LSU is a natural rival for A&M.
The SEC-bound Aggies have said they’d love to keep playing UT as a non-conference foe, but Longhorns athletic director DeLoss Dodds has said the school’s football schedule is full at least through 2018. That isn’t the case for all sports, but so far A&M has come up dry in scheduling future contests of any sort with UT.
“There doesn’t seem to be nearly as much interest from the other side,” A&M athletic director Bill Byrne said Monday.
Well, duh, Bill. What did you think would happen when you walked out on the Big 12.
Well it does say “goodbye to Texas University” in that completely weird war chant. It does sort of have a catchy tune tho.
This is getting even weirder. Latest word this morning (from the New York Post) is that Missouri wants to bolt and join the SEC...and that the Big 12 is going to get West Virginia from the Big East to fill that hole. Talk about throwing geography out the window if West Virginia joins the Big 12.

The Aggies can already start booking their rooms in advance in Shreveport for years to come as the only bowl they will be going to is the Poulan Weedeater Independence Bowl. Maybe they can start playing Texas there?
Ah, college football - where every team is undefeated or almost undefeated and in a bowl game - and where scheduling is apparently more important than actually being the better team.

Yesterday's reports of Missouri leaving for the SEC jumped the gun. Still may happen but it's not a deal at this time.
I have always liked Texas A&M. I also like traditions.
They need to change a couple tho. Get rid of the all male cheerleaders whatever you call them. Actually if I had my way, no men’s sports would have any male cheerleaders.
Also get rid of the idea that it was anyone but the teams fault if they lose. I like the idea of taking responsibility but pretending it was because you didn’t yell loud enough is simple dishonesty.
Also anything which even hints at being gay. Yes, I know they aren’t really gay but it just looks bad, even weird.
