Two good schools. It's a shame they both suck at football.


How'd you guys look when you faced BAMA? Aggies looked pretty good! They also beat y'all when you played A&M last.

But 13 days ago is pretty far back in the past. I mean, that was barely even 2 days into this current month!



We certainly had problems at QB for a couple of games. No doubt. Let’s see how our seasons end up.

Your might want to note, our record since going the SEC, is better that yours in the Big12 over the same period.

I know that period doesn’t fit your narrative, but we’ve done better than you since being in a tougher conference. That’s a fact.

One you’ll probably dispute with some kind of reference to glory days prior to that.

A&M now has the best student body and game day atmosphere in college football, and plays in the best conference and makes the most money, while the sips are a bunch of has-beens trying to re-live their glory days.



Dang, it sounds like y'all have been crushing it the last 10 years. Surely you have some trophies to corroborate your story?

Actually, A&M is the bigger school now, and will continue to expand and grow. We aren't land-locked like the sips. It's also the older school.

Texas is a fine school, but the writing is on the wall. In ten years or less A&M will have more money on an annual basis, and that won't change




Let's get back to this beauty. Please qualify for the record.

You’re consistently a liar. A&M was never designated to be a branch of Texas University. A&M was founded 11 years prior. The Texas Constitution doesn’t day that. A&M was established under the Morrill Land Grant Act provisions. Had nothing to do with Texas. A&M is recognized as the first public university in Texas. It’s the only land, sea and space grant university in Texas. One of only six designated senior military colleges in the country, along with the largest campus and student body. Tu’s contributions to the military officer Corp and the Nation’s wars is negligible compared to A&M’s. Even Texas football record is bullshite. Most of their record was run up during war years when Aggies were in the military. Take those years away, and it’s pretty even. And now the Whorns are following the Aggies again. So yeah, they are pretty much the “little brother” by any metric.

I always thought UT could buy and sell A&M. Are you saying Little Brother is the successful one?

Article VII, Section 13 of the Texas Constitution
Texas Constitution > Article VII
Adopted February 15, 1876:

The Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas, established by an Act of the Legislature passed April 17th, 1871, located in the county of Brazos, is hereby made, and constituted a Branch of the University of Texas, for instruction in Agriculture, the Mechanic Arts, and the Natural Sciences connected therewith. And the Legislature shall at its next session, make an appropriation, not to exceed forty thousand dollars, for the construction and completion of the buildings and improvements, and for providing the furniture necessary to put said College in immediate and successful operation.

Check out the Texas A&M Foundation, and the donations during COVID in a down year. It continues to grow more and more every year, and A&M is pumping out an average of 15K students more a year than Texas, and growing. Most of those actually donate to both the school and athletics.

So in just ten years time you are talking about 150K more graduates that regularly donate to the school, and that is on the conservative side. Good luck keeping up sips!

UCF route? Texas finally figured out that they HAD to leave the B12 or they really would be as irrelevant as they have been on the football field. Still, it's okay sips. Sometimes, you just cannot win. I myself was surprised to find out how large A&M has become

In ten years, the differences will become even more apparent.

Both are great schools. A&M has fared well in the SEC and UT hopes to emulate the success. Not a bad things for these two schools to fare well.

You have exceeded my expectations of stupidity.


Initially I thought you were referencing operating revenue, but no... in all of your divine wisdom you've chosen endowment.

At a rate of a $100,000 annual donation per excess graduate A&M would not surpass UT in a decade nor would it come close.

You are a mental midget.

Texas has:

-Better athletics
-Better academics
-More money

I love this confident facade y'all are putting up but it's really hard to take it seriously.
