We are not the only one that lost Manning. Offensive minded Texas A&M now has 5 DTs in its class. Four of them OU offered and Sooners are still without a DT commit. You would think one of them would go to a team that is in a BCS game every other year, especially since A&M hasn't been to a BCS bowl game in a very long time...but they have Manziel the offensive weapon and they play Alabama.
I'm sure A&M will be taking on some of the traditions of the SEC soon:
