Texas Football: 5 things Longhorns fans hate about Aggies
1. The alumni base doesn’t have any attachment to reality
When it comes down to it, the in-fighting between the Texas football and Texas A&M fans at this point is about who would beat who on the gridiron or who’s fault it is that they aren’t playing anymore. It is hard to get a grasp on getting the upper hand in an argument with the Longhorns when you don’t have many valid points.
The fact of the matter is that the Aggies were the team that left the Big 12 because that couldn’t keep afloat and hadn’t won the conference title game since 1998. Or, at least they hadn’t actually won the Big 12 Championship Game since 1998, which came over the Kansas State Wildcats. The outside of Kyle Field would lead you to believe they won the Big 12 entirely in 2010.
There’s not much prominence to former Texas A&M football players in the NFL or basketball players in the NBA. They have two relevant NBA players in Brooklyn Nets center DeAndre Jordan and Milwaukee Bucks wing Khris Middleton. Meanwhile, the Longhorns have one of the five best pipelines of talent going into the NBA now.

Texas A&M football’s claim to fame now has to be former Heisman-winning quarterback Johnny Manziel, who is now once again out of a job after flaming out of the CFL and the folding of the Alliance of American Football after eight weeks. Even the quarterback that plunged the Texas football program into hard times, Garrett Gilbert, was voted the AAF MVP over Manziel.
