re: Aggy Board OT Discussion Thread

Don't celebrate too much. Its the off season.


Its boring AF

Just a little tidbit from the Bush School. Each year the Bushwackers play the LBJ school from t.u. in a softball game for the Dillo Cup, and the title was successfully defended today 11-6. Now I understand why t.u. is scared to play A&M in anything.

Hell yes

Since I'm on the subject of the Aggies, the cold war between the two schools has continued to escalate tensions on both sides and recently there's been a lot written about the rivalry. A lot of the articles are simply trolling for clicks in college football's silly season, but some are worth a retort.

Recently there was an article written inquiring or insinuating that Texas may be afraid to play the Aggies for a number of reasons. We know this to be unfounded ridiculousness because ESPN stats and info reviewed the schedules of every Power 5 college football program and concluded Texas has the toughest non-conference schedule over the next five seasons.

Choosing not to play the Aggies and being afraid to play the Aggies are totally different things. Steve Patterson has stated openly he has no interest in renewing the rivalry because it doesn't fit his plans to grow the Texas brand, and I agree. Simply put, if it doesn't make dollars, then it doesn't make sense to the Texas men's athletic director (that's why I call him OG Stevie P.).

Another column on the Texas vs. Texas A&M series suggested the Aggie football program had surpassed the Longhorn football program as of late. The harsh reality for both sides of this now defunct rivalry is both teams deserved better than what that rivalry provided at the time.

It was a rarity to have both teams ranked in the top-25 when they played (only three times in the Mack Brown era) and the rivalry had dissolved into a regional affair. The sad, inconvenient, unfortunate truth for Aggies is it's still hard for them to accept is Texas upgraded to a better rival decades ago.

If you ask any Longhorn fan what college program they have more competitive hatred for, most will say the Sooners, which means that's your rival. The Aggies became Texas' mistress, our sidepiece, our gumar; the Sooners became Texas' nationally recognized rival.


A throwaway comment by Strong was recently turned into a t-shirt, which is par for the course for the Aggies of late. (Photo: Brendan Maloney, USA TODAY Sports)
Like Beyonce, we upgraded and even Aggies would admit that. The Aggies became irritated and frustrated being the other rival, and they decided that they deserved better. The SEC was their upgrade.

Texas deserved a blueblood/mega-power as its national rival, and the Aggies deserved better than to be the other woman. Both programs deserved better and both teams upgraded.

Alas, that seems to mean little to the folks on one side trying to constantly one-up the other.

Daylon Mack seems to be quite the entrepreneur and has gotten into the t-shirt making business. He recently took a quote from a Charlie Strong media availability and decided to make a pro-Aggie shirt from it that was quite clever.

The quote on the t-shirt was taken out of context and was said jokingly. When asked about renewing the Texas/TexasA&M rivalry, Coach Strong's responses in question appeared to be said in jest.

“Let me win some games first,” he told ESPN.com's Chris Low. “Then I can push it. I don’t know if I want to go walking into College Station right now.”

The last part of that quote where Coach Strong mentions not wanting to walk into College Station right now was the quote Mack placed on the front of a maroon t-shirt. This upset a lot of Longhorn fans.

Why? It's no different than my ex-girlfriend trashing me on Facebook. It's been years since we broke up, but she's still obsessed with me. That t-shirt isn't a diss to Texas; it's a subconscious compliment from the Aggies.

They miss us.
