They surely are. Tech is also a rival. Just disagreeing that OU is not the Horns top football rival and most anticipated game each and every year on the schedule.ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iโve lived and worked with fans from both sides my whole life. The Texas fans I know will tell you everyday and twice on Sundayโs they would rather lose to OU than A&M. They post about โaggyโ all day while mentioning Sooners a couple of times a year. They still get worked up about A&M when the two havenโt met on the field in a decadeโฆ. I get you tools think youโre too good to be rivals with A&M, but itโs the way it is. That doesnโt take away from the elite experience that the RRR is.ย As a Texas alum and fan I would prefer a meteor strike taking us all out than losing to either OU or A&M in any sport.ย SInce the likelihood of that happeneing I would rather lose to OU than A&M.ย Reason?ย I respect OU more.ย And, OU is a rival. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, their fans post here more than they do the OU thread as well.ย ย I can't speak as an alum, because I am not. I'm simply, as you like to put it, a 't-shirt fan'. That said, I have to agree with Hookemhorns88 here; I believe there is greater respect between Texas and OU than there is either of those schools and A&M. That is NOT to say A&M isn't a rival. I can't stand for Texas to lose to either, but I too would rather they lose to OU than A&M, because I believe it's a more respectable loss.ย 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyFootball Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I've always thought that actions speak louder than words. Texas fans (t-shirt and otherwise) here post about A&M and in the A&M thread a LOT more than OU, who they claim is a rival. Strange behavior when one of those teams is a "rival" and the other is not.ย We've long pointed out that A&M lives rent free in the heads of some people. For it not to be over a rivalry makes it more baffling to me. But to each their own! Maybe it was the top recruiting class that has people in a frenzy at the moment.ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustAFan11 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 As a Texas fan I donโt want to lose to either OU or A&M. I absolutely hate Oklahoma, the state, the school, the Sooner nickname, and double hate Bob Stoops weird finger.ย With A&M for me personally I just feel like theyโre weird. The school, the Aggie nickname, their traditions, and the yell leaders. Now I will say my opinion of A&M was originally formed through my time in my FFA class. I lived in the metroplex in the 90s and donโt know if I ever met an Aggie fan until I moved to east Texas just before I started high school.ย I follow all sports and just as much womens as I do mens. So I want to beat OU and A&M in everything.ย ย Saying all that, the regular posters on here are all cool in my book. Rivalries are fun and I enjoy the back and forth. Itโll only increase when all these teams play each other regularly in a couple years.ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WETSU Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Iโm so glad everyone is finally using NIL now. A&M doesnโt have many commitments and when youโre buying everyone and still not getting commitments this cycle everyone else must have upped their bids.

I said all that to get to here, after that huge class Jimbo can be more selective. As a fan who loves commits thatโs not ideal but I gotta trust that come December that weโll have a top 5 class.

Connor Stroh was in camp last week. Kid looked better as a guard than a tackle. A&M needs tackles. The other tackle who committed I donโt think was a huge A&M target according to 247. Bisonis, Shanahan, Sewell seem to be the targets at tackle. Out of state kid and in state kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
