I enjoyed the win, I did. It would be stupid if A&M fans didn't.
We came into this conference appreciative of the invite, gracious and accepting of our current place. Many of us certainly wanted to be accepted, to be SEC. Our fan base, passion, loyalty, tradition, and culture indicated we'd be a fit. We didn't expect to be where we are right now, this season. We hoped that the money A&M and Mizzou brought to this conference would make up for our record until we got our feet under us.
We're not accustomed to conference pride, and it's a concept we've had to get used to. It's been difficult in ways. The win was big for us if we follow it up with wins in our next two games. If we don't, it's all for naught. But here we are, and yes there's still a legit chance for it to happen, but here we are now as a conference on the outside looking in to not having another NC. It's not fully in the conference's control. I'm irritated by it because I feel like we've screwed it up for "us", the SEC. Go ahead and say it, I know you want to. "We had a good thing and you guys come in here and jizz it all up."
This isn't a troll, and I know we've got to be school first, conference second, but just sucks in that one weird way. Surely it's not normal to feel bad in that sense, is it?

You ruined a good thing we had going, and you should feel bad.

Team comes first, conference is a distant second.

The fallout is that LSU fans think they beat Alabama on Saturday.

Nah we should have beat you, but we didn't.
But we did show that the gumps were beatable. All this NFL team bullshite went away pretty quick.
Bama will have another loss before the year is over, and prolly lose it's bowl game as well..

No. A team does what is necessary or not.

No.

Yes

distant, if at all

It ain't normal. A team does what is needed to get to ATL/BCS or not. It's on them, not someone else. UF and UA scored more points than us so we're out (unless AU can....nevermind)
My 2cents worth.

Solid
But I think LSU fans are touting a win over A&M. Something Bama cannot do.
shite, Florida should be gloating. They beat A&M and LSU.

No, you play to win your games. When LSU ruined for Tenn in 01 I didn't care one bit.
More sense of “conference pride” may have been hurt (outside Alabama) had it been another team; but Bama winning 3 of 4 NC is more a one trick pony than a true Conference accomplishment. Good for them but I don’t see how it helps anyone else.

I bought this game well over a year ago, and it's just been gathering dust. I'm not sure why. It still looks like it would be fun, I just can't get going.
