Make no mistake, the Aggies are gone and Gig ‘Em to the SEC. I’m hearing — though it didn’t happen yesterday — that the SEC’s Sunday decision was more pause-button than eject. With a time frame of 21 days, no doubt this will be A&M’s final season in the Big 12.

Saturday in Austin there was a Longhorns’ scrimmage so secretive that invited guests were subjected to a pat-down and forced to surrender their cell phones. A guy I know that attended doesn’t have video or pics to document it, but he swears quarterback Garrett Gilbert looked shitty.

Maybe he’ll be better come November 24 in College Station, in what could be the storied rivalry’s 118th and final meeting.
