        Yeah, but they're carpetbaggers. They probably ordered in sushi.

                It's okay. Just confirms everything we ever suspected of Utes.

                  • Gov. Perry will decide where the Aggies go...

                    Texas Gov. Rick Perry will have a decisive say in which conference his alma mater, Texas A&M, joins and he probably prefers the Aggies link with Texas and other Big 12 schools and accept invitations to the Pac-10 Conference, two long-time political figures told the Statesman.

                    “Anybody who thinks Rick Perry is not going to sign off on the final decision is fooling himself,” one of the sources said. “A&M will go where the governor wants them to go.”

                    The second source said Perry, a former Texas A&M yell leader, does not want to do anything to disrupt his re-election plans and consequently might try to push the Aggies toward the Pac-10 to calm the political waters. Perry has said he’d prefer to keep all the Texas schools together.

                    “Perry’s political team has told him that the one thing that could beat him (in the November election) is to get involved in a football fight,” the long-time political observer in Austin said Saturday. “He doesn’t want to tick off Texas Tech and the Longhorns. The least amount of political downside is for A&M to join the Pac-10.”

                    That source also said he thinks the Aggies will ultimately side with the Longhorns and accept Pac-10 invitations, probably on Tuesday when the University of Texas board of regents meets in Austin. No meeting of A&M regents has been set, but the Texas Tech board is also meeting Tuesday.
                    “I think the Aggies are playing it coy,” the second source said. “I don’t see A&M going away from its conference rivals and end those rivalries. But A&M doesn’t want to look like me, too (going with Texas).”

                        • I thought watching the USA-England match would distract me from my anxiety about conference expansion. But now I need to distract myself from the game WITH conference expansion. Here is the latest that i've found:

                          A&M doesn't have an invite from the SEC
                          http://www.statesman.com/blogs/conte...ogs_bohl_games

                          Gov Perry will force A&M to go with Texas because it may cost him the election
                          http://www.statesman.com/blogs/conte...ogs_bohl_games

                          Not sure about this last one. Would A&M not going with Texas have political implications?

                            If in the end A&M gets left for dead, then yes, there will be considerable implications. You're talking about two schools that each turn out 10,000 new alums per year.

                              The rumors are that A&M's SEC invite was contingent on bringing UT or OU which seems to make sense to me. It also kind of goes along with what Gene Stallings said in an interview the other day...

                              A lot of Texans will be very pissed if they turn on the TV on Thanksgiving and A&M and UT are not playing. What the hell else are they going to do on Thanksgiving?

                              • It's still wide open. Perry is staying out of it (contrary to prior reports).
