tu will always be our main rival. Not on the football field for now at least, but in every other aspect. Kids in this state grow up and are faced with the choice of maroon vs orange, not maroon vs purple. They are our opposite in so many ways. Liberal vs conservative, city vs rural, weird vs normal. It is much deeper than what conference we play in.

For the cotton bowl it'd be a dream come true, they would sell the standing room tickets as they did for the 1st cowboy game and blow by 100k without blinking an eye. They would jump higher ranked teams for this and pick lower ranked teams, it's happened many times before.

the cotton bowl would pass on ou/a&m to get tex/a&m

No thanks. The sips need this game A LOT more than we do right now. Fvck them.

Give Hugh something new. I want Chick-Fil-A or Capital One. Would settle for Outback Bowl.

Exactly.

Some people bleeding between the legs in this thread. Of course I want the best bowl available to us, but if that happens to be cotton, I want the sips. I want to make the impending iron bowl look like an episode of Mr. Rodgers in comparison. I want to leave no doubt in their minds that there is only one SEC school in Texas, and their media bull about emulating an SEC team is all talk.

They would be dangerous as an opponent if I didn't believe they would be completely outmatched by us. Their.defense is anemic,.and their offense is reliant on a run game which is nothing compared to what we've faced in conference.

Guarantee you Sumlin would be salivating in practice for the opportunity to put Texas to bed, much less all of our players with a bad taste in their mouth after last year.

OH HAPPY DAYS!!!!!

I thought that since Cotton has its pick after the BCS Bowls, it could really pick whoever it wants to, at least from the Big Bevo, since it gets to go first. So even if OU or someone else ends up with a better record than Texas, they might still say "fcuk it" and invited Texas because they know they'll have a fantabulous game publicity and tv ratings, matching up two past rivals.

They've picked us over some other teams in the past too. I believe the last time we played Cotton, Mizzou had better record but we got picked, and Mizzou went to the Alamo or something.

So yeah, anything could happen.

As for us, I think the Capital One Bowl is higher ranked for SEC West teams and likely gives out more money too, and likely has same prestige factor, so we'd probably want to go to that bowl, but after that, it's the Cotton. It's the Chik-Fil-A and Gator after that, so we wouldn't want to pass up the Cotton, if invited, just in order to go play a bowl game in Florida.
