think eventually Texas A&M will fade in the State of Texas and in the SEC. People in Texas who aren't aggies will care more about Texas, Texas Tech, TCU, Baylor and Oklahoma and Oklahoma State over TAMU.

this is one interesting comment. my first impression was that it was stupid as hell, esp considering the hype surrounding the aggy since they've joined the sec. but, after thinking about it, most of the current space in the houston chronicle sports section is dedicated to the big 12. sure, jff is getting his pub but the aggies are getting about the same pub as ut and tech/baylor combined. and the SEC is getting LESS PUB than before the aggies joined. i think that odd but then i remembered the tejas mindset; they are circling the wagons and preserving their distorted view of their state. aggie is being ostrasized (sp). they have offended the tejas psyche, whether some admit it or not. however, and this is HUGE, they have definately not offended the better high school football players. that may ultimely trump what these texas centric egotists think.
