Aggie did the same thing they did last year. Started out hot and looked good while playing a bunch of nobodies. Ranking skyrocketed and everyone started talking about them being a CFP contender.

Then they played a few teams with a pulse and got put in their places.

Big 12 still has hopes that A&M and Mizzou will come back to the conference. however, in order for either school to even consider that, Texas would first have to be willing to surrender/convert the Longhorn Network into the Big 12 Network and share revenues.

HUH? So will KU, KSU, WVU and OU also give up their own 3rd tier rights networks as well? Good luck convincing those schools to do that. Also, the Big 12 shares 1st and 2nd tier revenue exactly the way the other conferences do. Once NU, A&M, MIZZOU and CU left, the Big 12 voted in favor of sharing revenue equally. Iowa State went from making $3M-$4M a year in 1st and 2nd tier revenue when it was unequal revenue sharing to making $20M a year once the other schools left. Not really sure what you are talking about.....

A&M will never go back to the Big12.

Sumlin is a pretty smart guy. He knows you can't make promises you can't keep. There's no way of knowing how a kid will react at the next level. If Murray is pissed because he isn't starting, he needs to wake his ass up. He's no more ready for the starting job then I am. All he has to date is speed.

Or it could be the fact that the kid might be 5'9 in heels. Fast as hell, but short as hell. Met the kid back when he was a Jr and I felt like Shaq standing next to him......

Whomever still has these hopes is living in a fantasy world. It's never ever ever ever (ever x infinity) going to happen.

Agreed. The Big 12 does not want Aggy back and Aggy sure as hell does not want to go back. Why be a low paid ho in the Big 12 when you can be a high paid ho in the SEC?

Which school is associated with selling themselves to the highest bidder...Texas or A&M?

But ESPN and Nike came after Texas; nobody came after Aggy. Major difference.....

Exactly, you sold yourself to Nike and ESPN. That's the definition of a ho. A&M is more a thief...shows up and takes what is there. Maybe even ninja like.

A&M is Adidas/Pepsi in a Nike/Coke world

Probably the school that sells their "tradition" to the Seattle Seahawks. Now America thinks of them when they think "12th man"

That's fine. IMO better to be a little fish in a big pond (SEC) than the big fish in a little pond (Big12).

sells? They took and we sued to make them pay. They tried to steal, we ran em down and exacted our pound of flesh.

This would sound better if they didn't rent the 12th man to seattle. Yes you sued, but now you get paid to lay their and take it.

Lay there and take what? We could have forced them to stop using it, but why? They are up there, and we are down here. Let SEA use it and pay us for it while we put strict rules on when and where they can use the phrase.

 

[fordman84]

I guess we could have gone the same route Texas went down and sue probably the most well known fan site for using our mascots name.

Though its not like Texas stole the name Bevo from others and then trademarked it much later and enforced its bogus patent, but that is just semantics.

Though it was generous when it decided not to trademark WRTS and allow a recruit to do it.

A&M's defense has been suspect even back when Manziel was their quarterback. It will take a few more years of recruiting for them to be able to really start competing for those top spots in the SEC assuming they get some top defensive recruits.

Hmm, I thought it was t-sips here who were saying that BEVO wasn't made up from a branding but in fact it came from something like a soda drink or some crap like that? If that's the case then you very much did steal it and trademark it.

you understand that makes you a working girl, selling your most prized tradition to the highest bidder? Maybe you can sell the "saw em off" dance to Baylor, since we don't play each other anymore. How much does Mcclane have to pony up for you to give it up?
