IRVING —

Texas A&M should have stayed in the Big 12.

It’s an honest opinion, one that hasn’t changed in the 17 months since the Aggies announced they were leaving for the Southeastern Conference.

Jumping to the SEC was a huge reach, many of us thought back in the fall of 2011. A football program that had never won a BCS bowl game figured to get it handed to them in the unquestioned best conference in college football.

several of the longhorn supporters, who can't even use proper grammar, ("would of" instead of "would have") are still smarting over their own athletic department's stupidity in forcing their longest rivals into leaving the conference, giving up, BTW, guaranteed sellouts in every odd-numbered year at College Station and near sellouts at DKR in every even-numbered year--though not because of t.u. fan support, but because Aggies support their team at away games to the maximum extent they are allowed. I remember about a dozen years in the 1985-1997 time frame when Memorial stadium would have more Aggies in the stands than 'sips in the Thanksgiving weekend classic.

Remember, it wasn't A&M that refused to play t.u. every season after it left the SEC, but t.u.'s DeLoss Dobbs who was too chicken to keep up that series.
