I'll give you that the old Nebraska/OU Big 8 games were great.

Much as most board fans don't want it to happen, the A&M/Texas game will probably resume in 7 years or so.

I still think "realignment as an enemy of great rivalries" is overrated. The handful you listed would be easy to get back on -- and as far as ND is concerned, I think they are about to dump Stanford the next time Stanford has a lull.

I would be surprised if we play a long term series with any one from the big 12 for a while. I'm personally against us ever doing so but I can see how that causes troubles in setting up schedules

Texas-Arkansas? Dead.

OU-Nebraska? Dead

Aggy-Texas? Dead.

Any WVU rivalry? Dead

Realignment only kills rivalries when the Big 12 is involved. That conference is a rivalry killer.

UT-Austin Longhorns may lack the passionate fanbase to support a massive online/social media presence like we have, but I guarantee you the "board fans" are in the majority opinion of all Aggies. You'll get the same answer on TexAgs and tAggyArk as you'll get here: Thanks, but we're not interested in playing you right now. We're looking to play teams that will increase our national visibility (no offense).
