LSU beating A&M is meaningless to the recruits that Texas will target.
this is true, UT will take who they want regardless of what LSU and a&m do.

Texas, and the other Big 12 schools going to the Pac 16 are all never playing A&M again in any sport because A&M gave their word and commitment that they would be going to the Pac 16 and then broke their word.
uh huh. Did Texas tell the other Big 12 schools to never play TAMU again in anything? What happens in tournaments/bowls? Texas is a model of perfect honesty.

Yeah... I'd like to see some documentation on this as well. When the teams met to discuss this, didn't A&M immediately say they weren't sold on the PAC 10 idea?

Texas and other schools gave up on other opportunities (i.e. Big 10) based on what A&M committed to so the Aggies breaking their word is a big deal.
You haven't the first clue if what you're saying is right. How do you know if Texas gave up the Big 10? You don't. How do you know that anyone "gave their word?" You don't. Good grief, you're just running at the mouth to try to make UT not look that the bad guy they are here.

It could certainly benefit A&M, but that doesn't mean it hurts Texas. As long as Texas wins they wl be unaffected. A&M improving would more likely hurt other teams, like LSU, Arky and OU or other outside teams that are recruiting in state.

Wow, you really believe this? Are you that dumb? If Texas A&M is as insignificant as you say, why worry about? Oh, ecuase it was their word! Texas told the country they waanted to 'save' the big 12 despite them being the architects behind this! And your worried about Texas A&M's integrity? Good lord you can't possibly be this naive!

Texas DID NOT give up the Big 10 for this- they knew they couldn't push the Big 10 around politically OR have their own network, which they desperately want.

Basically, Drunkenstein thinks Texas is invincible. They will still get majority of the big recruits in Texas. This is true. But it is ridiculous to not think that A&M in the sec will attract more big recruits every year.
Look, Texas, like every school, will eventually hit a rough patch again some day. That would happen whether or not A&M was in the SEC. I just think that as long as Mack is the head coach, we'll recruit just fine, regardless of SEC schools coming to play A&M.

really? how about a link? pretty much from the get go, I heard A&M was not crazy about the Pac 16 deal.
This came from Geoff Ketchum who runs Orangebloods a couple of days ago. I'll do my best to find a link.

Yet, here Tx is saying they will break their word.

Sure there is. Give up your own tv network and equal revenue sharing for the good of the conference. Problems solved.
This is an idiot's argument.
#1 A&M voted for the Big 12's revenue distribution method which rewards teams for having more national TV appearances
In other words, Texas is not willing to be fair. Texas destroyed the Big 12.

No matter what happens, I just hope A&M and Texas stop playing so we can get a season ending opponent who helps, instead of hurting, our BCS ranking.
Hello, my name is Dr Drunkenstein and I'm full of shite.

Unless it specifies who exactly made the "promise" then I'd say its just Texas whiney bs.

THIS is the biggest load of crap in this whole realignment deal, this notion that Texas dictates conference policy. All of the hot button issues in the Big 12 like how revenue is distributed or banning partial qualifiers or moving the conf HQ to Texas or the Conf title game to Cowboys stadium were all unanimous or 11-1 votes. A&M VOTED FOR ALL OF THESE THINGS.

How about applauding them stepping out of your damn shadow. The only reason yall want them to come along to the pac-16 is so you can continue to push them over. Texas just wants A&M to act as their lil sister bitch like TTU, OU and OK St and do whatever Texas does or says for them to do. Big ups to the Aggies for growin a pair and stepping out on their own.

By the way, will you still be Oklahoma's bitch on the field if you move to the Pac 16? (6 conference titles to three and counting!)

Every single Big 12 school votde for this method of revenue distribution. How you take this as Texas is unwilling to be fair is God's own private mystery.

I'm ecstatic we are separating from A&M.

There's votes, and then there's votes. There's the sort of vote you get in Venezuela, and the sort of vote you get in the USA. My guess is that the Big 12 votes more closely resembled the Venezuela votes.

Things and times change. Texas isn't willing to change with them. Texas is the reason for the Big 12 failure.

Yet if A&M does something you don't like you thraten to black ball them like the spoiled country club types you think you are. Sure seems to me like Texas is trying to push them around. By the way, it also had to do with the TV deal and their own network dumbass.
