Most SEC fans cannot relate to the old SWC. Just about every team was within a 2 to 8 hour drive from each other.

Perhaps Auburn/Bama fans and maybe Miss St and Ole Miss fans can relate to the old SWC the most... because these guys work with each other. I'm sure in an office situation in Mobile there are Bama fans and Auburn fans walking the same halls, taling over coffee, etc...

Imagine in Houston, Dallas, Ft. Worth, etc.. working at a place with lots of UT, A&M, SMU, Arkansas, TCU etc.. fans. You see and interact with these people every single day, sometimes all day.

This is why as Ags we see the comments about us "moving on" from Texas as so comical. On a daily basis we work with, we all call on customers that support both schools, live next door to, attend Rockets/ Texans/ Astros games with, kids play together, people call in on sports radio, newspapers are split, local TV covers both, etc.. etc.. etc.. it is impossible simply "move on" and to suggest otherwise is asinine.

Most people in the SEC have idea how intertwined our fan bases are. I don't mean just A&M and Texas, I also mean other schools still in Big 12 as well. LSU & Arkansas fans in Houston, Dallas, and SE Texas understand it the best.

You think you have a rivalry? Try living next door and working with those rivalries every day of your life. LSU and Bama fans don't do this so you will never truly understand.

This is why the old SWC was pretty unique and I do miss that.
