+1000

and we are only talking 1 or 2 games a year.

If Jerry is helping, we aren't playing a single game at the Cotton Bowl.

Would love this but there is no way. My son is a sophomore at Bama and they aren't giving up the Tennessee game. I used to think Big 12 football was awesome but doesn't hold a candle to the pageantry of the SEC. Bryant-Denny on a Saturday afternoon is incredible. Son went to the Swamp last Saturday and said was one of most awesome experiences oh his life. Oh hell, let's make this happen. Probably wouldn't win a conference game for 5 years but who cares!!

consider the next Garrett Gilbert.

Mac comes calling and offers you the opportunity to play against Baylor, ISU, Kansas and Tech...heck for good measure he might throw in Tulane or Louisville.

JJ calls on you the next day and offers you the opportunity to play against Auburn, Florida, LSU and Georgia.

UT would be crapping in their pants.

All the more reason this move makes some sense.

Can't remember the last time an Aggie made fun of me. Kind of makes me sad.

Because we will be better at airing it out with June than the Hogs are with Petrino. Give us 6 years and that game would be a gimme for us, we could steal a lot of their recruits too. Similar offenses.
