Yall went from a conference where yall were in contention for 2nd place most years to a conference where the best you can hope to finish is 5th in the conference. Atleast Mizzou go placed in a division where they have a shot at winning.

Did you ever actually watch Aggie in the Big 12? They hadn't been a consistent factor since the late 1990s.

Do you regret asking such a stupid question?

Actually, under Slocum, we were in contention twice. Both years we won our Division.

Under Franchione and Sherman combined, we were in contention once (2010)

Actually our default place in the Big 12 was 4th at best behind Texas, OU and Nebraska. That means a small margin of error and we were scraping the bottom.

The environment in the SEC is miles better than in the B12. TAMU was in a toxic relationship with Texas and has never been able to really control their own destiny - they can do that now and there's a lot to be said just for finally having the ability to stand or fall on your own instead of having little control over your own fate.

Sure the conference is harder but the rewards are also bigger and better.

In the long run, no.
In the short run...well, they almost certainly would've beaten Notre Dame in the 13 BCSCG.

You're the first person to start this thread. Ever. Seriously. It's never been discussed.

What a cute LSU talking point. It's ok lil' buddy, as long as you did better in 2012 in your own heads, that's what counts.

Eh, 77-0 or 59-0 it's all the same right?

Not even a little.
Go find any preseason prediction thread.
With the exception of the South Carolina win, this season is going just as most of us predicted (minus the horrid Bama score).
Not sure what changed in the eyes of some; but per the past two years, folks seem to think we should've won the division with a new coach who's in rebuild mode.
We'll get there, in time.

I can appreciate the OP bait, though.

They traded 77-0 for 59-0.

That's progress.

At least all the big 12 schools accepted them for their weirdness and traditions

zero point zero.

Fat, dumb and stupid is no way to go through life.

The world needs ditch diggers, so you just keep on keeping on.
