re: A&M fans (regarding Texas)

Has there been a positive shift of excitement (fans, media, potential recruits, etc.) regarding Texas A&M football compared to Texas football now that yall have joined the SEC? I know that Texas is still the top dog in the state and they finished #2 in recruiting rankings (Rivals), but is there more energy, discussion, and excitement with A&M than Texas?

texas is such a huge state geographically that also has a built in advantage of producing incredible raw football talent, that the state, as a whole, has become very insular. it seems that the general feeling is that no matter how the big 12 teams do against other conferences, they are still bigger & better. i guess it's the "everything is bigger in texas" mentality.

a&m is going to get catch a lot of grief from the eleven or so girlfriends they left in the bevo conference until they find their feet in the sec. hopefully, with a new coach in a new conference, they will do ok....they certainly cannot complain about their recruiting base.

best advice: coach sumlin, convert some of that awesome texas talent to defense....
