Maybe taking over from the Aggies who had a Junior Day this weekend and all I've heard has been the sound of crickets coming from A&M. http://www.killerfrogs.com/msgboard/ind ... pic=112068
Of course you're hearing nothing from A&M. If you're a high school recruit in Texas, and wanted to stay in state, which of these would you choose:
--Large state university in young, growing city in the center of the state. Coming off a berth in the BCS championship and won a championship a few years ago. Nationally elite program.
--Glorified Cow College on plains of West Texas. Have had some recent success. Recently hired nationally prominent coach.
--Small private school in "Western" city with the amenities of a large metropolis. Loads of success recently. Coach is recognized as one of the best in the USA.
--Large urban university in state's largest city. Diverse student body (but most students are commuters). Recent success.
--Mid-Sized religiously-oriented university in small, run-down Central Texas city. Football team still praying for success.
--Small private school in large, economically diverse city. Once-moribund program has been recently revived by nationally acclaimed coach that has led a team to a BCS busting season.
--Isolated Mid-Sized state university on state's far western edge. Known for basketball success and football futility.
--Large state university in Denton.
--Very small, academically-elite school in state's largest city. Success in engineering programs has not translated to success on the field, save for two isolated seasons of recent.
--Cult headquarters poorly disguised as a glorified Cow College in a farm town poorly disguised as a college town. Once-proud football program is largely irrelevant in conference landscape. Only reason the coach is there is because he flamed out of the NFL.
