Read the entire post... he’s talking about Texas hiding in the big 12 throughout the entire thing. The sec flag is him saying that A&M and it’s superior schedule will own the state. It’s saying that despite playing a vastly harder schedule, A&M can still establish itself as the best team in the state. Not just beating a bunch of conference USA level recruiting opponents and having 1-2 big games a year with ou and whoever they schedule ooc.  It’s not riding coattails at all... its discussing the difference in competition levels.

why do Texas fans always think A&M is trying to ride the coattails of sec schools any time they bring up sos? Do you guys not understand the argument or what? 

Ah, I see what you’re saying there.

Now, let’s be real here too, all y’all Aggies been riding those SEC coattails every chance you get. Heck, it’s your biggest recruiting pitch!!

Using Playing against the best competition in the biggest games as a recruiting pitch is not riding coattails. It’s stating facts. The sec puts out almost 3 times as many draft picks as the big 12 the last few years. Sec schools(especially the west) dominate the other conferences in recruiting elite talent in terms of depth for each team. A&M gives Texas kids the opportunity to play against elite competition week in and week out and the fact of the matter is more of them get drafted because of it. That’s jot riding coattails that’s stating a quantifiable fact, that the sec competition from a player to player basis is tougher in terms of “talent” both recruiting and the draft. 

A&M uses this pitch to its advantage. So what? How is it riding the coattails of other teams. If Texas tells a kid that they will get to play against elite QBs in the big 12, are they riding the coattails of OU and the others? No.

Talk to you in a little bit. Gotta go to the church house.

Y’all notice the funniest thing about that post?

The Aggie fan said to mount a flag on top of the state capitol building, but it wasn’t of his favorite university, he proposed to put up the SEC conference flag.

It’s truly quite amazing how worried about the SEC Texas A&M Fighting Aggies alums and fans are. 

Ride those coattails!!!!! Gig ‘em!

😀

🤘🏻

I noticed it

It's crazy to think that he's only played QB for 1 year. He'll only continue to get better. 

Still think Jackson will be the QB for Texas out of the 2.  Good thing is both can play other positions other than QB for whoever loses out.  Jackson looks like a LB/SS.  I wish he played some defense during the season.

Even recruits mommas notice the difference in competition (see momma broughtons post)

Probably because the crazies say things like “plant a SEC flag” instead of wanting to plant an A&M flag.

There is only 1 school in the SEC right now... everyone else is just trying to climb a ladder that keeps falling apart

No... there have been 4 different sec schools win National titles in the last 12 years. That’s about as good of parity as you’re going to get. Show many any conference in history with more parity over that span...

Now, I wouldn’t go so far as to say there’s only one team. There are three, but one that’s head and shoulders above the rest.

The Big 12 has two. All this talk about the SEC having such great depth.....meh

How long are time frame are we talking here? That changes things. Florida isn’t on top right now, but has won two national titles in just the last 12 years. Are they not in the 3? Auburn has played for 2 national titles and were robbed the chance of another during the bcs years. Georgia is very strong right now. 

My point is not riding coattails and if you say that I’ll punch you lol. (Kissing) What I’m saying is Bama, Auburn, LSU, Florida, Georgia have been very very good at some point in the last decade or so. Like, national title good. That’s not at all what I would consider a top heavy conference. Show many any other conference that has better parity than that. And that’s not even including my thoughts on the middle of the pack sec teams. 

Again, I’m not riding coattails. I’m not sure you guys even know what that means the way you throw it around. Talking about conference depth and taking credit for their accomplishments are not the same thing...

The last 10 years Alabama has won 6 SEC championships, Auburn 2, and LSU/Georgia 1 a piece. 

The last 10 years Oklahoma has won 5 Big 12 championships, Baylor 2, Oklahoma St/Kansas St/Texas 1 a piece. 

By distribution of conference championships, the Big12 has more parity.

This was all part of Nick’s master plan. He needed Mack to stay at Texas to keep them from hiring Hugh Freeze away from Ole Miss. Nick knew that it was just a matter of time before Ole Miss imploded, and they would be irrelevant for another twenty years afterwards. He knew Freeze wouldn’t need burner phones and escorts to recruit at Texas, and he would rather face him in conference play than in a National Championship Game. Advantage Nick. 

That's a better theory than Qanon.  😄

I was talking about national titles. That means that 4 teams, 5 if you include Georgia, have been good enough to be in the top 2 teams in America at some point over the last 12 seasons. That’s completely different than winning the conference imo.

Ivy League...in the early days. 4 teams I believe...one of the 4 won the NC for like 25-30 years in a row.

So apparently an Aggie mod has told his masses that Broughton has already contacted the staffs and told them his commitment

I don’t read into that. No mod knows anything. Some mods are just pretending like they have info on this.

I was kind of meaning modern football. Say 1970s-current. But yes the Ivy League schools did dominate and I did say any conference or time period.

I do believe the kid goes to Texas, but I don’t think these mods know anything. I think this is an example of all of them getting their crystal ball picks in before he commits. Going with the momentum without necessarily having any intel.

Supposedly luicci put out something on his premium site saying that Broughton has contacted Fisher and said it was going to be Texas.  IF so, that’s par for the course with him.  He’s ruined a few “moments” for kids in the past.   I can imagine the word gets around of who you can trust and who you can’t.  Taylor Hamm comes to mind.....
