I’ll give you this, aggy is great at making stuff up, then telling each other over and over, then morphing it into facts. 5-7, stuck with jumbo, a bigger Blinn college doesn’t make aggy world class. Lol

Then refute it. Don’t just pontificate.

20-19 in the last 50 years it’s not opinion. It is a fact.

22-19 since A&M allowed unlimited enrollment of women is not an opinion. It is a fact.

Aggie football was awful between 1940 and the early 1970s. That is a fact. And it has as much relevance today as arguing about who won the soccer match between Padua and Milan in 1620.

Why is it not relevant? You and I had as much to do with a game played yesterday as one played in 1900. If A&M had dominated the series pre-1970, it would surely be relevant to you.

Texas won a natty this century. Aggie won one as Hitler invaded Poland. You people are so delusional it’s comical. I guess this is the time of year for your annual “ this is our year” Spring natty. No one views you as a traditional football power. I see this time and time again with Aggie. Viewing a series record and adjusting the time line to make it seem competitive. a series record is what it is.

Relevant and historical fact are two different things

Kennedy was once president, he is not relevant and influential in today’s political arena however

Aggie isn’t relevant now. So there’s that.

Absolutely but it also entirely irrelevant when determining future outcomes

Not really. My father was playing for Coach Royal at the time, and I earned my advanced degree in Austin.

I have no animosity to your school. I just find it entertaining to watch you rest upon antique laurels.

I’d agree if Aggie were in some sort of period of being a national football power. However, you’re not. And honestly, never have been.

Is that UT vs Aggies? It’s funny how they like to shift time periods around to make it seem as though they’re on top.

absolutely true.

And 3-3 in last six meetings. So what?

During the modern era, your school had a Hell of a good streak recently, just as we had one Hell of a good streak in the 80s and 90s.

Both are comparable. Congrats on the latest run.

I thought this was a recency argument? Sounds like they own you in that category too. Lol this is sad. I actually pity Aggie.

Edit. See how Aggie pulls out the 3-3 in the last 6. This is their technique of adjusting their opponents dominance over them. Sometimes it’s as limited as well we beat you last time. It’s comical.

Hope so. It's been fun slapping the hogs around the last 11 years. Can't wait to do the same to the coattail riders from Austin.

not at all. It is a discussion about comparing apples to apples, rather than apples to oranges.

Before 1940, the schools were in essentially the same position, and the records were essentially even.

Between 1940 and 1971, the schools were in entirely different situations, and the record was lopsided.

Since 1971, the two schools have again been placed on essentially even footing, and the record is again approximately equal.

This is just reality. It baffles me that the Longhorns have such trouble excepting it.

In essence, they want to compare the production of two fruit trees, when one tree was being watered and fertilized regularly, while the other was neglected. Of course the former tree will produce more fruit.

When both trees are properly maintained, they are both producing a lot of yummy snacks for the people of the state of Texas.

apologies. I thought I was engaged in a discussion with someone bright enough to understand that the 3–3 point was intended solely to demonstrate the silliness of the 10–4 point.

Cope. A series record is a series record. I am intelligent enough to see through your spin. You picked the last 6 because it is even. Don’t be so daft smart Aggie.

with what? The fact that a large state like Texas has two pretty decent football programs?

I don’t find that to be the slightest bit distressing.
