Has the state of Texas ever been dominated like that?

[oldhorn2]

Joeag....sorry you have to catch some of the heat that is directed at some of these aggy fools that only want to troll. I just wanted you to know that we CAN tell the difference between knuckleheads and knowledgeable fans.

Congrats on the strong close to your recruiting class.

Outstanding post, Clob.

At least we struggle in a legitimate conference... what’s tu’s issue?

Do not use the reference, "tu" again on this board or I'll ban you. You're fortunate that I haven't already pulled the plug on you.

 

[LonghornMM]

Dave, I understand your disdain for texas and rightly so. I too would feel the sting of disappointment if for the vast majority of my life, I had to look but a scant 95 miles away from my school and see another school that I considered to be a rival, continually one up me, without even necessarily trying to do so. I've said this before, manufacturing a "rivalry" with someone that's not really a "rival" is what aggy has tried to do with texas since the 40s. While some of our fans took the bait, those of us with a succinct understanding of history and facts never swallowed the hook. I'll give you a perfect example:

Texas Tech was always a step or two down the ladder of success when compared to aggy. Techsters looked up and realized if they could manufacture hatred amongst tech fans and aggy fans, a rivalry could be born. They sought not to climb to your level (a rung or two up the ladder) but instead sought to bring you down to theirs. They succeeded..... in masterful fashion. Aggy took the bait and the rivalry culminated with an all out brawl where aggy fans tore down a goal post and ended up ramming it into the stands and accidently into the faces of very, very prominent aggy boosters. You sunk to their level. They won.

For years, aggy has tried for years to bait Texas into just this scenario...... but you've failed miserably. 75-37-5, by any stretch of the imagination, is not a rivalry. That is an owning. That is orange a$$ owning marroon a$$.

A true rivalry is when two team, over a looooong period of time, have similar win loss records. (see texas v ou, mich v Ohio St, auburn v alabama)

So, in short, I feel your frustrations and I empathize with your disdain and I understand (to a degree) what it's like to be second fiddle. I also understand the negative feelings of nostalgia when your fan based moved away from one/two superior teams into a new conference where you yet again have one/two superior teams. It's like the worst groundhog day ever! Of course we secretly feel badly for you, but when you open your mouth and incredibly idiotic verse and scripture fly out of it, the rest of us stop feeling bad for you.

In short, you are who you are. And the faster you realize this, the more comfortable you will be in your own skin and the more at peace you will be with your place in the world.

Once again, clob drops the mic and knocks it out of the park. Grohl just got owned.

Whats the big deal MM?....if he wants to talk about Tulsa who cares?...Then again why would he on a UT board?

 

[BobWeltlich]

This troll coming in here bumping gums when we just closed the number 3 class in the nation. All Herman has to do is win simple as that and we will be laughing all the way home as aggy tears will adding water to our rivers and lakes.

Not really because you guys play in the Big 12 and not every year will you be able to find kids excited to play in front of 35K most Saturdays in Ames, Manhattan, Lawerence, etc as opposed to playing in front of 90-100K most weeks in the SEC!

 

[BobWeltlich]

Dude, put down the pipe. aggy hasn't won anything of significance in forever, and you have the stones to run over here and puff your chest out like a&m is some power? aggy is nothing more than a conduit for the $EC to expand into the Texas market. You guys aren't competitive in the $EC and are being used, but you don't want to admit it. Get back to us when you win something. Until then, STFU.

We won the SEC in both basketball and baseball in 2016. Next?

You must have confused them with Pyle Stadium in the second half of most SEC games.

Omg I'm sorry i thought bad of you. I didn't know you were actually retarded.

 

[outhereincali]

Not as bad as the in conference scheduling for Texas... you play one team in conference every year who should beat you, and that’s it. Eight games that should be gimmes.

Tell you what homeboy. Since you think the Big XII is so mediocre then why don't you aggies play them? And to make it fair since the cow college was a middle of the pack team last year they can play middle of the pack Big XII teams. You know OSU, KSU, and ISU. And you know what all three teams would have beaten you aggies.

And another thing one Texas school left for the SEC. Another Texas school, TCU, was brought in to replace the cow college. And you know what the Big XII got the better end of the deal. One last thing

Texas 27
cow college 25
forever

 

[MiccoMacey]

Yeah, BlowU is legit. No argument. You should wipe the floor with the toadies and Wildcats every year... but you don’t.

Dude....WTF??? Why attack us?

Not trying to interfere with a good Longhorn-Aggie slap fight, but “BlowU”???

And I love your band, BTW.

 

[oldhorn2]

Omg I'm sorry i thought bad of you. I didn't know you were actually retarded.

Metcalf...it wasnt his fault.His first assignment at aTm in Readin' class was to decypher the writing on the wall of the stadium. No wonder he thinks they won.

We did? I must have missed it. Did we kick Saban's ass? Who'd we beat the in the SEC championship game? Am I senile or are you retarded? I can't remember.
If what you say is true we owe Sumlin a huge apology.

 

[clob94]

Let's qualify that with, you tied kentucky in the regular season for best conference record in basketball, and then got spanked in the conf tourney. Now, yes, you did win in baseball. You didn't do anything with it, but yes, you won in baseball.

But if you want to start bumping gums about baseball, you're looking at an even greater hole to dig yourself out of than a football argument.

 

[GuaranteedFresh!]

If when you say "we" you are referring to an sec team then yes, "we" (an sec team) did in fact win the sec championship game in every sport.....every year.
The only aggys at the football championship game were in the stands, no matter what your wish wall has painted on it. Do you even watch football?

As far as attendance, PAC12 & ACC were worse than the BIG 12 in 2017.

Average attendance
SEC - 75,074
BIG10 - 66,227
BIG12 - 56,852
PAC12 - 49,601
ACC - 48,422

Kind of crazy how poorly supported PAC12 & ACC teams are. ACC is actually a good conference, hard to believe they are dead last.

If they put a bball court on the 50yd line they'd sell out every game. Overall, football is 2nd fiddle as far as acc fans go.

They'll probably end up second in guys drafted in football. Why would they want to play with no one watching? I guess it is just geography, schools in the SE have such a huge advantage in getting elite athletes. Florida & Georgia are tops in the super elite players.

 

[RoboCocks21]

Holy crap when did @Metcalf #2 come back?

 

[clob94]

You've got to look at the pac12 demographics. Where are they located.... Seattle, LA, Oregon, boulder, phoenix--- these are not football "hotbeds" from a fandom standpoint. Persons of self perceived superior intellect don't gravitate to such a barbaric sport like football. Plus, it's really hard to keep the kale chips and soy dogs from falling through the grill slits.

He did. Fresh off a 6 month stint in the Gregory portland jail. Apparently he took a crap during a GP wildcats football game at midfield.

Missed you @Metcalf #2 and I wished you'd have given me a heads up about your plans. I could have called in a favor or two and maybe gotten you probation.

 

[outhereincali]

Omg I'm sorry i thought bad of you. I didn't know you were actually retarded.

Metcalf are you really back? I missed you. Two years ago I had some Dylan Haines jokes for you and then you left. Despite DH's departure we had a great secondary last year and if you followed recruiting then you know we are going to have an awesome secondary this year and I'm sure an old db like you is smiling.

 

[Metcalf #2]

Robo, yeah I finally decided to log in again.

Clob, you know I didn't mean GP. Lol

Cali, I do not miss GDDH. Yes I do love this DB class. So much I can't figure out who my favorite is. Could easily end up the best secondary we've ever had. All of them are very physical, which means TH is getting his type of players.

I think Davis is primed for a big year, and he should hold down his corner, but guys like Boyd and Jones better step it up, or they'll be watching these freshmen play.

Sterns, Foster, Cook, Green, and Jamison, every single one has the potential to come in and take over a spot immediately. I love Overshown, too, and would love to see a 6'4" bruiser of a safety back there, but I think Sterns and Foster are just too damn good. I think Overshown ends up being another Drew Kelson, but even better.

 

[JoeAg]

I think almost everyone will start feeling some attendance pressure if ticket prices keep going up.

 

[oldhorn2]

I wish they had a way to give actual butts in the seats attendence at KO..then again at beginning of.....2nd quarter...and beginning of 4th quarter

No financial benefit but it might show the tendencies of different fanbases....do they show up late?....do they leave early?....do they come at all?.....That way all of us couch sittin', smack talkin' know nothings would really have something to spout off about on these message boards.

Not sure about the early game stuff, but teams who win 10+ would kill it in 4th qtr attendance. That is driven more by the product than the fan base. Watching your team take an was whooping makes beating traffic a higher priority.

Aggy has gone 20 seasons without a conference title, despite their stolen valor stadium wall.

Aggy has gone 79 years since their one legit national title. Closer to the Civil Wat than present day.

You have to be in the top 4 to make the playoffs. Aggy has two top 4 finishes all time. 1939 and 1956.

Aggy is a red headed stepchild. Nothing more.

[BigBrotherAgs]

The same conference that produced a Kansas State bowl game rout of Aggie a year ago? The same conference that the Aggies won exactly once in its 15 years, and even that was by a monumental upset? Just checking.

It used to be a great conference with back when there were 5-6 pretty good teams. As it has stood for the past several years, it has been the worst of the Power 5 conferences. The conference certainly needs Texas to be good to increase the draw of the conference. No one cares if TCU is good nationally. They don't care if Baylor, K-State, OSU or any other of those teams are good. They don't have a national brand. You have Texas and OU which are great brands, but you have to play teams that the country doesn't care about which gives it a bad name no matter how good you are. OU and Texas both need to jump ship and head to greener pastures and I think both schools would benefit tremendously.
