It is right and good to hate the aggies.

We told y'all how weird they were before they split for the SEC.  Now ya know first-hand!

Somehow I've turned into a Texas-stumping Longhorn shill, as evidenced by this thread.  This is the last season I relinquish TV rights to my wife.

it's true. he hates the aggies that much. just natural to him.

They're weird but I don't hate them.  They simply haven't beaten us enough or been important enough to ever hate, and I'm too young to care much about the old days when we frequently played ooc.  If I hate something about them, it's how they tried to manufacture a heated rivalry with us after they broke up with Texas, and the SEC went along with it.  We get it, you escaped what you perceived to be your abusive ex, but we just work at the shelter, we're not your new boyfriend, and you clearly are still fixated on your old one.  

Anyway, while I was never a Longhorn fan, I couldn't blame someone for being confused.  Was a time I made a few games a year at DKR and knew quite a bit about them, and had many burnt orange friends and so engaged in Texas-talk probably more than anything else.  I always knew I'd marry a Longhorn, but the team wasn't the preference there....the odd fact of the matter is the senses of Texas gals were weakened by the smell of crawfish and they let me punch way above my weight class, while Louisiana girls always saw me for what I was, an average looking schmuck of average means and average intelligence with a grumpy personality.  I wasn't looking for a Longhorn, per se, I just knew they were the only ones that would have me.

I'm Amos.

Anyway, there is the element of truth on my side in this discussion, so maybe I'm not a shill so much as I just like pointing out facts.

Mike is a nice enough looking fellow, really, but he did punch above his weight.

Louisville sucks.  Or I guess they just suck vs teams with 3-9 records.
W by 7 over 3-9 Indiiana
L by 17 to 3-9 Pitt
W by 7 over 3-9 Virginia
.
I'd take any of the 1-loss teams over FSU.  The ACC blows.

That was kind of my exact thought.

it’s sort of funny, we talk about the playoff taking up all the oxygen. But in truth, we really like talking about that kind of stuff.

Because when it’s all said and done, the choices usually aren’t that hard.

You serious, Clark? ;)


I think the debate between FSU-Texas-Alabama-Georgia is going to be pretty tough for them.
