SEC blocking UT-Aggy bowl game?

[djohn2oo8]

Here is what Brown reported...
"SEC officials have indicated to bowls with SEC and Big 12 tie-ins that the SEC won’t support a Texas vs Texas A&M postseason matchup. In short, A&M has too much to lose from a potential loss.

A&M was never the one who wanted to stop playing the game. Anytime anyplace was the exact quote by A&M after the conference move. That hasn't changed.

While it's true that Texas has much more to gain by a matchup in a bowl game right now, A&M or the SEC wouldn't decline the offer if it came about :lol

Yeah, the SEC schedules tough OOC opponents. :lol

and the big12 has the easiest schedule of all with no championship game and three bye weeks each. See how easy it is. Stupid.

Eh...I don't know if I buy it. It seems like Chip might be stirring the pot. It would be big money/ratings for both conferences. If anything, I'd think both would be bending over backwards to make it happen.

I believe the notion that A&M wouldn't be as thrilled for obvious reasons. A&M has been very inconsistent on the field this year and Texas has much more to gain out of the matchup at the moment but A&M would accept the bid in a heartbeat without thinking twice if it were to happen. Nobody is declining anything :lol

This.

UT has nothing to really lose here. But if Aggie loses? :lmao it will exponentially accelerate the inevitable outcome of Aggy being relegated to SEC doormat, just like they were B12 doormat, and also accelerate the decline of their recruiting as everyone will start going back to UT as usual. It's a habitual cycle. Every 15-20 years, aggy has a few good years which give a boost to their recruiting as the next big school to explode, then they fall back into irrelevance, back into their normal place as UT whipping boy. Aggyfans should just be thankful that they lucked out on Johnny.

Seems like a reach. Although I don't understand why either school decided not to keep the rivalry as a non-conference game each year. I'm not familiar with the history or the reasons why, but c'mon the two biggest schools in one of the best CFB states? Florida/FSU, Georgia/Tech, Clemson/SC, Notre Dame/USC are all out of conference games that are played each year and generate tons of interest and usually result in good football games.

The boards ≠ A&M Brass. If that were the case, Sumlin would have never been hired, Strong would have never been hired, Popovich would have been fired, etc.

Of course the fans are worried about a matchup vs Texas, we are a very average team this year and have the most to lose. It makes sense.

As far as what A&M would do, it's ridiculous to believe that A&M would reject a bid to a bowl game because they would be matched up vs Texas. That makes no sense seeing that A&M has been willing to put Texas back on the schedule whenever Texas gets over the move in conferences.

[Thompson]

This would be the same Chip Brown that said there was 'absolutely no truth' to the rumor that A&M was going to the SEC?

And isn't Texas the one that declined the Cotton Bowl invite to play A&M a couple years ago?

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for Brown's 'sources' to come forward and confirm any of this. He's trolling for attention. An A&M-Texas game would be an enjoyable end to an otherwise abysmal season. And as long as Myles Garrett is back he'd get to Swoopes; I think A&M would handle them fairly easily - but what are the odds the matchup happens unless A&M loses to LSU and Texas beats TCU?

So easy to revise history. Google/wikipedia/ESPN.com/etc believe it went down differently.

OU dropped out of potential Orange Bowl when Northern Illinois finished with 12-1 and took their expected BCS opportunity (Orange Bowl had to take NU with last selection due to NU making top 14). This dropped OU to the Cotton Bowl. The Cotton Bowl couldn't justify taking 8-4 Texas over OU team everybody thought would play in BCS bowl. Of course before this happened people thought Texas would be the top choice.

Now if you did say our AD expressed not wanting to play Ags if scenario came up you'd be correct. Although I was never a fan of Dodds at least he had the balls to publicly state he didn't want to play the game instead of saying it only in backdoor meeting rooms while publicly stating he wanted the matchup.

[pgardn]

and the big12 has the easiest schedule of all with no championship game and three bye weeks each. See how easy it is. Stupid.

South Dakota St.

Texas could be in the SEC championship with this ridiculously easy schedule. How Fkn horrible is this...
I understand why Aggy and the SEC might want no part of UT now without the article. We, UT, did a very stupid thing not keeping the ATM game going. Trying without AGgIe accepting would have been fine with me.

But please don't bring up SEC schedules... The above is absolute crap. Yes, it's Missouri, a contender... Pitiful.

If you want to state that there is some sort of SEC conspiracy where they would keep the matchup from happening than that's one thing. I can't refute that claim just like you can't prove it. That is what Chip Brown (lol) has been claiming. He isn't claiming that A&M is avoiding or afraid to play.

Hey, if A&M doesn't want to play Texas I respect that. Hell we're 6-5 and why risk all the talk and WRTS stuff will all that on the line. Not to mention Texas long stated via Deloss (and likely a majority of fan base) they didn't want to play Ags. You'd have great rational reasons to avoid the matchup. But at least have the balls to state if from you admin instead of hiding behind the SEC. It's sad. But I guess it's just all semantics, if Ags and Texas both wanted game to happen it would happen. But hey, if having SEC be bad cop and you play good cop marketing agenda works best then hide behind it. And hey, believe it yourself and put in more laughing emojis to make yourself feel better. But you're not going to convince the average football fan across the country that's it's not BS.

:lol yeah you nailed it. A&M big wigs are shaking in their boots about a 6-6 Texas squad. How the mighty have fallen I tell ya. If the SEC doesn't want the game then the SEC doesn't want the game. You can take Chip Browns word on that one; not like the guy has a history of making false claims :lol. Nobody from A&M is blocking or avoiding any game vs Texas.

If Texas calls A&M right now and wants to be added to next years schedule on thanksgiving, A&M would find a way to do it. We have not backed down from that stance at all since we moved conferences.

[DesignatedT]

Believe what you want though. You guys backed out of a game and turned down the Cotton Bowl in 2013 and I guess were turning down the Texas bowl in 2014 :lol Keep driving up those Chip Brown ratings on 104.9 my friend.

COLLEGE STATION – Texas A&M has an answer to some speculation from outsiders that the Aggies are perhaps “ducking” an opportunity to play one-time rival Texas in the Advocare V100 Texas Bowl: No, they’re not.

Allow A&M athletic director Eric Hyman, whom I visited with at the A&M women’s basketball game on Wednesday night, to explain.

“Quite frankly, that’s a decision made by the conference,” said Hyman, who was taking in No. 5 A&M’s 76-55 whipping of Rice in Reed Arena. “The configuration is so different than it’s been in the past. They ask us to rank the bowls, and they ask the bowls to rank us. The (SEC) then ranks all the different teams from that, and that’s how the selection will be made.

“It doesn’t matter if I speculate about playing this team or that team in a bowl. It’s out of our control. … Wherever they tee us up, we’ll play

Big 12 teams play 9 conference games, every team in the conference, and 3 OOC games.

SEC teams play 8 conference games, schedule W. Carolina, Samford, Charleston Southern, UL Monroe, etc etc in fucking November. And the SEC east is about as tough at the ACC

Quit with the bullshit.

[DesignatedT]

SEC teams play 8 conference games, schedule W. Carolina, Samford, Charleston Southern, UL Monroe, etc etc in fucking November. And the SEC east is about as tough at the ACC



The big 12 has three bye weeks. SEC has two bye weeks. Playing an non-conf game in November makes up for that.

Florida plays Florida State every year, Georgia plays Georgia Tech, South Carolina - Clemson, A&M - Texas?, Kentucky - Louisville. Most SEC teams that do not have a in state OOC rivals to play schedule viable non conf opponents for example, this year: Auburn -K State, Bama - West Va, Georgia - Clemson, LSU - Wisconsin, Arky - Tech, Ole Miss - Boise.

If you cherry pick and look hard enough you can find a random schedule that doesn't fit the pattern and appears to be easier every now and then but stop acting like all SEC teams do nothing but play patsies OOC. Also, don't be one of those guys who doesn't understand scheduling, most of these OOC games are scheduled 5-10+ years in advance. It's nearly impossible to judge how good a team will be when you actually face them.

Anybody can go pick a team from a random conference compare it against the rest and call it easier. Big12 doesn't even play a championship game :lol

[DesignatedT]

Don't even know why I am getting into this tbh. The SEC is known to the be the strongest conference by anyone with a brain.

[yavozerb]

Never understood the championship game arguement. So 12 sec teams play 8 conference with no championship game and 10 b12 teams play 9 conference games. How does a championship game benefit 90% of the teams in the SEC? Seriously, just wondering...

And what's missing from this fallacy is that the NCAA REQUIRES 12+ team conferences to split into divisions and stage a champ game and DOES NOT ALLOW 10-team conferences to do so. Big 12 always played a title game when they had 12 teams.

The SEC is the best Conf. in my opinion. But the East is pure crap. I will say it again, UT could have made it to the SEC championship. And then some lucky to win the whole deal. There was no way UT was going to win the Big 12, no way, they have to play EVERY team. Why is this so difficult?

Because Blake says something you like you bold him and take his word as biblical... ? He has made much more of an impression on you than me. I think the Aggies made a great move. Now they can still lose but feel good about their conference.

The east won't be down forever. Florida, Georgia, Tennessee are all monster programs. Mix in South Carolina & Mizzou and that's a very respectable division when looking at college football history. Sure, the east is down this year and Mizzou's schedule is pretty weak but you have been insinuating that every SEC school has a schedule like that when it isn't true. Check every SOS measurement out there and SEC teams flood the top of the list.

:lol Briles just signed a 10 year deal last season

:lol

He's not going anywhere anytime soon unless it's the NFL.

Since the SEC is soooo much better, what's Aggy's excuse for having the same exact mediocre results in the Big 12?

Imho, aggy did get better. You don't win a Heisman for nothing.

But aggy was very down in the big 12 while UT, OU and most of the 2000's Tech were better.

Now that aggy has improved (although still needs much improvement on D) the gauntlet of power has shifted from the big 12 to the SEC.



so what can we conclude?
A&M realized they weren't going to get beat up on any more by UT etc so they found a step dad who gladly said "yes, we'll take off the belt and whip you, sons".

And aggy rejoiced.

:lol what? Take a look at how much money is allocated to football at some SEC schools and then take a look at the facilities. There are multiple programs that are a coaching hire away at competing at the highest level. What Briles is doing at Baylor is not the norm and even he might bolt for greener pastures sooner or later.

yeah Briles ain't leaving. He has that job as long as he wants it which is a rare thing in an unstable coaching carousel world.

He basically built the program from scratch.

That's the point. It's very rare to see that. Without him Baylor is just another average program with an average fan base, average recruiting and average facilities. Briles might stay but he could leave, contracts aren't that binding especially when you get a prospective employer willing to pay your entire buyout (assuming he has one).

SEC west is the most overrated division of all time imo
