I'm not sure how I feel about A&M/UTx playing again, but politicians damn sure don't belong anywhere near the process.
If you're an Aggie, you'd surely relish the thought of whipping Texas' ass for the next few years (which they would) and enjoying the recruiting windfall
At the same time, I tend to think A&M should treat Texas like a desperate ex.
"We'd love to play you Texas, but we now have bigger fish to fry. We've moved on"
It's an interesting dynamic going on here in Texas. A&M's been in Texas' shadow for most of the Mack Brown era and suddenly they've not only pulled even, but rather zoomed to a higher plane, looking down on the folks in Austin. It's pretty funny imo and it's eating at the Horns big time.
Texas' collapse in recruiting this year was absolutely shocking considering their past 10 or so recruiting classes.
