I actually had a conversation with a friend about this the other day - his daughter is at A&M. He told me that the "younger" generation doesn't have the hatred for Texas that us older fans do. They don't really consider them unless playing the team like the baseball game. And they love "horns down' because the sips and their fans take it so personally.

Now the hatred for LSU is a great thing to see - that is the real team the the younger fans want to beat. I agree with them. LSU is more important these days


As for me, I'd play Texas anytime. We'd kick the crap out of them nine times out of ten

We went 9-1 in the SEC in Jimbo's 3rd season.

This year we make things right for that 1 loss.

Longhorns can jerk off to the thought of getting on the field with us but unless they make the playoffs this year it ain't happening.

Thank you for an intelligent reply. I believe all of that to be true.

I personally kinda like the “Horns Down” done by opposing fans.. As the old saying goes..

“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery..”

Every time it is done, it increases the brand value. Every time someone buys a Longhorn sticker and turns it upside down, or has a boy peeing on it, or they saw off the horns, it increases the brand value.

As for the 9 outta 10.. you may have missed your best chance to do that over the last 10 years. And yes, Texas is partially at fault for this as well.

I actually have thought about another possibility regarding this game, especially with the new playoff format that is coming..

In the years that neither Texas or Texas A&M make the 12 team playoff, those 2 teams will face each other in the XYZ bowl played annually on XYZ date, regardless of record. The game would prob need to rotate between DKR & Kyle as neutral sites may not be open to the idea of the game not being played.

Matchups like this would be entertaining imo and add excitement outside of the top 12. The game would 100% still mean something to both sides.

I don’t know if that is even possible, but it might be a fun way to play the game.

We have to play in a bowl the first time. It’s worth too much for a pop-in OOC game. Then after the seal is broken who cares.

Bless your heart.


Poor lil ol Arky has rubbed our cock bags against your moist lips for damn near 100 years. You don't have a single solitary program Scoreboard on us in any sport. Zero. And it took a motorcycle wreck to allow you to remotely close the gap in football.

Lil ol Arky. Poor little hillbillies...

Aggy is a historical punchline and runt of a school athletically. Outside of Dairy Judging and Equestrian, you have nothing. First NCAA title of all time was only about 12 years ago for God's sake. Mississippi State could even laugh at you.


Aggy Big Cigars? You're nothing but a Black and Mild. Go soak your feet in the Brazos, queue up Old Rivalries and get back to beefing with Tech.

By scoreboard you mean most recent win or are you talking about head to head all time? Maybe just who’s the better program?

Because we’re clearly better now in football and better historically even if y’all have an edge head to head.

If you’re looking solely at record then baseball has a small lead.

One summer I did, in fact. . Still more respected than any school in Arkansas.

Why would the Longhorns want to copy a sacred aggy tradition?

Well to be fair every single tradition including the longhorn mascot was copied from big brother Aggie

I've posted 3 times ITT and I'm 3 for 3 in you nerds having zero rebuttals other than the typical Aggy "blow off". The Aggy Sports Legacy is alive and unmistakable and has been since the 1800's.

All hat. No cattle. Literally sports Sod Busters.

It’s all he ever posts. Take a gander at his history.

Guy spends goodness knows how much time on horn boards (about the Ags) and therefore lives for these threads so he can post his endless, dorkish drivel.

I wish to heck y’all wouldn’t respond to these chuckleheads .
