He will use a narrative that makes sense to people who want to believe it.
Like what he said...
Who has a bigger name Oklahoma or Texas?
Texas...
Because more people hate them.
The Anti Texas Fan.
People who will watch Texas lose.

I want to know why more than 95% of your posts on this board are about Texas A&M.

I think we should also consider how many posts from his previous handle, texashorn, were about A&M as well

The fact that you dont realize how radioactive your school is to a multitude of schools SHOULD be a wake up call. It's impressive how you can't see that running of Arkansas, Nebraska, Colorado, A&M and Missouri is not something to be proud of. Deloss Dodds said the game isn't worthwhile, so trolling a different conference's fan page looking for attention won't change that. You dont add anything to our schedule that we dont already get from our schedule. Playing Clemson, Miami, Notre Dame brings opportunities to expand our brand and expose our fans to new destinations. We already have schools who hate us, like LSU (though to be fair, LSU hates EVERYONE, including themselves) and AR, and we get Bama, Auburn, and good SEC east competition.
Simply put, whorns cant accept that A&M is happy without them and they don't know how to operate NOT being the center of the universe

Let me guess... If you were still an aggy student, you would've taken the time to cast your ballot on this matter under the "indifferent" option.

Inactive does not mean gone
You do realize with the first World War the US was subject to economic pressures from trading partners abroad. While most of the P5's are economic juggernauts today, they were far from it in their early history. Vanderbilt could dominate early sports as most competitors were of equal size or smaller. With the GI Bill at the close of WWII the big state schools came to dominate the small private ones.
Kentucky has gone through most all stages and levels of academics over time. They stared as a part of the private Transylvania (once had the better med school than Harvard) but broke off as an all male A&M school under the Morrill Act. They dropped the A&M early in the 1900's (why they may have gone inactive in the SIAA) and became a state college. In few years they became a University and admitted women. In the Great Depression they became aa flagship university and more dedicated academic institution. If they had the resources of the PUF they would have advanced much quicker with greater resources.
Count your blessing of the PUF as neither Utx or TAMU would have the power and growth they enjoy today without it. With or without money one should stay humble than become an a-hole for all to see.

I’ll never understand why A&M admins are afraid to play Texas in football.
A&M just had their best recruiting class ever but still finished behind Texas and it doesn’t seem like it’ll get better.

Oklahoma is the football elite of the region. Broadcasters and advertisers will pay more for Oklahoma than Texas when it comes to national exposure. They are the bigger historic winners. Utx is not #1 in your home region, you just believe they are.
Texas is 62-5-47 vs OU. OU has been better the last several years, obviously.
OU refused to go to the SEC without their little brother, OSU. Texas would have done the same, and wouldn't have left without A&M, regardless of conference. OU and Texas stuck together. State pride, you might say. But, not A&M. They bailed. Said screw the conference and Texas. Teams left for their own reasons, but Texas didn't run off any of them. Glad they are in a conference where everybody appreciates them. Both conferences are better off. I really don't care if they ever play again.

89% of aggy students vote
So what? Students are not exactly the best decision makers or best at seeing the big picture. Not saying it wouldn't be neat, but a vote from students should not be held in high regard. I mean you can pick out the students on TRant pretty easily, and usually not because they are being impressive in some way.

UVA and UNC have had the same adversarial relationship with the SIAA, SoCon and the SEC.
Wut?
The SIAA was the first "super conference" but was to large and unwieldy to operate effectively. Utx and TAMU left for the SWC. SEC evolved for schools on one side of the mountains and the ACC formed for the schools on the other side. Really, as simple as that. I know you may not believe it but without planes or interstate highways it was rough traveling across obstacles like mountains.
Biggest factor in the formation of the SEC was the L&N railroad being located primarily in that footprint.
As for Kentucky and the Civil War, Lincoln was from KY and knew they were the economic juggernaut of the economic age and "occupied" it from day one to control goods....
Lexington KY was the global leader of hemp in the "Age of Sail" which is why it is the largest city in the world not on a major body of water.
Kentucky was the leading US producer of horses (calvary) and mules (wagons) at the time which would make it the Detroit of the era.
Kentucky was a global sheep producer (and why KY BBQ is mutton today) when it was a staple meat of the military
Kentucky (Richmond) was home to Mason Hanger (a leading munitions and explosives producer from the early days to the current conflicts in the Middle East) before being bought by a PA firm a few years ago
Kentucky was a major coal producer in the "Age of Steam" as it was necessary for either side to fuel their rails. This was carpetbagged after the war with the broadform deed to funnel great wealth to a few NY and PA families of the Robber Barron Era.
Kentucky was a major tobacco source to the global supply at the time
Kentucky was a major liquor source desired by both the North and South
Lexington KY had the #1 or #2 slavemarket in the USA because of runaways headed north even tho slaves were not needed in the local economy. Interestingly the markets were owned by Yankees but that was erased from the history books when the war ended.
Kentucky could have been the Switzerland of the war except they sat on so many diversified resources desired at the time the North was not going to let them remain in local control.
Like it or not, most wars are fought over economic resources but claimed to be fought for noble resources. Without oil or cattle, Texas would be another New Mexico.
