I mean, the SC-A&M series started during what has legitimately been one of our worst 10-11 year stretches in history, and that's saying something. Trust me, I wish we had started the series earlier (the league missed a Manziel vs Clowney game by 1 year). I'll go ahead and add some wins to our column.

So how many victories would you like added to the Aggies side of the ledger?
None.

Just saying that the comparison is not rational, because it excludes a dozen years with no games, when the Aggies were clearly and objectively better than the 'horns during those years.

If you want to make irrational arguments, feel free.

It’ll be a good game, and im looking forward to it.

Reminds me LSU/ Bama though. LSU wants the rivalry to be bigger than it is. Bama’s biggest rivalry is AU, just as Texas’ is Oklahoma.


Lol, no. Hell Texas and OU fans basically jerk each other off on this site 90% of the time. It's been a bigger game historically in terms of national significance but it's really much closer to the UF/UGA Rivalry and the Cocktail Party is essentially the same concept.

Texas absolutely loses their mind when they lose to A&M. A&M does to Texas what we did to LSU and Sark's seat is going to have flames under it.

Ok. Since talking about the results of games played on the field is “irrational” to Aggies, I’ll leave you to your delusions.

Texas is the only Flagship in Texas.

And by the same token, you will not see me crowing about my Aggies's record versus your Cocks for decades that they rarely played one another. It is not rational.

It's just facts. To be fair part of that is we have a Business School and Engineering School that are twice the size of yours while Texas graduates lots of LBGTQ Studies and Art History majors that work at Starbucks.

In the last 50 years, thr record is 18-18.

Only a jackass would claim its a one-sided rivalry because you won 30!of 34 70 yrs ago.

But thats Texas.

And A&M is 9-9 in Austin. After tomorrow, we'll have a winning record in your stadium in the midern era. So nice!

Unlike Aggies we’re capable of having individual opinions. Of course it’s a rivalry.

Imposition of scholarship limits, admission of large numbers of women to Texas A&M, and the removal of mandatory corp membership leveled the playing field.


No, it didn't. You have 1 national title, and it was before any of this happened.
