Texas-Texas A&M bowl game? Not so fast...

Per the report, the SEC has made it clear to bowl games with SEC-Big 12 tie-ins that the conference “won’t support a Texas vs Texas A&M postseason matchup” because, Brown writes, “A&M has too much to lose from a potential loss.”

As the theory goes, A&M is the top dog in recruiting in the state of Texas and playing UT in a bowl game, with the possibility of a loss, could potentially cause damage to the Aggies on that front.

Texas A&M and the SEC are actively going to prevent any return to this long-standing traditional rivalry, because they don't want to risk a possible recruiting advantage.

"Citing a pair of sources close to the situation, Chip Brown of HornsDigest.com is reporting that an A&M-UT bowl game this year will not happen because “apparently the Aggies –- or perhaps the SEC on the Aggies’ behalf –- [will make] sure there will be no postseason matchup of two of college football’s most bitter divorcees.” "

Your first post didn't include who "Brown" is. HornsDigest.com, sour grapes perhaps?

A broken clock is more accurate than he is.

He was absolutely sure that A&M would never go to the SEC.

Calling it "sour grapes" doesn't really help aTm here. Just makes them look like even bigger chumps.
