re: In 2-3 years, A&M will compete for SEC-W in football

I think so in 3 years. I've seen Sumlin in a couple of interviews and I think he gets it. He had a good recruiting class (top 20), can run an offense, understands importance of a strong D. I think they will be competitive for the west. The biggest obstacle of course is LSU/AU/UA/Hogs in same division....tremendously difficult.
