Separate the poll. Most wanted Oklahoma. Many don't want texas. Texas is a horrible cultural fit. Full of liberals. They belong with the Pac 12. The fans are obnoxious. They cry if you do horns down. A&M, Missouri, Nebraska, and Colorado loathe them for a reason. Worst possible conference members. The know how to manipulate a conference. They're drooling at the chance to manipulate the SEC and laugh about it. They always put down the SEC and The South. Always said they were too good for the SEC when A&M left. A&M hicks are a perfect fit for The SEC inbreeds.
The smart move would be to take Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. State has lots of Natties. Their fans are rabid. Oklahoma is going to run into lots of legal problems leaving State behind.
The best part would be giving the horns a massive middle finger by the entire SEC. Split the poll.
Don't forget that A&M brought every SEC school multi millions annually when they came on board. Do you want a few more million for cancer??? Apparently many of you do. Oklahoma yes. horns hell no!

I totally agree with this. I'm fine with Oklahoma. I think they can fit with the conference even if the geography is a bit of a stretch.

You're completely correct about the University of Texas. They have the kind of alumni and fans that look down on the SEC and think the city of Austin is the height of human evolution and progress. It really doesn't fit in well with the rest of the conference. Now that they've basically been boxed into joining the SEC because Oklahoma forced their hand, I'd rather not offer them a life raft.

I'm originally from Tennessee but live in Arizona. I've met SEC fans from other teams and there's an instant sense of camaraderie in that ultimately we have commonalities. Even with Gump fans we get this feeling that we can get along. I don't think that's there with Texas.
