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

It is not all one thing or another, and Strong is a good coach. He could kill it early on and none of this matters. Where it does matter is if he struggles in the first year or two, because he simply isn't talented enough with politics to get the political capital he needs to have a top 5 recruiting class after two down years.

This. Majorly this. (Except I would phrase it more in terms of perception than political capital.)

And his recruiting is NOT starting well. If we steal Alaka from them after having already stole Henderson from them, it's going to look really badly. They have almost nobody we want in their recruiting class.
