Hard to believe it's been 25 years. I remember the day it was announced like yesterday. Most SCAR fans can remember exactly what we were doing and where we were the day we heard it was official ... much like the day both Kennedys were killed, the day we left the ACC, the day the Challenger exploded, the day Reagan was elected, the day we heard President Reagan had passed away, the day our children were born, the day our first grandchild was born, etc. All memorable days.

That is how it was for me.

Hell in 2010 I actually popped a cork when it looked like we would go to the SEC alone and Texas/OU was going to the PAC. Then a few days later it turns out the Big 12 is staying together and we were stuck. I felt terrible, like I jinxed it.

It was such a relief when we finally left the next year. I would have hated waiting another 20 years or something.

I was fricking happy as frick and started yelling my lungs out in the middle of the Baylor dorm lobby when I saw Colorado made it official (dont ask why I was at Baylor

, just know it was sweet tasting those Baylor tears up close ...they knew they had nowhere to go). I was happy the dominoes were finally falling. By the time I made it back to College Station the week after, I was madder then hell when Loftin put out this statement...

quote:
"Texas A&M is a proud member of the Big 12 Conference and will continue to be affiliated with the conference in the future,"

But the fall of 2011? Now that was a great time to be an Aggie. The Baylor lawsuit, Waco billboard, and then shredding Baylor's legal threats was a magical month. "Don't Mess With Texas Football" they claimed

. I think that was the only time I (along with the majority of other Aggies) ever really hated Baylor. They tried to save their honey pit that they never deserved, haven't deserved, and will never deserve.
