I was fine with A&M then. Johnny Football was fun to watch. UK has no animosity towards A&M other than the fact y'all STILL haven't come to Lexington to.play us yet!

I have no issues with the fighting Aggies. Mizzou however can get the rope.

Much the same as it is towards UTa & OU.
Y’all don’t belong in the SEC & neither do they.

Since there are many non troll answers I will provide the tRant fandom of 2012.
We were OBNOXIOUS. The seemingly endless gift of so many good games on a week in seek out basis was just amazing. Every weekend seemed like an enormous bowl game with the excitement. It was intoxicating.
Sumlin wasn’t exposed just yet because he and KK had JFF doing his thing. I think the staff had no idea what JFF could do at the Florida game- it was really vanilla and we lost.
We then just ripped through the SEC with the exception of LSU- they always had JFF’s number since they could match his speed. Somewhere in there Johnny had his Heisman Moment at Alabama and it was full on insanity.
Swag and Sumlin landing helicopters at high school games. It really was ridiculous and it made for tRant to just be a party of shite talking.
The other lightly related piece on tRant was Petrino wrecking his motorcycle. It was as if Arkansas sent the tRant a never ending gift.
I think overall we’ve mellowed a great deal but those first two years with JFF were really fun. Oh yeah, it was painfully obvious that JFF and his tag alongside were wrecking shop in NCAA rules regarding money and then he got himself kicked out of a Manning football camp. He was out of control.
Lastly, Auburn horse collared JFF and for the benefit of a no call.

You were considered to be the acceptable addition in comparison to Missouri's really random selection considering the existing history with multiple SEC schools. We still thought you were weird, but were seen widely as the "better fit" of the two.
Then the new wore off.
In general, most were against the expansion entirely.
Couldn't have put it better

Question for someone on this board who likes giving straight answers...what was this board's attitude towards A&M in 2012? We were newcomers and we had yell leaders, but we had a great season: beat the #1 team in the country on the road, had the first-ever freshman Heisman trophy winner, kicked OU's tails in the Cotton Bowl. Obviously, things have devolved greatly since then (it actually made me sad to realize that that was arguably the greatest season in A&M's history post-WWII), and we are much hated. However, what was it like back in 2012/2013?
I had an issue in 2012 .... and had to change my username to scrooster that year.
I remember 2012 well because I got in trouble for calling y'all faggies back then. Y'all were fairly insecure and some of your fans were little bitches.
I've since come to like and respect y'all. You're a lot of fun. Have enjoyed my trips to college station.

I had lived in Texas since right after I graduated and left Gainesville. I was excited to be able to go and watch a game without having to get on a plane. I was really excited when I found out we played aggies in College Station in 2012. Me and several buddies went to the game and we've gone to every one each time we play you in College Station. I had always worked with a bunch of aggies, had them as neighbors, and friends at church and liked all of them. I know you guys give them hell on here, but the real life aggies are good people. But, I didn't have any experience at the actual college until our first game there. My buddies and I had a lot of fun learning about the school's history and all of their traditions. The aggies we me were all friendly and invited us to tailgates. I left after that weekend with a good opinion of the school and town. Now my oldest kid is a freshman there, so I've spent a lot more time there in the past year. My kid has thrived there this year. As parents we love it there for our kid. Great engineering school, good college town environment, conservative values are still respected, people are friendly. It is a special place.

This reminds me, with all this talk about "Texas and OU not knowing what they have coming with an SEC schedule blah blah"...consider aggy had their best season in the SEC with players Mike Sherman recruited to play in the Big12.
I realize some of that was SEC teams not being accustomed to the sort of gun-slinging regularly done in the Big 12, and Mike Evans (who bailed out Johnny 8-ball more than a few times) being the freak athlete he is, but point still stands.

Well, Texas was given the super easy JV schedule for the next two years. So, you won't know what a real sec schedule is for a few years. But, OU will understand by the end of next season.
ETA- that 2012 Aggie team had some really good players- Manziel, WR Mike Evans, and I don't know any names, but their OL was really good that year.

It was a culture shock as you people got full of yourselves right as you came in and we were reminded why there's an entire class of jokes about Texas A&M.

I was OK with TAMU back then, still am.
As TAMU was in the old SIAA, it was like getting the band back together.
For those opposed to any expansion I hear you but the SEC had lost Sewanee, Tulane, and Bumbles so the precedence for expansion was there and if the B1G needed to enter other parts of the country guess that forced the SEC's hand.

Weren't around????
It was just 12 years ago ffs. Where were you?
Most of us were happy about their quick success along with Mizzou's we also figured that they both had hit their peaks right after joining....weird how that works. I could see a similar scenario with Texas and Oklahoma joining.

I didn’t have any feelings towards A&M one way or another. Still don’t. I knew I didn’t like the additions to the conference including South Carolina and Arkansas and I didn’t like the direction the conference was going. I am honestly indifferent to the ags regarding personal feelings. I’ve never considered the ags a “threat”. Yea, you came in in 12 and beat Bama but it took one of the 5 best college qbs ever playing the best first half of any qb I’ve ever seen IN MY LIFE to do it. That day wasn’t going to be repeated very often.

TAMU is paying their way. I'm wondering why Vandy is still here. And why do they get an equal cut of football revenue as the Crimson Tide?
