"(The team) has accepted a certain level that is unacceptable," Sherman said. "We need to have high standards. People at Texas A&M expect us to win. They expect us to be a top-10 team. They expect us to be in a BCS game. There's no reason that we're not up there with Oklahoma, Texas and Texas Tech."

Tech
grouped with OU and UT? Is Sherman crazy? We’re just that little school way out here in dusty Lubbock with low admission standards. Wow I thought Sherman was better than that.
I'm actually suprized he mentioned us
it means that they might actually consider us a threat. Shocking, isn’t it?
next step...
About 7 years ago I figured it would take about 5-10 years to get above TAMU, I figured it’d take a little longer to make them at least see us as “legit”. I’d say we’re about on schedule. I figure if TAMU starts beating us again they’ll go back to trying to dismiss us. We’ve got about 3 more games to take the overall series lead with TAMU (IIRC, I think it’s currently at 34-32-1 or so, lead TAMU), and if we take that then I think we’ll stick as one of the “big 3” (formerly/maybe still BARELY big 2) in Texas for a while.
Finally
It’s about time they started to realize Tech way ahead of them in football. I think the national attention we received this past season didn’t hurt. Unfortunately for them I don’t see their program getting much better under Sherman. It’s only a matter of time before we take over on the recruiting side. Their history is all SWC based and has no recent success. Gotta love the Big 12.
