Now Olin Buchanan is doing John Sharp’s bidding. But Texags isn’t university affiliated. Nah. 

Aggy is more delusional than ever if they think we'll split the PUF. There's nothing they could ever offer Texas to get that.

I don’t know. If they could use the money to physically remove the campus to another state I’d think long and hard about giving it to them.

Someone needs to explain to Solon that modifying the AUF distributions would require a constitutional amendment. 

The people of Texas are far more likely to approve an amendment to sever aggy’s status as a branch of The University than they are to vote to take money from UT System schools to give to A&M.

to cleanse the palate after that pathetic Aggie joke

An Aggie gets down on his luck, desperate for money. He decides the best way to score is to kidnap some poor kid, so he goes to a local park and grabs a kid. He pins a note to the kid's chest saying "THIS KID BEEN KIDNAPPED, IF YOU EVER WANT TO SEE HIM AGAIN, PUT $5000 IN A SACK AND LEAVE IT BEHIND THE BIG OAK TREE AT THE PARK. SIGNED, AN AGGIE" and then sends him home to tell his parents.

The kidnapper goes to the tree the next day and sure enough, there's a sack lying next to it, containing $5000 and a note. "HOW CAN ONE AGGIE DO THIS TO ANOTHER AGGIE?!!?!"

Resuming the Rivalry: If Texas wants to play A&M again, money talks

The Bible tells us there is a time for everything. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to weep and a time to laugh.

With that in mind, there may come a time when Texas A&M and Texas resumes its football rivalry. But now definitely is not the time.

Once, the feeling here was Texas A&M should renew the series because it was a statewide tradition and part of our heritage. I was wrong.

Several factors have changed my point of view, from Texas’ shameless campaigning through the media and the revisionist history of Texas fans to the fact that A&M’s schedule annually is already significantly more challenging than the Longhorns’.

Last summer Texas coach Tom Herman called for the series to resume. He said in a radio interview:  “In my perfect world, you would play one big-time Power 5 [non-conference] opponent.”

Fine. A&M plays Clemson. You can’t get more big-time than the national champion. In upcoming seasons A&M will also play Notre Dame and Miami. Big time opponents.

Yet, the media—state and national—reacted with a barrage of articles that seemed intent on pressuring A&M to do what Texas wanted. Sorry. That ship sailed in 2012.

Then-A&M president Bowen Loftin offered to continue the series after A&M joined the SEC, but Texas declined.

Texas Athletic Director Chris Del Conte could have phoned A&M AD Scott Woodward and asked if a game could be scheduled. If Woodward had said no, Del Conte could call another team to schedule a game.

Instead, Texas responded like some high school kid who got dumped and is asking friends (in Texas’ case the media) to plead his case to be reunited.

Of course, the ironic twist to the story is that Texas ended the series in the first place. Texas and Big 12 apologists like to say A&M ended the series by moving to the Southeastern Conference in 2012. They conveniently omit the rather obvious fact that Florida State plays Florida, South Carolina plays Clemson, Georgia plays Georgia Tech and Kentucky plays Louisville.

Then-A&M president Bowen Loftin was even on record saying A&M was willing to continue the series. However, then-Texas Athletic Director DeLoss Dodds refused to schedule A&M and encouraged other Big 12 teams not to play the Aggies. These are documented facts.

Yet, Texas fans—and some media—make the ludicrous claim that A&M is “afraid” to play Texas. So A&M will play Clemson, which has won two national championships in three years, but is scared of Texas, which in the last three seasons has lost to Maryland (twice), Cal and Kansas?

Longhorns advocates also chide A&M for playing a weak schedule because SEC teams have four non-conference games. One of those often is against an FCS opponent.

Yet, those same critics refuse to look at the totality of the respective schedules. For example, A&M’s 2019 opponents were a combined 93-63 last season. By comparison, Texas’ opponents were a combined 82-71.

Still, Longhorns degrade A&M’s non-conference schedule. While refusing to acknowledge Clemson they mention A&M plays UTSA, Texas State and FCS member Lamar.
 

Texas likes to brag that it’s upgrading its schedule by playing the likes of LSU, Arkansas and Alabama in upcoming years. Yeah … they’re upgrading by playing teams that A&M plays every year.

What they fail to point out is that Texas plays Rice, which last season lost to UTSA. The Longhorns also play Louisiana Tech. True, Texas doesn’t play an FCS team, but the Longhorns do play Kansas, which last season lost to an FCS opponent.

But the sniping could be put aside. An agreement could be reached to resume the rivalry. The timing just has to be right.

And the right time to resume the rivalry is easily ascertained.

The Permanent University Fund is a state-owned multi-billion dollar endowment which annually distributes hundreds of millions in revenue to the University of Texas and Texas A&M.

Texas receives two thirds of the annual pay out. If $900 million is distributed, Texas receives $600 million and A&M receives $300 million.

Texas officials have indicated they would do anything to resume the football series. A&M should take the position that it would agree to resume the rivalry when Texas agrees to evenly split the PUF revenue.

Until that time, A&M shouldn't play Texas.

Holy shit. There are so many half-truths, exaggerations, and outright lies in this thing it’s hilarious. Let me get this straight, Aggy is offering to play Texas every year if we give them half the PUF? What? Are they fucking high?

Aggy trying to claim something they didn’t earn. Shocking. 

Let me save CDC the tweet. 

Um...no 

 

 

Olin fails to mention the only reason they are playing Clemson is because they dropped Oregon, who at the time was near the top of College Football, and Clemson was still so-so.

they're really milking the Clemson thing for all it's worth, like they picked out the toughest non-conference opponent anyone could think of and added that to their schedule because just playing Alabama wasn't enough

And, yes, he is truly clueless to the point of not understanding his asking that the UT System shift a quarter of a billion dollars every year from its academic mission to UT Austin athletics for one football game against A&M would require a constitutional amendment.

They've been telling themselves and anyone who can overhear them that Texas' slide into irrelevance makes us desperate for a game with them. They haven't played us because they're now an elite national brand (you have no idea of the power of the SEC patch on your uniform) who run the state of Texas and will, next year or the one after, stand in preeminence athwart the football landscape as the awakened giant carrying Jimbo on its shoulders. Natty after natty. Nobody can stop Master Blaster.

Scorched with garbage sticking to burnt flesh, Texas is desperate to escape their self-created hell: the BDF.  We beg the giant to save its old tormentor. We'll give it our money and stop paying refs. If they let us, we'll even try to explain irony to them. We'll do it in the Hall of Champions as we hand over our riches. Just please, play us! We're all about appearances and hate being the laughing stock of the world!

The giant scorns tu. He asks if the University of Texas even graduated from the University of Texas. The hand reaching from the flaming dumpster takes on a saddened expression. The giant just walks away.

If I read the piece correctly, the only quote provided was attributed to Tom herman and doesn’t reference aggy, but rather one premier non conference team per year. Which has been addressed with LSU, tosu, Michigan, Alabama, and hopefully soon Florida over the next decade. 

So where does he come off saying UT officials have said they’d do anything for a game with them?

the pile of wishing and dreaming that constitutes that article is North Korean news network worthy.

Olin Buchanan is a writer for Texags, one of the propaganda mouthpieces of Texas A&M. They recruit for aggy and push aggy's agenda into the public sphere. They also hire and fire aggy athletic personnel.

Buchanan and by proxy is mouth breathing audience sure seems salty about everyone calling them scared to play.  Texas hasn't revised any history, lying bags of cowardly aggy shit.

 

" the fact that A&M’s schedule annually is already significantly more challenging than the Longhorns’."

Our SOS was higher last year, you dumb fuckshit.  And that's including your glorious loss-win vs Clemson.  And that's not the only year either.

Half their schedule is complete crap every year.  3 terrible OOC games, Arkansas, Ole Miss and at least one of S. Carolina, Vandy, Tennessee or Kentucky.

They won't give up 1 of their 3 OOC high school games (this year Texas St, UTSA and Lamar - fucking pitiful) because it helps keep their record respectable.  They rely on those 3 guaranteed wins every year.  THAT'S why they don't want us back on the schedule.

Is it gonna be same one he was beside in the picture?
Seems weird to campaign after you already lost the election 12% to 88%. And no we are not giving A&M anything to do what the overwhelming majority of A&M students want. You lost the election TexAgs. Time to admit defeat.

Can I get a ruling from the judges to see if this was intentional?

I hate to write this because I like any attempt to belittle aggy, but Clemson was better than "so-so" at the time the scheduling switch was made.  The switch occurred in October, 2014.  At the time, Oregon was in the midst of a great season in which the Ducks went to the NCG and finished with a #2 ranking, so it's definitely true that Oregon was near the top of college football at the time.  However, Clemson was pretty good in that time period as well.  The Tigers finished the 2013 season ranked #7 in the Coaches Poll (after beating Ohio State in the Orange Bowl) and finished the 2014 season ranked #15 (after beating OU in a bowl game).  Now was Clemson one of the top teams in the entire country at the time?  Nope.  But the Tigers weren't chopped liver, either.

aggy's (note lower case to satisfy Phlegm) excuse for dropping the Ducks was that is somehow conflicted with the sheep-pumpers' neutral site game with Arky.  I don't know how much truth there is to that [*coughprobablynonecough*], but they did go out and find a legit replacement for that game.  I suspect Clemson simply had a similar need to add a P5 opponent to their schedule at the time, and things probably just worked out.

You may now neg rep the shit out of me if you like.  Also expecting obligatory "aggy boy" rejoinder from Phlegm.

I love the fact that Sharp keeps using TexAgs to spoon feed these idiots this drivel. 

As long as they are being told that they are rich, and better than the sips, and in a better place and play a harder schedule, etc, etc, etc, those rubes will keep believing it. And as long as they keep believing it, they will never, ever do anything to try and better themselves, so they will remain in the exact same place.

Viva Olin! Viva Looch!
