What are you talking about with this "wouldn't come without A&M" business? They flat WOULD NOT COME. A&M was dying to go. Why would UTw join the SEC? As you saw last night and as we saw time and time again, several Big XII officiating crews are straight-up-straight-out Texas fans. They enjoy and unheard of advantage in any close game in that it'll be given to them.

Agreed. The advantage we joke about Bama having in the SEC Texas actually HAS in the Big #=(whateveritcurrentlyis). The fricking we got in 2009 at Florida was a near annual event for at least one team on Texas's schedule often with Texas on the road.

I'm glad you guys are in the conference now, just wish we would have added OSU instead of Missouri and moved Auburn to the East. Oh well, their threads trying to convince us how they fit in have gotten more entertaining than they were a year ago.

Yup. The old OU commissioner was on Austin talk radio the other day and said the Big 12 almost didn't happen because Texas wanted to go West. Politics made that conference. That is part of the reason it sucks.
