What occurs first:

1. Filling this in?



2. Or this coming up every time when people talk about your "program"?

Conference titles are meaningless only to Alabama because they have won two of their six under Saban without the need to win the SEC. For everyone else, a conference title, whether XII or SEC, is needed to be in the CFP.

What comes first?

1. Austin being destroyed like Sodom & Gomorrah.

2. Texas fans recognizing that A&M and tu are tied since the NCAA set scholarship limits in 1973.

Being tied since 1973 would indicate the Aggies have won a national title. And that’s clearly not the case. Horns have one. Aggies have Zero.

I can't even remember when this game was competitive

Maybe twice in the past 15 years or so.

The 2015 game was only a five-point win, when Derrick Henry scored with about two minutes left.

Before that was 2009 Rocky Block - still maybe one of the loudest single moments in BDS that I can recall.

Any SEC West team besides A&M has a tough schedule in my opinion.

That is quite the cherry-picked timeline there, aggie. Are y'all really that desperate to compare yourselves against your big brother. My my, how pathetic you are.

Let's just do this by era instead:



Wow, so not only in football, but literally everything other than soccer we completely humiliate you?

Wins by Conference Era
SEC ERA (2012-2019)
UT - 27
A&M - 19

What does this represent?


ETA: Head-to-head wins during that time period in all sports?

Isn't that just a combined list of SEC and Big 12 schools that have to play Alabama and Oklahoma?

I'll allow it.

Correct. It got downvoted by the crying aggies that are too upset to dispute facts presented. Or they just don't know how to count since they have a Texas A&M education and it frustrates them. Or both.

The Big 12 was so weak the committee wouldn't put your conference champion in the playoff. Why would they ever consider your 3rd best team?

Comparing schedule difficulty between two schools that play each other (like inside a conference) is sort of a weird metric.

Just randomly, for example, Arkansas' schedule might look significantly more difficult when you compare it to Georgia's, obviously because Georgia would be much higher ranked going into the season.

Thus, Arkansas may technically have the harder schedule, but to accurately compare the difficulty of just those two schools' schedules, you really should only consider all the other teams they are playing, not the head-to-head game itself, because if not, you're essentially just giving brownie points to the shittier team every time, IMO.

until you two tex-azz pussies decide to play each other, you both need to stfu.

Our AD tried to schedule them. They said no, so we scheduled Alabama instead.

I can't really blame them though. Now it's easy for them to be the doormat since they don't share the state with any opponents that constantly get to tee off on them. The whole reason they left is because they knew it'd be 100 more years of abuse at the hands of Texas and Oklahoma if they did

What was the score the last time TAMU and Oklahoma got together? Cotton Bowl wasn't it?
