i may cheer for a stadium implosion..
Re: Longhorns to replace Aggies
this just goes to show how stupid A&M were for leaving the Big 12. UT gets another national Broadcast for huge money and exposure for their brand and the Aggies will be lucky to be the SEC national game 1 or 2 a season.

Re: Longhorns to replace Aggies
I still think the Aggies made a great move. UT-ND only helps UTs fan base. It will not increase UT's Texas recruits and minimally affect any national recruits. It may help ND with Texas recruits and the ND traditions and heritage could affect UT’s recruiting.

Re: Longhorns to replace Aggies
Yeah, UT actually replaced A&M with a program that has a huge national following. I wouldn't be at all shocked to see a UT vs. ND game blow away the ratings of an A&M vs. UT game simply because of a larger national presence in ND.
Re: Longhorns to replace Aggies
Ah yes! That A&M-Vanderbilt Thanksgiving game is making me all excited.

Re: Longhorns to replace Aggies
But A&M is going to make more money in the SEC so that makes all this worthwhile.

But A&M will be spending their money to clean the bus!

Re: Longhorns to replace Aggies
A&M will make slightly more money in the SEC compaired to what it made in the Big 12 they inhabited for a while. However after year after year of 6-6 seasons we will see. Also Ut will now make even more money than they did before thanks to A&M leaving.

Re: Longhorns to replace Aggies
The UT v ND game sounds very exciting. Nothing like a 7-5 Texas v 7-6 Notre Dame to glue every football fan in the country to their TV sets and iPhones !

Re: Longhorns to replace Aggies
the new rivalry between A&M and Vandy will be called the "Golden Thumb Up The Butt"

Re: Longhorns to replace Aggies
great move by UT. also increases their BCS visibility late in the season to compensate for the Big12 perhaps continuing not to have a championship game. The only logical response by A&M and the SEC would be to invite another Texas team, specifically one in the Metroplex. Assuming TCU is off the table...
Re: Longhorns to replace Aggies
Talk about trying to force a rivalry.
Some people simply forget just how bad it was...

Re: Longhorns to replace Aggies
If they put at least the first game on LHN that thing will be on every cable and satellite operator in Texas.
Re: Longhorns to replace Aggies
I would rather see A&M-South Carolina Thanksgiving game. You could have all kinds of fun with each team's mascot name.
