A decade ago, Texas mocked and ridiculed Texas A&M’s move to the Southeastern Conference, a seismic shift in the college football landscape that eventually kicked off the seismic shift of last week. The impending move of Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC is all about the game plan laid down by the Aggies, even if the Horns and Sooners can’t admit it.

You now need the SEC more than the SEC needs you. Sure, no conference is going to turn down two programs with the financial and cultural footprints of Texas and Oklahoma. In the never-ending arms race of TV money, influence, and playoff positioning, adding those two behemoths makes all the sense in the coming age of super conferences.


But the SEC didn’t need to make this move. It’s the Big Boy on the Block without UT and OU. What gets lost is the Big 12 defectors needed the move in order to stay relevant in what’s to come in Big Boy college football.

A&M (and Mizzou) were right.

Texas moving to the SEC has absolutely nothing to do with aggy. And everything to do with money.

I’m proud of how my university has handled the Mickey Mousification of CFB.

You need us. You need our conference. You failed without us.

No, you’ve just ridiculed the move for years, and now you’re doing exactly what we had the foresight to do a decade ago.

Little bro, my arse.

You were wrong about their move to the SEC. Can you admit that?

If it was really about the money yall would have waited until the Big 12 GOR had a cheaper buyout to make the move.

Yall are just sick of being behind.

Yeah bullshite.

The reason you need to go elsewhere for money is because your school ran off many of the teams in good markets like A&M, Nebraska, Colorado and Missouri.

You were forced to take in a couple of G5 teams that added no new market value like TCU and WVU(who was rejected by the SEC prior to them going to the Big12).

And still you stupid frickers can't see the truth.

Whatever you have to tell yourselves, lil bros. We knew you'd be tagging along, as usual

I have eight younger siblings. They all acted exactly like y'all as children.

Keep telling yourself that, if it makes you feel better, while you follow us around.

Oh they can see it, but to admit they were wrong would go against one of their core values.

There is the problem, you are a Texas grad.

Yall aren't the problem, its that army of tshirt fans who graduated from UT branch schools and San Marcos who love to ape the Longhorn arrogant bullshite because their lives are so shitty.

Usually that is the way it goes in college football (the SEC calls them sidewalk fans), but when the university is putting its hat in its hand to approach the SEC for a spot all the tshirt hubris isn't a good look.

They can never admit it. Never. Their arrogance won’t allow it.

That’s true, the SEC didn’t “need” to make this move, but if it didn’t, then the Big 10 would become the top conference when it inevitably added Texas and OU.
