He specified, "with the capability of causing a shift in the standings," and not "a guaranteed win for the Longhorns" so the Aggies aren't really applicable.
I distinctly recall knocking the Longhorns out of the CCG more than once over the years. Yes, it was lopsided for awhile but utee as you are well aware there was a time when A&M took 9/10 from the horns. I think we would’ve taken at least 4 of the last 6 had we stayed.

LOL.  Of course you do.  And yet your administration made its 100-year decision, and will have to live with it.

Also, 27-25.  SCOREBOARD.

MORE than once????
Here’s a trivia question for you:
That happened in 2006 and... when else?

See how that works?  Avoid the Longhorns and assume a 67% winning percentage.

Much better than the results when actually playing.

That whole "100-year decision" thing cracked me up.

As if college football will still exist in 100 years.

As if the same conference structure will exist in 100 years.

As if Texas A&M hasn't become an online degree factory and abandoned football in 100 years.

And other stuff.

see thats where Georgia made a huge mistake
they should have skipped the game and just assume they would beat a 4 loss team

Most recent post on the PAC board is November.  Yes please, let's join this conference.

Bitter much?  I’m not sure what you’re trying to say or convey but I think all parties will agree that moving to the SEC was a very good move for A&M even if results on the field have been mediocre at best. 
Also, depending on who you want to believe A & M was willing, at first to play the game regardless of conference affiliations. 
Personally, even though we would have probably won a majority of the fictional contests played during that time just based on overall records and the finish of the teams, I’m glad we put a hiatus on the game and I’d like to keep it that way for awhile yet.

Bitter?  Lulz.  Nope, I'm good. :)

A&M's administration did what it thought best, and most Aggie fans I know in real life are happy or at least content with the move, although my i s c & a aggie wife still doesn't much care about the SEC teams y'all now face, when she grew up with the Aggies playing all of the major  Texas schools instead.

I miss the rivalry and would like to see the game played again, but I don't think the logistics are ever really going to set up for it to be played annually anymore.  Eventually I'm sure it will pick back up as a semi-regular home-and-home series, played early in the season,  maybe two years out of every 8 or 10.  I'll look forward to it when that happens.
