That does not belong to A&M.

Sure it does. They get to claim they've had a heisman trophy winner in their history and that helps with recruiting.

On the field? Probably Mizzou. Off of it as far as branding and marketing and recruiting? A&M easily. A lot of that is JFF though.

national runner up is a hell of an honor. I'd be proud of that accomplishment.

Mizzou has, but our SEC-level upgrades are almost complete.

A&M and it's not even close.

I guess that's Bc we have played them twice in football.

fyi, he's actually our 2nd Heisman winner. Also, there are 2 Heisman trophies given out. One goes to the player, one to the school. This is actually true of all the individual awards.

As to the question, I really don't know. I would say more people identify A&M with the SEC but it's really hard to tell from my vantage point. The A&M-SEC branding has been pretty successful though.

Yeah, if we are talking about who benefitted the most it is A&M easily. Heck, A&M benefitted more than any program from modern conference realignment.

ESPN agrees:

I think both programs have made smoother transitions than many expected.

"Successfully integrated?" Not exactly sure what that means; but Mizzou has obviously advanced farther in football, if that's the rationale behind the question.

It's good to be here, regardless.

I think Missouri had integrated better but Aggy has seen more benefits. College Station is such a weird place that I don't know if they will ever mesh with the SEC except for on the football field. Little brother goes to aTm and there are some strange cats out there.. He refers to them as "good ole'Ags". Missouri is more in line with the culture of the SEC but is hampered by their location and ability to recruit.

A lot easier to "integrate" when you're in the SEC East with a injured Georgia and the joke that was UF last season.

I think the real question is how did the A&M/MU integration compare to the SC/Arky integration?
