Patterson on Playing aggy

[Bear19]

Justice is an equal opportunity troller. You guys see realignment a bit differently from the way it actually played out.

The way it actually turned out was a$m lied,cheated and stole. but as an aggy I'm sure you can't see that.

Oh, please. Tell us the truth about how aggy running off the the SEC happened. lol. 

In athletics, UT had beaten the brains out of TAMU in every sport since the two schools started competing. Academically, A&M was improving but was never in the same league as UT. As far as resources are concerned, the UT Austin private endowment is larger than the public and private endowments of the entire TAMU system. 

In every aspect, TAMU had to get out of the shadow of UT Austin. TAMU College Station has more in common with UT Dallas than UT Austin. Realignment happened because that TAMU alumni understood the school was much better aligned with schools like Mississippi State, Kentucky and Auburn than UT.

aggy is happy in the $ec cause now they're busy kicking L$U's arse instead of UT's per their spokesman below:

And in true aggy form they pulled defeat from the jaws of victory tonight blowing a 5-2 7th inning lead. The key play being a misplayed squeeze play. Poor aggy just can't get out of their own way.

I actually wrote a paper on realignment as it was unfolding while in school. 30+ pages sourced that depicts it slightly different than the burnt orange tint. No school was perfect in the grand scheme, and most were protecting their best interests (almighty dollar), but Texas is far from clean. Texas was the school that started the mess with the major conferences and their actions triggered a waterfall of other moves, but I'll try to find that paper and/or give you a better account tomorrow.

They lost because of the ump and his strike-zone!

Save it aggy. Just stay away. And don't send me any more personal messages about having a problem with you. Just leave.

A whole lot of UT fans for years talked about a desire to ditch playing A&M. A&M themselves made it happen, by going back on their word and ditching the Big XII to move to the SEC. The Aggies were told that IF they made that move, UT and the rest of the Big XII would move on too, and where scheduling was concerned, there wouldn't be any room to keep A&M on the schedule. Obviously, that meant so much to the Aggies that they caught the first train out of town, and only offered lip service to the idea of continuing to play UT and other Texas schools. Now? Some UT fans want to reschedule those deceptive s.o.b.'s.

Now, all of a sudden, Aggies are making this push to get UT back on the schedule. The same Aggies who took extra money to keep the Big XII together, then got out of town headed east as fast as they could. The same Aggies who kissed off, and pissed off UT officials by conveniently forgetting their so-called Aggie code of honor. And there are those on here, and on other sites, that want UT to conveniently forget and forgive, and get A&M back on the schedule? Really? A&M has an excuse...like some children, they obviously haven't learned yet that you can't have your cake and eat it too. UT? Sorry...what was this I've heard forever about a superior UT education? If that's true, UT fans should be smart enough to know when they've been ditched, and act accordingly. If a girlfriend ditches you for another guy, you don't keep making room on your social calendar for her when she conveniently needs someone to take her out and buy her dinner.

I'm not foolish. I know that sometime, down the road, UT and A&M will hook up again. That sometime down the road though needs to be a lot more years yet. I don't pretend to speak for anybody else, but I am genuinely happy NOT to see the cult on UT's schedule, and at my age, I hope it's years after my passing before UT is playing those liars again. I have little or no respect for the people who really run the athletic department over there, and I don't want UT involved with them. I believe you are judged by the people you hang out with. I don't want UT hanging out with A&M any more than necessary, and I really don't understand why anybody else who cares for UT would either.

how did you interpret Sharp's comments as 'all of a sudden aggy wants Texas back on the schedule'?

I didn't.  In a post I made on another site, I stated that most of this push to get the schools playing again seems to be media-driven.  The media paints it that untold thousands of fans on both sides are pining away wanting the return of the Thanksgiving game between UT and A&M.  Obviously, some traditionalists do, but on the whole, fans and administrators of both schools are, I think, pretty indifferent to the current end of the rivalry.  As for the media, they will find one or two who speak out for the game, and make it seem like a public referendum.  I genuinely believe Sharp doesn't care if UT and A&M ever play again.  I believe Patterson's statements on the game too.  Last, but not least, I believe this whole thing is even being discussed because the media loves nothing better than to stir the pot.

Forgive, fellas. but who is this Aggie?

Hook 'em!

 

[coolhorn]

If I had any journalistic ability at all (which I don't), I could write a complete article on what some very knowledgeable people have told me about cheating in the SEC.  For that matter, how our fine, upstanding friends in college Station have cheated in the past.  So let's just say a leopard cannot change it's spots, okay?

It's safe to say that the NCAA keeps A&M on speed dial.  The agricultural college has been caught playing by their own set of rules more than just about any school not named OU or Miami.  The difference between A&M and OU?  A&M's not nearly as good at bending or breaking the rules as OU. They get caught, OU only occasionally gets caught.  A&M to the SEC is a wet dream for the likes of Lyles and other "player agents" out there.  Anyone with even a smattering of knowledge could predict that when A&M joined up with the confederacy, they were gonna open up the bank again.  Let's just say that they're doing their best to make 'Ole Jackie Sherrill proud of 'em these days.

"Boo hoo, mean ol' teasips wouldn't share their LHN windfall with aggy"

That about summarize it?

this is considerably different than your 'all of a sudden, Aggies are pushing...' quote.

Not really, but if that's what you wanna believe, be my guest.

you said 'Aggies are pushing...' , but john sharp doesn't. most of its media driven, and that most fans on both sides have moved on. Really not sure what you're trying to say. You're all over the map.

Aggies are doing a whole lot more talking about resuming the game than UT people are.  I made no reference to Sharp in my OP.  Now, go practice being a grammar nazi with somebody else.

your grammar was fine. It's your logic that's confusing. First it was the ags pushing, then it was the media. Now we're back to the ags. I don't here much momentum to resume the game from anybody.

There is nothing wrong with my logic, except, obviously, to you.  I don't see anybody else lining up to correct anything I've said.  Read into what I've said anything you want to...it's a free country.  As for what you have or haven't heard or read, that's on you.  I'm not your social director.  There are plenty of blogs, both UT's and A&M's, with comments pro and con about resuming the series.  What there is not is any kind of mandate from either side to play the game again, and as I've stated, here and elsewhere, that sits well with me.  Now...you're welcome to find all the shaky logic you want in anything I've posted here.  I don't care to keep this going...it's wasted effort to try to hold a discussion with somebody who's made up his mind.  Have a good life.
