That is about the dumbest thing I've heard honestly. A big what if scenario as a pro over a sure fire benefit of joining the SEC.
I think the " we can walk into the SEC anytime we want" is dumb too.

Yes, and I noticed how you edited it 5 minutes later to reflect mine.

Try midol. I hear it's good for PMS. Won't help a sandy vag, though. Sorry.

Initially, I laughed out loud at the 100 years a slave comment. Afterwards, I shook my head but was still smiling.

If (like a DJ) you had three versions of the song and were placing them in order to be played sequentially, you would have placed each in the "queue."

Wait, you're saying that TAMU was a member of the SEC before 1914?
Posted on 10/23/14 at 8:36 am to bobsacamano
The old Southern Conference. Its members formed the core of the current SEC. TAMU moved to a more Texas-centric conference.
SEC was not formed until 1933

Easy confusion to make but, incorrect
The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association aka SIAA was founded in the late 1800's and was the brainchild of Dr. Dudley at Vanderbilt. TAMU was a member of this conference before being talked into joining the SWC with Texas.
In the 1920's the Southern Conference aka SoCon broke off from the SIAA and is still in operation today. Many of the FCS schools the SEC still plays today are current SoCon members.
In the 1930's 13 schools broke off of the SoCon to form the Southeastern Conference aka SEC. Three schools have since departed (Sewanee, Georgia Tech, and Tulane) with the last 2 leaving in the 1960's. Four teams have been added since (Arkansas, South Carolina, Texas A&M, and Missouri) and 12 of the current members have former membership in the SIAA or SoCon.
Most of the current ACC teams can also show heritage in either the SIAA or SoCon as they truly were the 1st "superconferences" in college football. It also helps explain the inter related scheduling between the 2 conferences.

Because of the past 3 games?? You are an idiot.
Nice troll. Big 12..

Mine was intended as a very short synopsis and was thus not comprehensive.
Your explanation is more-detailed and thus better. Thx
AS an aside, the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) doesn't even seem to have been a "conference" in the modern sense. More like a "super-conference" or a mini/regional NCAA, which did not exist in anything resembling its current form until several decades later.
Also, TAMU did not "join" the SWC. It was a founding member.
