Arkansas- love going to Fayetteville for a road game. Nice stadium, treehouse tailgating is unique, great fans who are also great hosts to visiting fans.

South Carolina- mid-level rivalry for UGA but the flagship school of a border state. Long-suffering but very loyal fanbase that supports the program come hell or high water. Good people whether hosting or visiting. Williams Brice is a nice venue that gets very loud when the Gamecocks are competing well against a top tier team. Glad they are in the SEC.

Missouri- I think they they fit in just fine. A lot of people here give them a hard time to bust their fans balls but I think that they are a tough out for a lot of the top teams in the conference most years. I have only seen us play them in Athens so can’t really make a judgement yet on Columbia. I have no reason to dislike them at this point.

Texas A&M- I really have no feeling on them. Mainly because we haven’t played them much historically except in a few bowl games. They have a nice stadium but seem to have some weird traditions that only their fans and graduates seem to think are cool. I guess you could say I am indifferent to them being in the SEC. I could take them or leave them.

Oklahoma- They will be a good addition. Historically strong program with a devoted fan base. Again, not much history between UGA and the Sooners so I will need to reserve judgment for a few years.

Texas- never met a Longhorn fan that wasn’t delusional about their place in the pecking order of college football over the past decade. And I met a lot of them when traveling to Texas once a month for almost 2 years straight in 2020 and 2021. I think they will be the noisiest and most brash of the expansion teams fan bases. Kind of like if Clemson was allowed into the SEC but x2. Don’t care for their fans over inflated perception of their program but they are a historically strong brand that I would rather have in the SEC than see in another conference. They can’t hide behind and pad their resume with shite competition anymore.
