SEC blocking UT-Aggy bowl game?

[the chronic]

Nobody is declining anything

My friend that is an Aggie claims that the boards are 99% against playing Texas in the bowl game because you have everything to lose. But apparently you speak for all Aggies in that you would happily accept and back up the talk. Either that or you are laughing at your own post from the emoji showing.

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?

Gotta admit this would be one of Chip's best troll jobs yet

Agreed.

[DMX7]

Well... Chip may or may not have pulled this story straight out of his ass, but it does seem perfectly logical.

[DesignatedT]

Just like Texas declined to play A&M in the 2013 cotton bowl.

[Clipper Nation]

Aggy
Scared of Texas
The "#WRTS" era is still coming to an end whether you play them or not

[the chronic]

Just like Texas declined to play A&M in the 2013 cotton bowl.

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.
Toledo
UCF
Indiana
SC
Georgia
Florida
Vandy
Kentucky
ATM
Tenn.
Ark.

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.

[DesignatedT]

I never said anything about SEC schedules. The SEC is the best conference hands down. That doesn't even need justification at this point.

A&M would play Texas without hesitation. There's no hidden agenda to avoid a 6-6 Texas team . How ridiculous is that. Do A&M fans want to avoid the matchup? Sure, I would say most do for the obvious reasons stated in this thread but the A&M team/staff/brass aren't avoiding anything.

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.

[DesignatedT]

Don't forget you are putting all your weight on this guy:

[unleashbaynes]

chip brown? you mean the guy that was confident that saban was coming to texas? that guy?

Hey, if A&M doesn't want to play Texas I respect that. 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.

Aggy is so sad. Still using conference smack as a means to feel relevant and excuse not winning since 1939. And to top it off, bragging about how great it is when they have done nothing to contribute to it.

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 . 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 Keep driving up those Chip Brown ratings on 104.9 my friend.
