As the football world eagerly awaits the clash between the Aggies and the Longhorns, a new committee will play a pivotal role in shaping the way fans from both sides celebrate this momentous occasion.(KBTX) By Rusty Surette Published: Nov. 9, 2023 at 4:13 PM CST|Updated: 4 hours ago COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) - The Texas A&M University Board of Regents on Thursday directed Interim President Mark A. Welsh III to form an exploratory committee to study and recommend ways to appropriately commemorate the return of the university’s storied football rivalry with The University of Texas at Austin. The move is a nod to the intense anticipation that has built up over the 12-year hiatus, leaving Aggies and Longhorns alike eagerly anticipating the revival of a rivalry that has been embraced for generations. UT and the University of Oklahoma will leave the Big 12 Conference next year and officially become part of the Southeastern Conference, which Texas A&M joined in 2012. The committee will serve in an advisory capacity as it considers a range of possibilities. Welsh expressed his enthusiasm for the committee’s upcoming work and plans to select and charge the committee in the near future. “I look forward to seeing what the students, staff, faculty, and former students on this committee come up with. After being dormant for 12 years, I know Aggies and Longhorns all over the world are ready to rekindle the passion, camaraderie, and competitive spirit that has defined this rivalry game in the past. It will be great to have the ‘Horns back in Aggieland next Fall. It will be even better to “Saw ‘Em Off!” Although the two schools may be opponents on the field, students and alum have come together in tougher times. Recently, the rivalry was paused, when alumni of the University of Texas joined Aggies in the annual cleaning of the Bonfire Memorial site. “Rivalries don’t matter when it comes to selfless service and loss,” said Amanda Neel, collections manager for the galleries. “The Texas Exes’ participation in this year’s cleaning shows how greatly the collapse of the Bonfire affected not only the A&M community but Texas as a whole.” Read more about the partnership here and read about Bonfire remembrance at bonfire.tamu.edu.
  4. For your enjoyment, people ... the deets. Texas A&M recently executed new contracts or extensions for several of its assistant football coaches Carter Karels (Aggie 247)
  5. Some recruiting updates from Horns 247 (Hank South & Jordan Scruggs).
  6. For those of you who may not yet have heard - or are in the process of garotting yourselves while revisiting the Tech game - here's something different:
  7. No yelling. No screaming. No hysteria. Just the ineluctable persuasion of cold, dispassionate logic.
  8. Fisher's not really that bad, is he? He just needs a little more time ...
  9. Emaree Winston Fonged to Texas. (247 ranking, etc. borked - On3 stuff below.) https://247sports.com/Player/emaree-winston-46135650/
  10. Tarp posts an article on Aggie 247, with a bunch of stats on A&M / Ole Miss. First response - lulz.
  11. 1) They can *try* to spin a close loss. They will not be able to credibly spin a butt kicking. Not saying that'll happen for sure, but that is a possibility, and the speculation. 2) In a vacuum, an unranked team losing on the road, to a top-10 team, is not bad. But ... context. All the talk, on the Aggie boards and in a lot of the press, is about how bad the year has been, the decimation of their high expectations, and Jimbo's job security (or lack thereof). A 4th loss will definitively end any miniscule hopes of ending up with a good W/L record, and add significantly to the negativity around and fragility of the program. (Yeah, "24 was always the year!" ... but that'll lack credibility, even in the members of the cult.) Which, of course, will be fun 🙂
  12. This is from LSU 247 (Sonny Shipp). Includes some fun speculation about A&M imploding (Think the McKinley comment is just old info.) On Miller and Watkins.
  13. Ah, yes - that comparison really fits. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
