re: Texas A&M fans on the rant

Texas A&M is a sleeping giant living in a state with tremendous amount of high school football talent.

They remind me of LSU in 2001. Saban got us to over perform and then built up LSU's in-state recruiting program so we now keep 90 to 95 percent of our best talent.

Coming to the SEC and beating Bama this year, and playing all the SEC powers to a virtual stand still will pay dividends with their in-state recruiting.

The Aggies are for real and the SEC West now has Bama and LSU with the most talent, but A&M and Auburn are not far behind.

I expect A&M to start challanging Texas on an even basis for the lion share of Texas talent. When that happens, look out!

For whatever reason, Texas hasn't been interested in their football program enough to go out and get the best coaching talent money can bye. That may change if A&M starts out-recruiting the Longhorns in-state. Right now, the Aggies have a better coach than Texas.

This same thing has been said since humans first developed ears. It has never materialized. UT is, and always will be, #1 in the state of Texas with recruits.

Just go take a quick glance at the Rivals 250 list. It's littered with Texas commits or leans. The Aggies may see a small surge with the SEC move but they will NEVER supplant UT.
