What makes Texas so different from say, Florida or UGA?

Nothing really.
Welcome to the SEC as a new member.
These old coots will need a score card soon.

texas thinks it will come in and take over and run the conference because they are used to getting their way.
Will they adapt or leave? Stay tuned…..

Seriously? Have you been to Athens or Gainesville? While Gainesville or Baton Rouge is the closest thing to Austin, they are each just a smaller Corpus Christi without a beach. And Athens? It is a larger Nacogdoches and just as country.
Again, I enjoy visiting the SEC towns and I love visiting Austin. That said those towns, the people, the culture, the atmosphere, and the schools are not even remotely similar to UT and Austin. Its not necessarily a bad thing, but its non-debatable that they are a culturally a weird fit. At the end of the day though, its sports. Who gives a shite if they aren't. I'm looking forward to the additions.

The people and their culture. All are state universities and the place monied and connected people from the state send their children for education in state. The culture in all but about 1/3 of Texas (graciously) is vastly different than that of Florida and Georgia. Academically they are similar, culturally they ain't close. Nothing wrong with that...Texas culture, which accounts for about 66% of the state, is uniquely Texan and it is great. The fact that the culture of Florida and Georgia is nearly identical from North Carolina to 1/3 of Texas and the culture of the majority of Texas stretches from just a little east of Houston/Dallas to almost Los Angeles is the difference...
