Stafford was recruited before McCoy I believe. He was one year older than McCoy. McCoy was kind of a surprise, he wasn't that highly recruited.
You have the burden of proof, however I see now that you started to change your tune. Next time when you try to throw facts and stats out there, back it up.
I disagree IrishFutbol, most Texas players or any players anywhere would want to play for a National Champion contender such as Alabama or LSU that gets a lot of media attention over a team that is struggling in one of the worse BCS Conferences.
Dead link. And I didn't say he was the top recruit in the nation, I said he was the top recruit in state.
Texas is still getting the top recruits in state. Not sure why you guys think this has changed.
Bryant, in his 1974 autobiography "Bear," recounted a conversation he had with Jack Finney, a member of the A&M Athletic Board, before Bryant agreed to come to College Station.
Bryant: If we could offer a boy the same scholarship deal Texas does, and there were 20 good prospects, how many would we sign?
Finney: Ten
Bryant: You mean we would get half?
Finney: At least.
"That impressed me because I knew I could win with that," Bryant wrote. "But I didn't know the Aggies then like I know them now. Old Jack was exaggerating. You couldn't get ten. You would be lucky to get one. The chances were you wouldn't get any. Not then."
Damn yahoo, anyways Mario Edwards is the top recruit in Texas according to Rivals.
Nothing has changed in Texas since Bear Bryant, nothing will with A&M leaving either.
Og course, nobody is going to argue that. However, this gives the other SEC teams a game in Texas now, which means Alabama, Auburn, Florida, LSU, etc. has a better opportunity to recruit in the state.
If the SEC can't add the 14th team how does the scheduling break down? And will the West complain about the unfairness of having more teams to play in conference or what?
How often will they play in Texas? OU plays there every year. They'll be competing against Texas and OU...
good question. I really dont see how they can have split conference with an odd amount. It also messes with what who would be the cross divisional permanent rivalry game for aTm when the east already has those games in place. Perhaps everone plays 9 in conference games and the top 2 go to the SECCG.
For the West teams, every other year and maybe every two years. I'm not worried about competing against OU and Texas.
Sooner fans also have the Texas Inferiority complex ballboy. It is funny listening to both schools whine and bitch about being kings of the world when the Pac12 shot them down. That has to be humbling.
I am going to laugh when Mizzou leaves. I think it is going to happen. I was hoping KSU, Kansas, and Iowa State were going to say fuck it and head to the Big East. Those three schools have been the only reasonable parties in this entire mess.
