Ok, let's try this again. Apparently the SEC and Texas A and M didn't know they had to formally quit their conference before joining a new one. Whoops, probably shouldn't have told Andy Katz. But now they told the Big 12 they are leaving, according to reports. So this leaves Texas A and M in same place Kim K was after she ditched Reggie Bush. A hot commodity open for business. But will TAMU find their (insert Nets basketball player name)?
For those that don't know WHY the greatest conference in all the land wants TAMU , its simply because Mike Slive is saying "Give me some of that internet money". They will invade the Dallas and Houston (two top ten markets) TV markets. They need to do this because the SEC Network deal sucks. It was revolutionary, the first of its kind, and at the time, sick money (2.25 billion). But a 15-year mortgage vastly under market blows. The Pac-10 (AKA the not compelling enough to stay awake while I'm hammered and past out from wine spritzers Conference) has a TV deal in play thats 700 million dollars more. Sidenote: What kind of programming are they going to show? National Championship Season recaps? Heisman profiles? Joey Harrington Highlight reels?
Back to the point. Slive screwed the SEC by not waiting until the market dictated a 5 billion dollar TV deal. So maybe he can stay ahead of the curve here and snag a Texas school (like that even matters). But my point is: why ruin a perfectly good frat party by inviting the creepy Computer Science major?
Seriously. What are the "Aggies" going to provide the party? Heisman hopefuls? Conference banners (besides one from failed conferences)? Relevance? This school claims Texas as its main rival but ask a Longhorn who their biggest rival is, and I bet they say the Sooners.
Congrats SEC, we just let in the New York Knicks to the SEC. A team who thinks they are more relevant than they really are. I'll be honest with you, I had NO idea John David Crow won the Heisman for the "Aggies" in 1957. That they haven't sniffed the top 10 since 1994. Or that the won the national championship, in 1939, back when only the Army and Norte Dame won them.
So a school that considers Baylor and Rice as rivals are now a part of the "Big Show". I think their 24-40 record against Arkansas will provide all the information you need on how TAMU will fare in the SEC.
WELCOME TO ANOTHER DECADE OF IRRELEVANCE TEXAS A&M! Fun game to play at parties: Name Aggies in the NFL, or any Aggie to have played in the NFL. Ready, go!
