The Director’s Cup is what it is. But in a perfect world it would be weighted. It won’t be, but there is no way the average fan considers women’s rowing or tennis to be as important as football or basketball. But the directors cup does.

But it has nothing to do with what people think is important. It's about across the board athletic department excellence. If your school completes in a sport they want, and I assume you want, them to do well.

Remember when the aggies made a documentary about a high school player named Brandon Jones they thought they were getting, and then he went to Texas? Your bitterness goes back a ways.

The story

All in on NO

We also embarrassed your baseball team a few weeks ago. But that's becoming a tradition.

Yeah, huh? We swept you last year. That's a tradition, retard?

The guy you bring in will be better than your freshman, so he plays. But he's good for 1-2 years at most; and because your freshmen don't get on the field, they bolt into the portal for playing time. So you then have to hit the portal, to replace your portal guys.

---

This is it. But we don't have any one feeder school, and I doubt anyone else does. It's just.. the portal.

Thanks

Ohhh you're talking about Kentucky? A landlocked, irrelevant, little pipsqueak of a state. Horses, burboun, basketball, and "lush pastures". Congratulations, you have better soil. Ours has liquid gold underneath. You started out this debate being dismissive of Texas because it benefits from its geology then here you are talking about your states lush hills and pastures. It's hypocrisy! Regardless, now we can agree that geology and geography matter, immensely.

Texas is a GLOBAL force with an economy larger than most countries! If Texas seceded the US economy and national defense would crumble. No one would notice if Kentucky did the same. Nice talk, man. But come on, Kentucky?!

I'm sure a Longhorn will be along to tell everyone that we don't care as much at the Aggies as they care about us.

which is total bullshite. We care every bit as much as they do

One is normal rivalry hatred. The other is like a mosquito that never stops buzzing around your head. It can talk and is calling you little brother in your ear. It won't die no matter how often you squash it. That leads to pretty intense hatred.

I have to go to the Middle East to get a dust storm like West Texas

Yeah that's called a dessert. Texas has practically every type of geography you can think of. it's a big state. Let's compare it to your state. No? That's what I thought.

Also sit on top of massive oil reserves and the industries that support it. More of an outlier based on geology.

Texans created the "industries that support it" and most of the cutting edge technology used today. Don't be jealous. Texas is part of the US and what makes us the greatest country on earth.
