Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 278002, member: 622"] I agree with most of what you say. My perception from here in Texas is that TAMU was only the #2 rival in Texas' eyes. Their biggest rival is Oklahoma. Also, TAMU's biggest rival before the SWAC fell apart seems to have been Arkansas, whom they wanted to tag along with to the SEC before UT pulled political strings and forced them into the Big 12. Again, this is what the people here in the Houston area are telling me, not some goofy ESPN reporter or blog hack. Your assessment of the Big 12 is dead on, they lost big time when Nebraska, Colorado, TAMU and Mizzou flew the coup. Another anecdote from Houston is that Texas and the Big 12 are looking forward to making WVU eat crow when they play the Big 12 schools. WVU will not be running the Big 12 table anytime soon. And many Big 12 fans are NOT looking forwad to the WVU fans, their reputation precedes them. [/QUOTE]
