This came up the other day too Droski. Let me try to explain what some folks were saying. t.u. really does hate to lose to us. They dont particularly hate "us". But they hate to lose to us.

I'm sure they do consider you rivals, but hating to lose to teams doesn't necessarily make you rivals. We hate losing to South Carolina, but UT and USCjr aren't rivals.

Its similiar I suppose, but remember, this is in state. Its more along the lines of what goes on down in Florida, with the gators, thug U, and the Noles.

i'm not trying to be an arse, but don't you think at least a couple of the recent victories against texas were because A&M cared about the game a lot more than texas?

I believe that the 2007 loss prevented texas from playing for the big 12 championship, so I would argue that they cared in that game.

What has changed since then is Mack Brown's philosophy on many things, including playing the best player rather than most senior, i.e. opening up competition, eliminating the unsuccessful co-(D)-coordinator approach, and, in general, being more of a hardarse.

However, there are some things that work in A&M's favor this year, including playing on a short week, playing at hone, the national spotlight, ahd having nothing to lose. If anyone is going to be tight, its texas. It may not matter, but I expect the game to be close at halftime.

It doesn't necessarily help texas that they've yet to play a good team this year, with the possible concession of Okie St, particularly if A&M executes well and plays inspired football. In other words, I don't really consider texas to be battle tested and fought through adversity yet this season.

I agree with everything you said with one exception General. Our televised games have been dismal to say the least, but they were also all on the road.

On the other hand;

Kyle field has been well protected this season.

I guess my point was that this game will have the full and undivided attention of the Aggies. Not a game on the schedule you'd rather win than this one!

Agreed. Beating tceh in the crap hole that is Lubbock was pretty good though. That got a big monkey off our back.

But t.u. will always be the game of the year for us.

Plus, it would be sooooo nice to screw up their shot at a NCG. ahem.........again.

My dad went to Texas. From what I've always understood Oklahoma and Texas A&M are their main rivals

Weren't both of those teams good (or more decent then A&M currently is) at those times though?

you're also responsible for the 13-0 branding that gave the Texas mascot it's name Bevo

you should post a picture of that if it's somewhere

It's funny how a fanbase can talk smack about a team that has owned them throughout the entire history of their "rivalry". It would be like Vandy, Kentucky, or USCjr talking crap to Tennessee.

That's just what a rivalry means. Mutalistic disdain for one another. I thought we cleared all this up t-shirt. What gives?




tuck fexas. always. forever.

Well boys, I've come to the end of my work week. I'll leave it to yall the rest of the Holiday Weekend. I hope the Vols hang the speed limit on Kensucky. I hope yall all have a great time on Thanksgiving and everyone has time to visit with family, friends, and loved ones. Enjoy your week!

I'll add lastly, that I hope like hell that my Ags beat the ever living crap outta t.u. I love this time of year and look forward to this game everytime football season starts. It's a speacial atmosphere around the town here and folks are geared up! I'm sure the team will be too. Win, or run out of time, I hope to see a great game. I wouldnt expect any of you to not give me a hard time if it doesnt turn our way, but one thing remains. I will always despise t.u. and there's not much anyone can do to change that. With that, I'll say;

Gig em Aggies!
BTHO t.u.


"Good bye to texas university
So long to the orange and the white
Good luck to dear old Texas Aggies
They are the boys who show the real old fight
'the eyes of Texas are upon you'
That is the song they sing so well
Sounds Like Hell
So good bye to texas university
We're gonna beat you all to Chigaroogarem

Fair enough. The fact that you are mentioned in their fight song should be a good enough reason to be considered their rival.

I'm not arguing the rivalry or its nature, but under that logic shouldn't georgia tech consider alabama a rival?
