i think he nailed it with regards to A&M, but it's not the aggies fault UT backed out. They still should find a major conference opponent, though... but it's only hurting their own fans' experience.

It's not like we went looking to only schedule creampuffs, but when our designated long-term OOC marquee game suddenly becomes a conference game (Arkansas), there's only so much you can do. Also, the SEC league office asked A&M to hold off on making any big OOC scheduling moves in order to help facilitate the construction of the 2014 conference schedule.

Rumblings are that A&M and VTech are going to have a home-and-home in 2016/17, then A&M plays a two game series against Oregon the following two years.

Point is, we didn't move from the B12 to the SEC and start construction on a $450M stadium renovation/expansion because we wanted to AVOID big games.
