re: Texas A&M and their culture of soft football

While true, it's not an excuse. We've gotten our share of players out of Texas and they adapted to our culture, not vice versa. 

I have a lot of qualms about the Coach O hire, but I don't worry about our mental toughness or physicality.

Yep. The blame doesn't go so much on high scools. Any college team's tougness, physicality, blocking & tackling fundamentals, etc. is a product its own culture, S&C program, how you coach and practice, etc.

Most games and championships are won by the teams that are the most physical and block & tackle the best -- no matter what style of offense is played. It's always been that way.
