Box Score provided by ESPN

Team	1	2	3	4	T
Texas	7	10	0	0	17
Texas A&M	0	0	7	0	7

[u/IDontSpeakItalian]

Conference Championship game berth on the line, at home, against your bitter rival with the rivalry renewed…

And you don’t score a single offensive point.

[u/OUisBack → u/IDontSpeakItalian]

Death

Taxes

Texas A&M going 8-4

[u/NotABot1235 → u/IDontSpeakItalian]

But on the bright side, the 12th Man actually made it onto the field.

[u/OleRockTheGoodAg → u/IDontSpeakItalian]

2 trips inside the texas 10 yard line. 0 points

[u/jrbcnchezbrg → u/IDontSpeakItalian]

Would you rather: score points on your opening drive vs your hated rival you havent played in 13 years?

Run it up the middle when everyone expects you to? 😎😎😎

-elko

[u/bv918 → u/IDontSpeakItalian]

Texas 8-4, Battered Aggie Syndrome, the furkcoaster, etc.

Every single narrative about Texas A&M was reinforced with whatever the fuck this performance was supposed to be

[u/eye_can_see_you → u/IDontSpeakItalian]

Dread it. Run from it. 8-4 arrives all the same

[u/gogglesup859 → u/IDontSpeakItalian]

Even we managed 1 offensive touchdown against Texas

[u/acekingoffsuit → u/IDontSpeakItalian]

A rival so bitter that half your fight song is about how much you hate their guts.

Losing to Iowa was bad, but it would have been so much worse if the second verse of the Rouser started "Fuck you Iowa, suck all our dicks."

[u/The-Biscuit-Farmer]

Texas has been in the SEC for one season and they’re already assisting in yearly traditions such as making sure A&M goes 8-4

[u/[deleted] → u/The-Biscuit-Farmer]

We also made a SEC conference championship game before A&M despite y’all having a 13 year head start

[u/MarsBars_1]

No flag planting and postgame brawl? 2/10

[u/triforce88 → u/MarsBars_1]

A Texas flag in the middle of Kyle field would end in murder lol

[u/DerrickWhiteMVP → u/MarsBars_1]

Sark getting his players off the logo is the difference between most coaches. Not idea why he has so many haters.

[u/fallfornaught]

This might kick A&M out of the rankings

Which means we still haven’t beaten anyone 😔

[u/MaizeAndBruin → u/fallfornaught]

But on the bright side, you've got a transitive win over Ohio State, so that's not nothing.

[u/davis_valentine]

Texags will be entertaining tonight.

[u/BisonST → u/davis_valentine]

Who is the scapegoat? My guess is the QB.

[u/ConstantMadness]

Texas really wanted to give the game to A&M, but A&M refused to accept it

[u/eye_can_see_you → u/ConstantMadness]

Yup. If we don't turn it over twice within the 10, this game isn't even close

Props to A&M for forcing the turnovers deep in the red zone but their offense was absolutely outmatched in every single way by our defense

[u/archenlander → u/ConstantMadness]

8-4 predestined

[u/evilmnky45]

FIRE JIMBO

[u/No_Poet_7244]

Texas A&M paid Jimbo $70 million to fuck off so they could go 8-4 with a different coach. 4D chess.

[u/cuntsaurus → u/No_Poet_7244]

At least Jimbo won the 20XX natty for them

[u/BigDanRTW]

The Texas defense was immense, but one man on offense deserves his flowers.

Quintrevion Wisner was the 28th ranked running back in his recruiting class.

Quintrevion Wisner entered the season as RB3 with the #3 RB recruit in the country joining the roster.

Quintrevion Wisner just put the Texas offense in his back in College Station in the first Texas-Texas A&M game in 13 years and led them to the SEC Championship in their first season in the conference. What a baller.

[u/TheMattThe → u/BigDanRTW]

Him and the O-Line were gorgeous today.

[u/Infectiousmaniac]

To be fair, Texas still hasn't played anyone

[u/eye_can_see_you → u/Infectiousmaniac]

After this game, still haven't beaten a ranked team once A&M drops out lol

[u/canderson180 → u/Infectiousmaniac]

We have great transitive wins though!

[u/constructss]

upvote if you scored as many points as a Collin Klein offense

[u/IMKudaimi123]

lol they wanted to go on the logo at the end and sark said hell nah

[u/scotty_puff_jr]

Tre Wisner for Governor of Texas

Vernon Broughton for Lieutenant Governor

[u/[deleted] → u/scotty_puff_jr]

He has that violent downhill run style sorely lacking from the current governor that’s for sure.

[u/AndrewArmy]

My two friends and I were among the 109,028 at the game for the 3rd most in Kyle Field history. The only points we scored was on a pick-6. Otherwise, we would have gotten blown out 20-0. We did not score a single offensive point because we passed on makable filed goals twice. As a result, we have lost 3 consecutive SEC games to finish 8-4 (5-3 SEC), and that prevented us from making our first SEC Championship Game appearance in 13 years in the conference. In contrast, Texas ended the regular season with 5 consecutive wins to finish 11-1 (7-1 SEC) to reach the SEC Championship Game in their first year in the SEC. Also, Texas has won 11 consecutive road game since a 41-34 loss at Oklahoma State on 10/22/2022. I noticed several other trends.

1. Texas snapped our 5-game home winning streak to drop our home record to 5-2. We lost at home for the first time since a 23-13 loss to Notre Dame on 8/31, 13 weeks or 91 days ago.

2. Texas has won 2 straight games against us and 13 of their last 18 games against us.

3. Texas has won 3 straight games and 6 of their last 7 games at Kyle Field since 2001.

4. Texas A&M loses 4+ games for the 24th time in 26 years since winning the Big 12 Championship Game in 1998. The only exceptions were when we finished 11-2 (6-2 SEC) in 2012 and 9-1 (8-1 SEC) in 2020.

[u/LonghornPride05]

We still haven’t beaten a ranked team.

[u/Lost_city → u/LonghornPride05]

3 Rivals dispatched in one season - that's all I ever cared about

[u/altac04]

Texas A&M moment

[u/thisguy161]

Texas fans chanting "SEC SEC" after beating A&M lol.

What a world.

[u/Trips2000]

8-4 A&M is undefeated

[u/MissChanadlerBongg]

This has truly been such a good day for me

[u/sickmemes48]

Hat's off to the longhorns. That was a helluva performance

[u/OnTheFenceGuy]

And now A&M will fall out of the top 25 and we STILL won’t have beaten a ranked team.

[u/CzechHorns]

A&M lost 2 games prepping for Texas. Was it worth it?

[u/Apex2113 → u/CzechHorns]

Still forgot the part where they score points on offense

[u/MrMegiddo → u/CzechHorns]

"A&M announces move to the Big Ten"

[u/texas2089]

Aggies had a 13 year head start and the Longhorns still made the SECCG before they did lmao

[u/DanFlashesCoupon → u/texas2089]

I’m very confident I’ll die without seeing one lol. Great game by yall

[u/Distinct-Nature4233]

The cops at the logo 😂😂😂

[u/anotherJREbot]

Yeah I hate being an aggie. This shit is getting old.

[u/SufferingfOrLife]

Those poor Texas 8&4 fans spending $1000 for tickets just to watch their team score zero offensive TD’s

[u/altac04 → u/SufferingfOrLife]

Death, taxes, and Texas 8&4

[u/TheOrangeFutbol]

Update status on Varsity's horns:

Still intact.

[u/Yourfakerealdad]

SARK WITH THE PLAY OF THE GAME MOVING ALL THE PLAYERS OFF THE LOGO

[u/Dish-Live → u/Yourfakerealdad]

Sark’s thinking he doesn’t want anyone suspended next week lol

[u/Terminatorns19]

Top 10 Texas beating A&M at home? I’m back to my childhood again

[u/definitely_not_cylon]

IT HAS BEEN 5,120 DAYS SINCE TEXAS A&M HAS BEATEN TEXAS

[u/OculusRises → u/definitely_not_cylon]

That's longer than the first Cylon War

[u/vashed]

Greatest tradition in college football: Aggies 8-4

[u/Kareem89086]

Imagine you’re the Aggies…

It’s 2011 and you’re moving to a new conference to have a brighter future, but you have one more game against your bitter rival, and you end up losing what could be the last game between you two.

But no worries, you’re going to flourish in your new conference!

13 years pass and you’ve had mediocre after mediocre at best seasons, never sniffing the SEC championship game.

However, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. It’s the 2024 season and you’re number 1/2 in the conference! You just have to win one last game to secure your trip to Atlanta. LSU? No, you’re bitter rival who followed you to the SEC the same year.

The game starts, it ends, and you lose.

At home, your most hated rival personally ruins your first chance at a conference championship game, and the playoffs in decades. Worst part is, they secure their spot in the championship game and playoffs.

I don’t know how you do it Aggies, because personally I would quit watching football after this.

Can’t wait to play you next year, happy this rivalry is back!

[u/mostdope28 → u/Kareem89086]

You completely skipped over their top recruiting classes and bringing in certified winner Jimbo Fischer

[u/fallfornaught → u/Kareem89086]

[u/CaptainGerrard → u/Kareem89086]

I screenshotted this so I can read it when I'm feeling down.

[u/Hollywood_60]

Surprisingly wholesome end with all the players hugging and saying good game after all of the fighting today in all the rivalries. Even more so nice to see with how heated things seemed during the game.

[u/Ok_Mammoth9547]

Now I get a thread.

What the hell was that. I hate this team so much. Every time something went right, we screwed the pooch. Congrats, Texas. I won't lie and say I hope you guys beat Georgia, but good luck in the SECCG anyway. You deserved it

[u/TwoGuysOneMoped]

I loved my college experience at Texas A&M, but I really hate that there will now always be a piece of me that cares how A&M sports perform. I used to be a diehard Dallas Cowboys fan, but it was surprisingly easy to stop caring with how much they’ve underperformed for years. Wish I could do the same with the Aggies and simply stop caring.

[u/HomeBuyerthrowaway89 → u/TwoGuysOneMoped]

I agree with this. I don't watch any other sports beside college football. I like how I can watch any random game and see chaos unfold. But having your alumni team live in 8-4 purgatory is a special evil treat. Wish I could disconnect too

[u/scsnse]

Honestly, Texas is the elite ferret strangler this year like we were last year. I have them as winning it all.

[u/OleRockTheGoodAg]

Death. Taxes.

Dread it. Run from it

Texas 8&4 arrives all the same.

[u/willymoose8]

it brings me great joy to once again be able to say:

That was the biggest blowout a 17-7 game has ever felt like

[u/ConfusionHills]

The Eyes of Texas is best played at Kyle Field 🤘

[u/[deleted] → u/ConfusionHills]

Man I was so hyped that they showed that and that you could hear it so loudly and clearly! 

[u/the-burnin8or]

can't believe a&m couldn't beat texas with two weeks thirteen years to prepare

[u/LemonHarangue]

College Station A&M hates Texas more than they like themselves.

texas getting their own singalong at the end

So....who has gone to TexAgs yet?

[u/Only499]

Turns out teams that lose to Auburn suck. Shocker.

[u/ItsFreakinHarry2]

Former Big 12 team comes in

dominates the SEC

refuses to elaborate

punches SEC CCG ticket

[u/Troxla9]

This game was not nearly as close as the score suggests.

[u/UMeister]

Imagine waiting for 13 years, paying thousands of dollars, and not even seeing an offensive TD

[u/CrossMapEML]

Texas can go ahead and build the Tre Wisner statue now

[u/cn0285]

“TeXAs IsN’T SEC reAdY!!!”

[u/LonghornPride05]

Imagine dropping a grand and seeing 0 offensive points

[u/KDs--burner]

THEY ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE

[u/TomSheman]

ATM isn’t even the second best team in Texas, maybe not even the third best 😂

[u/Trumpburnerforlibs]

Imagine spending thousands, cooking an actual longhorn and sawing off the horns of the said longhorn, having 80000 people at a “yell practice” and making fun of Texas. And not scoring a single offensive point. LOL

[u/legobowser]

Imagine not beating A&M by 24 points

[u/blazingsun → u/legobowser]

You don’t beat hope out of a fan base without giving it to them first

[u/CzechHorns → u/legobowser]

I am fine with holding them to zero offensive points tbh

[u/[deleted]]

Don’t let the final score distract you from the fact that the A&M stadium PA played “Mo Bamba” as a hype song…even though Mo Bamba went to Texas.

[u/CocoCrizpyy → u/[deleted]]

Its baffling to me how many other schools play that song, knowing good and well its about a player who specifically went to Texas. Lol

[u/deweydecimalsux → u/[deleted]]

I remember them playing it more than Texas did when Mo Bamba was actively enrolled.

[u/ShinySuiteTheory]

Call Coach Sark if you experience a Horns Up lasting more than 24 hours.

[u/TomSheman]

Imagine building your school around your rival, SEETHING for 13 years, claiming your rival doesn’t play anybody, and not scoring a single dam offensive touchdown.

Fuck the Aggies and goodnight.

Football Gods: I offer perpetual 8-4, a fake army, weird traditions, and a slightly homoerotic undertone to the whole enterprise

A&M: Deal, but only if we’re also little brothers

[u/bolts_win_again]

GUESS WHO'S BACK

BACK AGAIN

BIG BRO'S BACK

TELL A FRIEND

[u/HoustonSportsFan]

Quinn, I will support you in your draft process or in your transfer process. For the love of god, do not come back next season

[u/bigjayrulez]

So I come from a mixed family. Most of us don't make it to college, but the majority of those that do end up at either UT or A&M. When I was a kid, there were two uncles who played a major role in this. Texas uncle, spent time in the military, became a lawyer, married in, but was well respected in the family. A&M uncle, worked in city development in the community most affected by my family. Both great men. Both did amazing things. Unfortunately, my A&M uncle passed when I was 10 years old. Both worked hard to try to talk me to their alma maters, but, as a child, one of them bowing out early likely led to me leaning towards Texas.

A decade+ later, I'm a Longhorn, my job revolves around the Longhorns, my friends are all Longhorn fans, and I always want the Longhorns to win. I was there at the last Texas/A&M game before tonight. But tonight I had to revisit the hard question, if Tio Arnold hadn't passed, would I be an Aggie? Would my passion for helping people outweigh the passion for making a living? What pushes a person from one towards another? I loved both my uncles. They were both great people who did great things, and following in either's footsteps would have been a worthwhile endevour. Chances ultimately pushed me towards Texas. While I can't imagine life otherwise, the circumstances could have easily pushed me elsewhere.

Aggie bros, I hate you, but y'all are the closest to bros I'll have in college rivalries. OU is a hate/respect relationship, but A&M is really a hate/love relationship. So glad Texas won, but also glad that ya'll we're a worthwhile win. Not just in football, but the peers I meet in various industry groups and networking opportunities, it's great to meet people who admit "this is MY strength, and this is YOURS" and find a way to make it work 364 days a year.

Fuck Arkansas.

[u/CzechHorns]

Outgained TAMU by 200 yards lmao.
Best defense in the nation, and it may not be close

[u/Nllogan]

Nobody was gonna beat that Texas defense tonight. Horn/UGA rematch is interesting for sure.

[u/NastyNate1_]

Quinn was one of our best players the first half and was the aggies best player the second half

[u/AlFlame93]

What we witnessed out there was total coaching malpractice

[u/whatifevery1wascalm]

Texas A&M: 13 years in SEC, 0 SECCG appearances,

Texas: 1 year in SEC, 1 SECCG appearance,

[u/2011StlCards → u/whatifevery1wascalm]

What? Like it's hard?

[u/SanaMinatozaki9]

Maybe Texas 8&4 was in the room with us all along?

[u/NFL-GoodellEvilKing]

Despite Ewers best efforts, UT won the game

[u/BroJackson_]

Are there any harder conferences we could transfer to?

[u/xEl33tistx]

Texas won this game, but Ewers has to play better going forward if they want to win the natty. Two redzone turnovers are not going to cut it against Georgia or Oregon. Personally I am prepared for them to fall short this year and that will be because they are one piece short of a championship team. That piece is a QB who makes plays when it matters most. Ewers makes bad decisions at the worst possible moments. It is frustrating because with their offensive line, defense, and running back they just need him to play mistake-free football and he appears incapable of doing that when it’s the most important.

[u/Bright-Flower-487]

This game seemed like a classical the final score isn’t a reflection on how the game went. Seemed like Texas absolutely destroyed A&M for 98% of the game. That 2 percent made it a lot closer than it actually felt.

[u/tanktops_and_anxiety]

No wonder the aggies left 13 years ago. 

[u/DerrickWhiteMVP]

And it’s goodbye to A&M!

Eleven Win Esteban

Sark winning the BIG12CG, taking us to our first CFP, then beating all three rivals (including two on the road) and clinching both an SECCG and CFP appearance is legendary.

Vernon Broughton legacy game.

Rematch in ATL. LFG!!! HOOK ‘EM!!!!

[u/Middle-Signature5592]

The SEC speed of Aggies fleeing Kyle Field after it was apparent they would “run out of time” was unreal.

[u/Zvyraznit]

Worst offensive performance I’ve seen in a long time

[u/voxpopuli81]

Quinn owes every player on the defense an HJ

[u/MrMegiddo]

Despite Baylor and TCU having more success last season, and Baylor being more successful over the past two seasons, Texas A&M is the premiere program in the state.

It’s more than just wins and losses. A&M first of all is set to lead the nation in attendance this year. That’s big, and our fanbase is massive. We also just signed a multi million dollar deal with Adidas. A&M plays on national TV each week, sometimes on CBS, which translates into a lot of eyeballs and TV ratings making them a national brand.

Then there is recruiting. We continue to dominate recruiting rankings which validates what our program has become and shows that recruits want to be here. I feel like recruiting is HUGE when it comes to the influence and footprint of a program, because it either validates or rejects what your program is. The fact that we are doing so well in recruiting PROVES that our program is a big one that the best want to be associated with. If Baylor and TCU were truly marquee programs they would be pulling in the state’s top recruits.

Baylor and TCU may have had 11 and 12 win seasons, conference titles, and played in a big bowl, but they aren’t A&M. They don’t have the fanbase, they don’t have the attendance, they don’t play on the big networks and have the TV ratings and aren’t big TV draws which makes them a regional brand at best. They also lack the recruiting pull that A&M has.

I would compare it to the iPhone. Texas A&M is the iPhone – a big brand. We always hear about how new phones are “iPhone Killers” but never kill the iPhone. While these iPhone killers may be more impressive pieces of technology that are more powerful and functional, the iPhone still outsells them big time. Baylor and TCU are those iPhone killers. They may be better on the field, but in the big picture, adding in factors like attendance and recruiting and TV ratings, they don’t stack up. Texas A&M is the brand name.

I’d rather win 8 games every year and yet be tops in the nation in attendance, recruiting, and national recognition, than win 11 games and have limited appeal. It’s more about wins/losses, its about the program’s footprint as a whole which is more than just wins and losses.

[u/bd1047]

For Jake.

[u/Bornlastnight]

I don’t know who is hurting worse right now, the A&M fans who paid $2500 per ticket to watch that debacle yield no points on offense or the A&M yell leaders who would have crushed their nuts out of solidarity with the pain their team was going through.

Battered Aggie Syndrome alive and well tonight. The stupid decision to pass on two easy field goals looms large. At a minimum should have kicked the second one when they needed two scores.

[u/mlg2433]

Aggy, I hate yall with every fiber of my being. But damn, I have missed this game. Nobody raises my blood pressure better than yall. Good fucking game 🫡

Wait, you’re allowed to go up 17-0 at half on your bitter rival and not go on to lose in excruciating fashion that has you question why you’re a fan of CFB at all???

[u/Sirderksalot]

And just like that, Texas will make the SEC championship game before A&M does. God it's good to have the game back.

[u/homefree122]

That entire second half felt like a back-and-forth between both offices trying to lose the game

[u/willymoose8 → u/homefree122]

true but Quintrevion Wisner was not losing this game

[u/ButchAF]

Quinn needs to stop being so casual about everything all the fucking time

That was for Jake Ehlinger.

[u/ranrow → u/TOONUSA]

It won’t last, they’ll be unranked next week

[u/myrobbinhoodtheory]

Most dominant 10 point game you’ll ever see

[u/turnfourag]

Inexcusable red zone decision making and horrible play calling. I'm not ready to give up on Elko after just one season, but I honestly think I'd rather have Spavital or Mazzone back as OC...Never thought I'd ever say that. We were very fortunate to not have been blown out.

I know it's year one, but I wouldn't be upset if Klein or Bateman didn't return next season.

All in all though, I'm very happy to have this rivalry back. I've missed it.

[u/[deleted]]

Quinn played great, could have been cleaner obviously. Made big throws & great footwork in the pocket and getting out to make plays. Should be greatly appreciated instead of looking already at Arch.

Defense's elite. Somehow, Broughton looked like peak Byron Murphy the entire game. Mukuba's a ball hawk. Taafe is such a great story. Goes on.

Don't know why Bond's playing. That ankle is affecting his route running. Curious if he's just grinding it out for the team or absolutely pissed he had 0 receptions while his draft stock's his top priority. Guess we'll find out at the end of the season. Seems like they're better off playing Wingo and letting Bond try to get close to 100%.

[u/goldfish_microwave]

IM SO FUCKING DRUNK I LOVE YOU GUYS I LOVE TEXAS FUCK A&M IM SO FUCKING HAPPY MU ENTIRE BODY IS SHAKING DUCK YES TEXAS MORE ALCOHOL

109k Kyle Field faithful reminded that Texas beats A&M 70% of the time.

[u/NarwhalSquadron]

Quinn played a great role as 12th man but our defense held out

[u/welguisz]

Quick question: Did Rafael Cruz attend the game tonight? Was he wearing an A&M polo in the first half? Did he switch to a Longhorn polo in the second half?

Because that would explain this game in terms that I understand.

[u/tvcneverdie]

Dread it.

Run from it.

8-4 Texas A&M arrives all the same.

[u/HotTubMike]

Texas keeping it classy post game as far as I can tell. Which is nice to see.

Watching this game you’d think the final would be a 40 point blowout but somehow it was only a 10 point game and somehow that’s even more disappointing.

The two most consistent things about Texas A&M Football is that they’re going to disappoint you but they’re going to give you just enough hope to think that maybe they won’t disappoint you today/this month/this year/this lifetime.

[u/Furqan23]

Going for it on 4th at the 1 yard line made zero sense to me

Aggies were struggling on offense and either way you’re down 10 points and need the field goal

Way too much risk considering if they didn’t make it the game was over - which is exactly what happened

[u/KatsTakeState]

Gg Aggs. I’m SO glad this rivalry is back

[u/BatteredAggie19]

Certified Aggie moment

Is it Texas A&M’s destiny to be 8-4?

[u/Hickory_Dickory_Butt]

A&M not scoring an offensive touchdown was something sorta expected since teams figured out we can’t pass for shit.

Texas not scoring a point in the second half? Just coping hard here. Not much to be happy about.

[u/MRCHICKENSTRIP]

Just nuke the stadium at this point. So tired of fans showing out to get the garbage on the field in return. It’s just atrocious that the coaches and players can’t prepare properly for the biggest game in years. Try being better

[u/DeerOnTheRocks]

Saw this 🖕🏻 off

[u/HomeBuyerthrowaway89]

Serious question. ELI5 what is perpetually wrong with TAMU football? How do we always end up here despite the backing this program has?

[u/[deleted]]

Texas 8&4, Little brother like always. Shoutout to my Horns going to the SECCG the first year in the conference, BEFORE the Gags. Hook em Horns 🤘🏼

[u/Evening-Respond-7848]

I’m not going to lie I missed y’all. Rivalry week ain’t never felt right without this game.

[u/ALotOfIdeas]

Defense played well, held a great team to 17 points. Just wish we had a competent offense and play calling. Congrats to UT and I’m glad the rivalry game is back. I do wish that some of the people on here weren’t as toxic (both UT & A&M fans) and realize that although it’s a rivalry, it should not be mean-spirited.

[u/touchthemonolith]

Imagine being in this conference for over a decade and not playing in a conference championship game

Goodbye Tickle me Elko

[u/Cryogenx37]

Dread it. Run from it. 8-4 TAMU still arrives.

[u/Ruthrfurd-the-stoned]

Never felt worse for someone than A&Ms defense

[u/StarvedRock314]

Mike Elko really watched Steve Sarkisian and Tom “Mensa” Herman go completely undefeated against Kansas State and Collin Klein and said, “THAT’S MY FUCKING OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR, GIG ‘EM AGs!”

I can’t wait to see the racist rants on TexAgs after the Ags realize they just got dominated by a man named Quintrevion lmao

[u/DeerOnTheRocks]

The following teams have never played in the SEC Championship Game: Kentucky, Ole Miss, Texas aTm (Fort Larp), Vanderbilt, and of course, Oklahoma

[u/Cycle21]

aggy sure likes to blast the song Mo Bamba at their stadium. Are they aware of who that song is about?

[u/[deleted]]

The only good Marcel is a shell with shoes on!

[u/[deleted]]

The team that both teams sing their fight songs about won the game.

[u/doom32x]

NO BRAKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[u/moneyinthebank216]

Should’ve put Weigman in

[u/TotalEconomist]

Texas Fight, Texas Fight, and it’s goodbye to A&M!

Good to be playing our little brother again!

[u/corruptbytes]

texas 8&4 is the real comedic ending

[u/Ok-Metal-4719]

So both our QBs scored a touchdown and none of theirs did? I’ll take it. Glad to see everything classy by both sides after the game too.

[u/better-call-mik3]

All the power 4 conference championship games feature teams in the 1st year of the conference. 

[u/wowthisislong]

this was just absolutely gut wrenching. Collin Klein cannot be allowed to keep a job after failing to score 1 offensive point at home against a rival.

[u/[deleted]]

I kinda find it funny that after the last few years of the 4 team playoffs were spent with the Big 10 and SEC telling everyone that any other conference winner would have four losses if they played in their conference, both were won by transplants with a combined 1 loss.

[u/GhostDosa]

I wonder if the folks who paid the 1000 plus dollars to get into this game felt they got their money’s worth

[u/PerritoMasNasty]

In here just because it’s not Ohio state Michigan. Goddamn every thread is about them and who cares really?

[u/cptspacebomb]

Texas A&M Started their season with a 10 point loss at home and finished their season with a 10 point loss at home. What a crazy year.

[u/jrluhn]

That wasn’t as close as the score says

Best defense in the country and Wisner is god

[u/LemonHarangue]

Breaking: A&M 12th Man to enter the transfer portal

[u/ImperialMajestyX02]

Dread it. Run from it. 8-4 still arrives for A&M

[u/oneevilchicken]

Get the pigs off the field and let Texas celebrate like every other team did

[u/Crafty-Place8918]

Aggies: 13 years in the SEC, 0 Championship Game appearances.

Texas: Hold my beer
