“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

Well, Mr. Speaker, no, I don’t think any self-respecting Aggie would pull for Texas. And, I sure as hell wouldn’t pull for Tech, Auburn ,Tennessee, or Florida.
I will say that my opinion of Alabama has softened after the way Saban supported Smart in his transition.

Ryan may be smart, but he’s an idiot. This is the most boneheaded thing he’s said in the the past 24 hours. The only thing that makes it not the most boneheaded thing from the RNC in all is that their convention is on. King took care of that last night.
