FOOTBALL supersedes all this but by some people's reactions you'd feel they are getting a less than par football program, obviously it would be foolish to think this is true

The only people who don’t think this are Texas fans and people at ESPN trying to create relevancy through sheer force of will

I think it was difficult for Texas to find a true fit to escape a conference we couldn't stand any longer.

why couldnt you stand it? you bullied and shaped it into exactly what you wanted it to be, and you still sucked in it since saban broke you guys in 09.

Two things : every SEC stadium / team will bury your thin skinned team with "down horns". Too, you need to understand that your former little brother has attached itself to bama & sucks that elephant teat every chance it gets here. Don't take it personal, bama's kinda at a loss on how to respond.

We don't claim the gomers. No horns care about the horns down, that is media fed. The bigger story here is the horns down has a well documented history of burning teams in the arse when premature. But let the hate flow through you.

Hey all, new to board, Texas fan. I want to be respectful but of course welcome friendly banter and smack talk as well. I am excited for the transition if it sticks. I want to highlight on a few things - I think it was difficult for Texas to find a true fit to escape a conference we couldn't stand any longer. If the PAC and B1G were better cultural and academic fits (yes this is important although I will acknowledge $$$ is king) their is either the flaw of a horrible football culture in the PAC or outside the geographical footprint of the B1G. SEC still makes more sense overall.

Do I think we are going to come in and dominate initially? Of course not. It is hard to guess anything as we've gone through a nightmare of a coaching carousel lately. Almost every blue blood through its time has gone through ebb and flows. Is football king and dictates realignment and decisions more than anything? Absolutely. Even if we are not filling up a trophy case with SEC football hardware for a few years, it feels like to me that people feel there is no upside in acquiring Texas. This is what confuses me a little. Baseball is second fiddle but a huge deal to the SEC...obviously our clout and prestige plays second to nobody in the SEC with the only other arguable program being LSU. I am not sure our athletic program has a program that is not top 15-20, unless one escapes me.

Baseball - top 5? - came close to making CWS finals
Basketball - preseason top 5 with Beard working magic in the offseason
WBB - with Schaeffer future is immensely bright...softball up and coming, 3 national championships this spring alone with women's tennis, rowing and swimming and diving, runner up in volleyball on and on. Again, FOOTBALL supersedes all this but by some people's reactions you'd feel they are getting a less than par football program, obviously it would be foolish to think this is true. In short, just makes me wonder why some would say most valuable brand in athletics, best athletic program (just won Director's cup) - no thank you. This isn't meant to boast as these are basically factual statements. If you think Texas presents an issue in terms of trying to run things within the conference, being controlling, then I guess that is something that I wouldn't know how to address...I'm not really acknowledging that or not. If you are reading this and thinking this guy is self absorbed and epitomizes Texas, you aren't reading it the way I intended it. Real questions, I'm here for the hate or honest rebuttal. If you hate Texas and don't want them accepting to the conference, fine. I just can't understand the logic of they don't make sense for us because they are inferior...to me this just presents itself as an emotional retort and ignoring performance on the field.
50 national championships.

Just glad to have almost every game with a rabid atmosphere, massive football stadiums and atmospheres, etc. I could go on for paragraphs but I'll just leave it at this.

I'm seriously thinking about starting a GoFundMe page to keep Texas out of the SEC....

Texas would be wise to look elsewhere. That being said, I have no problem with Texas coming to the SEC. If this happens, it will take less than a decade for Texas to be looked at in the same light as MST, OleM, Ken, etc. Careful what you ask for. This will be the death of Texas football. Texas hasn’t been relevant, nationally, for some time now and they’ve played in a weak conference. What do you think will happen in the SEC? It won’t be “Beat OK and we’ll have a shot at the playoffs”. I think the top HALF of the SEC can beat Texas, right now. This is a mistake for Texas but will be good entertainment for us SEC fans.

Worked out pretty well I think. When I went to Austin in 2019 I’ve never seen a group of people get more offended by something so simple before so I don’t know what you are talking about. But keep believing that if it makes you feel better

He pointedly didn’t mention us, but gave the LSU dick a little test lick there to try and gauge if tigers would be friendly.

We are notorious for not being friendly to anybody. But, the OG sec brethren have come together to tell Tejas to eat a bag of dicks.

OMG… a microcosm of the Texas universe, completely captured by one flaming azzhole.

Tell me steer-lad … re-read your shite - do you really not see what a tone-deaf, egomaniacal, clueless, cringing obtuse pig (no insult to ARKs) you come across as?

Good god boy… take a trip outside of Texas once in your life. There is a surprisingly big world out there.

Did not read. Go frick yourself.
