The Horned Frogs have not beaten the Aggies since October 21, 1972, when they won in College Station with a final score of 13–10. The Aggies' current winning streak of 24 games from 1973 to 1995 and including the 2001 galleryfurniture.com Bowl is the longest in the series.

Little Froggie, you can kiss my Aggie arse on this one ... nothing is getting pulled out of thin air.

Richard F'in Nixon was president the last time TCU won over A&M.

Its a shame that the equal revenue A&M is going to get from the SEC won't translate to any wins.

To quote a future conversation in 5 years:

TCU grad: "Man I'm glad we moved to the Big 12. Got a shot in the Big 12 championship game and a BCS bid."

A&M grad: "Well we make more money than you. You guys just started getting a full piece of the Big 12 pie!"

TCU grad: "That's okay, you guys haven't even finished with a .500 SEC record yet."

You're right, I misread the stassen table. 1972. My bad.

It doesn't change the fact that A&M has outright refused to schedule TCU since the end of the SWC. They're the only SWC member to do that.

I see the trolls have arrived. Hush up Mountaineer, you play in the Big Pizza conference sponsored by Papa Johns. And you hillbillys would drink bad moonshine and piss flames to get an SEC offer.

Again, so when was the last time A&M won a major bowl game?

TCU won the Rose Bowl last year. Has A&M ever won the Rose Bowl?

That most likely has to do with not wanting to play a home and home with TCU. Amon G. Carter is too small and until the recent upgrades a sub par college stadium. I would love to play TCU every year.

No doubt about it...we definitely want in...but don't hold the Big East conference against WVU's success...we have wanted out for years.

I would say Texas A&M is done now that they moved to the SEC...but they have been done for 25 years already.

I hope you enjoy the annual beat down from LSU and Alabama...I'm sure you're ready for it since you had to deal with Texas and OU.

If TCU is so valuable and awesome, if they are a hot shite program that makes the Big 12-2-1+.5 so much better, then they wouldn't be treated like a Wal-Mart or K-Mart customer.

Seriously? You guys played at New Mexico. What a shitty excuse... "your stadium is too small"... really? REALLY?

We've also played one-and-dones with OU, UT, and TTech since then. Why isn't A&M interested in one of those? I'm sure we were willing in past years. What about a neutral site game at Texas Stadium or now at Cowboys Stadium. Y'all know you're dying for more metroplex exposure, so why not schedule that?

We both know the answer. Quit pretending you don't know that A&M has had no interest in losing to Patterson and Frogs this decade, because you're making your fanbase look stupid in addition to pussified.

It also immediately makes TCU a 2nd class citizen in a conference that almost imploded over a power struggle (and would have if the big powers had a soft spot to land).


I disagree. This is a negotiated stair step funding that leads to full compensation. TCU knows that by 2015 they'll be fully vested if you will. Think of it as consideration for the fact that TCU will not be adding peak value for a few years until it has built up some rivalries besides the Texas schools and had a chance to expose its brand as a Big XII team thus generating the revenue.

While I agree that the Big XII has had some lousy financial dealings in the past with its members, this makes sense. Unlike A&M or Syracuse, it is harder to make the argument that TCU immediatley adds a significant financial addition to the conference. In time it should offer a lot, but off the bat it does bring as much as other schools and is being compensated as such.

No interest in losing? The mighty Patterson, he of the short sleeved mock turtleneck ( ) just got smoked by BAYLOR.

We thumped a knot on SMU's head. How did y'all do, Froggie?

And we already played and beat Patterson. Why schedule a gimmie in front of 35k in Fort Worth, when we've scheduled real teams like Clemson, Va Tech, Notre Dame, etc.

No, I'm country. I've actually gigged frogs and don't so quickly turn to the homo like you apparently do.

So the question really is:

You gay, bay?
