It's stupid not to play a big rivalry game like this. It is what makes college football great.

Yes. We'll probably play eventually, but only when it is in both of our interests. It's not in our interest to play them right now, because doing so would partially help solve a major recruiting and scheduling problem they have in the current set up.

Alabama politicians tried to force the Iron Bowl back during the 40 year hiatus, but failed to do so. Turned out to be campaign promises, they really couldn't follow through on. They will play again when their ad's come together and make it happen, not before, and there is nothing anybody can do about it. At the end of the day, Texas legislatures will not pass a law forcing schools to play each other because that would piss off more people than it pleases.

You are framing the question wrong.

Three times, aggy politicians have filed bills to force the game to continue. The first two were laughed away, the third comes up when the legislature convenes this month, and will likely be laughed out of the statehouse.

So the question should be, "Does aggy have the political clout to force the game to continue?" Answer: No.

One or two overzealous grandstanders?
Maybe.
Would such legislation pass?
Heck no.

Have there been any verified instances of teleportation. In all the movies and videos it seems to happen the same way. Where did this idea come from? My guess is Ancient Aliens

They would know the answer to the original question because wormholes and such.

Aggy's fear of playing them is better for Texas honestly. Aggy would be a huge blow to Texas' strength of schedule.

Clearly not because we've been forced to play them on their terms every year between 2012 and 2018...oh, wait...

The state of TX has no say. Athletic departments are self funded and completely separate from tax-funded academics, buildings, etc.

A&M doesn't have to play them.
