re: Why OU/Texas MUST join the SEC

I mean I accept his premise. We are the SEC entity with an unfair advantage and it will be everyone else's undoing. Seems obvious.

You joke (I think) but my dad used to say the same thing about Florida. He said that when the Gators realized that they had a natural (I wouldn't call it unfair) advantage they'd use it to dominate the conference.

Sure enough, in the 1990s Steve Spurrier saw the advantage the Gators had and exploited it to the max. If he hadn't moved on to the pros, Florida might have become a dynasty. Having won 7 of the 22 SECCGs, who's to say they haven't?

The Gators' AD, Foley, has used that advantage to raise the status of the entire UF athletic program. Florida has won NCs in 13 of the 21 sports they operate. Awesome.

I predict the same success for TAMU. If Sumlin stays, the Aggies will be incredible. If Eric Hyman is as skilled as UF AD Foley, the sky is the limit for the Aggy program.

I just hope you guys don't start liking basketball.
