Alabama Football: Despite bonds of respect, Aggies and Tide are different

Alabama Football: Aggies’ plan to dominate Texas is to emulate the Alabama Crimson Tide.

The old saying is everything is bigger in Texas. One example is a big Aggies’ want, to match the success of Alabama football. In recent seasons, Aggie fans and some deep-pocket donors have learned, matching the Alabama Crimson Tide takes more than joining the SEC.

It seemed easy at first, in 2012. Hire a hot, offensive-minded coach, join the SEC, beat the Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa. In College Station, championship expectations quickly followed. Those championship dreams have ebbed considerably.
