A&M and Mizzou

Arky and South Carolina were added in 1992 and were nothing for several years.
A&M and Mizzou have made an immediate impact and have also weakened the Big 12, which I don't think a lot of people saw coming. If Mizzou and A&M were in the Big 12 right now the conference would be considered much more relevant than it currently is, and they would be 2 of the top 3 teams in the conference along with Baylor.
Pretty amazing timing by the SEC to add these teams.

In all honesty, ever think maybe the curators of your schools might have known what they were buying with A&M and Mizzou? Hell Mizzou's BB team alone doubles the prestige of the SEC, 
On a serious note, our volleyball team is undefeated at 31-0, bet you didn't see that coming!

Idk if the addition of Mizzou really did a whole lot. They're averaging 3.5 SEC wins a season and are definitely not in the Southeast.
They better hope their football program can hang on to what little success they're having right now because they literally add nothing else.

Best additions in the expansion rush.
B1G's Nebraska grab looked great initially but NU is going to nose dive into Minnesota/Illinois status and the Rutgers/UMD adds were only about money and don't bring much else to the table.
PAC 12 moves were meh.
ACC and Big XII were purely reactionary.

Big 12 adds were terrible, WVU and TCU? Ouch

Funny how they claimed they were arguably better post realignment. Doesn't look that way at all now. If I'm a big WVU donor/fan I'd be pissed right now having watched the ACC take Louisville.

And they can lay that right at bevo's hooves. The whole mess, really. Texas overplayed their hand, and we called the bluff. And we are SO happy we did, things couldn't have worked out any better.

Glad to be here was pissed when it didn't happen the first time. I hope we can continue our success in all sports and continue to help build the best athletic conference in the world.

This is really the story in a nutshell. They did NOT think A&M would walk, nor did they think Mizzou would go to the SEC.
Master stroke by the administrations in Aggieland and CoMo

Guess who has never gone 0-8 in the SEC? Ya Mizzou, guess whose done it twice in the last 10 years, OLLLLLEEEE MISSSSS.

Dude, the Gamecocks have won 3.55 SEC games/season since joining twenty years ago.
Maybe wipe your arse before you talk shite.

I've heard it's not good to keep the butt plug in all the time..

This is probably true. Nebraska is a great get for the B1G, but Utah and Colorado are bottom feeders in the Pac 12.
Of all of the realignment BS, the SEC got the best end of the deal.
