A&M About to be Officaly Invited Saturday 6/12/10 @ 3:00 PM
Posted on 6/12/10 at 4:19 pm
Posted on 6/12/10 at 4:19 pm
Several close contacts of mine within the athletic department fairly high up @ A&M here in college station and Mike Slive the SEC commish was seen on campus early this afternoon....confirmed
There are a million rumors out there and I really dont want to add "another" one onto the pile, but....
I have first hand knowledge that Mike was in college station this morning, and will be making an official offer to Texas A&M this afternoon.
Does that mean A&M will accept? I am not going to BS anybody and say "yes" 100% but I am also not going to spew out some random unsubstantiated rumor like Kirk Bohols or chip Brown and lie to people either. I hope we take the offer and run with it, but I guess crazier things have happened and I guess the PAC10 could still snake its way in.
The fact that the offer is actually in place is the first step and most important step and I personally hope this thing gets wrapped up the middle part of next week.
The SEC is the best conference in college football and I along with the majority of the Texas A&M fan base would love to join you guys in the future, so I hope the 12th man board of regents and boosters agree to this b/c I think this is a great thing that is about to hopefully happen.
Cheers

Not doubting you, but in 2010 this has to be done in person?

it will be good for you to get out of texas' shadow

I would think that the SEC believes there is a chance they will accept or they probably would not make a public offer.
If they met with Texas A&M to feel out the situation and there was no legitimate interest, the SEC would probably just walk away.

Yeah, I'm confused.

Does it have to happen in person? Absolutely not, but when you are the top conference in the country and are the ones with something to lose/or WIN out of this situation, would you not want to meet with the administration in person?
He has been on campus since around noon and been in meetings ever since.

I guess. Billy Liucci of TexAgs confirmed that Slive is in town. I know what we all think of Texags here, but Liucci never goes out on a limb to "scoop" big news like this unless he has official word or permission from the athletic department.

I read some tweets over on Texags that seemingly confirm that Slive is in CS.
I get a bit of an erection thinking about adding A&M. I guess it's the male cheerleaders. Either way, I pray to God that A&M declares independence from the Whorns and comes on over.

Was Mike seen on campus around an hour and half or two hours ago? To answer your question yes
Posted on 6/12/10 at 4:28 pm to bullard21k
Sounds good to me! If true, who do we add one more team or three more than who? I am digging this FWIW!

They aren't your bitch. You're just a zero hiding behind the skirts of others. When you're not the lead dog the scenery never changes. Your nose is brown, boy.
