Daddy Byrne on aTm/SEC

[Dawgpile]

Per an article in the Dallas Morning News, Byrne didn't think the Aggies could compete in the SEC.

My first response was what a chickenshit attitude that was, but after thinking about it they probably helped themselves in the short-term with one less big fish out of the pond.

If they had joined the SEC, they'd have been able to beat Texas in recruiting, because all those players would've wanted to play in the best conference in the country, NOT for a team whose biggest rival after that would've been Arizona (assuming Texas had gone to the PAC 10).

aTm has one of the largest endowments in the nation- all that oil money would've made them competitive with the Alabamas and Floridas of the world. They would've been bottom-tier the first couple of years, but when they got rid of Mike Sherman and got someone like Nick Saban (aTm "former students" have money that'd make Bammers look like Troy St.), and they would be competing for National Championships every year.
