And this will last how long until the next bean counters decide there's more $$$$ to be made adding schools several thousand miles away.

I can not stand Weido U in College Station and there is no rivalry with them, esp. in baseball. Playing them is like being forced to visit that creepy older family member once a year!

Not a big fan of the SEC trying to force football rivalries into the equation. Baseball is a different sport with different rivalries.

There are no perennial doormats in this conference.

Poor eATMe they get the 2 powers every year with 13 titles between them. Better have that 10th man ready, you know like they do/or used to do in softball LMFAO!!!!!!!!

I still can't believe we've added Texas to this conference. It will eventually be the downfall of the whole fricking thing.

Glad we keep MSU. I would've preferred Arkansas over A&M. Or Texas. All the championships between Texas and LSU is a fun storyline

Really thought we would be paired with both MS schools. Oh well...

When these pairings are geographical, someone gets fricked, every damn time.

They really want to force Texas 5 and 7 down our throats.

On the one hand, we've played 5&7 more often than five of the other OG SEC teams. On the other hand, Aggies are some of the most annoying people on the planet.
