Texas A&M regent Tony Buzbee took a crack at the Texas Longhorns on Facebook in a post advocating for the two teams to play again in football.
“I’m going to advocate that the Aggies play Texas again in the near future. Because of our brutal SEC West schedule, where we play the likes of Alabama, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, LSU, etc., the Aggies need some cupcake games to rest and heal,” Buzbee wrote Wednesday. "In my view, Texas is just as weak if not weaker than the non-conference games we play, so we may as well play them."
He prefaced the note by saying he hadn't spoken with the athletic director or coach Kevin Sumlin, and that he is just one of nine votes on the Board of Regents at the school.
This is just the latest jab taken in an on-going war of words between the two schools that have not met on the football field since 2011, Texas A&M's final year in the Big 12 before leaving for the SEC.
Fans on both sides want to see the rivalry played out on the field again, and hopefully the constant verbal sparring between the two will actually yield an agreement on a series between the programs again at some point.
