And your argument fails complete. You can say you were better last season. One season in the previous 20. If we look at history we see that even if you have the occasional flair up, it is never sustained. As for having a brighter future in a better conference, you are leaving for that conference after a season which you will lose virtually all of your top players. Recruits like winners, and you will not be a winner in the SEC. You can barely compete for a Big 12 South championship, usually fighting Tech and OSU for third in the south. What makes you think you will fare any better in the SEC? You'll be fighting ole miss for 5th in the West if you go there. No recruits will want to play for you. The fact that you are going to the SEC will only prove that you can't compete consistently with top teams. Y'all are 11-9 against against us the past 20 years.
You say we are losing all of our top players. Only 3 offensive starters are seniors, and only half of the defensive starters are.
You are right, recruits will never come here. We have a top 10 class lined up right now for 2012. Even if we just get the normal recruits we have been, Sherman coaches them up. Your sips have a roster full of 4 and 5 stars, and we saw how well they played last season.
If we are so sorry and such an easy win, you'd think your administration wouldn't be acting like a bunch of pussies by trying to drop the game with us. Then again, our programs are going in different directions, and it isn't like they haven't shied away from the more difficult road in the past....

Really? Claiming they are poor and can't afford the flight to Hawaii?
