There is an ongoing discussion on the Texas sites that they need to join the SEC.


So, what Texas site are you visiting? How many fans are discussing?

I'm pretty sure that I have contact with a lot more Texas fans than you and the general consensus is that the SEC is not a good fit for UT.

But Texas fans do agree that it was a good fit for A&M and we were glad to see you go. Aggies interpreted this as fear, like they had dominated Texas or something. No, it was like watching your obnoxious neighbors pack up their stuff and drive away. You were damn glad to be rid of them. There will be no more midnight yell practice in Austin and there will no longer be a parade of brown shirts on Congress Ave on game day.

So why have you good SEC folk allowed aggy to control the message over here? If SEC is nirvanna-land for college sports, why the need to constantly inject Texas in your conversation. I understand Aggies doing it - they will be looking over their shoulders for the next 20 years wondering about "tu".

But Texas is never going to be a member of the SEC so forget it.

I think that realistically at least 3 members would be dead-set against it, if not more. You aren't going to get the schools that have dealt with Texas in the past to sign on with them now.

You were so glad to be rid of us that your AD muscled Ken Starr into suing the university on your behalf to keep us in the Big XII.

And nobody thinks Texas was "scared" of our move when we made it. Even most Aggies thought we'd suck for a while. What we're saying is your AD is DEFINITELY scared now. Since we beat Alabama, Sumlin is 7-2 in head to head recruiting battles against Texas. Texas lost FIVE commits to SEC schools this year.

If you arent scared at this point then you're turning a blind eye to the reality of the situation. We're another year of A&M succes/Texas failure away from supplanting you as the top ticket in Texas. This is the mid-80s all over again, only this time there is absolutely NOTHING you can do about it other than hope we fall on our face.
