re: Weirdest place you have ever watched an SEC game?

For five years I watched almost every early afternoon game at an Irish bar in Germany. Also watched the draft a few times there.

We usually mix it in to our tailgating cycle. As mentioned free beer, coke and food; it's air conditioned and you get the band coming in so the PMAC is our last stop before heading into the stadium. It's always fairly sedate not what I'd call a "party", but worth thirty minutes or so of your time.

Actually yeah they're usually a lot tougher than they were this year. If 2012 A&M played 2011 Bama or LSU the whole team would be in treatment for PTSD.

First of all - congrats on a great season. Aggie surprised everyone.
To be fair though, this season was an anomaly in the SEC. Part of what makes this conference the best is the gauntlet that is usually 3-4 highly ranked teams on your conference schedule each year. Add in another couple for OOC and/or cross divisional opponent so that by year end you've faced 5-6 ranked opponents. It would usually be incredibly difficult to not only win all of these games, but really just to stay healthy enough to field a NC caliber team.
Aggie had the benefit of coming into the SEC in a rebuilding year for Bama, a year for LSU plagued by injuries and off the field issues, and dumpster fires at Arkie and Auburn. We won't know how competitive Aggie can really be until order is restored and all of these teams are back to normal. Right now they should just count themselves lucky that they get to ease their way into the conference and only need to deal with a few NC level teams each year.
Until that happens and Aggie dominates no one will be afraid of A&M. But as cocky as their fans are, that game will probably be circled on everyone's calendar so I'm sure they'll get the best everyone has to offer next year - it might not be the usual gauntlet, but it could be a taste of what's to come.

re: Did AtM supplant LSU as the #2 program in the West in only 1 year?

aTM benefitted from joining the SEC in a down year. Auburn and Arkansas were dumpster fires, and Miss State didn't live up to potential. Old Miss played Aggie hard and nearly won that game. LSU was somewhat overlooking Aggie until the second quarter when they shut it down. Bama did pretty much the exact same thing, but unfortunately were not playing at their normal level this year and let Manziel score one time too many before making the necessary adjustments to stop the offense.
I reserve judgment on Aggie until they have to run the gauntlet for real. My gut says they'll be competitive, but they're still Aggie and will be a middle of the pack team with the occasional good run.

In Mackenbach, Germany I saw a flag hanging out of the second story window of a house.

I've been lurking for awhile, but finally had to post on this thread.
This is all hearsay, but I was talking to a kid in NO who said the QB on his high school team is being recruited by Bama and LSU. The kid is leaning towards Bama because when he visited CLM walked right by him w/no acknowledgment. CNS on the other hand took time out to talk to him, knew who he was etc.
If true really makes me wonder about our recruiting tactics. I mean isn't it part of the job to make an effort to make these kids feel wanted?
