re: Texas vs Texas A&M Tickets

Imagine if Aggie were a top ten team THIS year.

Yeah know....that would make that game a true barn burner and easily the most watched game of the week.

I recall back in the 80's small town Texas, one of the first questions you're asked in middle school was if you were a Longhorn or Aggie....answer carefully depending on the audience...lol

I e already been shopping for tickets…prices are just unbelievable.

Yeah, imma pass on this one. If aggy were honorable people the game would be in DKR, but I do like the thought of returning to the scene of our eternal scoreboard win in 2011. Justin Tucker still going strong in the NFL btw.

I’m sure it’s just that the last game was played at Kyle Field so technically if this is resuming the regular series the game should be played in Austin.

When Bjork got blindsided by the longhorns and sooners coming into the conference he tried to save face by insisting that at least the first game will be played at Kyle on “our terms” or whatever. That was his small “victory”.

Funny that you say this..

The Big 12 isn't destroyed, but if it is destroyed some day, couldn't you also point the finger at Texas A&M? After all, they did leave first. Maybe Texas, Oklahoma and Texas A&M would still be in the Big 12 if A&M hadn't left. Food for thought.

Texas gets all the blame, but Texas A&M is at least partially responsible for the destruction of the SWC and potential destruction of the Big 12.

On that topic, Missouri had a role as well. If they wouldn't have gone looking for a B1G invite before Nebraska, perhaps the entire Big 12 is still all together. The original Big 12 was a pretty damn good conference. It isn't a behemoth like the 16 team SEC or 18 team B1G, but it was a damn good 12 team conference.

I bought 8 UT/UGA tickets in the upper deck of one end zone (the opposite end from the good beer garden LOL) for $315 each. 4 of us from Georgia, 1 from North Alabama (Tide Fan) and 1 from Central Florida (Gator Fan) and their 2 daughters one who is a UTSA grad and the other a Texas Tech grad. They have all promised me they would pull for UGA but I suspect the stinking Gator ain't got it in him to do.

They live about 45 miles or 8 hours south of Austin (if you know you know) so we plan on spending a week drinking and dancing in the Hill Country, maybe the best place on the planet for drinking and dancing. Looking forward to it. We will probably drive because airfare right now is outrageous. We are staying with them but rooms are also scarcer than hen's teeth....

I don't recall ever paying more for a regular season ticket but I have UGA season tickets so I can usually get away game tickets from someone in our circle. May get some better seats for the UT game but I doubt they'll be any cheaper. I sold our ND tickets for WAAAAAAYYYYYY more than $315 a few years ago. Same general seats except we are on about the 15 yard line on the home side.

Not even going to attempt to get tickets. This will be the biggest event in the history of Texas A&M's campus (at least since 2011), and I'm sure the prices will reflect that.

Uh... last I checked the Big 12 is very much alive and A&M left the SWC the exact same time Texas did?

Hilarious lack of self-awareness from an aggie here given the way your fanbase acts despite not winning any championship in a major men's sport since Hitler invaded Poland (and not even a football conference title in over a quarter of a century)
