A program that will get better in a stronger conference not containing UT.

Kids in the deep south and FL either stay in the deep south and FL or they want to go far away to CA or something. They don't often go to Texas. Kids in Texas either go to UT/OU, or they go to a Big 12 team with a chip on their shoulder to play against OU/UT. To a much lesser extent, some might grow up wanting to be Aggies, but Texas A&M wont be able to tap into that "I'll show those damned longhorns that they made a mistake" recruiting line anymore, now they play against deep south teams they never cared about, other than maybe Florida. I wouldn't be surprised if by 2019 or so, Texas A&M sinks into an unremarkable football program. Not necessarily bad like Vandy or Kentucky, but not all that good either. For all those issues, I do believe Texas A&M has a better chance to succeed in spite of all that than Mizzou, because at least they are in Texas and the pool may still be big enough without the UT rivalry. Missouri relies very heavily on Texas for their success. I don't see how the hell Missouri recruits in Texas if they are not in a conference with Texas, and no one worth a damn from, say Alabama and Mississippi wants to play in Missouri.

So about what they are now and what they've been? Let's not act like A&M has ever been great at football.

If I'm a Texas legislator representing College Station, I'd start lobbying my colleagues to pass a bill requiring UT and TA&M to play each other every year in football and basketball, just like they do in Iowa.

Texas A&M isn't going to open that door for them, and to the extent that a random odd Texas kid wants to play in the SEC, I believe that Mizzou would be pretty far down the list. The Tigers probably won't ever suck for a prolonged period of time because Missouri is a very large state with only one in-state BCS school, but it will be a little more difficult.

Looks like A&M to the SEC is now official or will be official shortly. Hopefully Mizzou makes a decision this week and we can all move forward.
@billyliucci Billy Liucci A&M to SEC? Sounds like the official announcement is (finally) coming today. @billyliucci Billy Liucci A&M is now a member of THE nation's most prestigious and dominant league: The Southeastern Conference. A defining moment in Aggie history |
