Stephen F. Austin Ready For Big 10/12

Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman drinks a hearty glass of dull before meeting with the media; something he probably learned from his NFL days where anything remotely interesting is strictly forbidden.
But The Sherminator crossed the line on Monday when he said this when asked about playing Division I-AA Stephen F. Austin on Saturday in the season opener.

“It’s no different than playing Texas or Nebraska or Oklahoma or Baylor or anyone else," Sherman told reporters.

This is very exciting news if you're a SFA fan; your Jacks are on the same field as Horns, Sooners, Huskers or Bears.

Nice try, Mac. But let's look at the whole exchange to see that point that was really being made:

PRESS: "Do you have a lot of film on Stephen F. Austin? I know they're a Division I-AA so to speak. Is there everything available on them as you could get on another team on your schedule?

SHERMAN: "Yes."

PRESS: How do you look at it given everything's all new and they are a Division I-AA team? What can you glean from it?

SHERMAN: "It's no different than playing Texas or Nebraska or Oklahoma or Baylor or anyone else. It's our first opponent and all the film that we have available for those games we have for this game. And we break them down exactly the same way."
