I know we have the better record in general at Gooberville. I don’t have night games, but Texas leads 25-22-2 in College Station. and leads 4-3 in College Station when both teams are ranked (higher ranked team has won every time except 1) when #10 Texas knocked off #2 A&M 23-0 way back in 1941, and 2) the infamous ‘99 game.

November 18, 20241 yr Some real insightful analysis in here. If everything goes as badly as it could possibly go we could lose. Y'all make Desmond Howard seem like a football savant. And all this pants-wetting about the toughest environment in the history of the world. Give me a break. As if 2011 when a much less talented Texas team beat a similarly talented A&M team when those yokels thought they were playing us for the last time ever didn't happen. Their stadium gets pretty loud. Ooh, scary. I ain’t skeeered.Just saying sometimes our dudes struggle with pressure. Aggy seems like they might have some dudes in their front 7. Or not. We shall see.In other news, water is wet. So is South Austin’s mom.

November 19, 20241 yr 3 hours ago, jimmyjazz said: How exactly is A&M going to score on us more than we score on them? Y'all are being dramatic. I agree. I don’t know where all this aggy defense is getting all this hype. They are second to last in sacks in the SEC. 11th in pass defense. 10th in rushing defense. 6th in scoring defense. Lots of people making them out to be the 2000 Baltimore ravens. Texas should win if they just play their game, their defense is nothing special.

I would be laughing if they do, but Texas could use a win against a top 20 team prior to facing Bama in the SEC championship team. and if we lose to A&M, then we're not as good as we thought in the first place. I don't EVER want to see aggy win any game, period. If we just take care of business, all the other garbage doesn't mean shit.

November 19, 20241 yr Popular Post Texas A&M in Daily Mail today! It's the 25th anniversary of Bonfire '99 and the criminal level of incompetence. Some of the best comments: They didn't actually pay out that much in lawsuits in the end. There were a lot of lawsuits but most got thrown out. The real reason it won't happen again is because they would have to pay a $2-3M premium for an insurance policy each year just for the bonfire. I read the story of one guy that was crushed. He lived for a few days, alert, knowing he was going to die. Apparently 37 were injured. The stack collapsed in the early morning hours as students were on top of the pile, 4 feet higher than authorized, according to my reading. 5000 logs stood up right over 60 feet tall....held by chains....what could go wrong I understand tradition, but this bon fire set up seemed inherently dangerous and I'm surprised they even allowed it all those years. What a waste of trees Twelve people die and they’re motivated to beat their rival? That sounds unbelievably crass. Moronic.

November 19, 20241 yr Sometimes my objective mind convinces me it's in our best interest for A&M to win a given game, and then I start watching said game, and something goes wrong for the Aggies and I start laughing and immediately find myself rooting for their opponent and then 3 hours later the game is over and they've lost and I am supremely satisfied.

November 19, 20241 yr Popular Post One of the best, and I think my first, incredible aggy rollercoaster derailment - which we called at the time a choke - happened in the 1963 game that solidified our #1 ranking (over #2 Navy and Roger Staubach). On odd-number years, T-Day game was in College Station. It was chilly and wet. We scored first, FG by Shoeless Tony Crosby, and led 3-0. aggy came back with a couple of TDs, one in 2Q and another in 3Q, missed the xp on the second one, and was up 13-3 in the 4th quarter. We scored early, went for 2, didn't get it: 13-9 aggy. aggy had only won a couple of games all year, and they pulled out all the stops. One of their scores was a trick play, where the QB lateraled to a WR, and bounced the ball. I swear the nearest official waved incomplete, but maybe not. It worked as intended - the Texas D pulled up, and the WR threw a long pass to a wide-open ag. Damn. With the clock running out, Texas mounted a drive, but then... disaster! Our pass was intercepted, and aggy just needed to take a knee and run the clock for the supremely satisfying win. That wasn't enough for the ags, though... the interceptor apparently wanted glory, a pick-6 to cap off one for the ages. He tried to run it back, but was quickly corralled. Instead of going down, though, he tried to pitch it to a teammate. The ball went flying, Texas recovered it, with a fresh set of downs because of the double change of possession. Texas drove and Duke Carlisle punched the ball in from the goal line with a minute left. We went for 2 - again - and didn't get it - again. But 15-13 Texas. aggy had yet another massive choke to add to their heritage, and we had a New Year's Day shot at Roger Staubach and the Midshipmen. But that's another story.

God I hate Texas A&M. Agree. I grew up with both sides of this rivalry, so didn't really think much of how one school acted towards the other. Naively, it was just another college rivalry between two teams. The way they acted on this day towards our players and school, it really opened my eyes to just how manic aggy gets with Texas. The inferiority complex, coupled with "little man" syndrome of their cadets l, really creates a frenzy of ridiculous behavior. Then, you had the horse shit thrower and it just sealed the deal for me. I had no desire to renew this rivalry and no intention of engaging these goobers on anything Texas/A&M.
