Not speaking on behalf of the fanbases of these two schools, I would imagine both of them miss the regional rivalries

There's not much to miss. Other than Texas, we just hated Tech but it wasn't really a rivalry, and had Baylor pawing at us to try and start a rivalry with them. That was it. Would give it up again 100 times over.

If you take last year's SEC and Big 12, 3 of our 5 most played opponents are in the Big 12 (texas, tech, baylor), and 2 are in the SEC (arky, lsu)...Soo...we trade the top 3 for #4 and #5.
texas will be on our schedule again whether we like it or not in the next 5-10 years, so were talking about trading baylor/tech for LSU/arky. No brainer which option we prefer.
The Big 8 schools in the Big 12 we have 0 history with, and have only been with them for 15 years. The Okie schools and Kansas schools aren't any more or less "regional" than schools in the SEC West are to us.

I'll admit I do miss the Texas rivalry and not having a specific team on Thanksgiving, at this point. I grew up with us playing Texas either on Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving weekend, its all I've ever known. Now, being in different conferences, there's still hatred there with both sides wishing the other one ill will and going after the same recruits, but its just not the same if we aren't playing every year.
And if the pussy deloss has his way and prevents Texas from being in the Cotton Bowl if they want us both to play...

Aggie wise let me break this down.
[TECH] They keyed my car with "frick FAGGIES GO TECH" so nope not missing those STD infested cock suckers!
[baylor] Their dudes come down here wearing affliction shirts trying to start fights and then go cry and call you unchristian when you lay their asses out.
[ut] Their students/Alumni are fun to drink with. However their bandwagon Tshirt fanhood are a bunch of douchebags that act just like ****y tech fans.

Actually no I don't miss the regional rivalries from the other conference. I grew up seeing us play Arky yearly, then it was gone. It's good to be back to playing them and LSU each year, as well as the rest of the SEC West. Lot's of family across those state lines. I wouldn't trade Kentucky for Baylor or TCU, or even Oklahoma, for example.
The entire SEC appears to be very tight. Sure there is infighting, but is that a surprise? So, why is the SEC so tight, or are they? When Georgia goes to a bowl game does Florida & Alabama root for them? I would guess mostly yes, but I do not know. Any thoughts?
