re: The SEC should of chosen University of Texas not A&M

Bassackwards OP.

Aggies chose the SEC over the Big Ten, ACC, Pac 12.

Aggies could have an invitation to join any of those conferences next week if we wanted one.

Tap the brakes, chief.

We carried some TV sets, but I won't go so far as to say we could go next week, or even next year. No school has that much power, even if they think they do.

(See the fricking longhorns' rejection letters from Pac and ACC.)


Don't be like those arrogant frickers.

A lot of things had to fall into place for A&M to make the move to the SEC. One very important factor was the fricking longhorns' inability to control their unjustified hubris. Their strategy to get us to stay in the Big Twatever was straight out of the 100-year-old burnt orange playbook. They whipped out the ridicule and practically dared us to go to the SEC, hoping we would get scared and rethink it, like we had done for 100 years.

They just HAD to ridicule A&M by saying that Aggy sucks anyway, and they could replace A&M with lowly U of H. Our usual sensitive Aggy response was to get into an argument about how we are better than U of H, etc. (Stupid Aggy Response).

But our leadership FINALLY learned to be cool-headed and use the burnt orange playbook against them. We said, "yep, U of H would be a great replacement. See. We're not destroying the conference. There are replacements ready to step up."


Thus, longhorn hubris and ridicule has practically ruined their program. Don't be like those arse wipes.

Texas would have never been allowed to leave the Big12 by itself, thats a fact

Only aTm or Tech or Baylor would have been allowed to leave the Big12 by themself

Yep. Baylor and Tech alums in the legislature would have put all sorts of political pressure on the fricking longhorns to make it impossible to leave without taking them with.

The SWC was a shitty conference, doomed to fail because it was Texas-centric and did not hold any attention of the east coast (where all the TV people are). The only way for any program in the SWC to break onto the national scene with any real significance was to jump to a conference with eastern ties. The fricking longhorns couldn't do it because the midgets would use their political power in the leg. The only thing keeping the longhorns as the powerbroker of Texas college football was making sure every other college football program in Texas suffered the same "fly-over" conference affiliation. A&M has wanted SEC for decades, but the longhorns, coupled with Baylor and Tech, have always prevented it.

The "untouchable" attitude came after Mack Brown's success. The fricking longhorns forgot the 80s and 90s. They forgot that they needed A&M to share the same sad situation in order to maintain power and control. They forgot that as long as they kept their collective thumb on Aggy, they would be the undisputed #1 in Texas college football. By the time they remembered, A&M was already on the way out the door. By the time they woke up, it was all over but the bitching, moaning, and trying to guilt/shame A&M into staying.

Decades of longhorn dominance over Texas college football--GONE in one year.

No, I was in California and PAC 12 people were very happy when there was talk of us joining.

We are an AAU school located between the recruiting areas of DFW and Houston.

We could pick any conference we want, we don't have a lhn to screw with.

Please. Just stop.
