I know things have changed in CFB, call me old school... but the rivalry games matter the most to me.

I remember being at DKR in 2011 sawing off the horns on Thanksgiving. Nothing sweeter. That was 14 years ago.

Thats the spirit. They spoiled our perfect run so we are BAS-enraged and only focused on one game and pretending that is program success if we win.

It's driven by animus and superstition not thought. And is the worst Aggie joke ever. Plus this year has been a breath of fresh air in spite of that loss to a more than desperate Texas. They are now begging to be in the playoffs. We should be in with zero problem or the whole system needs to be reinvented to deal with the corruption it is promoting nation-wide.

Must not remember it that well since the game was at Kyle Field in 2011 and we lost.

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend....you could...

Wrong. Happy to be top 10 team with national title hopes still in view.

The pain of having to hear it from the sips for a year is the worst. If you dont agree, you will with the game being played every year. The only redemption that could shut up the sips for the next year is winning the natty

OP uses AOL.

What's wrong with AOL... you've got mail

I see every year as 3 pillar goals… beat tu, win conference, and win a national championship. With the way college football is now structured, those are three distinct goals.

The first two pillars are done for, but the biggest is still ahead of us. We don't hang banners for beating sips.

If we go all the way, nobody ACTUALLY cares more that we lost to tu. Nobody would trade that trophy for a W on the day after Thanksgiving.

Find better friends. The small handful of sips I interact with regularly (coworkers and church) are smart enough not to bring it up.

Not rationale, but I feel the same as OP this morning. The bigger problem though is we can't win a playoff game if we play like we did. And we were massively out coached.

And THAT is the problem. People are so wound up in the sips, **** the sips. Yeah, they're a rival, but for **** sake people, give it a rest. Our fanbase and program is CONSUMED with those ******s. They really do live RENT FREE in people's heads.

---

Gotta agree. I mean our school song is about them.

What decent player in the portal wants to go to a 1-11 team? Regardless of NIL money that would be a deterrent. Making the playoffs helps recruiting and transfer acquisitions. It sux losing to them but 1-11 is never good

I'll bet money none of those happen this year.

My word, I did not miss this smooth brained attitude at all.

Such a loser mentality

This crap … again. Just keep plugging and things will be fine. We're all disappointed. We have taken a step up … keep building . Ags team and fans goals are still in front of us .

Screw that. I'd rather be in the playoffs with a chance at a national title. A lot of Aggies are too ate up with the sips.

---

Because we don't ****ing win against them! Win, and this wouldn't be a problem!

Geez. Get a hobby.

When tu gets left out of the playoffs, their win will be meaningless. And they will wish there were 11-1 and in the playoffs.

Being separate conferences for a decade was lovely. I learned to enjoy football. OP, just like our school "leaders" who invited them to the SEC and brought back "the game," are little picture thinkers.

Please go castrate yourself right now.

The world doesn't need men like you reproducing.

Troll or moron? That is the question...

This is little brother mentality. Losing to texas sucks but we still have hopes for something bigger and better

It's got a line about us. Not about us

This is the lesson from the late 80s/early 90s.

The number one job is to beat the sips. When you accomplish that number one job, everything else falls into place.

We beat them regularly in the 80s and 90s but still never moved out of Tier 2 status. Why? Because we couldn't win the big games. The rest of the world doesn't give half a shjt about us beating UT. Prove that we can win when the stakes are highest, then everything falls into place. Until then, we stay at the kiddie table.

We are having the better season and are still playing football. I slept fine last night.

Actually, my t.u. alum patients would bring up the rivalry but the alums are polite. The t.u. t-shirt fans are a different story LOL !

Me too. But only an Aggie would self-loathe over the best season in 30+ years. And it's something we can build on.
