Bama is going to use this as a door into Texas recruiting . What are you guys thinking?
That door has been open for several years. It opened when aggy slinked off to the $EC.

Bama is going to use this as a door into Texas recruiting . What are you guys thinking?
I love hypotheticals: "We would have beaten them if." "If Major Applewhite had played all year we would have won the National Championship." I think Bama was superior in every way in that game and Colt getting hurt, coupled with Saban's insane conservatism gives you guys an excuse. But that's just one take.
Of course I watched the game. Alabama went into a passive, conservative game plan that almost came back to bite them. They never would have done that had Colt not gotten hurt. Their entire team's mentality changed after that. Surely you're intellectually honest enough to admit that. Can't you just be glad you were able to have a measure of respectability after losing a very good QB and narrowly averting disaster in the Big 12 Championship game.Joe did you watch the game?
The Alabama 'D' knocked Texas quarterback Colt McCoy out of the Citi BCS Championship Game early, then made a big play late to stop a Longhorns comeback in a 37-21 victory Thursday that brought glory back to the program Bear built.
We were making a comeback with a redshirt QB. We had 5 turnovers and 4 were his INT's but yet Bama was superior. Colt being in that game the whole time would've been a different story.
It was 21-24 Bama in the 4th. Give me a break aggy.

What does that even mean?I would hope you are not ashamed of your team since you should not be afraid to come out of the closet.Anyone could make remarks in a darken movie house but not so much when the lights come on.
I just saw Saban switch from trying to win to trying not to lose by running up the gut EVERY play. Tech could have dropped them behind the line doing that. Bottom line: You have no more reason to believe you would have "run away with it" than I have that Bama would have destroyed you had their mentality and approach not changed. Hypotheticals

Ok,What is your favorite team in college football?What does that even mean?
Well that's not an easy question. I am a 1997 grad from Texas A&M, and they are TYPICALLY the team I want to win. However sometimes they make it difficult and we don't speak for a while.Ok,What is your favorite team in college football?
Ok,I understand your thoughts,watched the UCLA game last year and could not believe the ending and had to be a tough loss to handle and I wanted a Texas team to win on the west coast.Well that's not an easy question.

Joe, I actuallythink that UT upgrading their schedule and playing LSU, Bama, etc. is something they have to do. We have seen that in a normal year, a one-loss Big 12 Champion likely does not make the playoff. If UT beats Bama, loses a game along the way somewhere, wins the Big 12, they are in. If they lose to Bama, nothing lost. Plus, this should be another fun non-conference game to watch those two years as well as the LSU games.
Big 12 Championship game, not tournament. Sorry...baseball on my mind.I would assume a 1 loss Texas team that won the Big 12 tournament would be in the play off regardless of OOC schedule.
Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte and football coach Tom Herman joined forces to arrange a home-and-home series with Alabama, and there may be more where that comes from. Maybe even Texas A&M. “On the flight back from the Rio Grande Valley last night, Tom and I talked about scheduling more iconic brands home and home,” Del Conte told me Tuesday. “There are only about six or seven truly iconic brands.” (He named Alabama, Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame, USC, Florida and Penn State, but I’d add Clemson, Georgia, LSU, Florida State and Nebraska.) “We want to play an iconic team every year,” he said. “The fans want to see games like that. Those are the games Tom and I are committed to.” As for playing the Aggies, Del Conte said he had a conversation with A&M AD Scott Woodward a couple of months ago and told him, “As our schedules permit, we should consider scheduling a game.” Was Woodward interested? “I didn’t get that. We never got to that point.” Texas is booked through 2027 (home against Michigan), and Del Conte said, “You could do something after that season.”
I hope that Texas never plays aggy again.
I for one would love to see the A&M game reignited. I think it should be a home-and-home, every year, on Thanksgiving, just like it used to be. We can still keep the big school games (Michigan, USC, Alabama) for weeks 1-3 along with a gimme, and A&M will replace the "Tulsa"'s and "Maryland"'s on our schedule.
I guess that's why Woodward "didn't express interest"Not sure aggy wants to replace NW St, LA Monroe or UAB type teams with daddy though. I mean those are 3 wins!

we should play every year. CFB has already lost too much tradition in the chase for the all might dollar. tex vs a&m should be played every year. on thanksgiving regardless of the butthurt fans on both sides.I hope that Texas never plays aggy again.
