miss the regional rivalries
I'll admit I do miss the Texas rivalry and not having a specific team on Thanksgiving, at this point. I grew up with us playing Texas either on Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving weekend, its all I've ever known. Now, being in different conferences, there's still hatred there with both sides wishing the other one ill will and going after the same recruits, but its just not the same if we aren't playing every year.
And if the pussy deloss has his way and prevents Texas from being in the Cotton Bowl if they want us both to play...

1. Fan bases in the SEC travel well and our respectful (i.e. Texas band playing over the Mizzou band at Faurot last year)
2. SEC style of play vs. Big 12 style of play
I enjoy watching the types of games mizzou had with Florida last week rather than watching a 45-42 game where no defense is being played. 90% of the big 12 teams run the spread hurry up offense which is extremely difficult for defenses to deal with. I think this will be an advantage when Mizzou gets better in the trenches, and better QB play.
3. SEC Stadiums vs Big 12 Stadiums
I'm willing to admit even in the most hostile environment in the big 12 didn't compare to what Death Valley was like on Saturday night. Please move us to the West so we can travel to play LSU and Arkansas

Anything you particularly miss about playing in the Big 12?
I miss not being able to play Baylor every year. Not so much our rivals but because they're a
perennial doormat that's just 90 miles away from College Station. Tickets to their stadium were always readily available on the cheap. Games in Waco never felt like a true road game for A&M. There's a reason why we call Baylor's stadium, "Kyle Field North."
As for SEC/Big 12 distinctions, I would say that SEC officiating is just as awful as Big 12 officiating.

Just curious about your observations from your first season in the SEC. What are some things the SEC is better at and what are things the Big 12 is better at? Anything you particularly miss about playing in the Big 12?
SEC is better at everything except having Texans to talk shite to.
Posted on 11/5/12 at 6:08 pm to TeLeFaWx
The shite talking is better in Texas, especially since were actually winning.

The regional rivalries lost most of their luster.
For instance Baylor was so dominated by A&M if you Google "Kyle Field North" it shows their stadium. We literally had half the fans when we went there.
Tech was just an annoyance. Terrible fans that vandalized our bus on our last trip and threw batteries at players. They can't sell tickets unless they have a big opponent so they jack up the price of A&M/OU/Texas but for the cost of that 1 ticket you could buy season tickets for the most part.
OU was a fun game but we really didn't have a connection with them nor with the rest of the old Big 8 teams.
Texas was the only one that mattered and that one will eventually come back anyway, just too much money on the table. It would have been much tougher if we still had Bonfire. It wasn't worth hanging around in that joke of a conference though.

I'm talking plenty of shite to my Baylor and Texas friends, but mostly because their teams blow 12" elephant dick.

The SEC venues for Mizzou this year we're much more exciting to travel to. Who wants to spend the time and money to travel to Manhattan, KS when you could be traveling to Gainsville which is an hour from Orlando, or Knoxville which is a relatively short drive. It wasn't worth making any away game trips in the big 12.

The Texas fans during and after the game were talking about how our stadium was louder than theirs. That surprised me.

It's been really funny this season hearing the shite talking from texas fans dwindle to near-nothingness throughout the season

SEC tailgating vs Big 12 tailgating
SEC teams start early and stay late and tailgating at Mizzou has improved quite a bit this year for Mizzou fans

Even their players have said that this year publicily. Hence the "sip" nickname.

I was alluding to the fact that many of your fans preseason claimed that the SEC wasn't really that much better top to bottom than the Big 12.
Please don't confuse "many" of our fans with "a few delusional idiots." Thank you!

Biggest difference is that even the teams that are down in the SEC can bite you. With the home field and a little momentum, anything can happen.
Also, the home field advantage in the SEC is more prevalent top to bottom. Only a handfull of Big 12 teams had a real home field advantage... OU and Tech were loud and it was worth some points to the home team.
Texasss had good teams but DKR was quiet and not intimidating at all. Never has been.
SEC venues and atmosphere are overall much much better from top to bottom. Only OU and Tech are even close to SEC atmosphere IMO.

The SEC is better in literally every facet. Losing the rivalry with Texas was unfortunate but everyone knows we will meet up again whether it be in a bowl game or regular season.

Texas has a very nice stadium and it is 100k, they also have a nice tailgate scene. The problem is it is a social event and is more like a pro stadium. A LOT of the tickets are owned by Austin companies or just locals since it is a good sized metro with no NFL team (no NFL in San Antonio either which is a little over an hour away). That's why they make so much money. I live in Austin and have gone to Texas games they weren't playing A&M in (wearing neutral colors). Folks show up late and leave early and you can also leave the stadium at halftime to hit the bar across the street. A lot of folks don't come back. I've never seen it really get loud even for some big A&M games outside of maybe a big play or two.
Texas is just the pro team of Austin. It's not a bad atmosphere it just isn't what you think of when you think of when you think of college football.

“I like without a doubt playing on the road better than playing at home. It’s way louder and gets me way [more excited]. No offense to our fans, but [DKR] is not loud,” Vaccaro told The Daily Texan.
Vaccaro listed his favorite places to play as Texas A&M’s Kyle Field and the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.
“Kyle Field is loud, man,” he said. “Kyle Field gets wild.”
