Saw my young cousin, a recent high school graduate, at a family reunion. He was torn because he was accepted at both A&M and Texas Tech.
My Aggie uncle immediately started reeling off all of the "advantages" of going to A&M: Aggie network, US College News and Rankings, etc. etc. etc.
My cousin turned to me.
I said: "Two words. Scoreboard."
That did it. My cousin will be a Red Raider this fall and have his Guns Up!
Side note: Since A&M is supposedly "superior" to Tech academically, why was my cousin accepted to both schools? Makes you wonder...
