re: TAM is looking worse by the minute

That’s a myth. The Aggies are not worried about the third best team in the Big XII. The rest of the SEC doesnt realize what a rotten spoiled bunch of self entitled egotists they are. They ran up their football record against A&M mainly in war years, while they were dodging the draft. Since the end of the Vietnam war the record is almost even. They have a history of destroying conferences, making side deals to the detriment of other schools. But now that the Aggies have surpassed them they want to bulldoze their way in. frick em. They made their bed, They made the Big XII.

(no message)

Aggies need to get out of the old mindset about UT. TAMU will be the most powerful school in Texas in 20 years. Replace that wounded insecurity with quiet confidence. UT going to SEC bc they are declining and panicking. You should be jumping for joy that you get to accelerate the decline. And to be clear I don’t like Aggie sports at all. Respect the university a lot.

You idiots have no idea about Texas - you will learn. As for what A&M will do, I have no idea? I just donate to the school. Only thing I know is I am very much looking forward to football this Fall.

That sentiment is far cry from you saying you were on Mack browns Christmas card list and in the know with every fightin Texas aggie power broker

I'm thrilled about playing those douchebags again. Was hoping it would be on OOC game, but the alternative is fine since the schools won't do it themselves. OU? Meh ... could care less. As for Sankey? From what I've been told by people I trust (burnt orange boosters surprisingly) he straight up screwed A&M by keeping it in the dark.

Frick him

Again you should thank him. If he had consulted the old Aggie mindset may have tanked the whole thing. Sports is just part of this. I’m talking about the power of the university in the state. UT declining and TAMU rising. This move will only help. All those old powerful UT boosters are a dying breed.

I think adding OU and UT to the SEC is going to really change some recruiting dynamics that have developed over the decade. The best programs - Alabama, Georgia, LSU, etc - will adapt to a lower win percentage in Texas HS recruiting but this could really dramatically affect other programs who were developing a Texas-centric recruiting strategy w/o having geographic connection to the region like Arkansas and Louisiana.

It was all done behind their backs. I don't blame them. Texas is a bunch of initialed whinny babies. They ruined SouthWest Conference and started the Big 12. Now they're leaving the Big 12....what babies!

This is the Texas way.

They worked a deal in silence to take the entire Big 12 South to the Pac before A&M left the Big 12. Only they were also dealing with ESPN on TLN. Many have suspicions the plan was to ink the deal on LHN, bail on the move to the Pac 10 subbing in Colorado and going independent.

It is how they operate. It is their MO. This is what pisses A&M fans off. A&M fans like the SEC because everyone gets to sit in the same style chair at a big round table. In the SWC and Big XII Texas and occasionally a guest would get to sit at the "adult table" and everyone else got to sit at the kiddie table

LSU should be worried and should be voting no as well. Her is one instance where their overinflated opinion of themself will be fatal.
