Maybe they didn't want TAMU bolting for the SEC (a much more impressive conference with fewer travel issues than the Pac 10)... opening the door for the SEC to recruit Texas' high school talent?
Me thinks the Mac Browns and Bob Stoops of the world would not have such an easy time picking and choosing TX talent vs the Floridas and Alabamas and TAMUs of the SEC.
TAMU, Class of '88; Law Hall (may it R.I.P.) Ramp 9 Mule; f.u.p.!
I didn’t go to A&M, but sure as hell wouldn’t want any kids of mine going to TU. Best ripostes I’ve heard to Aggie jokes:
Q: Why are there so many Aggie jokes?
A: Serving lattes gives you plenty of time to think up new ones.
Q: What’s the difference between an engineer from TU and an engineer from Aggieland?
A: Engineers from Aggieland don’t all work for Amtrak.
Q: Why don’t Aggies make up more Teasip jokes?
A: They all have families and jobs to worry about.
