That was quite win for the Aggies. Hands up everyone who thought when the season began that with a week to go Mike Sherman's job would be secure and Mack Brown's would be in jeopardy, that A&M would be regarded as one of the hottest teams in the nation while the Longhorns would be stuck at the bottom of the Big 12 South. Misery for the Horns and Ecstasy for the Aggies.
Oh sure, UT won yesterday, finally acting like what they're supposed to be. Its too little, too late. With a possible birth in the Big 12 Championship game and BCS Bowl hanging in the balance, don't expect the Aggies to show up short-handed in Austin on Thanksgiving. Could UT win? Sure. Should they? No. More on that later this week. Truth is, I expect OSU to handle OU, but you never know, and the Ags will be playing like they expect to be in the championship.
In the mean time, ponder this: if the conference standings were based in power rankings, Oklahoma State would be tops, and the Aggies would be right on their heels. Texas? Colorado is hotter. The only team keeping UT out of the basement would be Kansas. That's how incredibly pathetic and anemic this edition of the Horns has been. Which is why this Thursday....

Been a UT fan now for about 51 years. I have seen the Aggs march in, and I have seen them march out. Now matter what it will be a monumental game and a great day in Austin. I pray the sun will shine!
Hook em!
It's my understanding that if the Farmers win, and the Cowboys lose, it'll be the Sooners at that championship game, based on their better overall record and BCS rank, which decides in the case of a three way tie. Although I bleed burnt orange, I'd much rather see any team from Texas in the championship, but it doesn't appear to be a possibility at this point....
David,
I think the Big 12 changed the rule this year; head to head game now decides. I think the Farmer brethren have a shot.
