lol wut.i dont see any value in keeping tamu besides sentimental value.
We already left brah, on our own accord.
sad part is i want ou, tech, osu, tcu, etc etc to do well and continue playing them.
i wouldnt give two s if tamu was forced to go dII or sun belt. thats how much i dont care and tired of the noise aggies make every year despite their suckage.
when was the last time they won the big 12 or finished in the top 10? in 20 years they have won only 3 bowl games and no bcs bowls. i dont see any value in keeping tamu besides sentimental value.
if anyone knows what tamu is getting into, its the AD. he retired after the change! that should say something.

then why are aggies still in a big 12 thread, tbh?
Complimenting the big12 on what would be a nice pickup.
True on the OSU part. Boren will not go anywhere without OSU. The Vet School at OSU, the bread and butter of the University, is named after Boren. Sort of ironic, I know.
The rumor currently circulating on radio stations in the Tampa area is that the Florida State Seminoles have accepted an offer to become a part of the Big 12 conference. If the rumors are to be believed, official announcement of this could come as early as next week.
Yeah, A&M will have so much more of a say. I hated how A&M/UT split but it makes sense for A&M, as far as recruits. But there is no way having an impact on conference rules, location of big games, etc will get better with the SEC. If A&M ever gets to the Conf Championship Game, it just means a longer drive for your fan base.
Hey you were almost right. Just had to flip those numbers!![]()
Look at the recruits A&M is getting and all the decommits leaving UT. Recruits were already leaving for SEC
In the SEC, everyone has an even say. Even Vandy. That's why the conference is so successful - the SEC does what is best for the conference as a whole. We didn't want more of a say, we wanted to be in a conference that is run by all the schools, not just one. I would gladly fly to Atlanta for the SECCG - much better than being in a conference without a championship game imho.
My question is do you want mack fired and who do you realistically want to replace him?
I hinted at this in another thread: it's moving towards a giant ncaa bball playoffs structure, except over the entire season. Regional round-robinish style during the opening round reg season, single elimination at the end. Money buys you a ticket in the tournament with a small school getting let in to the final rounds every few years. Genius, really.
A BCS coach who has won consistently in a BCS conference.
Maybe not fired. AD.
Who could replace him:
There was a good list I found:
http://www.dallasnews.com/sports/col...-big-names.eceChuck Carlton: Wow. We're getting a little ahead of ourselves. OK, if we hypothetically assume that things deteriorate to the point where Brown exits, expect Texas to make a play for some really big names -- because well, its Texas and money is no object. Think Saban and Meyer and Muschamp. But all are in great situations with resources to compete for national championships. The next group might include people like Chris Petersen and Gary Patterson, who each like their situations too. Want dark horses? Think Les Miles, Dan Mullen and maybe even Pete Carroll. Just remember, right now it looks like Mack Brown is going nowhere.
Mack replaced Deloss? I just don't see that happening. Or do you mean somewhere else within the Athletic Dept?
Dan Mullen would not be a good hire IMO, Petersen isn't leaving, Carroll makes too much, Saban isn't leaving, Meyer wont leave OSU. Miles just got a big extension.
Best shots of thsoe names are Patterson and Muschamp. Patterson being a much more likely candidate imo.
Didn't Patterson just sign a big extension with TCU?
While Dodds definitely needs to go, I want Mack nowhere near the athletic department.
I believe he did, but that doesn't mean anything as far as whether or not he'd leave for another job. Wisconsin extended Bielema earlier this year.
Texas is in a tough spot. Some of those names being thrown around would be awful hires. Even Patterson would be meh. Tough spot to be in right now because there isn't many home run hires out there.
Holgorsen is someone who knows the state and is young and definitely proven. He comes with some baggage off the field though. I know they are going to want to find someone where there isn't some huge adjustment period. That was the best thing about Sumlin, the guy stepped right in and knew all the high school coaches, recruits, and all that good stuff. Offense was fairly similar to what we'd been running and there was no big time adjustment. Hiring someone with no Texas ties who hasn't coached/lived in this state before can be really risky.
May i ask what station? Gonna try to look it up...
Georgia might not agree.
I know I don't.
Georgia would definitely agree. The SECCG gave them an opportunity to play their way into the national championship game that they wouldn't have gotten otherwise.
