    There is no rivalry. They're in separate conferences and might as well be on separate planets at this point.

    A&M made its decision to SECede. It's not really part of the Texas football scene anymore, IMO. And I'm fine with that, as I'm sure they are or they wouldn't have made that decision.

    I love how they say Championships come from the SEC west, and granted, they do - so they're schedule is tough enough without Texas - but what good is it really when you're playing in a conference in which you can't compete?

    Not many fans from either side really care anymore. It's dead-Unless they play in a bowl game down the road

    The worm has a good chance to turn.

    Is this another rebuilding year for Texas too?
    The problem with socialism is, eventually you run out of other peoples' money.

    After the Aggies declined, Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte scheduled Alabama for those two years instead.
    Got to hand it to him, at least he went to the top and got a worthy opponent. A lot can happen between now and then. Texas could turn it around.

    Here is my bold prediction:

    Texas will be looking for another conference in the next 5 to 10 years (probably 2025).
    They will get stuck in the PAC 12 playing games after midnight on the road.
    They will regret their previous decisions including not firing DeLoss Dodds earlier.

    You guys really gonna sit here and tell me the rivalry is dead and that no one cares? Texas student body voted 90+% to bring it back.

    Thanksgiving feels weird without it....

    All my friends want it back, from both sides. I want it back. I don’t know who you guys are talking to that don’t care....

    Well you gotta admit A&M is at least trying to get there.

    Yeah. A&m declining to play to me is super weak.

    Going and scheduling bama on the hand, is not weak.

    DeLoss Dodds is the greatest AD in history. He took ESPN to the cleaners.

    They are having to pay a mediocre football program (granted, there are other sports, but the catalyst was football) approximately $300 million over a 20-year period which began in 2011.

    It doesn't matter how awful the Longhorns are. I suppose they do have to take the field rather than forfeit, but they get all those smackeroos regardless of how supremely they suck and regardless of whether anyone's watching.

    I am an aggie and I want the game back. Anyone who says they don't want it back is not telling the truth or they are neither a longhorn or an aggie.
    GO BUFFS!
