Voting “no” to the addition of Texas is within their rights as an SEC member school and could be done professionally and with pride (there are, after all, practical reasons someone would vote No). However, TAM looks downright scared of Texas. Scared of recruiting, scared of playing them, scared of everything. They have even stooped to an emergency meeting to talk about options, including, in a thinly veiled threat, leaving the conference.

If the merger happens and TAM stays, how do they ever defend their actions and try to save face. Their fans have got to be humiliated right now.

Texas thinks we are celebrating them. They have no idea we don’t give a crap and Oklahoma is the prize.

Not sure why Texas would leave the conference where they are revered to join one where they are a meh.

I am by no means taking up for aTm but nobody is scared of Texas. They just want to feel they’re part of the elite and would like to see Texas remain in an irrelevant conference.

Sure they are. aTm is THE SEC school in Texas. Once UT is in, aTm is again the little brother in the same conference.

I am not scared of Texas, but don't want them in the SEC either.

I really rather not deal with a second Texas fan base. I just don't care to see them anymore than I have to.

Seems like big brother is no longer relevant enough to carry a conference and wants in on what A&M realized years ago. Texas is pompous. I wish SEC would take Oklahoma and another school other than UT.

Obviously money, but I sort of don't get it either. Why make their chances at a natty even more difficult?

You answered your own question. Money. If Texas and OU had any viable option to stay in the Big XII they would. It simply was not going to pay enough in the long run and they were going to get left behind by other, better, wealthier conferences (the gap is only going to get bigger).

UT will definitely impact A&M recruiting. Two SEC schools in Texas is pretty damn huge.

I mean I get their point.

The problem they don’t realize is that Texas is more valuable by a mile. We aren’t losing Texas for Aggie.

Maybe Aggies have more insight and perspective than the rest of us born from years of experience with Texas.

I agree with you. A lot of folks on here are seeing aggies post stuff like that and in typical SECRant fashion, piling on about whining and being scared.

I heard from friends in the big12 all about the aggies before they joined the SEC. Every bit as weird as they were made out to be.


Im sure Texas is just as stuffy, faux high-brow, as they are made out to be.

You idiots have no idea about Texas - you will learn. As for what A&M will do, I have no idea? I just donate to the school. Only thing I know is I am very much looking forward to football this Fall.

It may be the last season I do so
