Now, if the B12 screws the pooch on expansion and the Houston deal falls through you've probably got a good shot.

This is what's interesting about the Herman issue. Texas has gotten off to a good start, but what if they're a 3-4 loss team by November and out of the Big XII race? I think Herman's desire to remain at Houston is tied to them getting into the Big XII, right?

Since Texas controls EVERYTHING in the Big XII, would they torpedo Houston's admission into the conference to make it more likely that he'd be willing to jump to Texas if Strong's seat became hot again?

Herman is the hottest commodity this year and I'm not so sure that LSU is as sexy a job as the Tigers think they are. Herman doesn't have to go outside Houston's city limits to get top flight talent. LSU has to travel around a bit to get their recruits since the fence is down.
