UT wants to put it back together. … Man, can you imagine how much money we could make off that game?” Lol that it comes down to money instead of appeasing the fanbases and bringing back a good tradition. He could have at least pretended it wasn't about the money. This game coming back would be in the best interest for both schools. It could help propel one of the teams into the playoffs. Even in down years winning this game can help get overrated.

I don't know, I feel like Texas never has any trouble being overrated provided they show a pulse and A&M has the SEC thing to overrate them if they're any good. They should clearly play, I just don't think rankings need to come into the argument.

Peoples' interest in Texas's Thanksgiving game has gone down so much that Texas stopped doing the Hex Rally a couple of years ago because people weren't showing up. They tried to pretend the game was still interesting with TCU and Texas Tech, but nobody loving bought it. gently caress Deloss Dodds I hope his death is long and painful for ending that game.

Schools are obliged to play teams in their conference. If Texas A&M wanted to keep playing Texas, they should have stayed in the Big 12. Simple as that.

The partially confusing bit is that some of them weren't just letters until recently!

I'm willing to rag on my lovely school as much as the next guy, but A&M didn't go around and tell people in the SEC not to schedule with Texas. That analogy falls apart because no non-A&M SEC school would want to play Texas, but what I'm getting at is in the recent years A&M hasn't been the petty ones here. Surprisingly. For real though, if the offer to host the game still stands from the guy who owns the Texas Motor Speedway that game would beat the attendance record from the Bristol game last year (and like every Big 12 Game combined) in a heartbeat. Not doing it is just pissing away money.

Look DIxon was never going to be an NFL guy, and it was his senior year. You're in contention and the guy says he wants to play. Sure it resulted in his knee imploding but it was already mostly there. Not playing him the remainder of the season probably doesn't change the outcome of the season given how the back ups did, but if it holds together they had a chance. I can't knock them too hard since Dixon in the article was reportedly emphatic about playing and that it wasn't that bad. I really wanted that team to play for the title with Dixon since my Hokies weren't going to. Watching him go down was a sad moment.

He literally was an NFL player and almost every player says they want to play hurt because they've been conditioned to think that's what they're supposed to do. That doesn't mean it's in their best interests or that you should let them.
