Interesting Tweet from Chip Brown

"Is the #SEC telling bowl games with SEC and #Big12 tie-ins it doesn't support a #Texas v #TAMU postseason matchup?"

I don't have access to scout, but it sounds like he's insinuating that the SEC is trying to block the game.

If it's true that would be funny.

I know the SEC has oversight in the bowl selections for their teams, so it wouldn't surprise me. 

IMO, they'll send A&M to as weak of a bowl as possible in order to safeguard against a loss that "embarrasses" the conference.

Where it could really get interesting is if the Ag's beat LSU.

 

[utisdabomb12]

It wouldn't surprise me from the SEC's standpoint. If Texas beats A&M we will close the border again in recruiting. The SEC wants access to those Texas recruits, that's why they wanted A&M.

I do not want to play them, but I would much rather they chicken out of a game than us.

Well, I have a membership there. I don't post, but chip is hard to ignore.

Muschamp will not go to aggy as dc

SEC will not allow aggy to play Texas in a bowl game. They control the SEC entry in 4-5 bowls which tie in with Big 12. But there are bowls the SEC cannot control, such as the Advocare Texas Bowl. 

That about sums it up.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

BTW, he's projecting Texas vs Florida in the Advocare Texas Bowl.

 

[Lukus Alderman]

I hope Texas plays in the Liberty bowl so I can have a chance to attend.

I'm perfectly fine with UT playing A&M as long as it is after I die.

let me repost something from 2 years ago.....  gotta go dig it up.  That is precisely what happened in the past so why would it have changed.....  be right back

 

[Shevis Irons]

SEC protecting aggy from an embarrassing loss, yet aggy believes they are relevant. Makes me think of... "Mongo just pawn in game of life."

 

[Brasky]

Sorry for the hatchet cut & paste job.  I orignially posted this on Hornfans.com the day of the game when the comments were made. So much for any place, any time.  As if any school with any credibility would allow their conference to dictate what bowl game they play in.  Only a school like aggy would fall to their knees and take direction from a couple of other schools.

"The SEC and Texas A&M have made it very clear that they don't want any part of Texas in the Cotton Bowl"
That was a direct quote. And they did go on to say that things would be shuffled. I'm glad I found it and referenced before the Alabama - Georgia game because someone with more know how can probably find it.

Now later on the aggy's came back with how they destroyed OU to and we got smoked to which I replied that Ole Miss was our easiest game of the year and they had to claw one out at the last second to come away with a W.

The original thread which was followed by debate including aggy's who were a bit miffed at the comment as well:

that they don't want any part of Texas in the Cotton Bowl". 

Quote by one of the commentators prior to Alabama - Georgia kickoff. Hmm. Sorta funny. I don't doubt it's true and why would they make it up? They even got a bit specific about how the SEC would switch things up to ensure this doesn't happen. You gotta love how "the SEC" is already running their show for them. So pathetic.

Last year, before the bowl games on Gameday I posted a thread on hornfans within minutes of a conversation on air. I posted that the talking heads and I can't remember who it was, said that A&M "and the SEC" would decline an offer in the Cotton Bowl to play Texas. 
Look, I know that sounds ridiculous in light of the way the teams were going at the time but it happened. Even the A&M resident posters on hornfans at the time were sorta confused by the comment. I did not misunderstand or mishear the conversation and I will go see if I can find that thread on hornfans but it definitely happened.

Like I posted on HF and on another thread here - UT -aggy is like a long time bad marriage that ended in an nasty -ugly DIVORCE.  The thought of a date or reconciliation of any type just disgusts you and makes you nauseous!!
