Don't kid yourself, there is a reason Reed Arena is what it is today (bland crap). It is because of Maw Richards and Bob Bullock!

Until aggy needs $14 million in loans from the academic side because they are broke (still not paid back), or has to saddle the taxpayer with a 30-year hotel tax to build a stadium to accommodate Alabama and LSU fans.

Poor little brother horn
6 year capital campaign in austin for a new basketball arena that only gathered $113,000
So broke they had to abandon it and source it out
That’s right, every athletic dept financial campaign for little brother horn in the last 7 years has failed

Wait until they can no longer count concert revenues as athletic revenues (soon).
They will soon be totally dwarfed by what is being built in College Station.
Athletically we will be the exact mirror image of UGA and Ga Tech.

How has this devolved into a battle over endowments and $? Both schools have billions and billions at their disposal. Both have allocated it in various ways. Texas continues to focus on academics (which is why we are superior in every facet in this department) and aggy invested in... jumbo and an ugly stadium.
Arguing over money between these two institutions is stupid- like who has more Bill Gates or Bezos?? It doesn’t matter.
What matters are athletics, academics, and reputation. All three have always been and continue to be completely one sided. I’ll let aggy guess which way...

Better focus harder. A&M puts out the highest paid public U undergrads in Texas

aggy lets in more than 70% of applicants, pal. That’s a “walk and chew gum” application process. Your president has torpedoed any sort of prestige you had developed by turning aggy into a diploma mill. But i suppose all the college rankings are all part of the sip conspiracy too.
But i digress- let’s focus on athletics.
You guys still haven’t won anything of consequence since facemasks were invented.

the level of clout A&M threw around in 2010 and 2011 is nothing short of legendary and epic
we single handily ended UTs hopes of a pac 16, forced them to remain in the big 12, snapped our fingers in 2011 and got an SEC offer which resulted in a complete and total break from the red headed step children, which put them in a corner so they had to add TCU to the big 12 only adding another red headed step child. now when the next shite hits the fan, baylor and tcu and tech will all be looking at UT to save them while A&M is completely and 100% free of their garbage.
i mean it truly doesnt get any better than that. it just doesnt

Just like the fake championships on the side of the aggy stadium, maybe if you keep leaving your bullshite up in print it will make it true...

please point one inaccuracy
...aggy won 2 national titles and 2 conference championships in the summer of 2012 .. "new" national titles, in 1919 and 1927. Two new Big 12 championships, in 1997 and 2010. That was one hell of a summer ..... LINK

He clearly said "please point one inaccuracy ", not four.. just one.

I actually wanted to find the inaccuracy for how we completed dominated yall in every conceivable way regarding conference realignment in 2010 and 2011 as noted in my post above. If you can find any please point them out

Still waiting on your ridiculous claim that t.u. puts out twice as many commissioned officers as A&M like you attempted before and were violently proven wrong by facts.

We should drop it. stronghorns are obviously green with envy.
Screw all of them. We have an SEC football schedule to enjoy.
They can enjoy their win, walk around campus waving dildos,
whatever they want to do. wdgaf!
That was Georgia that embarrassed the SEC. Not us!
