I just don't see why so many UT fans think it is in the bag...I hope UT blows A&M out and that very well could happen....but with how college football has been this year and after the K-State, Arkansas State and Oklahoma State game who knows what will happen at Kyle Field

Slow, I'm looking at it like this. Texas is playing their best football of the season right now. A&M has lost four out of five and it appears they've quit on Franny. Add to it the fact the Horns are pissed about the cheap shot and heckling of Colt from last year is why I think they'll be very focused. Also keep in mind that Texas plays before OSU/OU and Texas has to win to have a shot at the Big 12 title game and still a has potential at large BCS bowl bid if they win out. Texas has much more to play for than a deflated A&M team.
I'm surprised the line is only Texas -5 1/2. I would have thought it would be between -7 1/2 & -10. I think Texas will cover this easily.
Hook'em!

On the other side of that fence, Matt, is that there are Aggie players that still support Fran. If they rally together they could give the horns all they can handle, and maybe more.
I don't really care who wins but I want to watch a close game.

Ya, the way I look at it is the Aggies are ALWAYS and NO MATTER WHAT more pumped for the game than the Longhorns. While UT obviously has the better team, A&M will play a lot tougher than the UT kids.
I can still see UT winning by 17+ (because we are playing pretty hot right now) but I've also prepared myself for things to not go so smoothly.

TU 13
Texas couldn't get it done on their home field last year what makes any of yall think they can do better at the Home of the 12the man?
Like SO MANY people have sadi previously TEXAS is the MOST O V E R A T E D Team in the top 25!
I'm sure the Real McCoy will show up and get knocked out just like last year!

H/C, no way A&M is going to be able to hold the Longhorn offense to only 13 points. Texas will get at least 30 against that thing _arnell claims is a defense. I think Texas is ranked about where they should be in the BCS rankings. I agree that this isn't one of the better UT teams in the last ten years or so, but they're still better than a lot of other teams and are ranked where they should be. Also, at least Texas can beat Tech, which is something A&M can only dream of.
IMO, LSU is the most overrated team in the BCS rankings. If in your opinion Texas is overrated, who should be ranked ahead of them that is behind them? Also, where is A&M ranked this year?

Sure, I don't disagree that there are players that still support Fran (McGee is one of the few). The Ags will be fired up, but in the end I think they'll get Texas' best effort and the Horns will pull away in the second half. Texas is a tougher team, has more heart and wants this game more than the Ags this year IMO. Nothing is ever a sure thing, but my money will be on Texas minus the points.

Never said A&M should be ranked I think after last year they've figured TU out. Plus you're forgetting there are allot of seniors on that A&M squad you don't think thats gonna make a difference?
PS- your arguement of "TU having more to play for" is the most retarded thing in the world.
Remind me again of what TU had to play for when they LOST to the Ags last year?!!!

Isn't that the truth! Dude didn't want to hear it when I told him A&M would be 6-6 this year. Reality bites hard! 
All will be back to normal in this series, as it should be, when Texas takes care of business again on T+1.
