Why give the SEC and A&M such a high profile game in our backyard?
Your attitude and that of a bunch of pussy arse fans are the reason I hope they don't continue the rivalry.
The SEC is where it's at and will continue to dominate the college football landscape. Texas is fading quickly. The Texas/Espn deal will be a failure and their success in the college scene will slowly decline.
Recruits will be drawn to aTm and other SEC teams for the sole fact that they are in the SEC. A championship game and actually playing competitive games are kinda important for players.
Texas knows this. This is why they're being a bunch of babies about it.

LSU fans have no room to talk. The Tulane Series and Texas a&m series are prime examples
Tulane is not at the level of someone like A&M, it costs LSU too much to forego a home game every year to play a non AQ team from the state. When we only had 6 SEC games, it was one thing.
LSU-A&M was not anywhere near the rivalry as A&M-UT.

UT's biggest rivalry is Oklahoma.
maybe now because they hae been competing for the Big 12 South and BCS bowls, meanwhile A&M sucks.
Before the Big 12, OU's biggest rival was Nebraska. In the 80's and 90's for Texas it was A&M.

but you just invited 12 SEC coaches into your state on free recruiting visits
I have to laugh when ever I see this, its like people are stuck in 1950. I got news for you sunshine, the SEC already recruits in Texas. Know where Matt Stafford, Greg McElroy and Matt Flynn are from? did you know the #1 player in Texas right now is committed to Florida State (when was the last time they played in Texas?) Everyone already recruits Texas, they are not repealing the scholarship limits, so there will not be this mass exodus. Just stop already.

isn't going to help what? or who? Texas? As long as Texas has a good coach and is winning, they won't have any problem getting the top players in Texas. They are not going to lose someone they want and that is interested in them to Alabama, because now Bama will play in Texas every other year or so.

will have no impact on Texas. Fans of and recruits intrested in Texas do not see UT as the issue the way Aggies and other outsiders do.

None of this will matter with in five seasons (or less)..UT Austin will be (even more)irrelevant in the world of CFB and we will be bashing A&M for padding their schedule with them.

I've seen that a million times. So what? If you're resting on that stat, then why are you too chickenshit to play? Since you're not putting up, maybe you should just shut up.
Posted on 9/27/11 at 10:17 pm to Hubbhogg
Hubbhogg, that would be four national championships. But you're right, Texas should have more.
Posted on 9/27/11 at 10:20 pm to texashorn
four? when?
Posted on 9/27/11 at 10:31 pm to Chicken
1963, 1969, 1970 and 2005.
I suppose you are going to dispute the 1970 championship because it was given by the coaches poll (UPI) before the bowl game (which Texas lost to Notre Dame), but you will notice that happened many times. Alabama claims '64 and '73, yet they lost their bowl game. Both Oklahoma (AP) and USC (UPI-coaches) claim the 1974 national championship. Other notable split national championships include 1957 (Auburn -AP/Ohio St.-coaches), 1978 (Alabama -AP/USC-coaches), 1990 (Colorado AP, Georgia Tech UPI-coaches), and 1991 (Miami AP, Washington coaches).
In fact, The Associated Press awarded their national championship before the bowl games, too, until 1968.

I wouldn't call it resting on a stat, more like pointing out a plain fact in response to a retarded notion that we are "scared" or "too big of pussies" to play A&M.
If we end the series (which would probably be a temporary thing) it will be because we're pissed they left and nearly blew up the conference in the process (still might happen).
UT admin is also pissed that the bow tie wearing douche of a president at TAMU has tried to spin the whole thing as our fault. In 10 years when every fricking team in the country has their own network playing 3rd tier games I'm going to laugh my arse off.

Oops, forgot 1997... Michigan won the AP, and Nebraska won the coaches' poll. That was the last year before the BCS Championship format.

Same goes for Bama, OU and any other school that claims similar titles.

Using Bama math, LSU must be leaving some natty's off the table.
According to our media guide (and the vast majority of our fans), we only count 3 titles (1958, 2003, 2007).
But we could claim 1908 (only undefeated team that year and recognized by National Championship Foundation).
We just choose not to.
Bama's 1941 championship is especially bad. They finished the AP poll ranked 20th and were shut out by State and Vandy.

I can understand that. At least Texas doesn't claim the other national championships (five more for a total of 9) handed out by various minor polls like some others (ahem, Alabama) do (previous poster beat me to it).
What was that quote from Bear Bryant? Something like, "If the local Chinese laundry in Tuscaloosa declared us national champions, I'd claim it." That could be urban legend, though.

Talk about spin. The nation sees you for what you are: scared to play an A&M team that is on a more level playing field with y'all recruiting-wise. Considering the series in the modern era (i.e., y'all couldn't just slap a scholarship on any tom, dick, and harry who wants to wear baby shite orange) has been more or less even, resting on irrelevant past laurels is exactly what texas fans are doing when they spout the overall series record.

So you admit you're pissed off and petty--great way to enhance your statewide and national perception. Considering y'all ran off colorado and nebraska and damn near blew up the conference yourselves with your LHN monkeyshines, I hardly think you're going to have many objective fans taking your side.

Butthurt because ol' president bowtie outfoxed mighty texas. Have fun selling recruits on road trips to Ames and Waco, while playing teams like mighty kansas state at home in front of fair-weather fans. Or, hey, you never know, Chuck Neinas (sp?) could actually "dream big" and add a marquee program like Houston to the mix to get people excited! Anything's possible with the bevo 9!

National and statewide perception? I doubt 18-year-old recruits give a damn about these things. What's the saying, haters gonna hate anyway?
You think Colorado left because of TEXAS? That's not what their president says. Affiliating with the West Coast was in their best interests. Been to Colorado lately? Full of Californians. They recruit California like mad.
Nebraska? They might say they left to hide under the Big 10's skirt because of unequal revenue sharing, but the biggest proponent of unequal revenue sharing from day one in the Big 12 was ... Nebraska. They even planned to start their own network. The Mothershuckers are lying though their teeth.
Oklahoma planned to unveil their own network in August, but that fell through because they learned the hard way that it wasn't feasible in a state that's smaller than the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area alone.
The more this goes on, the more A&M looks like the yipping Chihuahua, saying, "Look at me! Look at me!"
Yes, to answer the OP, Texas will refuse to play the Aggies as punishment.
The funniest thing about all this is that when the Texas Legislature had rumblings of hearings to stop the Aggies from going to the SEC, the Aggies squalled like babies.
Now, two Aggie legislators intend to file legislation to force Texas to play the Aggies. Talk about hypocrisy.
