That's true. Now if you tell me that you would not employ a sip regardess of his character or how well he works, then you are an idiot. A friendly rivalry is one thing. Ignorance is another.

If you had a kid, and your kid went on to college and played for the longorns (sure, you wouldn't let them, but lets just say theoretically that they did...or any school that plays against the Aggies for that matter if its easier for you to stomach), wouldn't you want your kid's team to whip the Aggies? I know that I would. Of course I hope that my kids become Aggies and I will do what I can to make it happen, but if any of my kids end up playing sports for any school other than A&M and end up playing against the Aggies, I will be cheering like a madman FOR my kid (not for the Aggies to do poorly, but for my kid and his team to do their very best). Some things (very few, but some) are more important than your allegiance to A&M. Your family is one of them, your career is another. Just about all of us would rather have t.u. crush A&M next Thanksgiving than lose our jobs. Well, for Denton, the inverse is true and if he loses to his alma mater every year he may lose his job! And if he beats them every year they may hire him...so what better motivation to have a "burning desire" to beat the longhorns?
