Anybody don't want Texas A&M to join

I am all for it! Live in Texas and my wife is an Aggie!
Cannot wait to play the Aggies at Kyle field. They are the most SEC-like fanbase of the former big 12.

This is something else I look forward to. I LOVE Aggie fans. They bleed burgundy. My fondest memories of watching football were shared with Aggies fans over a cooler full of Lonestar beer.

If A&M was in the SEC this year, they'd immediately be the 3rd best team. For that matter, in the past 3 years (or maybe more), they'd have beat the piss out of us in football. If you don't want expansion, that's fine, but don't pretend they can't hang. There's plenty of cons, but them being uncompetitive isn't one.

Who can beat who? We'll begin to know in 2013. As an aside, ACC put a 20 million buy out to leave conference. It would take a lot to get a Clemson or VT to leave, my guess is a Big East school.

Texas A&M, Clemson, FSU or West Virgina it don't matter to me, i'm against expanding over 12 teams...Nothing against A&M, but I hate it.

I said a&m has been better than us for 3 or more years. I'm not sure how a clip from 2005 is supposed to refute that (it is 2011). Nice try though.

There are only four SEC teams ranked higher than A&M right now and I wouldn't bet against the Aggies when it comes to USC. We will know a little more after Saturday when they have to play the Hogs. A&M has a great history and tradition and I really think they will fit right in. We may lose a few recruits to them in the short term, but this will also put the SEC in the spotlight even more in the Texas TV market, so we may end up getting more recruits from there in the long term. One big plus as far as I am concerned is it will definitely put a little bit of a damper on Texas getting all the instate kids. Some of them will want to play in the SEC. The 14th team is a huge question mark. Missouri, VTech, WVU, FSU, Clemson, USF, NC St, UNC, Maryland, UConn, etc, etc. have all been thrown out there. I know many of these have supposedly said no, but what do you expect. If they aren't sure, they have to deny, deny, deny. I don't think there is a team out there that is definitely out of the picture as far as they are concerned. Now, as for the SEC, there are some of those we wouldn't be interested in. WVU, for instance: aren't they the ones that pick up many of the kids that can't qualify for the SEC mandated "extra math class."

I was kidding with you but to say they would be the third best team in the SEC this year is laughable unless they played a Big 12 schedule.

Somewhere from 3-5. Exactly where is debatable and too hypothetical to argue easily. I'm just making the point that those saying they won't be competitive are way off. They are already more competitive than Tennessee or UGA...traditional SEC powerhouses and all. I have mixed feelings about them joining, but no worries that they can play ball.

I still do not understand why the best conference would feel the need to expand.

I would much rather see teams like GaTech, UNC, FSU, noticing a trend here? They are all SOUTHERN teams, hence the name Southeastern Conference.
