Yeah we are lucky to be playing in the SEC bc it's and easier conference. Im glad we stepped down from the B12 to the SEC.

I know you're saying that in jest but from top to bottom the Big 12 has been the best conference and toughest conference for the past 5 years and this isnt even up for debate
Sure the sec has nice winning streak going on but they are top heavy its lsu, bama, florida then the rest, hell you guys are proving that. A mid level big 12 team that never really saw any success while here, is competitive its first year in the sec

what board are you on again?
I laugh at the aggies thinking the nation will tune in on saturday. I guess everyone will ignore ND and USC. You won't get the highest ratings in your conference, any takers on that bet?

I stand corrected VaHorn, you go back to feeling sorry for A&M that they play on Saturday and make sure you keep whistling past the graveyard

thats really neat that you get to play on saturday, that must make you feel special...

I find it odd that you guys still think about us so much and not give credit where its due. I wont even waste my time arguing with irrational people like some of you guys all im saying is its not bad to admit it HURTS AND BURNS that MOST OF YOU were WRONG!... I LOVE THE FACT THAT DEEP DOWN YOU KNOW WE ARE A BETTER TEAM WITH A HEISMAN FRONTRUNNER THAT WOULD MOST LIKELY BLOW YOU OUT!... YOU WOULD BE FLAT OUT DUMB NOT TO REALIZE THAT... i come in peace i have alot of respect for Texas and always will but come on guys some of you sound like A&M is 2-8 or whatever and thats not the case...

I read this and think, poor aggy. Truth be told, we don't hate you. You are interchangable with Tech. Sometimes you beat us and it was annoying when you did. Hate is reserved for OU, even Arkansas. We do think you are weird and we do make fun, but that isn't because of hate. It is because you are weird as shit. Imagine if the Branch Davidians had a school and a football team?

i get your point yet we are still always talked about here... you can think we are weird as shit make fun of "aggy" or whatever it is you all do im not a redneck truck driving farmer or anything of that sort.. so i guess it doesnt bother me when you make fun of "us".. yet what i find funny is that i read this and think, poor tu. There is multiple threads about A&M, Johnny Manziel and the SEC here and practically none of tu, David Ash and the Big 12 on ours. Good luck with TCU i have my money on you guys!

When asked today about not playing the Aggies on Thursday, the senior defensive end had this to say:
“I feel sorry for A&M,” Okafor said. “We still have a big-time game and they're missing out.”

Do you guys not see the irony here, in these kind of post???
Texas' players and fan base feels bad for A&M, as if A&M is sitting around hurting for the game, while Texas plays Purple Baylor... unranked, losing conf. record, Purple Baylor...
Take a step back and look at the topics on this board. Now go take a look at the topics on the A&M board.
If you're really being objective, you can see that there are 5-6 posted topics on this board discussing A&M for every 1 topic discussing the University of Texas on the A&M site.
Our players arent talking about the Thanksgiving game and the fans dont care about it...not because we didnt enjoy the game while it lasted but because A&M really doesnt need the game as much as Texas does...whether any of you will admit it or not. We're playing nationally relevant games on a regular basis and you guys are playing Iowa State, Baylor, Purple Baylor, Kansas etc etc etc... A&M's playing Bama and LSU on CBS, ESPN etc and you guys are on the LHN playing the Cyclones.
Texas' fans and players are sitting around trying to convince yourselves about things like:
-TCU not being a drop off from playing A&M on Thanksgiving (you dont have to admit it but you know this is a joke)
-Johnny Manziel being over-rated
-SEC being over-rated (I guess we'll find out when bowl season rolls around)
-Texas doesnt need A&M but A&M needs Texas.... (the media attention and topics like this suggest otherwise)
Etc...
It's absolutely killing Texas fans that A&M is getting more media attention and is doing just fine without "big brother"....
