With Texas A&M coming into the SEC, it's unavoidable that they will become a rival. They have a strong recruiting class thus far although it remains to be seen what the firing of Sherman will do. Having Houston be a strong program should help keep some good players away from A&M thus helping LSU. A&M is going to start pushing hard into west Louisiana. We've got to make sure west LA is shored up and lock down the border.
OK Folks, as of today Coach Sumlin is the leading candidate to replace Sherman.If he takes the job it will mean the kids opting for U of H will now opt for A & M. College Station is not too far away from here. From the Washington Post: "The school hasn’t identified any candidates, but possible replacements could include Houston coach Kevin Sumlin or Louisville coach Charlie Strong. Sumlin, who has led the seventh-ranked Cougars to a 12-0 record, was an assistant at A&M from 2001-02. "
