All they've done since getting here, other than not winning conference and/or divisional titles, is talk about how great Texas and Texas recruiting is. They throw words like "endowment" and money signs around to cover up the fact that they have a mediocre coach and are going nowhere but middle of the pack. Remind you of anyone? Sure the Longhorns may suck, but they've got that money right? All that talk from Aggies about how bad Texas is, all they did was switch conferences to get out of Big Brother's shadow and pretend to sit in the big chair for a while.

Too little return.

Why is Arkansas trying to be so much like Bama by shutting out LSU?

The answer is: because we have never gotten to be the Texas before. No matter how much money we had, they had more. We felt like fricking MSU.

Then we get to the SEC and we play against some programs (again MSU) whose endowments are worth less than our football facilities. So the natural Texas arrogance bubbled up.

And it's dying down somewhat. Another part of the SEC move is a new standard. Yeah we the best by the Texas standard (richest) but that doesn't make you feel better when you get four years of corndog teabags or that poor team beats you. We are slowly learning that Texas had it all wrong and the coaching matters more than the flash. Hence us hiring a few good coaches (WR, DC) who are so so recruiters.

That's not a Longhorn thing brah.

It would be exactly the same had y'all invited SMU, Houston, Rice, or whoever.

All Texans love everything Texas b/c... well... Texas is the best.

They will surpass tu in a few years, being in the SEC will help them do it.

I often wonder the same thing. I don't really go for the arrogant angle...

My best guess is that is has to do with all the shite we took when we first arrived. Lots of dismissive attitudes that needed to be checked...

Well said. I like aTm but, as much as they'd hate to admit it, Texas was superior in that rivalry.

Urrbody wants to be big bro in their state. Unfortunately, A&M is not. Only a select elite are the flagship of their states...Mizzou and Arkansas. Everyone else has to share their state's territory

Ags = 0 SEC conference titles after 3 years in SEC

Arkansas = 0 SEC conference titles after 24 years in the SEC


Struggling to see why you are chirping at all this morning.

aggy fans are like the dude at the party who is socially awkward and struggles to participate in a real conversation. so they compensate by being bragadocious (sp), loud and making shite up . they also love to tell how they are GOING TO beat you. then they brag about their schools money.

the chicks stay away. in fact, everyone stays away. but their reaction is to just amp it up.

I know not all aggie fans are like this but there sure are slews of them on this board.
