re: Texas being shitty hosts

So, you guys are finally seeing the real texas university?

Is it too late to say "I told your so"?

Wait until you see their personal valet OU.

I had no idea Texas was this bitch made. They will be dominated by A&M and Arkansas for years to come.
Texas will be playing an Alabama team at full strength. Death Star fully operational. Good luck

SEC teams are now only understanding exactly what texas is and what they bring. They are an embarassment to southern hospitality and truthfulness.

This isnt the 1st time and will not be the last. They will go to ANY extreme to game the system and take control.

Luckily they will have a very small voice as a SEC member.

Meh, this doesn't sound that egregious. The "Million Dollar Band" isn't even a notable SEC marching band, and plenty of schools put bands in undesirable spots.

But Texas is irrelevant. Their fanbase is corporate and plastic, their stadium sucks, their school is too big and unwieldy to have any major cultural influence on the SEC. They're a high end commuter school by any reasonable metric. They'll find they're an afterthought post-SEC just as they were in CFB before the move.

Odd. We put our opponents bands on the first deck in the southern end zone.

It is obvious most fans on here do not travel. Visiting teams will always have the worst seats. Especially since the divisions were formed.
The lower seating has been marketed for home season ticket sales by all the schools.
If you travel to away games it's a bitch sitting in nose bleed. It is not just SEC. Last year at Penn State the visitors are in the upper deck.

Sure, if you are low on you school's pecking order for distributing tickets, you're going to be relegated to the nosebleed seats even at SEC venues. But, unlike the Big XII and Big Ten (and probably the ACC and Pac-12), SEC rules require the home team to offer at least 1500 tickets in the lower deck. OU and Texas will have to make some changes (either shifting some season ticket holders or displacing some students) in order to meet this requirement.

Although that is the only written rule on visitor allotments, by custom, SEC schools have exchanged a lot more than the 1500 minimum. With less fans traveling nowadays, you don't see schools exchanging 8000 tickets as used to happen for some rivalries even a decade ago, but I think everyone will expect OU and Texas to come up with 5000-6000 seats for the visitors if they request that many.

SWC was the most ruthless conference

You could still be in that shitty conference right now if you hadn’t fricked that one and your current one up

Section 130 & 131. Mostly for the band and support staff. The rest are nose bleed.

If I remember this, along with moving the student section, was one of the things A&M had to change when they moved to the SEC.

The SEC has pretty specific rules on how many seats have to be in the lower bowl and total visitor ticket allotment. Other conferences don't.

Enough of us travel to know that for some schools, the allotment can be meaningless. Check out all the red in every section of this clip from Neyland. Georgia fans also took over South Bend.
