Well, that's pretty avoidable in the Big 12. When you worry about Tech and TCU being your tough games that need to be scheduled with care, that tells you all you need to know about that league


Yeah... because the SEC only has good teams like Arkansas and Tennessee!

We’re all robbed. Play the game...the majority of the SEC is playing their in state rival. And I agree, Mizzou needs to play Kansas.

Again, are you slow?

It isn’t our choice to not be playing them this week. So telling us does what, renews the game? Over....and over.....and over.

The situations are a tad dissimilar.
And to be blunt: We don’t particularly care what others do.
Let it go.
Happy Thanksgiving.

You were robbed when you gift wrapped a victory to the Ags with your traffic cone of a QB.

Why are the Aggies scared to play their instate rivals


Just to be clear, and I believe I speak for both fan bases here, but when Texas and Oklahoma decided to "take control over the future of the Big 12 and make it appear to the rest of us like they were doing us a favor" A&M and Mizzou extended one arm, held up our fist, lifted our middle finger, and told the Big 12 to ___________________.

Texas ran like a scared little girl from Texas AM when the Aggies joined the SEC. In fact the rest of the Big 12 (I think) refused to play Texas AM. Kansas dropped Mizzou when they joined. So it is not Texas AM and Missouri's fault they do not play their old rivals.

If I was a Texas AM fan, I would NEVER want to schedule Texas in anything, why help their recruiting and national exposure? Honestly, how many time has Texas been on National TV this year, and how many times has Texas AM?

Accurate.

That’s how most Ags feel. The fact that they are now begging to play us demonstrates their exposure and schedule problem. I just think the game would be a net positive for A&M, like the UF/FSU game has been for UF and FSU.

Facts.

NU & CU were ahead of the curve.

tu basically bullied the rest of the conference to boycott A&M and MU because they thought it would hurt us. They have no idea how big of an impact being in the SEC would be.

This is a Tide fan that knows exactly what happened! Kudos to you. The legislators in Kansas City put up a big stink about Mizzou going to the SEC because they felt it would hurt their economy as, apparently, that Mizzou-kansas game brought in big bucks to the city. Mizzou told the city the game could continue despite the different conferences, citing that Iowa and Iowa State play each year, George and Georgia Tech play each year.

But then Bill Self got involved and said kansas should never schedule Mizzou in anything again, and since basketball reigns supreme in kansas, that what went down.

Or so that is they way I understand it.

You run away from a yearly automatic game with a team and yet it's not your fault that you don't play that team?

How fricking bizarre.

We didn’t run away from that game.
We joined a far superior athletic conference—for reasons that had nothing to do with UTex.
It was a huge and very lucrative business investment in Texas A&M’s future.
Nothing personal, but some of you horns need to get over yourselves.

You say run away. We say upgrade to a better, more competitive, and financially lucrative conference. Sorry you didn’t get an invite.

Only running we did was to the A&M sideline to say frick you one last time on their way to the SEC. Couldn't beat the derp Case McCoy on their own field with Ryan Tannehill at QB. In the series, Texas A&M has won 22 games in College Station, Texas has won 26... It is a massacre in Austin.



A&M conference record in the Big 12: 68-61
Missouri conference record in the Big 12: 63-66

A&M conference record in the SEC: 29-26
Missouri conference record in the SEC: 26-29

Ain't nothing changed but the dates on the calendar. Oh, A&M did find a new and improved dad in Alabama. I'd just like to say congratulations in advance to Texas A&M on Alabama's soon to be 18th National Title.

No tradition? lmao

Boys that don't like girls? TAMU has more female students than UK has total enrollment. If there really is a large group of the dudes that aren't competition, it only makes things better for the rest.

I've lived in KY most of my life, lexington is full of nothing but soft bois. The women though

Why mention the race of who Jimbo's wife committed adultery with? That's racist AF.

It must be weird disliking a school more than liking your own. Yall and auburn are the only two schools I can think of who do that
