Nothing to be sorry about Ponyman. It must be hard for you to admit that OU is "equal" to TU as far as the Big XII goes. I mean with OU owning more Big 12 and National Championships that Texas, more weeks ranked in the top 10, higher winning percentage, etc.

For the record...A&M was the 1st BIG XII Champ and they do have a National Championship. granted it was a long time ago, lol

You need to recheck what you consider staying in the top ten "year after year" because TU is not as consistent as OU.

If TU wants to keep being a big fish in a little pond, cool with me. I like that A&M has the balls to go to a bigger & better conference. No one can argue that the SEC is head and shoulders above the Big XII. TAMU will take it's lumps in it's first few years in the SEC, I'd be a fool to think otherwise.

In the long run though, how many Texas HS recruits will shift from the Horns in an even more watered down Big XII (if it survives) to A&M in a conference with better overall competition, national exposure, and the last 6 national champs?

One more thing...how cool is it that TU's stadium is named after a Oklahoma native?

You know you bring up some very interesting points.
Yeah OU has had some good years over the past ten year and they have also put some Great fish in the pond at the next level.
I will be the first to say OU is one of the Top ranked Teams in the nation DUH
you made a paragraph of facts trying to presuade us UT Fans that OU is high in the big12 NAH Really ? doesnt take a masters dagree to see that lol

Funny how you just cant say Texas you have to say TU because saying
Texas will make you feel little lol IMO
TEXAS and ATM are both Very good schools where you get a GREAT EDUCATION.
I got a education from Texas and have Family who went to ATM.
Funny thing Texas didnt teach me to dislike anything and everything about ATM but every XMAS my family members who went to ATM feel like they have to wash there hands after everything I thouch


Good ATM wants to go to the SEC ( dont ever expect them to get to the top there ) You think the big12 has politics ? Talked to Tenn lol They will tell you about Politics in the SEC.

You think if Atm leaves and The big12 or whatever it is brings in someone else its going to make a big difference ?
The OU game is what gives TEXAS there hype each year The ATM games means nothing to the BCS.

The SEC wants everyone in the Big12 to come join but everyone but ATM would rather go to the PAC12/10.


oh and BTW

Charter , ATT uverse , Direct TV , Time warner have all said they will carry the LHN. The university is still working on what all is going to be on this network before its released.

I know this because my neighbor works for direct sales and she already showed me where its in writing before mid season the REGULAR sports package will include the LHN.



If or when TEXAS ATM goes to the SEC have fun being a whipping post.
Oh and you think ATM will play Texas still ? WRONG if they bolt to the SEC its DONE lol already been said it will be done. Funny how every UT Fan could care less if its done or not. Yes its a great rivalry but atleast we dont have to hear on the years we beat you " yeah but we beat you in ( name another year ) "


I understand some UT fans just like every fan base have fans who think there $hit doesnt stink lol well guess what everyones does even Aggies lol



You know why I put the ATM game on my schedule as the one we need to win every year ? Beating a Aggie just to shut them up is helarious
I pull for OU , OKie St , Baylor anyone over ATM why ? just to watch ATM fans sniff.
I would pick all big12 teams to win when we dont play them but ATM.



Its sad just sad how ATM makes a Football game so dam personal in life yeah its fun and I bleed UT football win or lose but dam its not life.

TU

just say

The university of Texas and The University of Texas ATM I promise if you say it Kyle field wont colapse and your family will accept you in there house for XMAS.















isnt it sad I would pull for a Sooner over an Aggie.

Atleast sooners are not obnoxious like Most Aggies.

It's interesting how college football fans get so worked up and forget that the purpose of college is education... I remember my cousin giving me a hard time about the Cougs being so bad (I was at WSU when the NFL announcers were using the phrase "couged it" to refer to losing badly) - I reminded him that I was at the school as a pharmacy student, not as a football player....
I still love the Cougs, win or lose. You can't spend that much time in a podunk town like Pullman, WA and not be a fan for life...

Are you an aggie or a Pooner...or just a want to be fan? Texas & OU are Big XII Football, I am sorry that when the Big XII began in 1996, UT and OU hoped that Neb, aTm, and the Buffs would "SHOWUP". If you want to watch 24/7 of OU football...go for it. I want to watch top ranked UT Football, but also top ranked UT Basketball, Baseball, Track, Golf, Swimming.......Men's and Women's.

Jeez, you 2 are a bit upset over all of this aren't you? And the Aggie fan is supposed to be the one with the inferiority complex in the Big XII? You guys seriously need to quit reading into thing so much.

Ponyman,

Wow, you hit me with bold and italics. Glad I escaped the CAPS lock! Dude, you threw out some stats and numbers...so did I, why so hostile?

The point of what I was saying is that for all the great things that Texas (you happy Jekyll? LOL) has accomplished, it's not like they are alone. I'm not a Sooner fan but I can appreciate what they have accomplished just as much as I can appreciate what TU has done. I just like the underdog. Don't get me wrong, I'm an Aggie but I'm also a Texan. So, when the TU and OU play, don't get it twisted, I want to see Texas boys beat Oklahoma boys every time.

And yeah A&M was 1998....oops, my bad. '98...'96...whatever, it's been that long and it's been the only one. Guess I should be able to keep better track of a single conference championship, huh?

Jekyll,

"TU" is 2 letters , "Texas" is 5 letters, and "University of Texas" is 17 letters. Um, TU is just faster to type, kind of like you typing ATM instead of TAMU or Texas A&M University. Sorry, but that's it, LMAO. No great conspiracy or anything. You did know it's A&M and not ATM right?

Saying TU instead of UT is from the Aggie War Hymn. What, you've never told an Aggie joke? Lighten up, this is supposed to be fun.

Sorry about how Aggies relatives treat you, but I'm not them. I have cousins that attended TU and my sister graduated from TT, we all have fun picking at each other and game days are a blast.

Everyone in the Big XII wants to go PAC 12? That's not what OU voted last year. They voted to go to the SEC with A&M to keep a natural geograhic rivalry before the Big XII "resolved" things.

As far as TLN...read what I said again...so far, no one has picked it up. I never said no company ever will. What kind of fool would think that TLN won't get picked up in the State of Texas? They've been working on TLN for a year now, it kicks off in less than two weeks. It'll be a last minute deal, but someone has to give. Neither side wants to be that guy.

Cable deals in the State of Texas are big time money. Wasn't it ESPN and Time Warner that had the big blow up last year over cable rates in Texas?

You think A&M will get beat up in the SEC? I already said that too....for a little while maybe. If A&M is so terrible, and TU so superior to everyone, then why doesn't TU schedule a game against a SEC Team? LSU is right next door and Arkansas was a conference foe in the SWC.

As far as the annual Horns-Aggies game, yeah, TU said last year that they would end the series. TAMU said they would want to keep it.

You say that Aggies make it personal but you will pick ANY team over A&M and that's not personal? Damn, even I stick with the home state. So to answer your question....yes, it is somewhat sad you would pick the Sooners over the Aggies. But that's your choice.

All looks OK. QB (Robinson) seems fine . No running back stand out.That may hurt. Not sure on the kicking game last years punter on 5 game suspension.
But all in all things seem to be going for the good. New offence will make defence better . (clock time)
I will give them 7 wins remember we play a Nebraska and give up a soft big ten team in there place. Media picks 7 to 8 wins . They are on the way back.
Real good recruiting class so far 2012.(top 5 so far)
