Texas A&M baseball is on a tear right now, having won three straight SEC series— including a huge set of games against Jim Schlossnagle and the Texas Longhorns the weekend before last. Texas fans expected to come into Blue Bell Park and dismantle the Aggies, but the exact opposite happened— the Longhorns got absolutely destroyed through the two-game series.
Nearly two weeks on from that moment, and the fanbases are in two very different places. Texas A&M took some time to bask in what unquestionably was an important victory for their tournament chances and overall program narrative, but have moved on as they look forward to the rest of their schedule.
You cannot say the same for the Longhorns, who have apparently been experiencing legendary levels of cognitive dissonance since that point. Even though the games are well behind each fanbase, Texas fans are still relitigating and coming up with new ways to soften the psychological distress they're clearly feeling over the losses.
Texas fans can't move past their psychologically damaging loss to Texas A&M baseball
Below is a sample of the kind of thing that has been going on on X for the past couple of weeks:
The pure irony that in the preseason one of these fanbases was all up in arms about the others "weak SOS"

Texas record vs ranked SEC teams = 9-5
(won series over ranks #17, #14, #13, #11)
Aggies record vs ranked SEC teams = 4-4

The games were two weeks ago, brother. It's time to lay that mantle down.
You got swept, dude. Move on.

This is a long post, but here's something that one of the writers for a Longhorn fan site did, the entire point of which is to remove data in order to say that Texas is better than A&M, actually, so it's basically like those games didn't even count, right?
I did a little experiment today for @InsideTexas.

Given that LSU (wow), South Carolina, and Missouri are the clear bottom tier of the SEC, I wanted to see which teams were winning the best. Who are the actual dominant teams in the conference?
So I filtered out every win against… pic.twitter.com/ms0PlGrbI2
Wow, man. What an interesting "experiment." You're basically a scientist. That's awesome.
Of course, he tried the "wow Aggie fans are so crazy!!!" heel turn that is entirely passé by this point, but fans weren't having it.
"I see the Aggie fans have found something to make about themselves again."

You chose a data set that excluded two opponents we swept solely to make Texas look better than Texas A&M.
You may be stupid, but don't assume other people are.
Would any of these Texas fans accept the argument that advanced stats all favor Texas A&M's football team last year over the Longhorns? Because every system you care to check— FPI, SP+, FEI, and the rest— all say the Aggies were a better team. But you will not find one Longhorn fan who will say, "yeah, if those two played again, A&M should win."
And yet that's exactly the line of logic they're arguing here. Pick a lane! Or, maybe, just stop talking about it!
