There's a few ways to look at it. A&M probably looks down on poor ol UH...and they don't need you to penetrate the Houston market. They're well represented on their own.

Baylor's interesting. They've been pretty crummy up until they took your coach, so you could make an argument they're avoiding you. Then again, some of those years weren't UH's proudest moments. I wonder if UH even has any interest in playing a team that's been accused of politicking you out of the last Big 12 spot?

We are open to all takers among those "big boys". Willing and ready to prove the naysayers wrong or go down fighting.

That's because you have everything to gain and nothing to lose by playing Texas. Texas, otoh, has nothing to gain but something to lose by playing you. So this posture of yours is not exactly heroic ...

Please......

If I have to spell out the point to you there is no point.

It is over your head.

(Edit could not resist I had to spell it out for you in the next post)

... and you badly misspelled it, or else your point is pointless.

My point stands clearly: Texas has little to no incentive to play you, since you are a far smaller-profile program. OTOH, you have LOTS to gain by playing them. Since most people and/or institutions do not like to enter into arrangements where the other guy gets all the possible benefits from the arrangement and there is little or nothing in it for them, it is completely rational that they choose not to play you.

And they have absolutely no moral or ethical obligation to give you a helping hand up the ladder by having an opportunity to capture some of their reflected glory by being on the same stage.

Finally, it is silly for you to call Texas "chicken sh*t" when their overall strength of football schedule is stronger, easily stronger, than yours is. Texas mans up and plays against some of the best teams in the country.

Coog case dismissed.
