We discussed the hiring of John Reese as our newest assistant coach in the men's basketball program.

We had a terrific show, as miketag and I talked extensively about conference realignment, and what it would mean for A&M if we joined the SEC. wishiwasalonghorn joined us, and gave us the texas perspective on everything. We also discussed what it would mean for texas if they went independent, and how they could use the scheduling model perfected by Miami before they went to the Big East and Florida State before they joined the ACC to feature themselves as a national title contender. We also briefly discussed recruiting, and the addition of Kohl Stewart to the 2013 recruiting class. We went over our time limit, and actually had a 45 minute show going before we were cut off.
