Normally, I don't care much about A&M and Texas playing but I'll probably be pulling for the Longhorns since A&M has been one of the most annoying fan bases here.

It does seem to me however, that Texas has the most to lose in this game. It will be especially insufferable here if that happens. Does Aggie have a realistic shot?

Next year, you're going to change your tone and root for us because Longhorn fans are utterly insufferable (with a few exceptions).

And since we're at home, we have more to lose. The Longhorns will be miserable to be around if they beat us at Kyle Field.

Irony is lost on the Aggies.

Texas will always have the most to lose. Big brother is never supposed to lose to little brother. You know that as an Alabama fan.

A&M fans continually say that they're big brother.

It's only in the eyes of the beholder. Most SEC schools are not smitten with Texas envy like A&M. You guys will always seem "off" to the SEC and to common folk.

This is why A&M should not have gotten jealous over LHN and left the Big XII. At least over here we "understood" A&M and we let you be you.

The SEC is not going to get your crap, and they already don't.

Oh, I don't agree with it. But they nonstop say it. It's odd.

Big brother typically means you're more successful, or at least have a bigger brand... That criteria doesn't exactly fit A&M.

I don't. I call A&M better brother.

But to answer the question:

From a pure standings perspective I suspect Texas will have the most to lose.

From a self-worth perspective - Aggies have the most to lose.

Most years it will be that way.

Don’t ask us. Look at the last 50-60 years and then ask yourself if you think A&M has a shot. It’s about 50/50.

If Texas A&M loses it will be the expectation, so I don't see it as a huge blow to their program. If Texas loses it will be a massive upset and possibly derail the season. Texas obviously has more to lose.

Uhhh check again. We don’t expect to lose this year. If we lose this year this will be an even bigger disappointment than 2011. We fired Mike Sherman after the 2011 loss

You're not going to fire your first year head coach in the middle of a culture rebuild over 1 loss.

I think you’re really talking about Sarge and that’s it.


Point out the self awareness level our laugh at their skins on the wall and the comeback is…..”Dont cry little brother”

Team A- Preseason Top 4 team
Team B- First year coach.

Obviously Team A even before you factor in anything else.

No we are not but we still have the talent to make some noise this year if Weigman can stay healthy even with a first year coach. This is not a complete rebuild
