The following is an interview conducted with a Texas A&M Aggie fan. This is in no way an actual interview and as much sarcasm as possible is intended.

DT: Texas A&M opened the season with a loss to Sun Belt "powerhouse" Arkansas State. How do you feel about that?

AF: We were looking ahead to the TU game in eight weeks.

DT: At that point the Texas game was 13 weeks away.

AF: Well eight weeks from now we still will be looking ahead to the TU game.

DT: OK, well Texas, along with Oklahoma, Missouri and Texas Tech, create a top-heavy Big 12 that has received much attention from the national media. Does it sting when you consider the fact that the most attention A&M has received was their nationally televised beating that Miami gave them?

AF: What a stupid question. We have TU in eight weeks; we will see what everyone thinks about us then.

DT: Kansas State is coming to town this weekend. Tech manhandled them last week. Will you be able to do the same?

AF: If Tech can put up 58 on them, then we will put up at least a 100, but this week is not about us winning, it is about TU losing.

DT: The next week Tech comes to town. Will you care a little more about this game because the Red Raiders have the word "Texas" in their name?

AF: Texas Tech? What are they, a 1-AA team?

DT: Actually, they are in your conference and have beaten you the last three seasons by a combined score of 122-51.

AF: It doesn't matter; we beat TU two out of those three years.

DT: Let me ask you this, if you went 1-11 but that only win was against Texas would you be pleased with the season?

AF: We play 11 other games?

DT: Yes, you make a big fire the night before and then go do yells at Kyle Field.

AF: WHOOP!

DT: Are you the real 12th man?

AF: There is no "I" in 12th man.

DT: It must be a scary thought that Baylor might finish higher in the Big 12 South this season.

AF: At least TU won't.

DT: Wait, you are aware Texas is undefeated, right?

AF: Not against us.

DT: If Bevo and Reveille got into a fight, who would win?

AF: The better question would be which one would win a race.

DT: So you are saying Reveille would not fight Bevo. He would run away.

AF: The only time Texas A&M runs away is when they run away with a victory against TU.

DT: Why hasn't Javorski Lane been more productive this season?

AF: We don't want to use him up before the TU game.

DT: Alright, well this has been interesting. Any final words?

AF: Goodbye to Texas University, so long to the orange and the white. Good luck to dear old Texas Aggies. They are the boys who show the real old fight. The eyes of Texas are upon you, that is the song they sing so well-

DT: -OK, that is great but how about we end this thing right there.
