I was nearly right... Byrne has outfoxed Dodds and played the media near-perfect while calling the sips' no-play bluff

Texas is the Paris Hilton of college football.

A&M and OU to the SEC without us is a worst case scenario. We can't join the SEC, but we can't let them (especially A&M) join either. Texas's great run will come to an end at some point and we'll have to rebuild. Trying to rebuild with A&M a part of the best conference in football while we're on the outside looking in is a situation we'd be wise to avoid at all costs.

The problem is, nobody wants just A&M.
quote:
The Texas legislature will not let Texas and A&M separate. After the SWC dissolved, it was written into law. Yup...you're stuck with us and we're stuck with you.

What Texas recruit is going to play for a team that is too scared to play their natural rival in-state? It would be a media blood-bath
quote:I'd prefer OU to Texas since it's expansion into a different state, but I also think that a school from North Carolina (UNC or NC State) and a school from Virginia (Virginia or VTech) would be preferable, because those two states are far more populated than Oklahoma (though I like the state and the people from there, in the main, and they are crazy about their football). What do you, KM, or anybody else think? OU has a better program right now, but wouldn't it be better for the SEC to go the other direction?
When the rights expire in 7 years, could OU be #15, and tu is forced to the PAC with no LHN?
quote:I agree with you on this, Taco.
Do you seriously believe this? You really honestly think recruits are going to buy this?
quote:+1. My thoughts exactly.
spreadsheet was all over that...he predicted everything except for a big bow tie.
quote:I was shocked at the clarity the Longhorn had who said that it would be bad for us to go to the SEC without them. That's so true, yet I've not heard one sip talk about that since I've been on TexAgs on Dec. 5 last year.
the massaive amount of denial and butthurt from horns makes total sense now
