re: How long till TAMU and Mizzou feel like "SEC" teams?

Mizzou and aTm will feel like SEC teams before Vandy ever does.

Don't hate on Vandy every club needs a gimp, and their probably glad it's about to be Mizzou...I still remain skeptical Mizz will beat them. and Not beating Vandy is really bottom of the barrel, as is losing to Kentucky....(sigh) as Tennessee knows all too well recently. Worse this year Vandy actually has a very good defense, that has me a bit worried..... (Vandy don't worry your not really the SEC Gimp this year, that'd be Ole Miss)

WTF, if GT came into the SEC they'd easily be in the top half. Lets keep it real.

In basketball maybe. Yeah they've done well in recent years....against ACC schools but even when Georgia was down in SEC they still manage to usually thump them. Don't get me wrong, the way we've been playing last few years they'd have thumped us....and we'd have it coming. But TN hasn't exactly been in the top half for a few years, and last year we were just fighting to do better than Ole Miss...by 1. (TY Gim....Vandy!)
Teams that WOULD beat Georgia Tech this year: BAMA, LSU, Missippi State, Georgia, Tennessee South Carolina
Teams they would be on par with Florida, Arkansas (if QB is back), T A&M
Teams they would likely win against Auburn, Ole Miss, Vandy, Kentucky, Mizzou
ACC schools can look great playing ACC, but when they walk into SEC the differences especially in defenses becomes quickly obvious. (Auburn does not count this year)

I miss Ga Tech as a Rival, Esp in Chattanooga as Atlanta is a rival in general culturally...would be lots of fun, and my dad is GT alum so I been rooting for them for a long time. I like the Jackets and wish we could see them in SEC. They have incredible heritage, and boast one of the oldest fields consistently used in the southeast. If they returned they'd get better recruits immediately, and likely would become a top half school in short order. I also would like to see Bama - Ga Tech rivalry reignited..... of all the SEC rivalries that may be one of the meanest and came to the shedding of real blood...(mention Darwin Holt among older Ga Tech fans for an instant rant).......their hatred for each other used to be just Legend. As long as they're in ACC though that will not likely be a real rivalry again, they simply cannot recruit to SEC standards there for football.

Yep that's why I just told you to post less. But in all honesty the more the merrier around here. Hopefully you won't hate us as much as an addition after a few years in the conference. We might grow on ya.

Don't get me wrong Tennessee could use all the padded wins on its schedule we can get right now, I look forward to the easy W. :D Come to Neyland...you need to see the stadium.....to be honest...you need to see all the Stadiums.....
Don't take it personally....your new, and there's a bit of a competition on who can be most hated by Mizzou first....I'm trying to get extra credit there......I figure once you make your way to Neyland we got a shot at the bet, but sooner or later you'll go to the swamp....and then well....it's just tough to compete with the Shanty Town culture of central Florida. In a competition for annoyance ....they'll win every time.
