So they are more successful.

New reality is the old reality. At worst, the OU/Texas game is bigger than any game TAMU plays. You're BigD Ag. You should know that.

TAMU is the biggest "We are SEC" boosters because if you look at history, they have to be.

For record keeping purposes, when was/is the start date of the new reality?

Oh, and for the record, I don't think A&M is scared to play Texas.

I think Strong is going to slowly build a better program at Texas than Sumlin at A&M, and the other SEC teams are going to be bigger beneficiaries of the SEC Texas connection than A&M.

I sure would list a few SEC games as having at least the history and passion of Texas/OU, but none involving A&M. Maybe someday.

Hey West Coast Ag, how about that curb stomping my Cardinal gave the up and coming Bruins?

Would still love to see Stanford take on an SEC team. Oh well.

I think Strong can turn them around, but the question is, will he be given the time? It was my understanding several big boosters were not pleased with the hire to begin with.

The HS football programming idea was nixed after Texas A&M and Missouri joined others to outlaw the practice (including Texas, because the writing was on the wall after the NCAA did the same).


Wait a minute, wait a minute... you're giving UT credit for nixing HS games on LHN after the NCAA forbid it? What?

Your new Thanksgiving schedule is very fair to others, though, so I'll give you that. 2013 at DKR. 2014 at DKR. 2015 at DKR. Fair because who in their right mind wouldn't want to lay down for "We're Texas" and play at your home? I wonder where the game will be in 2016?

Even after that, Dodds went on the record saying that he didn't the rule against effected tu's network showing high school game reruns and highlights along with recruit interviews. He said as long as it wasn't "live" tu didn't have to follow the NCAAs direction.

But they keep spinning......

Source?

We already proved that Chip Brown doesn't know s--- from shinola. Remember Chip broke the news that A&M definitely staying in the Big 12 and Sabin was going to Texas.


Let us reiterate: Any place, any where, any time.

The NCAA then responded with, "try it and see how many scholarships you can afford to lose".
