Every game is one you want to watch/attend, which is much different from the Big 12, but the biggest thing obviously is DEPTH. It is going to take us a couple years but we will get there. I think our first complete team with SEC ready depth will be ready by 2015 or 2016.

Honestly, last year I simply looked at Alabama as good team. I had not yet dug into the numbers. This year, I accepted at the outset that we were probably going to lose two of the three Georgia, Florida, or S. Carolina games.
We've played A&M before. I knew we could compete with A&M when we are healthy. Then A&M took off on a tear.
So, I am pleasantly surprised by this year's progress. At the start of the year, I never imagined playing Alabama. And now I am thinking we are going to compete and actually have a chance to win in Atlanta.
I am impressed with the caliber of the fans. The SEC fans are so polite, friendly, and welcoming. Of course, there are always jerks - but that seems to be the exception rather than the rule. I look forward to traveling next year when school is done.

It's very tiring. I love football but every game counts. I'm high after a win until Wednesday then I start fretting about the team coming up.
I really glad to be in the SEC.

Oh, I'm deadly serious with this one....
The SEC games have made the NFL almost boring to me. After Saturday I'm emotionally spent and I kind of just chill watching the NFL.

I am shocked by the progress that both the new teams have made. The AGs are gonna be a problem for a long time, but I underestimated Mizzou big time. It's actually making it a lot more fun to have so many teams that appear to be very even and anyone can win at any venue. Been a crazy year so far.

There is no "higher quality" in the SECSECSEC.
Just a bunch of inbred hillbillies that can't read jerking each other off.
If two irrelevant Big 12 teams can dominate in the SECSECSEC, then real teams like Texas should win.
After all, the only reason Alabama won the 2009 title was because Colt got hit illegally.

It just keeps getting better. Obviously the results haven't been quite what we hoped for this year but that's what happens when you don't have a defense.
A&M has gone from being the shiny new object to really taking hold of the conversation here in Texas. For instance, the A&M/Ole Miss game had HIGHER ratings than the RRS with Texas/OU. That's mind boggling, especially because their schedule is such a crap sandwich now. It feels like the '80s and early '90s when you felt confident in winning and that you were going to get great recruiting year in and year out. Love it.
Seeing the new stadium becoming a reality is also huge as are the new facilities. The Big 12 just seems so stale compared to the SEC.
The feel of the games is changing as well. The rivalries and familiarity is starting to set in. We are getting to know the West teams and they us and it is starting to move from newness to competitiveness and that's a good thing.

Enjoy that half-empty stadium when Johnny NCAA Violation leaves and Sumlin goes to the NFL.

Hypocrisy. Injuries weren't an excuse for us last season or this season, but everyone else gets a pass if they aren't 100%.

TCU and West Virginia are upgrades over Aggy and Mizzu...even Baylor is finally pulling their weight.

I'm a lot smarter than traditional SEC fans.
That's something I suspected in year one but didn't confirm with 100% certainty until -- actually, no, I always knew this.

I like the idea of a resident horn alter.
But you're not pulling this off at all.
You're really not funny, and I'm sort of embarrassed for you.
Please stop out of self respect.

Haha DWAG, I was thinking the same thing. Poor guy is trying so hard, bless his heart. Sad thing is, he really thinks he is gonna rustle our jimmies with his pathetic attempts

Only an ignorant aggy would use a phrase like "rustling jimmies".

I hadn't considered that this might be the actual Randolph Duke. He truly is insane.

That's cute, a tu guy wanting a spot at the big boy table.
Pretty pathetic, really.
