Texas talent is so superior
Texas High School talent is focused almost exclusively on offensive skill players. There's a reason that, of the 24 defensive players signed by A&M between the classes of 2019 and 2020, only 7 are from Texas. (only 1 defensive player in A&M's 2020 class is from Texas - Jaylon Jones)

So, what you're saying is...Texas Talent is overrated.
I agree.

Why would A&M do that? Playing Texas would invalidate the big "frick you" they sent in 2012. Why strengthen your enemy? Makes no sense.

It is, but still good, just not head and shoulders above everyone else. That is one of the false assupmtions that leads to all the posturing with no backbone. You can argue other areas are actually better or at the very least every bit as good. It's fake news that A&M or Texas SHOULD be better than everyone else.

They should be consistently a top 10 type program.
They are the most underachieving program in CFB.
And A&M has every right and should tell them to frick off.

I agree depending on how you define "consistently". You hear pundits refer to programs as "Perennial" top 10 teams but no one really fits that description if you take a wide enough angle to verify the claim.
Consistent top 25 at least 80% of the time yes for sure. Every once in a while everyone has a bad season here and there but no reason for them to struggle to beat teams like Kansas and finishing unranked as often as they do.

No. What I'm saying is, while the quality of Texas' OFFENSIVE talent has increased dramatically, especially in skill positions, the quality of Texas' DEFENSIVE talent has decreased almost as dramatically.

seriously, what does A&M have to gain by playing Texas? Its a lose lose. If they win, they should have won because SEC, if they lose, the national embarrassment of losing to the big 12 would be detrimental to the public's perception of A&M moving conferences.
A&M plays a tough enough schedule as is in the SEC west.
This is clearly a desperation move by Texas because they need butts in seats with that sad af home schedule

Agree 100%. Texas produces a TON of D1 talent, but that is mostly because it is by far the most populous football crazy state. The only states woth more people are NY and Cali, and they definitely aren't football crazy like Texas or the southern states are. The players are no better or worse than those from Lousiana, Georgia, Florida, Etc.
Theres just more of them.
The flip side of that is the fact that there are 5 Power 5 programs in the state in A&M, UT, Baylor, TCU, and Tech, plus the national powers like Ohio State and Bama cherry picking blue chips like they do from any other state, plus some high profile in-state G5 programs like UH, plus competition from out-of-state programs like OU, oSu, LSU, Arky, etc. Looking to fill out their rosters, all competing with each other for those players.
At the end of the day all those Texas kids get spread out pretty thinly among all the competing college programs in the area, and it's difficult for any of them to really rise above the others for more a few seasons at a time. There's just too many mouths to feed.

UTx is desperate.

I'll give Texas credit. They battled to the end. Texas A&M gave up in the first quarter en route to a 50-7 disaster.
No wonder A&M is afraid to play the Univ of Texas.

Exactly. Texas is huge. In Football population Texas is probably comparable to the area of the panhandle, Georgia, and parts of Alabama and The Carolinas. Lately that area may have the most talent. Clemson, UGA, Bama and AU do a lot of their recruiting there and field very talented teams.

Texas is very afraid. Texas AD Deloss Dodds killed the series. The dirty little secret Texas doesn’t want anyone to look at is: They are afraid if anyone looks hard at their record they will realize what a bunch of p*****s they really are. Texas has never “owned” A&M. Texas ran up the majority of its record while Aggies and men from other universities were at war.
Prior to WWII Texas had a 27-15 with 4 ties record against A&M. Lumpsided, but not unreasonable. Only 8 more wins over the Aggies in 46 years. During WWII and the Korean wars, while the Aggies were supplying the majority of the officers for the armed forces, the denuts stayed home and ran up a 12/1/1 record vs Texas A&M. During the Vietnam war the Texas record was 14-2, against the Ags, with unlimited scholarships stockpiling and parking players avoiding the draft, and to keep them from other schools. Stockpiling players because they could afford to. This was the “glory” years for Texas. Texas has a 27-3 record vs A&M when the country is at war. Since 1975, with no draft, A&M has won 19, Texas 17. Take away UT’s war record, and and their record as the self proclaimed “flagship” of college football is pretty mediocre. Aggies have moved on, Texas really thought everyone else in the old SWC and the Big 12
were there strictly to benefit tu. Look at all the schools that left those conferences, every one complained about Texas. Now Texas plays a for shite schedule and conference with OU and only one other “name” program each year and can’t even win their conference. Texas needs games with the SEC to boost their attendance. Who played the tougher schedule last year? They are the biggest whiners and self entitled fan base in college football.

Ah, I see, so it's all a conspiracy orchestrated by those big bad Longhorns to put A&M down. How did we not all see this?
Funny... didn't Army win a national title or two DURING WWII?
You do know that Texas had men that enlisted during these wars as well, right? My grandfather, UTex class of '52, was literally on the front lines in Korea.
If there were "unlimited scholarships", how does that only benefit Texas? Wouldn't all other schools have unlimited scholarships? Maybe if your school wasn't so shitty and miserable, there would be guys that sign up to play football there instead of being 4th-string at Texas, right? Did you ever wonder that your racist, cultish redneck school was not, and still is not near as desirable as the flagship school residing in the capital city?
Ah yes, right before Jackie $herill began his illustrious tenure. Ever wonder why in A&M's greatest era against Texas (10-1 from 1984-1994) resulted in A&M having multiple probations, bowl bans, tv bans, etc...? A&M was cheating. Take away A&M's "cheating record" during those 11 years (or those last 36 years you very conveniently cherry-picked), and their record as self proclaimed "rival" is even more mediocre than it already stands.
Take a nap, squirt. Your tantrum did not get the point across you thought it would
ETA: HOLY shite, even your AD is terrified. Man, I had no idea Texas had taken this much of a psychology effect on A&M fans and administration

And yet, for all of your lack of concern, you are worrying about what is said about aTm.

Lol hardly any of that was truth and I think you misunderstood my laughing and pity for you as salt and anger.
The records don't lie...when Texas plays Texas A&M, they win almost 70% of the time. And when Texas plays A&M in this century, they win 75% of the time
A&M was just as dirty in the 80s and 90s.
