Long long time lurker (be kind texags) but I must share with the texags community. We are nationally relevant.
Backstory, I live in the heart of southern cal, meaning in Westwood - homeland of ucla.
After a&m game I went to local grocery store for food for dinner. Asked the checkout guy "hey do you watch college football?"
"yes."
Me - "Johnny football made a top 5 play of the year and eventually won the game. You gotta watch sc."
He gushes " i love Johnny football and a&m is my favorite team." "of course Johnny football made top ten sports center."
Told him good game for ucla - his response was "probably - but Johnny football is the only reason I watch college football."
Maybe not as cool for those in the homeland, but for those of us abroad - hearing a&m is a nationally relevant super team is amazing. Especially for my fellow ags that suffered through the shermchioni years.
