Holy shite, man. If A&M fans don’t care about renewing the game, then we sure don’t care about some unsolicited opinion from someone “without an allegiance”.

You must think this schtick sounds good when practicing in the mirror, but it sure doesn’t seem convincing on here.

You can’t make this stuff up....

What my university does has no effect on yours.

It’s not a “bluff;” both teams have been booked, in terms of OOC schedules (and bad blood) when the other was ready to come to the table..
They can attempt to make us “look” any way they want ; no skin off our nose.

Texans are split between A&M. UTex, Tech, Baylor, TCU, UH, SMU, Rice, Texas State, Sam Houston, SFA, UTEP, North Texas, and a whole host of out of state schools.

Few people outside of Aggies/Horns graduates bemoan the current lack of the series.

Again, it’ll return eventually.
It hasn’t even been a decade yet.
Let sleeping dogs lie.

Oh please, even the OP of this thread who is not an aggie or a longhorn gets it. It's not that hard to understand.

Even if we scheduled the sips and beat them most years, it would still be in their advantage currently. Time will pass and the game will eventually come back (probably), but for now we'll let them wallow in their delusional arrogance and all that comes with it.

You are playing Texas.
Every time one of us step into the field you are vicariously stepping onto the field as a SEC school.

You want Georgia, LSU and Alabama to take care of Texas for you.

This is what I see and what a lot of people see

The title is a correct statement.

It did change. But it also coincided with arguably the worst 4 year period of UT football in the 100+ year history of UT.

While the football program was wondering the desert, UT built a new Medical School on campus, a small portion of the $3 Billion dollar fund raising campaign. That’s Billion, with a “B”. As the Flagship University of the State of Texas, academics is always the priority.

Now, Texas Athletics is focused on getting back to where they belong.

Go to “Surly Horns”, one of the Texas websites, and read about the current state of recruiting though the eyes of aggy. Lots of bullshite on here like most sites, but look at the comments for the last week, starting here:

Warning: This is a black hole of aggy meltdown, 1000+ posts in less than a week, lots of screen shots from aggy pay sites. 2 hours will pass before you know it.

Aggy opened the door for the traditional SEC to come skim some of the cream of the crop of Texas HS athletes.

Aggy got a honeymoon bump w/ Jimbo last year, but this year and next, Texas is gonna knock their little dick on the dirt.

Doesn't sound like everything is going great for A&M.
Thank you for the link. They are a rather delusional fanbase who expects us to make them look good.
The truth is that only Texas A&M can make themselves look good. Wrapping themselves around the SEC isn't the way and they still haven't figured it out.

One thing that never gets old is the aggy paranoia. I remember back on Texags when y'all thought every other poster was some dude named Patch. I guess Randy is the new aggy boogeyman.

So salty since we waxed that arse.
Take it easy. You’re the only UGA poster I know with that much hatred in your heart for us.

The title statement can't be denied, but given the events of the last few weeks it's a pretty funny time for aggy to be boasting about their recruiting success.

Considering all the hate that aggydom is throwing at UGA for "laying down" against us, it's odd to see one of them voice such fervent support.

I’m so glad y’all told TU and Their network to kick rocks. The arrogance of the deals they had in place was just incredible. Was good to see it all collapse on them when y’all came to the SEC.

So Aggy needed the SEC to do the work for them. Got it.

The SEC became great because schools earned it not the SEC.
By adding a school who doesn't get it the SEC has added a runt who wants to be a big dog.

I dont know what's funnier.

All the Texas alters, or the fact that theyll be gone after LSU stretches their assholes to Aggie size.

The data points and analysis as it relates to Texas/A&M had some credibility in 2015, check the trends from 2016-current & the article loses its punch.

A&M had the sustained momentum and blew it, the JFF Heisman season/top 5 ranking is all they have to show for it. Sumlin had lightning in a bottle while Texas was comatose & pissed it away.
