Read his post in this thread. Pure gold! I'm surprised he hasn't been called a sip troll yet. texags.com/main/forum.reply.asp?topic_id=1984100&forum_id=5
The irony continues.... a&m administrators and big whigs never in their wildest imaginations figured that this rival game would just go away. Their plan all along was to One-Up the Burnt Orange nation by "buddying up" with the SEC -- and still play this game and all that it has meant, like, forever. To include the connections with the State and State of Texas High Schools, etc. etc. etc. Now it appears the loss of this game, the impact of this final game, all of that is vastly overriding all things about going to the SEC. IF... IF... going to the SEC was that much of a big fricking deal, then this game would not even be talked about. Can you imagine any major program in the SEC whining over some game with another program in their vicinity? Or, whining or anything, for that matter. Again... I contend and I have contended all along, that if this game means this much, then it HAD TO HAVE BEEN part of the plan all along. And must just be galling the hell out of Aggieland. And this is why I say to deny them completely for probably longer than this generation and the next. After all, Aggie made it a point... made it an emphatic point... that this is a one hundred year plan.
It had to be in their plan to have their cake and eat it too. There's no way they planned to abandon marching down Congress Ave., midnight yell practice at the state capitol, the second verse of their fight song, and even unofficoal off campus bonfire. By leaving the conference and therefore taking themselves off our our schedule for the forseable future, they've inadvertantly killed off the majority of thier cherished traditions. Well, at least they still have their milkmen to write home about...
