I think A&M refused to play Texas in the Texas Bowl a few years ago. Not surprising, since they ran away from big brother after getting their *** kicked by them for years. Surprised that Mizzou doesn’t want to play Kansas in a bowl game since they have renewed that rivalry in basketball.A&M and Texas have both done that coward crap with each other in the past.
Just making room for us.
They did that to accommodate the SEC/Big 12 challenge games in January. I hope this is the last year of starting that early now that the SEC/Big 12 thing is going away.Has SEC conference play ever started the week between Christmas and the New Year? I see we play Alabama the 28th too.
ETA: Looks like they started this last year. Seems like a poor decision scheduling wise. Either way Mizzou needs to take what’s given to them or play in BHAM or Mobile.

Need to not travel if they complain at 6-6. I bet they try to get Las Vegas to get murdered by ucla. Drinkwitz seems like a little dweeby prick. Could be wrong though. If they don't take liberty they need to go to BirminghamHas SEC conference play ever started the week between Christmas and the New Year? I see we play Alabama the 28th too.

THey lost to Auburn. We beat Auburn. We both beat Arkansas. We both lost to UGA and UK. How would they be more deserving at 6-6 (3-5) than us at 8-4 (4-4)? Because they beat USCe? Not sure that makes up for losing to Auburn.They have more players from Texas on their team than we do.
They can make the better argument they're more deserving.

Yeah. This is much ado about nothing. This happens all the time. Teams request certain bowls and request to avoid certain bowls and they're usually accommodated. No big deal.Teams put that out prior to bowl selection for a reason. I don't see the problem.
