Has the state of Texas ever been dominated like that?

[Mister Moses]

We’re not going anywhere. We make our own conference. We don’t have to rely on good teams in our conference to feel good about ourselves like some lessers.

This is correct Scholz and that is what another poster pointed out. Three conference championships isn’t being the alpha dog. Now if OU had been in another conference, Texas would look good. You guys are playing my daddy can whip your daddy. I call a draw on obsession with the aggies and horns.
Only on message boards though. I don’t care who anyone’s a fan of. Idiots pick their friends and judge character that way. That is some shallow thinking.

I didn't see anyone involve ou. Granted our big 12 resume in football is not as good as ou's but our bottom line is much better as well as our overall resume in conference championships. What I think Sholz is saying is that we are the crown jewel of the conference as far as dollars go, and all of cfb for that matter. With that being said, there's more to conference alignment than just football. Research is huge as well and we are a leader in this category. Fact is that we could be running the SEC like we do the big 12 if we wanted to but we did not choose that because we actually have friends and UT fans have friends at the water cooler and that's more important than looking the best as aggie tries to do with the sec,sec, nonsense.

And you guys say we are delusional. Wow.

yet another internet argument gone from the sublime to the ridiculous.

Don't know if y'all care or not but, I'm taking a glorious top 10ish deuce right now. Perfect consistency.

Didn't say we were the Alpha Dog of the conference. OU has definitely handled their business in conference. Although UT does have the more recent national title.

What I'm saying to the aggy is that we don't have to run off to another conference to feel good about ourselves. That seems to be their only sales pitch. "We lose to good teams in big stadiums!"

 

[JoeAg]

At least we have that.

Why do you think someone/anyone would be elated?

I could be wrong, but I would think you would love playing in the ACC or Pac 12 just for the teams you would get to play. You would have much better home games and your money would be greater moving forward. If you like the ties to the Big 12 and are great where you are, then my bad. I just think when you look at a schedule and see at least 4-5 big games every year, you would enjoy that. Even when you guys are good again, you won't sell out for TCU no matter how good they are.

It's not if...it's when. Again, I get defending your conference, but if you get excited for Iowa St, Kansas, Baylor, Tech, West Virginia, and TCU then more power to you. Enjoy! You sell out your stadium for any of those teams no matter how good you are.

 

[BigBrotherAgs]

There is no rush. We are part of a conference, not just a lone gun. When the change takes place, I'm sure we will act with our friends within the conference. Likely this splits on state lines, politics and all.... The Big 12 is at a disadvantage geographically and demographically at least in the north. Unless agriculture and the commodity universe goes to the moon and the midwest gets an influx of tv sets, the Big 12 may be in trouble. Fact is that we did not bail on our friends. Texas A&M went begging to the SEC and showed no loyalty. Pretty sad IMO.

Loyalty I will disagree. This is a business and the best thing for A&M was to move. If any of you are offered more money to go on to another better job, most of you are taking it.

That's just not true.

Now you are contradicting yourself.

 

[cml7374]

Doesn't matter where/what conference you are in......i think it wont be long where a Super Conference is formed. Where top tier teams will leave their current conference and spurn the NCAA. This would favor both TEXAS and AtM.......TEXAS would move to this new SuperConference and AtM would battle Arkansas, S Carolina,Mississippi schools for top dog in SEC.....because Florda,LSU,Bama and Georgia would be gone to this Super Conference.

 

[Scholz]

aggys love the conference talk. It’s all they have.

 

[q1w2e3]

I love how they say, "why would we want to be in the Big 12 playing Kansas, Iowa St, and Baylor when we can play Alabama, LSU, and Florida (once every 5 years)". It's never "why would we want to play two of college football's seven blue bloods in Texas and OU every single year when we can play Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Arkansas, South Carolina, and Miss. St?"

 

[oldhorn2]

If we wont sell out against TCU....How does aTm do attendance wise against Vanderbilt and Kentucky? Nobody knows how they will do against Georgia since they apparently have only been in the secsecsec 6 years which isnt long enough to get around to them.

 

[Scholz]

Not to mention their half empty stadium when they're playing their multiple high school teams every year in the absolutely pitiful OOC schedule they've created.

 

[RolloTomassi0309]

i was at the south carolina game. it may or may not have been an official sell-out. but if it was, a lllllottt of those people came dressed as empty seats

 

[JoeAg]

We didn't play Vanderbilt or Kentucky last year. I still say the price of tickets is starting to price people out a little.
