Game Thread: The other games today thread (11/29/24)

A&M has the imagination of a dead skunk on offense. They haven't been able to run up the middle on Texas the entire game yet their key play of the game is the same hand off up the middle. Plus they don't even touch the Texas DE who crashes down and stops the play for a loss. Just plain stupid play calling.

Why are they making this game out to be such a fantastic rivalry? I never remembered it being anything special. Texas has won about two thirds of the matchups.

Texas has a very good defense.

I’m just not sure about their offense.

The one game they have played vs the top SEC teams they lost...so the jury is still out

The hate makes it a rivalry, but to Texas the Sooners are their biggest rival.

It's about like the Iron Bowl of Texas

Correct.

I think Texas and Arkansas was a bigger rivalry than this was.

BYU returning an onside kick for a TD in the first quarter may be the most Big 12 thing ever.

So, it looks like A&M hasn't fared very well in their big games at Kyle Field. Started with a loss to Notre Dame, ends with a loss to Texas. I guess the mystique of Kyle Field isn't all that mystical.

Or they could just have an 8-4 team - again.

the non FG is now a glaring error of judgement

It never has been. That’s what’s so funny about it.

But they sure give it the ole college try.

 

[Krymsonman]

Oh lord, their chanting "SEC" now.

 

[B1GTide]

The Texas defense won this game in spite of the efforts of the offense to give the game away. Feels familiar.

 

[TideEngineer08]

Oh lord, their chanting "SEC" now.

I remember seeing them and OU fans saying they would NEVER do that.

 

[Krymsonman]

So the question now is, can Texas put up a fight against Georgia, which is basically a home game for Georgia. I don't want either one of these teams to win.

 

[editder]

All I can say is Go UGA.

 

[denver]

Oh lord, their chanting "SEC" now.

weird to chant that...not like this is an intra conference game....UTsw fans are weird

 

[Krymsonman]

All I can say is Go UGA.

Yeah, as much as might pain me to pull for UGA, I just don't know if I could stomach Texas winning the SEC first year in the conference.

I think Texas and Arkansas was a bigger rivalry than this was.

Texas dominated all of its old SWC opponents. The Arkansas game was huge for Arkansas, but not as big for Texas. Yet Texas largely dominated the series.

This game is part of the fabric of college football though. It is lopsided all time but A&M has a respectable record against Texas since they started co-ed enrollment back in the 1970s, I think.

They’ve played the game over 100 times despite the 13 year hiatus. I’m glad it’s back, from nothing else but a nostalgic point of view. Realignment ruined so much. This is one thing it has set back right.
