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.

SEC head of officials John McDaid on if "Horns down" is a penalty: "Take the act out of a football stadium, put it in a shopping mall. Is it something that would offend the senses of the majority of reasonable people in the area?

Pay no attention to haters. Jimbo Fisher kept together a team ravaged by injuries, including to the starting QB, and led the Aggies to a win over No. 1 Alabama. Some belittle the accomplishments of others to make themselves feel better.

I applauded A&M for hiring Jimbo Fisher and I applaud A&M for firing him. Strive to be great. If the coach cannot get you there move on. Jimbo looked like he had A&M trending toward greatness in the first 3 years. The last 3 have a huge disappointment. So move on.

I just Alabama LB Will Anderson if he knows who Reuben Fatheree is. Anderson said "No. I have no idea.' Of course, Fatheree is A&M RT who stone-walled Anderson's pass rush on A&M's game-tying TD pass in 4th Q vs. Alabama. A&M won on its next series.

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?

Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher on Tuesday morning told Tyler radio host Bill Coates that DE Micheal Clemons and S Keldrick Carper will return next season. Clemons was leading the Aggies in sacks before suffering an injury. That's 5 seniors on defense that have opted to return.

Not surprised, but I think the outrage over Fisher grabbing Tyrel Dodson's face mask is silly. In HS I drove my coach so crazy he practically grabbed my face mask on a daily basis. We accepted it was a tough game with tough coaching. Has FB gotten that soft?

So word is A&M to Gator Bowl. Kentucky to Citrus Bowl. So what we can take from this is if A&M plays LV instead of No.2 Clemson they go to Citrus. If A&M plays Miami instead of No. 2 Clemson A&M is in NY's Six bowl. OK ... now just go win Gator.
