Not for nothing but USC beat them 55-19 or something close to that.

in 2013, either Alabama or Texas A&M will win the SEC---they are both loaded with talent, coaching, etc.

We have a very real shot.

I sure agree with you. I was, and still am, very disappointed that Texas A&M are not coming to Florida Field next Fall. I love the Aggie fan base and their traditions. Texas A&M has been an excellent addition to the SEC West!

tremendous performance.
certainly didn't show signs of the heisman hex. one of the better bowl game performances by a heisman winner, that's for sure.

Off topic but we played Ark last year and Miss St this year on the road while you played Aub last year and A&M this year on the road all without getting a home game the following year. Is that how the scheduling will work from now on? The east is getting screwed if so. Probably more Bama influence. Don't any AD's in the east complain about this?

Agree with you, Ray. I saw this link today over at TexAgs and thought you and others might find it a good read on why A&M is destined to be such an incredible force in the SEC. As an Army man myself, this is powerful stuff:

The Longhorns don't know how to admit it yet, but A&M is going to take over that state. In fact, they may have done so already. The SEC brand is just that strong.

You are exactly right. As usual it's the Alabama influence on the SEC. Funny in a way. Texas A&M had enough of the way Texas runs the BIG 12. They didn't know how Alabama gets their way in the SEC so much and everyone else has to fall in line. Or that the Tide has their own 12th man tradition which is the SEC Official on the field.

That was an awesome read, Joel! I'm sure glad you took the time to share that with the rest of us!
