Jeb Bush: Longhorns got 'greedy' starting own network; A&M-UT should play

...

Should Texas play Texas A&M?

Absolutely. ...

Do you wish Texas was in the SEC? "I do. I think they got greedy. The football deal, the football network thing that they thought they could go at it alone. It just didn't work....

[PAR35]

Jeb takes a strong stand on controversial issues in an effort to turn the campaign around.

Not sure if this belongs in breaking news or chat, so I put it in chat.

But this certainly signals a new, issues oriented Jeb.

[TexasFreeper2009]

Texas A&M needs to come back home to the big 12.

[PAR35]

If they want to play second fiddle to the ‘horns.

And on behalf of almost all SEC fans, let me say, we don’t want the Longhorns. We already have a big orange UT.

[RitaOK]

Amen. And I’m all about the Sooners.

[johniegrad]

If they want to play second fiddle to the ‘horns.

Texas is in complete disarray. Lots of talk for years but now one of the worst of the "powers" in the NCAA.

[nascarnation]

Doesn’t seem all that long ago they were a power. Now they are AWOL, you hear about A&M, Baylor, TCU. Obviously they’ve lost the recruiting battles down there.

[johniegrad]

The athletic director, Steve Patterson, recently resigned after loss of support and alienation of influential alumni and football supporters.

It will take years for the program to recover and recruitment will be damaged. Texas is in chaos.

If you’re not into following football rivalries for that part of the country, who cares, Jeb?

[dfwgator]

Texas needs to embrace The Borg and join the SEC.

[Will88]

Texas needs to embrace The Borg and join the SEC.

The SEC is big enough with fourteen teams. The Big 12-2 needs to add a couple of good programs and get back to twelve teams.

It was a royal screw-up for the Big 12 to lose Nebraska and A&M. They had great natural rivalries in the conference and a conference that was often as strong as any other..

Not a fan of this super-conference notion where some think we should have fewer conferences of sixteen or more teams each.

[wgmalabama]

Texas a&am, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, mizu Would all block it. Texas dug its shit filled grave and now they can lay in it. Btw I am an sec fan but don’t give a crap on Texas vs A&M

[MamaB]

The SEC does not need Texas. The conference is big enough.

[razorback-bert]

The tea-sippers had their chance and declined.

[demshateGod]

I just want the Bevos somewhere else.

[scooby321]

Texas screwed up

Texas A&M have an awesome schedule every year and UT not

[lonestar]

I don’t recall the ‘horns ever being invited to join the SEC.

[demshateGod]

They're like a big corporation: too big to change with the times, so they use their power to suppress competition. I'm an OSU fan and we benefit with recruiting because we play Texas, but I'm sick of them. I want ATM, Mizzou, CU, and Neb back. I hate OU but I actually want the Gooners to beat UT tomorrow. The B12 is a joke because of them. We'll just go join an SEC super conference. Texas can go play Notre Dame 13/ season and make all the money they want with their awesome network.

[ken5050]

Don't know if you ever heard his little gem from 4 years ago..brilliant parody, and she has a gorgeous voice as well: "The Day the Big 12 Died"

[razorback-bert]

Way back, when the SWC fell apart.

[MuttTheHoople]

Texas A&M doesn't need the T-sips anymore. they're in the SEC, the greatest conference in America, where all the other schools want to beat them on the field, but wish the best for them otherwise.

T-Sip Tech is slowly becoming a Boutique School with a good music scene.
