With the end of the Big 12 upon us, I wanted to take a moment to say thanks for the good times.
I'm a Proud Member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 2000. During my time as a current student at Texas A&M I got to see y'all play at Kyle Field twice (and build 4 Bonfires, buring 3 of them).
Husker fans are right at the top of the list of the best fans we EVER saw in College Station. Y'all travel incredibly well, y'all are the nicest, best, classiest fans we ever had around.
I specifically remember after the 1998 game (sorry to bring up painful memories), my Aggie buddies and I were at the Dixie Chicken (our iconic bar), and the Husker fans from the game were all there and were buying us beers, talking about College Station and A&M. Y'all showed your true class following that painful loss, and I'll never forget it.
I hate to see the demise of the Big 12, but I hate to lose y'all as an opponent more.
I hope that Texas A&M and Nebraska will be able to play out of conference games, with y'all in the Big Ten and Texas A&M in the SEC. Y'all are a great fan base, great program, and great competitors, worthy of playing the greatest university of all - Texas A&M!
Hate to lose y'all, hope we can keep playing out of conference. The Big Ten got a great one in y'all.
