A Texas fan tells me A&M is afraid to play Longhorns. Right. A&M leaves Big 12 to play Alabama, Auburn and LSU every year, but afraid of Texas? That's like agreeing to fight Tyson, Holmes and Ali, but being afraid of Danger from Million Dollar Baby.

Oh more facts for my Longhorn friend (He may unfriend me for this). Only 3 Texas opponents have a winning record. Six aren't bowl eligible. But 5 A&M foes have at least 9 wins. Nine are bowl eligible. End of discussion.

I'm perplexed why Texas fans rip SEC for playing 4 non-conference games. Maybe it does damage the conference, but SEC teams don't want to give up an extra home game. It's a money grab. If any team understands damaging a conference for a money grab (LHN) it's Texas, isn't it?
