Does LSU really owe A&M money?

I'm pretty sure they would've sued us if that was the case

"furk tu"

Haha. It was $400k for breaking the contract. LSU claimed they didn't break the contract because they found us a suitable opponent to take their spot. USL. A&M didn't think USL was up to par and sued. But had to sue in La court. Not going to beat LSU in a La court

To top it off we lost to USL. But 2-PAC died that day and our players were too upset to focus

ETA: now give me my money! :mad:

Sounds like USL was more than adequate

Just googled it. Something like $400k. Some of the Texags people were pumped when the Cotton Bowl was announced. Thought they would whip that $ out of LSU. That didn't work out so well.

True dat.

And as pussified as Joe Dean's buying our buying our way out of the A&M series may have seemed at the time I think the 2 crystal footballs we added to our trophy case since ending the series with A&M coupled with the fact they are practically begging the SEC to take them make that pill very easy to swallow.

I remember flying back to Lafayette the day after and seeing the destruction on the football field at USL. Apparently, the fans carried the goal post out of the stadium.

basically over 20 yrs ago, lsu axed the series with a&m and some of them claim we owe damages ranging from 300k to 500k. it was the last time they were any good and right before they got nailed (for the 7th time) by the ncaa. it was a legitimate disagreement whether or not we owed them damages; a number of teams have canned games with lsu and we simply find a replacement as did a&m that year. their admin. doesn't seem to be bothered about it but, at least imo, the texas psyche just can't handle anyone "messin' with them" so some of their fans are still pissed off. in fact, they are making shite up and passing it on their to children so the hate can continue to be passed on to subsequent generations. kinda like the "remember the alamo" thing. except this is the "remember when the inferior cajuns stiffed us". fortuneatly, most aggies are more mature than that but the loud mouthed ones persist. and, by the way, i stand by every word of this explanation and swear it to be the honest truth and no one can revise the facts to make me believe otherwise, no matter how "superior" they tell me they are.

A&M really likes to bitch about programs that are superior to them. It's like they're Arkansas.

The Cheatin Texas Aggies were on probation so often in the late 80's and early 90's we got tired of never having a chance to get on TV.That's why we drug up.Boy, are they bitter.

we got out of the series cause Curley/Gerry couldn't beat the ags and that is a fact.

I'll say that when a team cheats, can't be on tv sometimes, and beats you, that's a perfectly good reason to cancel the series. I don't have any sympathy for the Aggies there. frick 'em.
