Re: Will Jimbo finally awaken "the sleeping giant" that is Texas A&M Football?
Used to I would have agreed, but I don't think it matters what Texas does. Especially now that A&M is in the SEC.
I'd tend to agree. Just being in the SEC gives them an edge, that is if they are capable of taking advantage of it. Texas is a lot like Florida, just richer and as has been pointed out, perhaps more problematic due to where that money comes from. But if they can figure that part out, there's no reason Texas can't have both Texas and Texas A&M as contenders. Florida has repeatedly done it. Heck, Alabama has repeatedly done it.
Let me put it another way. If Urban Meyer was going to come back and coach in the SEC West, where would I be most concerned he land? The only three spots that would really bother me would be Auburn, LSU, and Texas A&M. Of those three, I'm not really sure which would concern me more, LSU or Texas A&M. Along those lines, which SEC West team concerns me most in the upcoming years? Auburn with Gus? LSU with Coach O? Or A&M with Jimbo? I'd have to take the latter, if he figures it out, he'll leave O and Gus in the dust and be nipping at Saban's heels.
