re: Aggies, are you guys concerned at all about Strong at UT?

Kids want to play in the best conference?

No not always, but a certain percentage does.

Plus unlike Florida where the SEC is old news and there are multiple local options to get there, in Texas the SEC is new and exciting and there is only one path if that is what a recruit wants.

The history of Texas is to be basically all in one conference, much like Cali. Florida has been the home of a multi-conference landscape for decades.

Honestly the SEC doesn't help us win battles with Texas so much as it does OU. OU sold to Texas boys "play close to Texas at a place where you have a chance to be a champion." A&M now sells "play instate in the only conference that produces champions." It was a great pitch until the teams from Alabama went and fricked it all up.
