Calling A&M's Bluff

[Kermit]

fairness. Them having their own network isn't fair for the rest of the teams and causes a recruiting advantage. Mike Sherman, Bob Stoops. and Gary Pinkel have all addressed this. It's not just A&M fans.

WTF? Those coaches were addressing high school football on the LHN. Not the network itself. Nobody is that butthurt about if except for...well, you know who you are.

[DesignatedT]

I guess Aggies want to get ass ed on the regular.

Fair enough.

lol tech

[DMX7]

Aggies want a paycheck. Their atheltic department is bankrupt whereas Texas' actually gives money back to the school.

[Sisk]

So, pretty much pride.

$9 million, too. But yeah, good call.

Beep beep.

Eh, Aggies become socialists when it comes to football.

I shouldn't be surprised.

you go ahead and stay put (since it's your only play anyway). Well go our own way and join the best conference in the nation. Fine with me.

You guys will be playing on the LHN in no time.

We'll have to wait and see about that. I'll tell you one thing though, I'm going to love playing teams like LSU, Florida, Alabama and Auburn as a college football fan. Every game is big and every game means something, that's what makes it fun. Not playing teams like Iowa State and Kansas.

You don't understand why A&M is not happy with everything going on? I have a hard time believing that.

Blake, there have been 2 big recruits in Texas that just did or are about to commit to SEC schools citing specifically they wanted to play in the SEC. It would make a difference.

Shyne, the aggressiveness of the lhn has increased dramatically this year and their intentions of doing anything they can to get what they want are clear now. I'm sure you'd have been glad to get a call from the "Music City Bowl" last year, wouldn't you? And nice choice of 5 wins - sounds like the number of wins from a big texas school last year, and it wasn't A&M.

everything is moving towards conference consolidation, it is inevitable some conferences would break apart. this one just happened to be first. outrage is a fairly short term view.

Speaking of stupid god help us all if aggie Rick Perry gets elected president.

Right, the only reason UT stayed was because it got everything it wanted.

Why did A&M stay?

High quality entertainment going on here. Nothing better than watching two schools that hate each other go at it

If A&M goes to the SEC, do they keep UT on the schedule as their rivalry game?

UT has pretty much taken the stance that if A&M leaves, that'll be the end of any series in football (...or so I've heard through the grapevines).

Expect an announcement in about 11 days.

It'll be interesting to see what happens with it being a potential OOC game. Personally, I don't care what happens to it.

[symple19]

That would be a shame, if anything, a split (from the big12-2) would only serve to intensify the rivalry

Also, it wouldn't be unprecedented within the SEC. USCe plays Clemson every year and UF plays FSU

[dirk4mvp]

aggie vs longhorn is awesome on ST


I wonder who joins the SEC in the east if Aggie comes over. I'd love to have FSU, Va Tech would be ok.

lol Clemson

A&M might not have a choice if their schedule is full, although I'm sure the SEC will accommodate the rivalry. There is no way in that they do not play each other in football. It's funny to think about but Texas will need that game if they go independent and Aggy needs it for their relevance.

Va Tech would be ideal.

FSU would be good too, but that wouldn't open up a new TV market like bringing in the hokies would.

We'll see what happens. I'd be shocked if it didn't happen, but that will be figured out at a much later date.

Everyone seems to be pointing towards Virginia Tech. Seems like Florida really doesn't want Miami/FSU/any other Florida school.

Aggy needs it for their relevance.

Yeah, joining the best football conference in the nation does nothing for relevance.

Are you ready to get skull ed this year in College Station?

[dirk4mvp]

agree. also recruiting from Texas all the way to Virginia would be pretty tight.

[symple19]

It would also be great for UT to keep the game in terms of SOS (if Aggie is in the SEC), especially if they do end up independent

Great rivalries are one of the things that make CFB so awesome, I'd hate to see this one ended

I'd like FSU more simply because it opens up Florida more for everybody else and the Noles would start taking away big time recruits from the Florida Jean Shorts.
