Unlike a lot of old rivalries, the Longhorns & Aggies are genuinely glad to be rid of each other. It truly was for the best. We have our rivalry with OU and A&M will find a rival eventually. We'll meet in a bowl eventually, everyone will be worked up for a week, and then it will be forgotten after the game. A generation from now, the idea of a rivalry or big brother/little brother relationship between Texas and A&M will be a curiosity to the kids in school. A&M is just another team we historically dominated. They are in good company.
I don't really agree. Yes, UT is glad to be rid of them and it's clear as to why.
Aggies may want you to believe they are happy to be gone and they were at first. However, they are still very bitter from what I can see. Especially since they got slapped back down to reality.
In the Big12, they still lost but they belonged despite their feud with UT. In the SEC, no one will accept them as a rivalry. No one accepts them as a threat except Kentucky. They don't fit in here despite how hard they try yelling SEC in unison.
They pick and jab at everyone that doesn't ignore them just hoping to create that heated rivalry they so desperately deny with UT, but no one cares. No one will feud with them and it hurts them. All they have left to hand on to is the little brother syndrome.
They can't win, so they hang their hat on a top recruiting class of wide receivers while leaving holes in every other position on the field.
These little brothers will never stop looking up to you even long after you've forgotten about them.

I'd dispute this line.
College football is all about talking s**t, and we all enjoy it. All fan-bases have been tagged with one overly broad label or another. It's all one big inside joke we get to appreciate.
With A&M, the bizarre and eccentric things people mock are real. The male cheerleaders, the public mutual masturbation, the sexual assault of vulnerable and innocent animals, the disturbing rituals of the corp of cadets, these aren't contrived stories created to poke fun at A&M, these are real and celebrated parts of their culture.
Everyone in the Big 12 was freaked out by them. People knock Texas for looking out for our own self interests, fine. No one in the Big 12 embraced the weirdness of the aggies.
