re: How does it feel to be an LSU fan and watch your bitter rival do more with less?

But the Aggies say they are LSU’s bitter rival.

I don’t think Arkansas is a blood rival anymore. They should have gotten OU as a permanent rival instead of Texas. Their campuses are geographically closer than they are to any other SEC campus. Pittman got that right.

Texas does not feel intimidated playing in Kyle Field, their crowd incites our teams more than it does their own.

You are correct.

OU, Texas, and 4 others go the last 8 weeks without a bye.
re: What % of your school’s enrollment comes from inside the SEC footprint?
Posted by The Orange Bull on 12/12/25 at 5:42 pm to Gunny Hartman
No. At Texas, only the top 5% of Texas High School graduates get automatic admission, Dow from the original 10%, to 7%, now to 5%, not sure what those numbers are at A&M. Texas kept raising it because automatic qualifiers were taking almost all of the freshman slots. I believe now 75% are automatic qualifiers, 10% international, 15% admitted under other qualifications.

Agree, but if the playoffs expand to 16 or 24 teams, the playoffs will have to start almost as soon as the regular season is over. Championship games will have to go away.

Texas once had a compact with Louisiana to allow Louisiana kids attend the Vet School at A&M with in-state tuition. Almost all of the older Vets in Louisiana went to A&M. That ended when LSU opened its own Vet school.

I have my doubts. I believe 75% of the freshman class at Texas is reserved to the top 5% of seniors in their high school classes in state.

The Texas Constitution provided for The University of Texas. The campus in Austin remains The University of Texas. The Agricultural and Mechanical College, which opened in 1876, was almost closed as ‘unnecessary’ by the Legislature when The University opened in 1883. The College has been trying to position itself as an equal for decades. The Law School and Medical Schools were part of The University. A&M wanted a law school, the Coordinating Board said our state had too many law schools and lawyers, so A&M bought Texas Wesleyan’s. They wanted to have a larger enrollment, so they bought Blinn Junior College’s branch in Bryan, made it a part of A&M for freshmen and sophomores who couldn’t qualify for admission to the College Station, and Voila, they now have a larger enrollment and turned the College into a diploma mill. A&M desperately wants to be us, but they ain’t us. We are The University of Texas. A&M is just another university in Texas.
