damn...i was really pulling for bama. it's posts like this that eventually will make me change my mind.




He's not a Bama fan.

Bama fans see games this big or bigger ever year. Only the A&M fans think this is unusual. They're not accustomed to the spotlight.

Bama was there too


I'm just saying. This game is a joke compared to that one. There were like 20 NFL players in that game, it was at night, after 2 bye weeks, 1 v 2, and in November.

Bama is going to stomp A&M. No one knew who would win in 2011.

You kids are sensitive sallys up in here.

Just look at you. All worked up hurling disjointed insults because of the hype this game's receiving.


What was an insult in what he said exactly? A&M's defense is hilarious. That's not exactly an insult; it's truth.

too would imply you matter 1st.

Not the case. You've been irrelevant for awhile and a 10-2 season doesn't constitute as relevant.

The logic is pretty funny. Texas A&M fans, who are willing to sit next to Manziel for like $20K at a party, are excited because they have people who are asking historic amounts for tickets that only Texas A&M fans are stupid enough to buy.

Insults and truth aren't mutually exclusive.

The point is it has no business in the thread. It's just a manifestation of his--and other Tiger fans'--disdain over the game's hype. A forced, irrelevant remark intended to detract from the thread's point in hopes of getting everyone to buy that "This game shouldn't matter because we're not in it."

You won't this year, and you didn't last year, either.

Regardless, this thread isn't about what you or the Rant perceives as "bigger" games. It's about the hard fact that this is the most expensive regular season contest in history.

I honestly don't care.

I am just bored at work and felt like pointing out how pitiful you sound for shits'n'giggles.

There will be tons of big games this year for every team.

Also, I am rooting for TAMU. They just have no shot.

This doesn't make a lick of sense.

It's a reflection of the enthusiasm surrounding the program. We'd be less excited if it were Bama fans willing (read: capable) to pay the exorbitant tickets.

Prove this hard fact. Just curious to see the stats.

Stubhub average price has been the standard in recent years.

fricking delusional.

Last year the LSU game (decided the West), the SECCG (decided the SEC), and the BCSCG (decided everything) were far bigger.

You guys have a lot to adjust to.

What difference does how much fans are willing to pay make? Alabama fans are notorious for paying a lot, and so are Texas A&M fans. All it means is that there are a lot of people who want to sell tickets for a lot of money, and they are hoping that they will find someone to pay it.

Aggy fans won't be "hyped" when they overpay to see Bama run all over that porous and charmin soft Aggy defense. There, I made it relevant to the thread.

Are yall accustomed to the redecorating your weight room every year with other teams Logos?

Did know that was a Saban tradition.

And you you do realize if you lose this game there is a chance you dont play in the SECCG???

Write it off as just another game, but your teams "motivation" all offseason was this game.

Saban still breaks pencils thinking about Manziel.

I don't know. What difference does following college football at all make?

The thread's about the most expensive regular season game ever. If that's a topic you find trivial, so be it.

Awwwww look at Aggy.....he getting sad Bama doesn't think this game is any bigger. Now Aggy has to justify all the reasons why this is the biggest game in the history of Alabama football. When in reality it's only the biggest game in A&M history.

Go kick some rocks now.

There there.
