The bigger embarrassment for the SEC was aTm being scared to play big bro in the cotton bowl during their "banner year".





It wasn't us that didn't want to play brah.

Besides, OU was the better team last year.

So why were you scared to play Texas forcing the Cotton Bowl to select OU instead?


Pull your dick out of your cousin and think.

Aggies accepted a bid to Cotton Bowl unconditionally. longwhorns run the bigwtf and if they wanted a piece of the Aggies it was there for those puzzies.

Little bro/big bro is a made a made up arbitrary thing that has no real meaning to me. So I give zero fricks if we are considered the middle bro.

Little bro has more Final Four appearances, CWS appearances, and we are in the drivers seat to win the NC, but Big Bro/Little Bro is decided by Football head to head?....Ok. Big Brother away

Usually the big brother is the "University of 'state name'" and the little brother has a directional or agricultural/tech/mechanical tag on it or is the name of a city in the state or is tagged with "state".

University of Alabama > Auburn University (city name)
University of Florida > Florida State University (state tag)
University of Georgia > Georgia Institute of Technology (tech tag)
University of Kentucky >University of Louisville (city name)
University of Michigan > Michigan State University (state tag)
University of Mississippi > Mississippi State University (state tag)
University of South Carolina > Clemson University (city name)
University of Texas > Texas Agricultural and Mechanical University (ag/mech tag)
University of Virginia > Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (tech tag)

Ole Miss has been more successful compared to KY in 2 of 3 of the major sports.


Kentucky has 11 Championships in 4 sports. They were playing football a decade before the rest of the SEC schools. They were once a private school (like Vandy) and are both a flagship and a Land Grant institution. They also have one of the most global brands in college sports. The endowments of Old Miss and State combined roughly equals that of UK. How are you making your comparison?

You just said Ole Miss leads because they have won more recently in basketball. You are contradicting yourself...

I was 100% sure this was leading into how LSU was Tulane's little brother in some way.

ETA: Or little brother to THE University of Louisiana




























Lafayette

I'll gladly be lil bro if it means beating our Big Bro's arse repeatedly, year after year for 25 plus years in basketball, forever in baseball, and pretty much 50% in football since the 80's.

A&M's situation is slightly different from most of those schools. A&M predates the university of Texas, was established before them and was the first public institution of higher learning in the state. Once t.u. was established later,
they tried to shut down and de-fund A&M via the state
legislature and legal maneuvers. That backfired on them when they had to give up a part of the PUF to us.

Texas u. is the little brother who was given everything after the parents felt guilty they couldn't help out the eldest son. Like real life, the older brother has to Buck up and tough it out while the younger brother is coddled into becoming an entitled douchebag. The hard work and perserverance of Aggies is paying off and we are beginning to eclipse Texas u. The research is a big deal because we're going to double the $amount of research done in Austin, soon. That is extremely important to us as a university.
