Yeah being born and raised in SC and in the SEC I sometimes forget not everyone comes from such a culture. Some in my group came from small towns / just aren't into sports at all. When they saw Kyle Field their jaws dropped. Don't get me wrong, its a nice big stadium, but with my home stadium being comparable in attendance (pre Kyle expansion) and attending games across the SEC I was more like



Also, I immediately noticed how glad you guys were to get into the SEC and break away from Texas. You guys are in your 2nd year and I've never seen so many SEC logos and heard "this is SEC country" than I have at A&M.

Its a shame though, I would've loved to attend a UTx-A&M game.

We are beyond giddy to be in this conference. The honeymoon phase will wear off eventually, especially as it becomes more of a fact of life that we play y'all every season, but for those of us who were invested in the realignment happenings, it'll always be special (and a little surreal, to borrow JFF's pet word ).

That game will come back eventually, I am sure of it. Hopefully not soon, but it'll be back.

Personally, I'm more excited to start playing SC regularly

It's to reinforce for recruits on campus that they are in the conference of champions. Also in our football lobby an aerial shot of all the different SEC stadiums. It's a big selling point. Going from a Texoma-centric conference to the SEC.
