    Currently ranked just below Alabama and LSU. Well, that's a preseason poll, the coaches poll even. They, and OSU for that matter, have too many losses on their schedule to finish the year in the top 10. We know nothing about Alabama's QB(s) and we know A LOT about LSU's (he sucks). I don't think A&M is a title contender, but writing them off as also-rans sounds pretty foolish. The point wasn't even really about this year, it's that aTm is more Arkansas than Alabama. The SEC will chew them up and spit them out far more often than they'll be able to rise to the top of a division that has Alabama, LSU, Auburn, and Arkansas Kansas finished the top 10 and Alabama finished unranked as little as 4 years ago. I dont disagree that A&M isn't in Alabama's class as a program, but I don't think it's a big leap to say that they're better off in a beefed up SEC than in a disintegrating BIg 12. I'd be shocked if the Big 12 makes it five more years. Might as well get out while you can get in the SEC instead of waiting and watching your options dwindle.

    The main reason we want to make this move is so that we're no longer the little brother. As long as we stay with Texas that will always be the case. The SECede shirts are over the top but if it helps get the message to our administration that we're fed up with the status quo then it's all good. I guess you won't be little brother anymore. I'm not sure what you'll be in the SEC, though, when you're getting pounded annually by Bama, Florida, LSU, Auburn, etc. Is that really a better move for aTm? yeah i was gonna say, they'll go from "little brother" in the big xii to "not really relevant" in the sec. they're still a pretty big player in the big xii; in the sec they're just another team. Currently ranked just below Alabama and LSU.

    so are we back to being super exited about brett jackson? OPS of over 1.000 in AAA.

    That's probably because Castro doesn't weakly ground out to second base (or shortstop, since he's a righty) every other at-bat like 4-3 did. A few folks seemed to get perverse pleasure from pointing out that Pierre led the NL in outs made when he was with the Cubs in '06. Guess who's leading this year. ichiro, mutha [expletive] Ichiro isn't in the NL, partner. ALL THESE RULES

    That's what it looks like to me, anyway. I guess the ump could be selling it, too. Either way, f molina. http://espn.go.com/video/clip?categoryId=2521705&id=6829196

    I'm surprised to hear that people in the nats organization think he's more scrutinized than strasburg, i really dont buy that at all. Maybe it's just because he's younger or something, but Strasburg's minor league starts made it to sportscenter. Harper hasnt had anything like that. It's probably a combination of scrutiny and the fact that he gets negative attention for being a douche, while strasburg seems like a pretty good guy.
