For all the boomers, is this how you felt when SC/ARK joined?

I’m 33 for reference so I was only 4 when we became SEC.
Edit: I was personally excited when A&M and Mizzou joined but I don’t feel nearly the same this go around.

There can't be any comparison. No fear overcame any SEC team when SC and Arkansas joined.

Yes the only difference is that the dozen retarded fans that Arkansas and South Carolina have weren't able to jump on the internet and act like idiots back in the day.
Sorry for using the r word.

For the record not scared of Texas and Oklahoma I’m more concerned with what this means for college football as a whole. Same with the NIL stuff.

I did not want expansion both times because I am a traditionalist. In this instance I just hate Texas.

Kindof a weird thing to say.
We joined the SEC in 1992. We won the SWC in 1988 and 1989 going 10-2 (7-0) and 10-2 (7-1) those years. We played in the SECC game in 1995.
Remind me again the last time Texas won the Big 12?
We were really good at basketball as well when we joined. Final 4 in 1990 (won NC in 1994 and runner up 1995).
Remind me the last time Texas won a basketball NC or was in the final 4? Doesn't seem like it was in the last 15 years for any of these answers. No basketball NC and haven't been good at football since 2005.
What is there to fear again?

Care to take a guess what that one conference loss is?

Goofy hats and assless chaps. And having to travel to that hippie shithole in Austin.

Congrats on beating the SWC champ?
Again what is there to fear about a team that hasnt been good at football or basketball in 15 years?
Arkansas was good within 4 years of joining the conference in both sports.
Texas has sucked at both for 15 years (will be longer since you arent joining this year). Nobody fears the liberals in Austin

It's nice to be the forgotten generation(X).
USC was seen as a ?, but arky was seen as a blessing. We badly needed a better rival in shooty hoops.

We liked SC joining. We weren’t sure about Arky but they have become solid SEC brethren.
I remember a post on an old board giving props to South Carolina for being the first state to succeed from the country when they tried to get tyrannical. That took balls. May need that same leadership again soon.

Liked Ark and SC… liked A&M and have gotten used to Mo. But this is a move toward being NFLjr… SEC could be heading toward schedules that are pretty meaningless as far as tradition goes. If they join, who is left OOC to make fun of?

I wasn't particularly happy about SC and Arky being in the SEC when it first happened, but both teams have assimilated rather nicely.
I had mixed feelings about the addition of A&M and Mizzou. I liked the idea of having the Aggies in the conference simply because A&M and LSU had a pretty good history between them. I wasn't happy about Mizzou, however. They just didn't even come close to fitting geographically in a conference named the Southeastern Conference. The culture is also decidedly more midwestern than southern.
Then there was the issue of having 14 teams in the conference. I liked it best with ten teams. Twelve was acceptable and allowed for an SECCG to be played to determine the conference football champion. But fourteen teams feels like it's a bit too much.
I'm completely against adding two more teams to the conference no matter WHO they may be. Clemson and Florida State are two historically good teams that would fit in well geographically and culturally, but I don't even want them in the SEC. It's like we've just opened the border and started shipping in illegal immigrants from third world conferences.
(Okay... I'll admit that the last statement above was a tad bit harsh.)

Nah, you’re right. Most of Texas’ fanbase is comprised of Mexicans who never attended a university.

Basically they're the Miami of the west? And yes I realize Miami is mostly Cuban.

We were happy to get to a conference championship 12 teams. No one tried to scream and stomp like aggy is STILL doing.

Not at all. Both schools are a good cultural fit. A&M and Mizzou less so. Texas and Oklahoma not at all.
