re: Non LSU fans, do y’all honestly enjoy having A&M in the SEC?

ATm was like the auburn of the big 12.

Incredibly insulting to Auburn who has multiple top four finishes in major sports in the postwar era. A&M has... Johnny Manziel's Heisman. A&M had one Big 12 title in football, 1998; Auburn has three SEC titles since then

We are 8-1 against them since they joined. 1 loss coming with a lot of unlikely shite to go their way plus 7 OT’s. How does that translate? I want tougher games that move the needle. Nobody outside of the direct A&M bubble gives two shits about them.

Texas has fans across the entire state and country many that have no affiliation with the university. Same goes for OU but on a much smaller scale obviously.

If you only watch the games on tv you could make the argument tu would be as good or a better fit. If you ever visit both stadiums you’d instantly realize who belongs in the SEC.

Texas doesn't want to be in a conference where they can't be kingpin. So definitely 'no' for fitting in the SEC

This thread isn’t going the way OP hoped.

You would rather have added schools from states with a combined population that’s a third what it is from Tex/Mizz? It’s all about eyeballs and money...and the SEC hit it out of the park in the 2012 expansion.

Oklahoma would have been a better addition. Much more storied team with cache. Aggy has been trying to find their fit since they were allowed in.

I live in Houston and nothing about the state of Texas says SEC. Arkansas is a better fit culturally.

Been to the Aggy campus for basketball and football games. Peeps are friendly and the campus is nice. There is a definitive , easily discernable difference between Longhorn and Aggy. I'm not an Austin Tx fan. Somehow college football is better when Aggy and UT are in the same conference. Right now UT is in nowhereville regarding their conference. It's kind of like USC and the Pac conference.

I think Aggy in the SEC is what it would be like if Florida went to the ACC. It would feel disjointed.

They were the miss. State of the SWC. Not really a headline grabber but they would jump up and bite you if you weren't paying attn. Kind of like Houston as a city, you dont really get excited about going there, and there's not as much to do as other cities with similar populations. Texas would have been the better program to get honestly but the aggys were a nice conciliation prize to get our foot in the state

It's as if they only have an issue with that 1 school.

This is true. But like I said, if we’re being hypothetical where money doesn’t matter. Let’s also say they aren’t so hard headed. They honestly should be independent like ND.
