Ain’t gotta read, just need to be able to count…
As in championships, and money.

I hope somebody asks Jimbo or someone from A&M if there is any added pressure this year to make a run/big impact ect. Knowing that Texas is expected to have a good year and will be in the conference next year.

I gotta believe there is.
 
Some interesting tidbits - ATM had one of their players say the silent part out loud. Now, before you jump my shit about piling on the fact that ATM lost half their class last year - I kid, I kid - read this because it's actually good news for ATM fans.

Texas A&M’s Ainias Smith said out loud what we all knew…

“I’d say in the past we haven’t come together in a way. It was a lot of individualism coming into A&M. A lot of people that are coming now that are getting recruited are so big on NIL. You know, parents are looking for NIL deals or whatnot and a lot of people then were just so fixated on me, me, me and wanted to get things done for them and not necessarily a team thing...

Now I feel like the team is actually buying in. We don’t have those people that are going to jump back at you if you try to correct something or you try to help them in a way. They’re not going to feel some type of way or feel attacked because of whatever it is that they’re going through. Everybody is willing to listen, willing to be led. I feel like that’s the biggest difference this year is the accountability that we’ve had for each other. Just making sure that we’re all on the same page. Just doing all of the little things at a very high level and doing it consistently.”

Smith went on to say more about NIL and the impact of Covid-19.

“It’s really all about the mentality of the program. I guess you can say it started with the freshmen – not for real, though. I mean it started with everybody. It was the new big thing. Everybody wanted to get NIL. It was a little different after that Covid year.”

Smith went on to say that the impact of the pandemic played a larger role in impacting the Aggies.

“I wouldn’t necessarily say NIL played the biggest role in whatever happened,” Smith said. “I feel like it was Covid… The high schoolers, they didn’t necessarily have to go to school for a point of time and when they had come to college, it was like they had the expectation that they didn’t have to go to school.

“Like, ‘Kid, who are you? You just got here!’ I feel like now that things are getting back to normal – you still got to go to school, you still got to go to study hall – being able to lead guys that want to be led and really hold people accountable for things that aren’t right. So, if you miss school or you miss study hall, then now we have something to punish you for it and it’s not even so much about the punishment. It’s all about the accountability, making sure that we’re all trying to reach the same goal, all on the same wavelength.”
 
This was funny ... that was such a funny moment where everyone thought that he was going to slam him down, then everyone, officials included, got a good chuckle out of it.

 
I am convinced more than ever that there are only a few reasons that the SEC will expand:

1. It's a defensive move in 2034-ish if the B1G goes after schools in the ACC and the SEC determines it's best to block them.

2. There is some way you can add 4-8 more schools without diluting each school's share ... something I've never seen explained and which doesn't make sense to me, and I've studied the shit out of it.

3. If they come available, I can't see the SEC not taking Clemson, FSU, and obviously Notre Dame (not that they would come to the SEC). Those are the only 3 no-brainers for the SEC.
