I just added an ETA: they are outside of Michigan Stadium. So that explains the lack of crowd (OSU-UM tomorrow).

This is the interesting part to me.
Since joining the SEC, A&M has had only 1 season (the Johnny Manziel year) with more than 8 wins in the regular season, and have had 7 wins twice (and are staring at a 3rd).
Obviously, the SEC is the better conference. But, it seems to me that A&M would have been a lot more successful in the Big 12.
It really seems like A&M fans are very satisfied being little brother in a conference, as long as big brother isn't Texas.

What I can't believe is why Fox Sports believes they need 6 people on their Pre-game show to talk about the game.

Their production is terrible

its early. You don’t just come right out and win the conference. Can you imagine the outcry from LSU fans if that would have occurred?

It has worked out great for us.
Our winning percentage is better in the SEC than the Big 12
This is kind of a crazy take.
A&M probably plays for the NC in 2012, and certainly would have fared better since.

I disagree. They are competing with ESPN GameDay and their cast of a dozen or so. GameDay has gotten stale, since moving to a three hour show. Much better wen it was 90 minutes.

Wow, thanks for letting me know what scumbag Urban Meyer thinks about our program. How will I sleep now knowing he doesn’t like our move to the SEC?
As has already been said, we put our own interests first, same as any smart college football program would, and made a decision.
We initially tried to schedule them the first few years of our move into the SEC and they weren’t interested, so I don’t know why all the sports personalities like to make it out that it’s A&M’s fault. Oh wait, yes I do, it’s because most of them are morons and don’t know what they’re talking about, and are hired to make controversial takes so that people talk about it.

I think it would be cool if Texas and A&M still played the last week of the season. Similar to the way the East schools play their OOC rival games that week.
But at this point, there is no reason for A&M to do that favor to Texas.
If they wanted to, it could allow Arkansas and LSU to go back to the Friday game (which I liked, but a lot of people didn't). And then Mizzou could pick up either Illinois or Kansas for the last week (if either of those schools would be amenable to it).
All of that is improbable, bordering on impossible, but it would add P5 OOC games to 2 more schools in the conference.

Yeah, it’s crazy Aggie prefers the big stage/big money/big status playing against LSU, Bama, Auburn etc when they could be playing on regional Fox sports network in venues like Lubbock, Manhattan , Lawrence etc. So crazy.

Have you ever heard someone say, “I can’t wait to get to Ames, Iowa!!!”?

Texas so darn mean to the hayseed snowflakes.

We didn't end it. Deloss Dodds did.
We said "anyplace, anywhere, anytime."
They have attempted to have other BDF teams boycott us.
We had to move on and schedule future opponents. We have....for the next 10 years.
Urban must be having another one of his mysterious headaches.

We also haven’t had a losing season, we have seen our recruiting improve immensely, our revenues are through the roof and we get to play the best home schedule of any team in the state.
We are coming out on top. Your problem is you didn’t pay attention to the Big 12 A&M so you didn’t know how bad that program was.

Now that I saw the whole panel, what a collection of football experts...Leinhart, Quinn, Bush, Urban and Charles Woodson.
I’d rather watch a panel of our friendly LSU overlords.

The people who have Texas A&M tickets are very happy.
Screw urban and matt.
They can go watch the shitshow of longhorns versus texas tech.
