re: Texas A&M hasn't finished the season ranked in the AP or

Trust me, as a long-time Aggie I feel the pain of basically having to watch sub-par football for FAR too long. A&M's defense has been terrible since 2001 and the whole Fran debauchery was nothing short of torture. I think DeRuyter will turn this defense around and, with a little luck, recruiting will turn around with a move to the SEC. I give Mike Sherman credit for recognizing the problem with this program, the defense sucking, and going out and hiring the best available coach to fix it. Time will tell but I think we're headed in the right direction.
