re: Possible legit reason why TU won't play TAMU.

To suggest that UT-TAMU is not a significant rivalry for UT is horses&$t. Considering UT's mediocre conference and nonconference schedule, there is no reason why TAMU shouldn't remain on the schedule. If Florida can play an SEC schedule and still play FSU, UT can keep TAMU on it's schedule after playing the weak sisters of the Big 12-2 and Rice, UTEP and Houston.
