re: Texas - TAMU Rivalry

A&M was supposed to play them in the Cotton Bowl after the 2012 season. Both Mack Brown and DeLoss Dodds told the Cotton Bowl they would refuse to play if A&M was the opponent.

Sumlin called off the dogs on Oklahoma in the 4th quarter (was 41-13 early 4th). If it was t.u. it may have been worse than 77-0.

Lol they simply love this fabrication.

In reality, the second place big 12 team was slated to go to the Cotton Bowl. That was Oklahoma, as they were "co-champions" with Kansas State, but lost the head to head in 2012. Ergo - they played in the Cotton Bowl while KSU got the nod to play in the Fiesta Bowl against Oregon.

Texas finished 3rd in conference. That designation earned them the Alamo Bowl.

This is actually extremely easy to figure out, but you can't count on anyone with an aggie education to know how to count properly
