The Moo Moo's ain't daddy no more...A&M's the dominant school over Texas now.

A&M isn't "scared" of Texas. According to an A&M friend of mine, it has more to do with how Texas was the school that dealt treacherously in years past, primarily when they were in the old SWC.

At the expense of the other Texas schools, Texas was considered a "dirty" school when it came to recruits, etc. You can ask people from Texas Tech, Baylor, TCU, etc., about Texas' past history. UT has always tried to be domineering at the expense of others. Only A&M had the size and stature, plus its proximity to Austin, to take a stand against UT.

Finally, the opportunity for A&M to leave UT behind came with being able to join the SEC and leave the past and UT behind for good. A&M has been able to stand on their own without the bad influences of UT.

But, here come the Cows crawling on their hands and hoofs, desperate for someone to save them and this is why THEY took the initiative to approach the SEC (not the other way around) and now A&M sees the ugly past w/UT rearing up in its rearview mirror and they don't like it.
I don't blame them.

The acrimony between A&M and UT is never going away.
