No love lost here

Apparently the Aggies and 'horns even hate each other's homer reporters...

I appreciate the spirit of this but the A&M Chancelor and the university need to take the high road with this and let a supportive reporter or someone else write a counterpoint.

Yeah, I think there is more to this mess than Sharp wants folks to believe. There's no doubt that aTm has some big issues at the moment.

Unit these two idiot programs find a way to restore a great in state football rivalry, I am very content in watching them tear themselves apart.

Neither UT or A&M seems to understand that they need each other more than ever before. A&M needs UT for their fans to have a competitive win against a name program that their fans would enjoy more than the random win over Arkansas, Auburn, or Alabama (which are all great wins). UT needs A&M for recruiting and to actually host a game in Austin every other year that the fanbase would be excited to go see.

But I'm of the belief that this game ain't getting played anytime soon--the Longhorns are too arrogant to want it back at the top levels and the Aggies are too irritated that they wouldn't keep the series going when they left to go to the SEC and DeLoss Dodds told them that "We will decide when we play again, not you." Other than legislative demand, I don't see it happening anytime soon. Plus, both schools want to use it as a recruiting chip, so right now, as UT is further down and playing in the weaker Big XII, the Aggies have been able to get better recruiting classes because of better seasons and better conference mates. When the shoe gets on the other foot, you can be sure that UT isn't gonna jump up and down to play A&M if they are down, too.

All I know is that when both teams are mediocre, this is when, historically, that some of the Texas private schools and UH have done very well. This year was yet another season that proved this point.
