Lastly Colin Simmons visiting next weekend. Tigers are a main player for his services. Speigs says that A&M had become the main competition in the spring.

Serious question: I know a lot of these top recruits are going to 8&4 for the bag, but without trying to be a hater, can someone explain to me if there's other factors there?

What are these kids seeing (beyond money) that is making them lean towards 8&4? No history, no recent success, not a fun city, not known for player development, and no stability at the coaching level - Sure, jimbo's contract is huge but if it keeps going south he won't be there once these kids are juniors. Which also means the staff under him could be gone even sooner.

I think it has a lot to do with their background. When you grow up in Texas you are usually born into an Aggie or Longhorn family. I grew up with family that was a house divided. My uncle was an attorney from Monroe so I went to more LSU games than I did A&M but still went to both. There's a culture at A&M that just honestly represents how part of Texas is would be my best way to explain it.

I used to play lacrosse in college back in 2002-2004 and we played there a few times. College station is... well... a fun place to party hard. Our team would go out and literally drink the bar out of Shiner Bock while enjoying the "scenery" and a few tussles over said "scenery" lol.
