Sure we are have a very low chance of winning a natty in football but at least there was a bit of hope that kept the fires burning in our guts. With this alignment that hope is pretty much a dead deal.
Texas hasn't been at Bama levels since Fred Akers was roaming the sidelines. Is Oklahoma good? Yes. But are they unbeatable like Bama? No. Also these teams are going to have to completely retool their recruiting strategies. They can't just outscore people anymore. I think people forget that it took an uber generational talent in Manziel for A&M not to struggle in the West. Bring em on, because we have one of the two coaches that strike fear into OU and TX fans.....The 17 Pirate. The other is Saban if you were wondering.
