Then I would know what all the people really want all the time.

Plus, a “traditions council?” Not sure anything could sound more Orwellian.

Some of the posts above indicate no ill will toward agricultural. I guess I’m not a big person, but I have nothing BUT ill will for that bunch.

They’re the biggest hypocrites I’ve seen in my life. agricultural claims reverence for tradition, but has thrown away decades of athletic tradition, while doing its’ best to ruin the conference it’s leaving, and all the while reaching for straws to blame others for its’ actions. agricultural was right there with their hands out to take the money paid by Nebraska and Colorado for leaving, while making (empty) promises to stay in the Big 12. Just as soon as the money was in hand, they cooked up some blatantly bogus reasons involving UT and the LHN to bolt to the SEC. agricultural’s athletic braintrust (There’s an oxymoron for you!) then tried to paint UT as "afraid" to continue the annual games. They’ve continually skipped right by the part where DeLoss Dodds told them as far back as a couple of years ago that UT would no longer play aggy if they left the Big 12. If I had to pick a "coward" in this whole thing, it would be the team that’s skulking out of the Big 12 to become cannon fodder in the SEC. UT has honored its’ word by remaining in the Big 12.

agricultural, with their silly, homoerotic "traditions" and their behavior that’s straight out of "Deliverance" has been a long time embarrassment to the state of Texas. The bad thing about this whole divorce is that they’ve stayed around long enough to wear out their welcome beyond any redemption. Any of us with even a lick of common sense can’t wait to see agricultural gone to the confederacy for good. I know there’s been some talk of a "cooling off period" before consideration of scheduling them again. I think that cooling off period needs to be about what their bow-tied president called it, a 100 year "decision". That will give the cult time to foster their new rivalries with their new found friends, to try to be something better than the third best cow college in the SEC.

I’ll sum this up by saying there is NOTHING I will miss about agricultural. They are cowards, liars, and will fit right in their incestuous new conference. Their decision to leave was way later than it should have been, but a red letter day anyway. There are some people that went to school there that I know and like, but even they are very much in the minority. I do NOT wish them well in their new conference. I’ll take great delight when they’re bent over by their new conference mates and given many doses of prison love. I seriously hope THE University Of Texas NEVER schedules agricultural in any sports in what remains of my life. That bunch deserves every bit of the Sodom and Gomorrah treatment they’re gonna be getting in the SEC. Now…I feel better!

I sincerely hope that our conference partners, Baylor, Tech, and TCU, have legislative friends that will back UT legislative friends to soundly block any Ag pressure put on UT to play them. I, too, would like nothing better than to not see them on our schedule again, ever.

Perry had better stay out of this one. I think he has used up all of his political capital, at this point. What a loser!

How many games does the legislature want to mandate for UT? Don’t they already require that we play one game with a Houston area school?

Should lyrics stay “Goodbye to A&M”?
How bout “Good riddance to A&M”

“and it’s fuck you to A&M” sounds about right to me.
