Both Neighbors and Schaefer worked together at Arkansas under Gary Blair, now the coach at Texas A&M. “I was floored. ... You would have never seen me bet one dollar on Vic (going to Texas), but it makes sense,” Neighbors said. “When you look now and seeing potential cuts going on at Mississippi State and Vic’s a Texas guy, and I don’t think there’s any sign that Coach Blair is retiring any time soon, yes it makes sense now that you look back at it. [/I] [B][I]“But honestly, I’m glad he’s out of the league (Southeastern Conference), I’m not going to hold back on that. He had built Mississippi State into a monster; [/I][/B][I]I’m not going to say that Nikki (McCray-Penson, who replaced Schaefer at Mississippi State) is not going to keep it going, but [B]I know Vic [/B][/I][B][I]and what he had done and proven it. (They were the) hardest team probably for us to play against, even mentioning South Carolina.”[/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
