We must schedule them again.

First. . .everyone is allowed an opinion. . .mine is FLACK the whiney beotches . ..

2nd. . .have you seen the garbage they are scheduling OOC???? Good lord. . .it's baylor pathetic . ..and Baylor is a bunch of vaginas . . .I doubt they want to schedule real teams. . .

3rd. . .my ex doesn't have access to my check book anymore. ..why let the agroids back in???

 
Why should we play them again? Someone please tell me how that is better for UT?
Here is the way I see it:

Cons

1. It allows aggy an opportunity to fight in the title fight again

2. It give aggy one more opportunity to be put on the national stage

3. It gives the SEC one more opportunity to be put on the national stage

4. It gives aggy a huge windfall of revenue

5. It gives aggy another opportunity for national credibility

6. If we lose, it gives aggy credance to the Texas recruits

7. If we lose, it gives the SEC even more of a pipeline to Texas recruits

8. If we lose, it diminishes a recruits desire to play for Texas

9. It could, forever, change the landscape in the state of Texas

Pros

1. If we win, some UT fans think this is a way to gain back recruiting momentum.

2. Some UT fans just liked the Thanksgiving game

Someone explain to me how this game is nothing but lose/lose for my beloved Longhorns?

We have a cadre of fine coaches in place and if we take care of business, we don't have to panic and beg for a chance to play aggy. If there is any begging to be done it should come from them. They are the ones that ran like a rabbit from us. Screw 'em!
You bolded "If we win".

Let me add one more reason to the list of why we need to play Aggy again: We need to reassure our own fans that we're the better football program.

If our fans are having doubts about whether we would win the battle on the field, it's no wonder that recruits are going elsewhere. Sad but true.

Our new program is supposed to be all about toughness. The tough don't shy away from confrontation because they weighed the pros and cons and worried about what might happen if they lost. They put up their dukes, throw a few punches and take a few - knowing that the tougher team will be victorious in the end.

Let's leave the carefully considered posturing and politicing in the rearview mirror with Mack and DeLoss. It's time for the new tougher, stronger Longhorns to take on all comers. I wouldn't beg for it, but if Aggy will play us, let's punch them in the face as hard as we can and move on to the next one. This is football, not chess.

 
Wonder how many HS Sophomores if asked would know what 27-25 means, my guess is NOT many. Hell, even the ones that do know probably don't give a sh1t. They know what ESPN is...Phillips 66 game of the week, not so much.
As I stated above, beating them sorta nullifies the SEC talk.

I bet if you ask our current team, I'd bet they would want to play 'em.

Exactly how does beating a team that can finish no better than third or fourth (with Manziel) in one division of the SEC - nullify any talk at all?

(if we win) Aggy will continue to be Aggy, claim the turf was pre-wet by UT conspirators - and they move on in their cloud of delusion. Have we not learned anything after all these years?

If you want to affect SEC talk, beat Bama or LSU.

 
I in no way want to play aggy, unless in a bowl game, for at least 18 more years (new generation of youth). The mere fact that there continue to be aggy posts shows not enough time has elapsed. In fact, some Longhorns are starting to sound like the envious ags do. If Texas had played 2 FCS schools instead of BYU and Miss we'd have been 10-2 even with our injuries and QB. We lead; we don't follow. I don't envy, care about, want to emulate or play aggy. Some posters really need to enhance their calm and quit panicking. I actually miss a&m but I do NOT miss aggys and am happier not playing them. Be patient, the earth will quit wobbling.

This! So much aggie angst...I get it, but really this is prima facie evidence that we're too close to the conference realignment debacle and aggie's "victory" that was. Frankly, everything that could go wrong the last couple of years for Texas has. And 6-6 or 7-5 (with a much improved team) may be on the horizon for this year. All this proves is that even in the worst case scenario, where everything that could go wrong for Texas did and where all aggie's wildest dreams have come true...that they still are a middle of the road team... Aggie will always be...well, aggie... Let Strong do his thing. In a couple of years things very well may look completely different...

 
We have no need or reason to play A&M again. This is a very reactionary emotional post that has no logic in it whatsoever. Your sole reason to play them again is based off of a few recruits? Child please.
Winning championships will solve everything.
Sole reason?? Not so fast, Puncho Face-O! Consider the latest losses on the recruiting front more like the last straw. Some want to duke it out, others don't. But thanks for playing.
