Okay. All shite talking aside. I will say a few things. We had our day. Now it’s over.

1. You actually have an outstanding world class university. You should be proud.
2. Your sports teams are almost always competitive and fun to watch. You have your down years, but you have your up years too.
3. Ags love to give you shite, but the truth is, you are a formidable opponent and always have been. And always will be.
4. I’ve taken courses at both schools for different degrees and there are legitimate reasons why each student chooses one school over another.

As far as baseball.

5. You have an awesome team, that just didn’t play all that well on one day. If we played a series, who knows how it would end.
6. I truly don’t understand the titanic reference. No disrespect intended.

As far as records and such in football…

7. Objectively, speaking we actually did have many years we we could barely field a team due to the wars. Also, there were many years that due to scholarship limits being unlimited things were unequal. However, even eliminating those games, Texas still holds an overall advantage over A&M. You have a great program. That’s the facts.
8. Recently, we have been better. But only very recently.
9. I am glad you are coming to the SEC and that we again have all our games through one media contract.
10. Don’t expect us to stop giving you shite even though all of this is true. No one is anyones “Daddy”. Both schools are enormous quality schools that can flourish without each other.

That is all.

(One last thing. You really need to let go of the horns down stuff. Y’all are gonna end up very frustrated in the SEC if that continues to bother you).

Good luck next year. Beat the hell outta Bama.

Nah man. Just being real. We give the horns crap, but the truth is they are a great school. It’s tradition to give them shite, but at the end of the day most of us actually realize that one another schools are great schools.

We each have sons and daughters that chose one another schools, that we paid to send there. That’s the truth.

Ehh they are dildo loving leftist. Most of the actual graduates I know are not happy with what the school has turned into.

The only part that mattered. Honestly if they didnt let it bother them, every SEC school at the least would do it at them for 10 years.

From a diehard Aggie with a degree from each school, that was a very solid, mature post.

It has no place here.

I give crap to Texas and Texas A&M constantly when it comes to athletics. That’s what the rant is about. I’ll never shy away from that. But the academic standards at both are top notch. A degree from TAMU and Texas is a prestigious honor that is world renowned. There’s no shame in getting a degree from either while being a fan of a rival. There are a lot of smart professionals in this world who have degrees from both universities.

It’s rare. If you search my posts on this board you’ll realize this post is like a white zebra. Something you’ll seldom, if ever, see unless you’re paying attention.

But I said it. I threw up in my mouth a little. And now we move on.

Both are wonderful universities and I'd be proud of my kids going to either school. My 19-year is running track at A&M luckily and my two younger kids still have 5+ years. I graduated engineering from A&M but took several master classes at UT. Love both schools, especially for the academics.

Now Rant time!!!!

We've owned Texas baseball now for a few years. I always watch the annual game in Austin.

Texas baseball, like football, is chronically overhyped and overranked. They certainly have some extremely talented players. But their coach, Pierce, can't seem to find the winning formula. Now that Texas will be facing Schlossnagle regularly, not sure if Pierce is gonna have enough to out coach him. Less about players IMO as talent will always come to Texas. More about what you do with that talent. Great run into the CWS either way.

Just glad we gave ourselves a chance to pull out a historical loser bracket comeback! Man, OU and ND are playing amazing though.

The Texas Oklahoma rivalry is ten times bigger than the A&M Texas or OU OSU rivalries.

It’s next level. It’s my state vs your state. You’re either on this side or that side. It’s a very classic rivalry that to some people goes beyond sports or academia. There’s people in each state that legit hate the other state because of the rivalry. It’s hostile. Similar to Michigan Ohio St.

I feel like a&m and Texas isn’t that ugly. It’s just sports then at the end of the day they’re buddies.

You would think so. But you aren’t taking the insecurity into account.

Because when all the longhorns are OPENLY rooting for OU against A&M in the Cotton Bowl… you start to see some flaws in this logic.

They spend so much time belittling A&M that they feel instantly threatened by any success A&M has. They don’t handle A&M having success as well as OU having success. It’s just Not the same dynamic.

You don't even have to reach back that far. They were openly rooting for OU baseball over A&M on Friday. It's constant. Horns love to claim we aren't their "real rival" but when the chips are down, they just can't help themselves.

A good old fashioned "You both suck" would be appropriate for this board I would think.
