@max_olson: Charlie Strong, Kevin Sumlin tell @ClowESPN they want the Texas-Texas A&M rivalry back LINK
quote:
"That game is so much a part of this state," said Strong, who is entering his second season at Texas. "Over 100 years, we've played that game. Why stop it now because we're in different conferences? At some point, when it's right for everybody with the different schedules, I would love to play Texas A&M again."
"Now, moving into Year 4 and listening to our former students and our alumni base and knowing a lot of Texas alums, it's important that we play again," Sumlin said. "I think it will happen somewhere down the road. The tough part for both parties, when we moved, was scheduling. The first two years we scrambled just to get anybody to play, and the SEC hadn't solidified their schedule until last year. We were at the mercy of whoever would play us.
"Now that we've solidified what the SEC's scheduling theory is going to be, you've seen us become more aggressive with our nonconference schedule, and that was the knock on us early on. People sometimes take scheduling for granted and say, 'Play this team.' They don't know the process. But I think the Texas series will happen. I just don't know when."

Strong said he hasn't pushed his bosses at Texas to make the game happen.
"Let me win some games first," he said. "Then I can push it. I don't know if I want to go walking into College Station right now."

Yea, it doesn't seem like much of a rivalry but I'm sure it matters to the fans of those schools.

They're still in shock that we left.
And their schedule sucks.
Nothing surprising here.

Nah.
No fear here.
Like I said: They're in a snoozefest conference, and they miss the rivalry.
It was kinda a big deal in The Great State.
It'll resume at some point in the future, but doubtfull any time soon.

A&M is 19-18 vs TU in their last 37 games

It absolutely sucks.
They have to go to Waco, Lubbock, Ames IA, Lawrence KS, Stillwater OK, and Manhattan KS regularly.
That sucks.
I can't speak to their future OOC sched--I don't keep up w their plans.
