'HORNS VS AGGIES: THE SCOREBOARD DEBATE:
Who's is better?
Texas A&M's athletic director takes his shot.

My scoreboard is better than your scoreboard!

Those are the taunts bouncing between Austin (home of the so-called Godzillatron stadium big screen) and College Station (where 12th Man TV also goes on the air Saturday).

Texas A&M's athletic director, Bill Byrne, has even entered the fray, defending the Aggies' slightly smaller high-definition screen.

"If having the largest screen was all we wanted, we could have done that easily," Byrne wrote in his weekly column on Aggieathletics.com. "We decided it was important to be attentive to programming. As a result, our big-screen content . . . will be better than on any screen in the country, guaranteed. . . .

"When it comes to putting together game-day audio and video production, we're the Joneses."

Was that a veiled shot at DeLoss Dodds? The Texas AD once famously said that UT doesn't keep up with the Joneses because, "We are the Joneses."

UT officials on Thursday declined to enter the fray, opting to let Godzillatron speak for itself.

But coach Mack Brown did boast about the Royal-Memorial big screen in his talk Thursday to the Austin Longhorn Club. "It's huge," Brown said. "It's the best in the world, not just the country."'
