I see no denials that A&M is indeed a B12 team. So it is decided, so let it be.
The conference is going to try and force us to be blood-rivals, just like they did us with Arkansas in a 20-yr experiment that never, ever took. I spend most Thanksgivings with my family in Houston who are all Aggies, and they really try to talk smack, but it's obvious their heart is not in it the way it always was with UT. All I have to do is mention the Horns and you can almost see the blood flowing harder in their face.
But just like Florida as a lock-in, the conference is convinced that organic things can be manipulated by dumbasses in Birmingham.
Whatever. I guess with no real rivals I don't actually care what our schedule plays out like. I guess I should just take a win where I can find it and be impressed that our spineless AD actually got us out of Thanksgiving games. Alleva actually accomplishing something that the university wanted that the SEC and another school didn't.....yeah, I can hardly believe it either.
