    Sorry my links are not good enough maybe if you read other people's opinions and sources instead of your self entitled head in the sand, "you inform me" attitude somebody would not have to link every time they said anything cross towards Texas. Learn to read sucker and find it yourself you wanted your link you got it.

    Actually the real suckers are the ones who give Dick Justice a free click whenever he openly and obviously panders to the fanbase of the month/trolls the opposing fanbase of the month.

    Don't worry, in a few months he'll be laughing at dead dog scoreboards & such and you'll be back to cursing his name.

    What does TU care what A&M does? TU has the LHN, what does A&M have? I think it's A&M throwing the hissy fit about being left out of one of the big super conferences or having schools like SMU and UH join the Big 12.

    Kansas and Missouri have good regional arguements to join the Big 10. Both OU and TU trump A&M when it comes to applying for membership to either the Pac-10 or SEC. A&M is at Okie State's level. By trying to flee to the SEC, A&M is giving good arguments for Kansas and Missouri to leave the conference. Same for TU and OU.

    Which questions are those? I have literally no idea what you are talking about, and skimming your posts has done me no favors.

    It's the same principle.

    If you leave a job you can't expect your previous employer/employees to make any concessions for you.

    If you leave a marraige, you can't expect your ex to make any concessions for you.

    If you leave a team, you can't expect your teammates to make any concessions for you.

    If you leave a conference, you can't expect your former conference mates to make any concessions for you.

    The game on Thanksgiving night is a big deal. And no matter who else is on A&M's schedule, a game vs. their in-state rival on Thanksgiving night has unrivaled ratings/recruiting/publicity appeal. Let's be honest, ESPN will make sure Texas keeps a game on Thanksgiving, and if Texas chooses not to play A&M it has nothing to do with being "scared." It's merely a decision to not allow an out-of-conference rival the advantages of a national appearance on Thanksgiving night.

    It is in Texas's best interest to limit the national appeal of its in-state rivals when they play in another conference. Surely you Aggies, who keep telling us "SUCKERS" that the SEC move is merely a move in A&M's best interest, understand this.

    About UT refusing to not play TAMU after they are gone. How do you bozos feel about that?

    Could it be that since A&M is now just another non-conference opponent then there is no need to treat them as anything more than that, and you consider scheduling them just like you would any other school? Serious question. The history is with the two being tied together. They aren't tied together anymore.

    This twitt asked this question, then y'all bozos asked for a link to prove it, then some sucker provided said link (that sucker (Donny) gets beers on me anytime BTW for being one of the sane people in here), then the bozos went off on a tangent about Dick Justice (a pure-bread sucker). Y'all follow?

    TU will compete for championships regardless of whether they play A&M or not. How about that?

    It is kinda the same. The two were a pair. One just decided, arguably in their best interests, to split. What's the others motivation to still continue hooking up? It's kinda of like saying "we are leaving but the onus is on you to still stay together from time to time, and if not then you are bitter"....while the other party is saying "now that you left I'm gonna treat you like I treat all the others".

    Well the state of Texas obviously wants to keep it going. TAMU does. Florida plays FSU. Iowa plays ISU. And so forth...

    Keeping the rivalry intact makes sense for the state of Texas and college football. Its exciting. Why throw it away? What fun is that?

    when were those teams in the same conferenece and then one bolted?

    i have no problem with ut not continuing the game after aggy bolts. i'd just like to see some proof that this will happen. no one's provided anything other than dick justice blogs and that's just laughable.

    hucker.

    Kinda like the state of Texas would prefer it's top teams to be in the same conference?

    Baseballa just gave great reasoning on why it makes sense for UT to not continue the game, if they choose to. Which one of his points do you disagree with? How is it in UT's best interests to continue with this non-conference game?
