Tom Herman calls for A&M game

This thread is ridiculous. I’ve read this regularly topic for a good while. I don’t have Alzheimer’s yet. I get your drift thanks for bringing it up again. Scared
No offense taken. Herman obviously has more say than I do, but still very little. Some rich old farts with giant egos will be making this decision, and I can't imagine either side giving in.
I don't ever want to play them again in fb.
Why? Because on Thanksgiving night 2011, on the very last play, in the very last game in the immortal words of Craig Way
Justin Tuckers kick is gooooood and one last time the Texas Longhorns have broken the hearts of the aggies. I hope the powers that be in Austin never, ever, change it.

Or maybe he knows the easiest way to the playoffs with only three non-conference games is A&M every year and two non power fives. Herman is the coach, he's not sitting in the stands or on the couch watching TV. He wants championships.
He knows he will have a free pass if he has at least one power five, and always has the excuse of he has to play the in-state rival like everyone else. He knows he will beating them more years than not, and he can then play the Ohio St's, Michigan's, USC's, Alabama's, LSU's ...etc... in the playoffs instead of week 2.
I think it would be great to bring the game back because it's a traditional rivalry. Not because we need the game (we can obviously replace them with higher profile OOC games). I just think college football is the poorer for it the more of these games go away that's all.
But if the aggys hate us so much or are scared to damage their PR or don't care about it then so be it.

No
I liked it when it was our long standing turkeyday tradition but that has ended. Any future meeting should only be in the playoffs or a shared crappy bowl to juice the ratings.

Personally, I could stomach it but some changes need to be made to the current football format. I am in favor of a pure conference champion coming from each of 4 major conferences. I would get rid of OOC games and opt for more conference games or more playoff games. I could see Texas in a conf. of 16 teams out a combo of the Big 12 and Pac. Any way, Aggy would be on Thanksgiving at the end of the season and not be a major impact to the final outcome each teams conference standing.
You'd think the aggys would want us back on Thanksgiving. At least they beat us sometimes.
Do the aggy cheerleaders have those hand and body signs when they cheer, "sec, sec, sec"?
That is funny, in a sad way. LSU has kicked our asses so much I just have to laugh.
Would you like to post the past few years? We can do that too. Bottom line is you need the game..we don’t. Whether you like it or not, SEC schedule is good enough. Yours isn’t. We could have a pointless debate about conference strength and what not but perception is reality and all outside of your conference don’t give the Big 12 any respect. I’ll wait for someone to waste their time to post the past several years of strength of schedule. If you think you would walk through it easier in the SEC I’ll snicker at that as well, but amuse me.
