re: Texas and OU fans have to be thrilled to be joining the SEC

I never had any beef with Texas until it was announced they were coming to the SEC. The LSU vs Texas game in 2019 was the worst tailgate experience I've ever encountered. Fans were uppity and very vanilla. Everyone had to rent a tailgate tent to tailgate on campus. Their fans didn't even show up until 2hrs before game time. Texas Football is not SEC material...

Now do the Hex Rally:

Hex Rally (sometimes Texas Hex) was a pep rally at The University of Texas at Austin that occurred in the week before the annual football game between the Texas Longhorns and their in-state rivals, the Texas A&M Aggies.[1]

Or, explain why a football victory over any other scheduled opponent gets this:



But, ONLY if the victory is against A&M, it gets this:



We don't deny the existence of the markers indicating Texas is a rival, but Texas continuously tries to pretend it's one-sided.

We also have a rally for Oklahoma?

That has since changed after Texas no longer plays a&m, and the tower shines orange for a multitude of reasons.

And if anything, that kind of proves our point haha: A&M will sing an entire song about Texas when they're playing prarie view, alabama, auburn, florida, etc. They'll sing an entire song about Texas even when they're not playing them (or scheduled to play them, as they haven't been for over 10 years now)

This thing we did that indicated A&M is our biggest rival in football is not valid anymore because we don't play A&M in football.

Lol that was not the case because it simply never has been.

A&M was a big game even when one or neither of the teams were any good. I'm not going to deny that. But there's a reason we wouldn't go to the SEC without OU joining, and there's a reason we let A&M leave without a second thought

Just about every longhorn fan you poll, whether they've been a fan for 1 year or 50 years, would tell you that Oklahoma has always and will always be our bigger rival.

Unfortunately for Texas a&m, there is not one single team out there that considers the aggies as "the biggest game of the year, every year"

So, you're claiming that a win over A&M is NOT the only football game (other than a BDF championship) that gets a solid orange tower?

Might want to tell your school about that.

It's funny how accurate your post remains from OU's perspective if you replace 'Texas' with 'OU' and replace 'A&M' with 'OSU'

And the Cowboy fans absolutely hate us for that fact

This website did a lot of research on that very issue.

It's pretty cool actually: they poll students from schools around the nation and determine which rivalries have approximately the same amount of disdain for the other, and which ones are imbalanced (spoiler: the OU vs. OSU rivalry is one of the most imbalanced ones in the country )
