They've provided solid competition and done very well. Won't be long before they surpass the Flagship as far as fitting in and representing the SEC well.

But look at what the Jones's are doing. How would you like be asked to rate the addition of Rutgers and Maryland in your conference.


This^^

With the way the the teams are playing and the way the fan bases are fitting in I'd give it a solid 10. Hell y'all guys from Yankee land are even OK.

Solid 10. The conference added two very competitive athletic programs with huge fan bases and giant TV markets.

Equally important, IMO, the SECU got two impressive academic institutions. This will help tremendously in the effort to compete for grant monies, which make athletics revenue seem like chump change.

Solid 8

The two noobs are going to work-out just fine - although NC St and Va Tech or NC St and A&M might have been better, it's going to be okay with Mizzou.

Now, we've still got to beat the yankee out of the mizzerites, but eventually they'll acquiesce and come around to the light, the good side, and give-up their scum bag white trash yankee ways.

I'm honestly pretty neutral about A&M and Mizzou.

I would have preferred a 12-team format to remain, but just because that's all I've ever known. The league seems too large still. I'll get used to it.

If we had to take on two teams, the SEC could have done a lot worse. So I think y'all were good additions.

Its nice to have other teams west of the big rivah.
