If we stayed in the Big 12 we'd be undefeated too. Instead we might not make a bowl game.
I will take missing a bowl game this year with our murderer's row of opponents if that sacrifice results in building a championship program in the long run.
Mediocrity in the BDF (and the SWC for that matter) was not fun, in case you forgot or never lived it.
How do you figure? Johnny would have done even more in the big 12 than he did in the sec and A&M started recruiting well when we got a coach that knew how to recruit. Sumlin and jimbo would both be good recruiters in the big 12 too.
