Lurking since 2006.

The majority of the difference boils down to us paying less for a defensive coordinator. I have no idea if the new guy is going to work or not, but paying out of 1.85M for that atrocious defense is both unsustainable and unforgivable.

27-10 dogs.

I have indeed read the book; good stuff. But not good enough to wipe away those old terrible memories from 1969… :banghead:

Did you really just use a HGTV show to hype Waco?


Uhhh no. Merely stating the obvious—that Waco will be fine either way.

As an Arkansas fan who has lived in Texas for years, I don’t really care which team gets to be called “UT.”

But rest assured that the only folks here in Texas ithat call them “TU” are the Aggies

All of the whining about “backroom deals“ seems a bit ironic to me. When A&M came into the conference, they immediately used power and “backroom deals” to displace Arkansas from our traditional Thanksgiving Friday game with LSU. And then we were forced to play Missouri with some type of made up award that nobody cares about.

That really pissed me off because at that time A&M had never consistently beaten Arkansas and was clearly our little brother in pretty much every sport. But money talks, and we got screwed. It was at that point that I had to acknowledge that Ark is a stepchild in the SEC just like we were in the SWC. But I guess that’s the way it is and we can do nothing but move on.

The tables are now turned, Tx and OU have more power than A&M, and now you Ags are on the receiving end of the screwing.

It isn’t fun, is it?

As a lifelong Arkansas fan, I can readily admit I would like to play Texas every.single.year

Why??

My reasons are totally irrational. I hate the Texas Longhorns athletic programs. I hate everything about them. And over the years, there are far too many times they have beaten us and destroyed our dreams of great seasons. So for those very stupid reasons, I would love to play them every year and beat them, and pay them back.

You Texas Ags focus much of your culture on Texas. My God, your damn War Hymn talks about University of Texas. Texas is in your heads from the beginning of your indoctrination of new incoming students. Texas hatred is a part of your cultural DNA.

Yet You Ags speak of honor and culture and integrity. I like what you stand for. But when I see you rationalize why you won’t play Texas, I absolutely believe it is because you are scared they might beat you. And your fragile egos can’t handle that possibility

Texas has beaten Arkansas far too many times over the years( not to mention Bama and TAMU lately.)

And they might beat us this year

And we will still look to play them every chance we get.

I respect TAMU immensely; but with this issue, you seem petty and small. Y’all need to grow your balls back.

IF we catch fire and go to the sweet 16, the answer is yes. If not...no

This program should be a conference contender most years and a national contender when we get hot. We are a notch below that in my opinion. I don’t think we should be Kentucky or another traditional power, but we should be pretty close most years.

TAMU has tons of money. No doubt about that at all. But you don't have more than UT(the burnt orange bunch in Austin)

And all that money hasn't really done much for Texas lately. Just saying

I honestly don't get the money smack talk coming from the aggies. I really thought y'all were better than that
