Annnnd why did we schedule a game with a top 10 hardest to play in program? With the status of our program when we signed and now, that’s an automatic double digit L. No game check is worth that.

LSU should be #1. Especially a night game. One of the loudest and best atmospheres I Have ever been to. Aggie is meh.

That list is incorrect. TDECU should at least be top ten.

From this fan’s standpoint, TAMU is a hellhole to which I will never return.

Poor take… At least OU fulfilled their end of the contract, where Texas refused to play us at DKR in 2024 and got out of the deal…

Was there a deal in place to play them in football in Austin this upcoming season?

Yeah, UT and OU were supposed to play in the Big12 for another year, but got out early. OU stayed on the schedule though as a non-conference, which might of been agreed upon before our Big 12 acceptance. So I might only be slightly correct

edit: yeah, it was part of the home and home agreement. But still…

Big XII rules you have to play one P4 OOC game thats why we scheduled Oklahoma.

A&M has no business being anywhere in the top 30

13

And how many football national championships has Texas A&M won? The last national championship was in 1939. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was President.

So we lose a game this year. Big whoop. We were going to lose a lot of game this year anyway. By 2028 however it’ll be a different story. Beating OU at home in the non-conference will be glorious and set us up for a possible playoff run.

What happened lol?

Do they mean loudest? Because aggie isnt that tough to play at compared to somewhere like LSU, where they harass opposing fans and never let up on whoever the opponent team is, either.

Its the saw them horns off tradition they do where the stadium looks like it shakes.
Never was a fan that they specifically go “ayeeeeeeeeee” vs “ahhhhhhhhh”. Always found yelling ahhhhhh is way more intimidating.

Yeah, as someone who’s been a visiting fan for multiple games at A&M in the recent past, uh…no.

A friend of mine played at Arkansas. He said the toughest he played at was LSU. He said A&M was tough just because of how loud it was.
