Always a favorite of mine. "Their schedule is weak, they need us." Yea... which is why Texas has scheduled Bama, OSU, Michigan, UF, UGA, LSU, hell even Arkansas as their non-con competition in the future.

How many of these teams have a more recent 10-win season or more recent bigger bowl win than the Aggies? Who exactly on that list is A&M a head-and-shoulders upgrade over besides Kansas and ISU? Honestly?

I for one am all for the game coming back. Great game during the Thanksgiving holiday and I know my family and family friends miss it as well. It's a shame that business and egos got in the way, and I'm completely able to accept Texas's part in that. But I'd still like to see the game come back during Thanksgiving. If UF & FSU, GT & UGA, ND & USC, Louisville & Kentucky, etc. can do it, why the hell can't Texas & Texas A&M.

That's a lot of words to say you're upset little old Aggy won't play you.

And Texas still sucks.

When do you start your search for a new coach?

I would suggest now.

Those programs are by all accounts good business partners to one another. Texas was a terrible business partner to A&M, is a terrible business partner to the Big 12, and burned a lot bridges orchestrating the lawsuits and series cancellations that accompanied A&M's move to the SEC. And despite all they, A&M and the SEC kept A&M's Thanksgiving weekend open to accomodate the series until UT said no.

Now Texas needs bigger home games to sell tickets, and all of a sudden they want to be buddy-buddy again like none of that ever happened? Sorry assholes. Doesn't work like that. You cancelled the series because you thought it was in your own best itnerest to do so, and we'll resume it when we feel it's in our best interest to do so.

I’m not sure Arkansas helps your argument there but I appreciate the mention nonetheless.
