Doesn't change the fact that they indeed finished 3rd behind LSU in the Western Division standings and also lost to LSU


As LSU so clearly proved on 1/9... Sometimes final standing is a bit more important than final SEC standing, no? Or should Bama be upset over finishing third in the SEC in 2011 when LSU finished first?

You don't have to be upset about anything.

You still finished 3rd.

It's a quote from a pay article on the Aggie 24/7 site.

Well if it's a pay site then the truth has been spoken.

Who's upset? The only ones who ever bring up the "you finished 3rd in the West" are trolls trying to downplay the season A&M had. Yes, we "finished third in the West" based on a head-to-head tiebreaker.

Who cares?

There's not an Aggie alive that would trade the season we had for the season LSU had. And I daresay if most LSU fans had their druthers, they would rather have lost to A&M, beat Bama, won their bowl, and finished 5th in the nation, even if meant they "finished third in the West".

Not trying to sound like an arse, but if I am a UF or LSU fan, I am damn glad I played A&M when I did. Before Johnny had any confidence in his passing abilities. We were clearly a different team in the second half of last season...experience for a freshman QB helps.

^ That's what started the whole shitshow.

This thread wasn't meant to be a LSU A&M trollfest. I just asked the guy what made him think Bama-A&M was the premiere rivalry in the SEC West and he answered me. And then one of your own started posting pics of the chicken bowl hence the "3rd place" talk. It's not like I came in here seeking to troll A&M.

If everyone would simply agree to the following premise, we would all get along:

Bama-LSU is the premiere rivalry in the west at the moment. I thought this was a gimme.....fricking A&M fans.

That was a rather provocative way to make a point, I'll grant you that.

Is A&M/Bama the premier rivalry in the West? One season, let alone one game, is not enough to make a rivalry, imo. Beating Bama was a good start. And if A&M beats Bama and LSU to win the West, I think you can start to talk about Bama/A&M being the #1 rivalry. (Particularly if LSU loses to Bama this year.)

But I think going forward, A&M/Bama/LSU/Auburn all are going to have the recruiting mojo such that you can't count any of them out. So I think there will be less focus on any one rivalry, and more just a general appreciation for a murderously competitive division.

We all know... I think the premise was based on the fact that the division comes down to the Aggies and the gumps this year, since LSU will severely regress... nothing more.
