There was a famous sports writer in Austin named Robert Heard... He actually wrote a book called "When Football Becomes War"... about Oklahoma vs. Texas. Dude was not only famous as a writer... but he also pulled out some injured people out of the line of fire in the 1966 tower shooting at Texas. So he was known as a hero in Texas for that. Anyway, he wrote an article right after Barry Switzer was forced to resign and said exactly that. That now that Switzer was gone... "OU would never beat Texas again." And during the first part of the Gary Gibbs area at OU... It looked like he was going to be correct.

Honestly, I don’t think it has much bearing on A&M one way or another. Same can be said of Texas.

Kids in Texas for the most part grow up either an Aggie or a Longhorn. The outcome of a football game doesn’t sway anything as far as us influencing each others recruits. The schools are culturally very different and we typically draw very different types of recruits and players.

And I am not talking about talent. Not even work ethic. It’s beyond that.

Now we draw recruits from the OU teams and the LSU teams and such but we don’t actually recruit each others players often because they are usually very biased one way or another from an early age.

So is it a rivalry? I don’t really think it is like it is for LSU. We want to beat Texas because we do hate you guys.

But we really don’t care about what Texas does. In fact many of us are fine to not even play you as long as we can play the rest of the SEC.

I guess some like the tradition but it’s not all that really as far as affecting our recruiting and progress as a program.

So no, I don’t care all that much about the playing the games. Now that we have to play I want to win, but if we didn’t play that would be fine.

From $440 last Saturday to $480 now on the low end. This game might break all time ticket sales price records two years in a row depending on how things shake out.
