well that's certainly a bad article. Excellent critique, sir. it was basically an article written to get attention by trolling the longhorns, since he assumed that texas haters would love it and texas supporters would hate it. obviously the writer's plan worked to perfection in your case. Obviously any Aggie is going to get a chuckle reading something like that, but it's not like I'm throwing it out there as the gospel truth. I find it hard to believe that Texas would have to beg any conference for admission. As much as I dislike them, it's clear that they bring a lot of positives to whatever conference they are in. They do bring some negatives too, but those would be limited in a powerful conference like the SEC, B1G, and possibly PAC-12.
