The SEC ceased to exist in 2012 when Mizzou and A&M joined. Now it's just a whored-out money grab. Texas being part of the shite-show will only perpetuate the mess.
I wonder if you felt that way when CBS and ESPN were turning every football game into an SEC infomercial, creating the 'join up or die slow' situation that forced Texas and OU into this move. Because what it really looks like is the SEC and ESPN running a long game with the goal of creating a college football version of the Premier League.

Texas’s vote within the SEC will cancel ATM’

Yeah, just like TAMU will never allow Texas into the SEC. Don't delude yourself. They'll agree on everything.

A winless SMU on their death penalty and the best ever . . . USL!

Also, you’re saying that not one single Texas graduate cares about longhorn sports, while also stating that nobody would ever cheer for A&M unless they went there?
Because the former would be incorrect, and the latter would be kind of an embarrassing thing to admit

No concern here. The move alone shows the dildo gang's impotence when it comes to throwing their weight around like in the past SWC and Big 12 days. They will enhance the SEC's brand and level of competition even more, and along with the land thieves, they will provide more balance overall from the western footprint of the conference to offset all the traditional powers in the eastern footprint.

Texas already ruined two conferences. Y’all bought them and are already having buyer’s remorse.
Enjoy the drama they’ll undoubtedly bring.

That comment dates to 2012-2013, the only conference championship y’all competed in was 2018, so nice math. Congrats on the win though (not), conference game berths are always the barometer of success, people will definitely remember who came in second place 5, 10, and more years down the road.
Oh and go ahead and comeback with some historical series records, we are having fun talking (and enjoying your embarrassment) of the last decade or so. But again, keep deflecting, it’s about all you can do.

Texas will be a positive addition. And no matter what, they won’t embarrass the SEC like AM just did with their demand that Saban be suspended a game

I don't know if Texas will behave, but I have little concern that the SEC can handle them if need be.
Several SEC programs have a lot of power; Florida and Alabama could have tried in the past to exert and push to get things to benefit them. Florida is strong across all sports and has a lot of money behind them, Alabama has a huge amount of prestige in the biggest field (football).
Both schools have behaved professionally and with restraint.
Nobody has been hamstrung, nobody has been cut out of the pot or given a bigger chunk then others. It's been a true joint venture on the part of all schools, that indicates they understand the "SEC" on the jersey is as important as the school name. That irritating SEC chant, it started before other conferences did similar, and it seems like everyone has bought in. Seems like A&M and Mizzou have, too.

You want in you play by our rules. Absolutely no concessions until you prove your a good partner. That’s never going to happen so just stay in the little 12

We coming to fix yer conference! No worries.

There is no “we” for tu and ou. I agree with the sentiment but you don’t have a vote. HORN’S DOWN

quote:When Texas played Baylor at the end of the regular season in 2013, it was the de facto conference championship game, as one didn't exist for the Big 12 that particular season, and the winner would have the stand alone best record. So yes, my math was correct, and your aggie education (expectedly) let you down again.

Texas had the same amount of 10-win seasons as a&m did
Texas had the same amount of NY6 bowl games/wins as a&m did
Texas played for 2 more conference championships than a&m did.
If you're laughing at us, then I've got some unfortunate news about what people think of Texas a&m's football program...

Incorrect. I would say A&M’s best decade was from 1989 to 1999. But you weren’t born then and it doesn’t fit your narrative so I can see why you chose hyperbole over facts.

Yet you keep deflecting from the (self proclaimed) single worst decade in your football history. Why didn’t you include texas’ 5 losing seasons since 2010 in your cherry picked stats?
While it was not A&M’s best decade all time (in terms of conference championships), it was definitely not what the sips “accomplished”.

What makes you think it is going to get any better? It declined again last year.

Texas also had more losing seasons. A&M has not had any losing seasons since we left the Big 12.

So was it a NCAA recognized Conference championship game or not? My poor aggie math seems to be a lot better than your pitiful ut one. A conference championship game is a conference championship game, nothing else. You played in 1, not 2 championship games.
Spin, deflect, cherry pick, keep on going. This is hilarious how delusional you are.
I can’t wait to see what excuse you come up with next. All because you didn’t like a comment that pointed out mizzou has been better the last 9 years instead of y’all after your AD ran his big mouth.
