Texas vs Baylor

[johngateswhiteley]

sorry senor, but what are the lyrics to the aggie fight song again?

so long as they remain so, you have no argument.

why do so many bring this up? its a lame argument.

1. A&M is in t.u.'s song
2. its called passion and camaraderie

...I love the spirit.

[The Reckoning]

lmao one line to make up aggie's entire song.

im bitter because i witnessed iowa state fans cheering "ISU" in the closing minutes of the game when a UT player was down...also i have every one of my baylor friends leaving me voicemails about how bad UT sucks. not to mention all the aggies in my family going ing nuts right now. they don't invite me to thanksgiving anymore because of it.

sure im excited when UT beats a&m, but its more of picking on a little brother. the OU game is what i get riled about (unless OU blows like no other...then i expect a win.)

what i should have said is that i find it funny that mostly every team in the Big XII (and u of arkansas) consider UT some sort of number one rival whereas UT really only gives a about OU and a little about aggie.

so aggie and arkansas are like "wait a second, UT is caring less and less about us , so let's play each other!"

[brettn]

Also, is it just me or has Jay Finley come out of nowhere to be a home-run kind of feature back?

He had a pretty strong sop re season. He had an ankle injury last year against UConn that basically ended his season though. He didn't come back till after RG3 went down and that obviously didn't go well.

He's a good RB though and he's definitely benefited from the more balanced offense this year and of course having RG3 in the backfield again. I just wouldn't say he's come completely out of nowhere.

Also, regarding RG3 I think it's reasonable to assume that he's lost a step or whatever after the surgery, but from what I understand he's been making a bigger effort to develop his arm and pocket presence in an attempt to make himself more NFL ready. That would explain why his first reaction doesn't seem to be to run as much this season.

How quickly you forget.. always acting like yall have won every game this last decade. A&M is the reason the Big 12 is even around still.. t-sip ing that A&M wanted to leave to the SEC threatening yall wouldn't even play us..

But we're butthurt?

"If you leave we wont play you anymore "

bull . now youre just speculating. UT negotiated to bring in cash flow for ou, aggie, and itself. you know damn well UT is the reason why the Big XII stuck together. like i said, it's like a big brother, little brother relationship.

Look, I hate to give anyone else credit, but everyone else but aggy sees it - the rest of the B12 did exactly what UT told them to. After Neb was going to go, CU was worried about getting left out in the whole P10 deal, so they jumped the gun.

UT was joined at the hip with OSU and uo; Dodds promised Holder he would not leave him and Boren and Hargis pledged to do what the other one did. Once the P10 said that UT could not have their own network, the deal with them was over.

Meanwhile, back at the cult, atm was pissed because UT was running the show and that they would forever be in their burnt orange shadow, so they intertained moving to the SEC. If you read insider accounts, it was never anything for real more than talk, as the SEC actually wanted uo and not atm. However that was enough to make the media frenzy look like atm was as good as gone (the same media that reported that OSU and ttek had already accepted spots to the P10).

B12 was staying regardless of what atm did, but when they were told they would get some of the CU/NU money they came back like a roach to spilled honey. Their AD is so far in debt that there was no way they could have afforded the penalties moving to the SEC. In reality, the only reason they entertained going to the SEC was because they knew if the B12 folded they wouldn't have to pay. Their mind was made up for them when the B12 announced it would stay together and they were able to call themselves saviors in their own mind, when the rest of the world just shakes their head and says, "Sad" when they do it.

[Obstructed_View]

Yeah A&M and UT don't have a rivalry or anything, but they take over a Baylor thread.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

hahahahahaha aggies are living it up right now


What is funny is that even with Tannyhill taking snaps, all this UT abysmal play actually insures the fact that we will destroy A&M come Thanksgiving. Instead of that game being A&M's bowl game, the tables will be turned and it's going to be OUR bowl game. Instead of your players playing like their lives depend on beating UT, it will be OUR players playing like their futures depend on beating aggie.

UT sucking this much ass bodes bad for A&M only a blind homer with no sense of history would think otherwise.

Had UT not won at Nebraska, I wouldn't be saying this. But its no doubt the talent is there to be at least DECENT. This abysmal piss poor play is the coaches losing the team. But one thing those kids will get up for is the thought about being humiliated by Aggie.

LOL

Not sure where you were going with this but if Texas did indeed jump ship to the pac "16" (which 1 reason they didn't was because A&M wasn't on board) than A&M would not have joined them.

Yes, obviously if Texas didn't agree to stay in the Big12 than it would have all crumbled but A&M played a major role in keeping Texas committed to the Big12. I am not saying that A&M was the only reason they decided to stay committed to the big12 but they were definitely influential when we told Larry Scott and the p10 no thanks.

and yes, you are right about A&M not being able to afford the exit penalty $ but if the big 12 dissolved which would have happened if Texas went to the p16 than A&M would have gone to the SEC. Obviously both programs (not 1 more than the other) felt it was not a good idea to split it all up just yet.

Are you mad because ou/tu/A&M all are getting paid $20 million?

[Sisk]

Yeah A&M and UT don't have a rivalry or anything, but they take over a Baylor thread.

Seriously..

[MajorMike]

Are you mad because ou/tu/A&M all are getting paid $20 million?

LOL, ok; you let me know as soon as atm gets that 20 mil... sucker.

"COLLEGE STATION — The Big 12 Conference promised Texas A&M $20 million annually starting in 2012-13, and the Aggies intend to collect, A&M president R. Bowen Loftin said Wednesday.
“A key part of Texas A&M's decision to remain in the Big 12 earlier this summer was the commissioner's commitment that Texas A&M would receive a minimum of $20 million annually in future conference distributions,” Loftin said in a statement. “We remain committed to the conference and fully anticipate that the Big 12 will honor its commitment to Texas A&M.”

And what happens if the Big 12 doesn't honor its $20 million pledge? A high-ranking A&M official said late Wednesday that every legal avenue would be explored first, with the potential of bolting for the Southeastern Conference coming after."

Beebe promised them 20 mil because it is after the tv deal gets redone and he is really hoping each school gets over 20. uo and UT know better, that's why they turned down their portion of the exit money, to which atm said, no we need money.

Good luck with that. Maybe its a ploy in 3 years to fake going to the SEC, who doesn't really want you anyway, so you can come back and make people think you are relevant.

[MajorMike]

The whole point is atm keeps selling themselves as the savior; they didn't save crap, you just said it yourself. It was already a done deal once P10 turned UT Network down and Beebe said UT could do it that UT stayed. atm fans trying to say that them coming back to the B12 saved the B12 is so far from the truth that makes me want to look for Morgan Fairchild, your lovely wife.

To say it had no influence on the big12-2 staying intact couldn't be further from the truth also. It definitely had an impact.

and stop talking like oklahoma state is any more "relevant" than we are. at least we had enough balls to go explore different opportunities instead of just bowing down and slobbin on the of tu.

I'm ing with you. Big 12 isn't going to be able to pay that, and it's almost inevitable that the Aggies will be in the SEC. I just had to talk some .

Us getting promised the same amount of $ than tu and OU should indicate that there was a definite possibility of us leaving for another conference. Considering how we have performed in the last decade it is beyond hilarious how we are going to get the same amount of $ as those progams (who have been competing for national championships) while the rest of the big 12 took a back-seat to us "irrelevant" aggies.

which, after fiddling around, you did anyway

[LoneStarState'sPride]

No, "fiddling around" is what y'all did.

"We're going to the Big 10"

"Check that, we're going to the Pac 10"

"Oh, and we want our own TV network"

"You better come with, Aggies, or we won't play you no more"

"Aggie, what are you doing, don'tcha wanna play?"

"Who's that you're talking to? That's not the SEC commish, is it?"

"SEC isn't interested in Aggie, world! Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!"

"AlRIGHT, we was just playin', y'all--$$$ all around, on us, ok gang?"

"ZOMG WE SAVED THE BIG 12!"

[Duff McCartney]

Being an OU fan I'm gonna be the voice of some reason...and I'll say this..there's no way Mack Brown is going to be gone from Texas in the next 5 years.

o Bob Stoops has choked more times than Mack Brown has the past decade and they still have him around.

I'm surprised Texas sucks so bad. I figured with Gilbert getting that experience in the NC game, they'd be alot better than they are now. But I think the problem is that Texas is not tough at all. UCLA came in and punched them in the mouth and they didn't know how to react.

I'm confused. Was this post an attempt to STRENGTHEN Reck's argument that TX doesn't care nearly as much about A&M as A&M does them?

UT was looking into feasible options and conferences that would take them in a heartbeat.

it's irrelevant anyway, hopefully they get some more teams in.

no not all at. cbf goes into mid-season crises when UT isnt up to par. it happens.
