Message: [QUOTE="SmilinBob, post: 290420, member: 857"] Or it started a dialog between the 2 schools. Texas, I mean the big 12, went after the two best big east teams football wise, WV and TCU and now it has a position of strength that may appeal to FSU. It's possible Dodds doesn't want too many football factories in the Big 12 if they beat up on his Longhorns and since adding wv and tcu it is a pretty tough conference. But...it could be a way of getting ND and if it doesn't work they go hard after FSU/Clemson. Texas pride/ego is a funny thing and letting the SEC get A&M AND be the #1 football factory might just be too much for Dodds and the rest of the big money Texans to allow to happen, they won't go down easily and will throw money out there to get what they want. It'll be very interesting to see how Dodds plays this, will he go for the stronger conference or be content with a 10 team Big 12. [/QUOTE]
