances.

The series is dead even since scholarship limitations have been put in place.
Next.

no it doesnt
and did none of you actually read the article?
NOBODY said no thanks to playing Texas.

“We hope to play them again in a BCS or playoff game at some point,” A&M senior associate athletic director Jason Cook told me this afternoon.
where does he say we refuse to play them in the regular season?

A&M scared. Embarrassing.

Please show me the quote where we said we will not play them. That's the only quote in the story from an A&M official, saying we will play them if so matched in a bowl game. Compare and contrast that with the backroom deals last year pulled by the longhorns saying they would decline a Cotton bowl invite if we were the opponent. I guess they hadn't "punished" us enough at that time by refusing to play us.

I think I speak for a great majority of Aggies in the state, that we've moved on," said Houston lawyer Tony Buzbee, an A&M alumni. "We want to play the best in the country and we don't want to be stuck playing the University of Texas. Our football team is on a meteoric rise, we have the Heisman Trophy winner (Johnny "Football" Manziel), and we're building new stadium that will be the third largest in country. My point is that the University of Texas is in the rear-view mirror.

Agreed.
Oddly, other schools' fans are interested.

The Texas state legislature will eventually get involved to get the game going again. The Alabama state legislature had to threaten to pull funding from both schools in order to get the Iron Bowl renewed.
I side with the Ags here because Texas was being a bitch about it a couple of years ago and as an Aubie, I am familiar with a rival being a bitch.
Most of us know the AU-Bama story, but for those that don't...
Bama refused to set foot in Jordan Hare for over a decade because they were scared. They knew they had a permanent home field advantage at Legion Field and did not want to play AU without it.
By the 1970's every SEC team was coming to JH which had expanded to 72,000. Bigger than BD and essentially the same as Legion Field. AU kept trying to play bama home and home (home field for bama was already legion field). Even when JH expanded to 85k making it much larger than LF or BD (which was at 60k), bama refused.
It took Pat Dye telling bama either play AU at JH and give up the permanent home field advantage or AU was going to take bama to court and bama was coming one way or the other. Bama had no choice but was scared shitless, the bama coach even called the FBI and asked them for an escort because he feared for his team's safety.
So, I understand a rival being a scared bitch and have to side with the Ags here.

The Agsession is strong with the rantards.
