Are you pleased with the SEC Expansion adding Mizzou & A&M?

We are halfway into the 2012 season and we are seeing more A&M and Mizzou football than we ever have. I think both schools were great additions and seem to be happy with being apart of the SEC.
So hear are my questions:
1) First to Mizzou and A&M Fans, what are your thoughts with being in the SEC so far? Are there any differences you notice from SEC fans compared to Big 12 fans?
2) How do the original SEC 12 schools feel about A&M and Mizzou and their fans? Do you have any personal stories to share from interacting with fans from either school?
3) Has traveling to the 2 new schools been a pleasurable experience? If so, how? Have there been any special greetings?
4) For Mizzou and A&M fans, how has travel been to SEC schools so far? Any special greetings?
5) Was adding both schools good for the SEC fan base? We know its good for increased revenues.
6) Should we add another 2 schools soon to get our expansion to 16?
Any other comments?

16 will happen whether we like it or not. Personally, I'm sick and tired of the expansion and "super conference" bullshite but it is gonna happen within the next 5 years. I have absolutely no idea who it will be and any speculation on my part is an uneducated guess.
As far as on the field, A&M has a ton of potential. They are situated in the best state for high school recruiting, and they can sell Texas kids on playing in the SEC. Their fanbase gets picked on a lot, but they definitely love their team and their stadium is SEC material.
Missouri doesn't have the same built in advantages. Pinkel will need to tweak his offensive philosophy to make it not so dependent on the QB run, which is what made it successful in the Big 12 with Franklin and Brad Smith. Even when Chase Daniel and Blaine Gabbert running the show, they still had no inside running game. They need several years of recruiting and an overhaul of what they want to do on offense.

Careful what you wish for. If you think A&M fans have been mouthy. Mizzou fans have quieted down but they were mouthy too before the season.
Clemson and FSU? Oh my god the Rant would get terminal cancer.

They're midwestern/northern and were a terrible addition.

Nothing to do with fans, wished we could have added those two the last time.

No you don't.

I can't speak for every Aggie, but I LOVE being in the SEC. We are getting more publicity every week and every game as been on TV. That is a HUGE improvement from what we are used to. Just a few years ago, we had conference games that were not picked up on TV. The exposure we are getting is great.
I have only been to the UF and LSU games, but I was very impressed with how well the fans traveled to College Station. MUCH better than many Big 12 schools. Waco is only 90 miles away from CS, and Baylor usually only brought 2-4 thousand fans to the games in College Station. Same with Texas Tech, OSU, etc. UF and LSU easily tripled that number.
We have lost two games this year, but I believe we are heading in the right direction and am very excited about what is ahead.

I think the SEC schools minus Mizzou are full of inbred racist hicks with a collective IQ of 50.

A&M is a better school than Mizzouri, dicknose. Nice try.

Virginia Tech and NC State are my best guesses.

It's not about the team, it's the TV market....

I really don't know. I have heard that VT might be a good addition, but they are politically tied to UVA. We would have to take both. FSU would be good, but I don't think UF wants that and they might get the rest of the SEC to vote against it. Same probably goes with Clemson since USC would probably veto that.

You're funny. I like your style.Posted on 10/23/12 at 8:45 am to Gradual_Stroke
Dammit, hold on...yes I do. I really like TexA&M but you guys are in great area loaded with good teams and should be in a conference there. I am not for the global conferences, no offense intended.
