Also meant to add that A&M can never be counted on to be an auto-W for UT, especially at Kyle Field.  Like OU, that's one of those games where the record doesn't always mean what it ought to mean.  

i.e., it's possible A&M could be an easy game for LSU and simultaneously be a difficult/tricky game for UT.

Yup, all true.  Even if Texas and LSU are identically good teams this year, the Longhorns almost certainly won't find it as easy to beat the Ags in College Station, as the Tigers did in Baton Rouge.

It's also an appreciable difference in time.  We got them early in the season....there's a chance A&M could turn it around by season's end.  Some teams get better throughout a season.....others sometimes seem to fall off a cliff.  

I'm not happy about going to Tennessee to end the year, we've hardly ever beaten the Vols....ever.....I'm hoping they're in that latter category, not the former :)

Our record vs UT over the last 30 years is horrendous, both home and away. 

Squandered a golden opportunity in both 24 and 25 to win and play for the SEC, blew them both. 

Wins vs UT in 97, 99, ,06, 07,’10. 

obviously there was a gap in play, but that’s the list.

And BTW, many times in that stretch we were favored to win. It wasn’t always a case of us sucking, but we were definitely horrible in the early to mid 2000’s.

Horns certainly overachieved in herp-derping their way into a win in College Station in 2011.  Ags were definitely the better team that year.

I thought the Horns were going to blow the Aggies off the field in 2005.  In comes a backup QB and I'm thinking "it will be even worse."  

That silly Aggie squad pressed the Horns hard, from what I recall.  That backup QB came in and started running the option, and the Longhorns defense had trouble adjusting.
