Sigh.  I was in the stands the last time A&M came to South Bend, 2000.  We opened the season with four home games vs then ranked teams: #25 A&M, #1 Nebraska, #13 Purdue (Drew Brees Sr year, beat Ohio St and lost Rose Bowl) #23 Michigan State (Nick Saban's players).  

 

I remember being very impressed by their marching band but not the team, which was the easiest of those four.  We won a fun but ho-hum game 24-10.

I love the smell of funnel cakes and scam artist yelling about the game that's easy to win the next stall over.

Spoiler: Regrettably, aggy will never agree to this match-up unless Cody Campbell kicks in an obscene amount of $$$

Grew up in a Tech household before going to A&M and have some great memories of this game in person from both sides. I would really like it to come back as an individual.

It’s a hard one (although playoffs ease some concerns) to justify on a regular basis for A&M. The first couple will get big attention but after that it’s a regional rivalry that is easy for the national networks to pre-empt. 
 

You get little credit for beating Tech but losing is a problem. And Tech will always be dangerous in that game.  If you’re on the cusp of an at large bid you’d rather have an early season loss to a helmet school than Tech in most cases. 

You’re not getting a recruiting boost, you’re not really satisfying nation-wide alums by going to Lubbock and that market. 

This is not a new problem for Tech. They used to have to schedule one season matches against name schools under Spike because the road trip to Lubbock wasn’t worth the squeeze. 
 

Like I said, I do wish it would come back but it’s hard to see the upside in the cutthroat environment. I’d like to see one home-home series scheduled at least though.

aggy being beaten by a “BDF” conference member would serve us for months

Is it me, or are we hearing less "SEC SEC SEC" chanting from aggy this past year?

Fuck no. Nothing makes aggy rage more than losing to their perceived retarded cousin.

UPDATE – Attempted Arson Investigation 

College Station Police now say the man suspected of attempting to start a fire inside a crowded Northgate nightclub last weekend was seen entering with two other people – another man and a woman. Investigators need your help identifying all three individuals pictured.

The suspect was caught on surveillance video going into the kitchen, turning on multiple gas burners, lighting one stove, and opening a CO₂ tank before leaving. At the time, the club was filled with hundreds of patrons.

If you recognize any of these individuals or have information, call CSPD at 979-764-3600

Your tip could make a difference

Just helping everyone get ready for this.

We now know our 3 annual opponents for the next 4 years.

Which we happen to be playing all on the road this year.

I doubt they are going to give us all 3 at home next year.


I would think they would split LSU and Texas games up.

My guess is we go to Texas again. But to make up for it we get Georgia at home next season.

And 5 of or 9 SEC games will also be at home.

I doubt the SEC will give us our three annual opponents all at home or all on the road. The problem is we play all of them on the road this year, so "fair" is to play them all at home next year. We'll have to play someone on the road twice for sure. But if it's Texas, that is grade A bull***** Robs us of a fairness in the rivalry and robs us of our biggest money maker of the year. It should be Mizzou. It's benefits them the most and harms us the least.

Any guesses on where the Mizzou, LSU, and Texas games were played last year?

Like having to play in CS in an even year, despite the decades long tradition of playing in Austin in even years? Now it's all wonky. 

Or having to end the series and reopen the series in College Station?

I think aggy is the only natural phenomenon where we can independently verify the law of averages does not apply. Every year I worry for a second they are due and then nah, they always fuck it up. looking forward to this year's rendition in the coming weeks.

True, but aggy's defense sucks. Arnold should be able to break off a few long runs to loosen them up.

I agree, that Bryce Anderson injury is going to be a major hole in their defense.

Well, our secret's out.  At least he hasn't figured out what we're really trying to keep under wraps, that we have Bigfoot sitting up in the box stealing signals.

You're a complete idoit! Bigfoot doesn't exist. Texas uses gay aliens to steal signals.
